Rockgollem:
So, as the title implies, the raw source had been taken down.
The issue arises from an unauthorized 3rd party website uploading his work. In the country the raw provider is from, there can be serious legal and/or financial issue arising for him while the party that uploaded his work without authorization can avoid possible repercussions.
This is not an isolated incident and the said 3rd party site has been the target of ire for many translators and raw providers. The latest set of incidence has resulted in loose coalition of response by many translators and raw providers including the one for Genocide Reality.
Subsequently, he took down his own work and the site to avoid possible problems. While it is unfortunate, this would mean no more Genocide Reality for us as well.
Our efforts will be re-directed to further polishing and fuelling other on-going projects on the site.
Skythewood:
Although Genocide Reality is a Japanese Webnovel, we are dependent on the Jap-Korean translators in order to provide an accurate translation. The Jap raw is only used as reference. Technically, it is possible to just Machine Translate the Jap source, but that’s not the way we do things here. Genocide Reality will be dropped for now.

As soon as i read this this was my literal reaction. Its sad, I didn’t even think this will happen. As one of the members on the team this was quite a loss for us.
It was fun while WN. We cant really do anything about it anymore. How about tling Monogatari no Naka no Hito?
ReplyDeleteMonohito is still being translated by izra u know.
DeleteNot really idea hasn't updated in months. I wish they'd either drop it so someone else picks it up or give an update, even if it just to say RL is kicking their butts so they are on indefinite hiatus
DeleteHe actually updated 2 days ago -.-
DeleteHope loli commander get more translation
ReplyDeleteI think Rocky is planning on doing a different series though...
DeleteThanks for the work.
ReplyDeletegenocide reality end as the world actually a site which taken down by legal issue. It happy yet bitter ending and everything make so much sense. The End, thanks for work all.
ReplyDeleteAnd thus Shogo entered the second floor. At first, all seemed to be going well, when suddenly he noticed something was off. The floor was quiet, too quiet. Suddenly, he found himself facing the greatest monster Genocide Reality has ever seen, the dreaded Deranged Minotaur Crow Abomination, DMCA! Two feathered wings, blacker than the darkest pitch, so tall that its bull-like horns scraped the ceiling, a crow's face with rapier-sharp beak, and beady, intelligent eyes. A muscular physique that would put even the most professional bodybuilder to shame with the legs ending in crow-like feet with razor sharp claws. In all his time playing the game, and preparing the walkthrough, Shogo found one and only one way of surviving an encounter with this beast, run, hide and pray to whatever god(s) you believe in that it finds someone else to torment, but now Shogo is alone. He wishes someone, anyone were here to use as a distraction, but foolishly, he set off dungeon diving alone. Even that virgin whore would be welcome right now. DMCA is all but immune to even the highest spells and skills, shrugs off all damage from normal weapons, has infinite stamina, and will relentlessly hunt its prey to the death. With a mighty "CAW" the dungeon floor and wall shake as if in a mighty earthquake, the floor stairs heading upward collapse right behind Shogo, leaving him unable to retreat and flee to the town. Instead he slides between its legs fleeing down the corridor hoping to lure it into traps like he did with the Orc boss. DMCA pursues, and smashes through the traps with ease, nearly cornering Shogo several times, but Shogo's stamina potions begin to run out, corner after corner, door after door, he runs, hoping to find some place to hide, but DMCA has caught his scent, and will not stop, smashing through door and wall alike in relentless pursuit. It grabs at him, kicks at him, tries to gore him with its horns or buffet him with its poison laced feathers, just missing by inches, but it gets harder and harder to evade with each attack. Finally, Shogo makes it to the third floor stairs to face two mustard dragons, but DMCA obliterates them both with a single blow, trying to avoid the poison, Shogo steps too close and is caught. DMCA loves nothing more than slowly feasting on main characters and hearing their anguished screams of pain. Starting at the feet, its horrific beak rips apart his shoes and crunches his bones like salteen crackers, Crunch, Crunch. Shogo screams in agony, kicks, flails, punches and cuts with his sword to no avail. Kept alive by its hideous magic, Shogo is completely helpless in its grip as it eats its way upward, finally reaching his head. Despite no longer having lungs, throat or voicebox, Shogo is magically compelled to scream in pain as DMCA holds his head in its hands. Finally it all ends with a quick peck through his eye, to suck out his brain, leaving his now fleshless skull as a warning to all who would dare to read the story without paying tribute to its mighty god the Yen Depressed, and seeking the favor to maybe, one day, publish a single chapter... THE END!
DeleteThank you for letting us know. Shadowsky.exe, hope to see your pictures adorning the pages of a different work!
ReplyDeleteT_T did the dragon kill him ? Noooo..!!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, what's the next series is the group going to be doing? Are you guys going to make another poll or take on the runner up from last poll(that has not been taken)
I was waiting for you to show up so I can eat you meat bun. ������
DeleteDon't bully meatbun
DeleteHow about a project like Arifurita?
ReplyDeleteOh god no, please anything except Arifurita.
DeleteNooooooo
DeleteArifurita is horrible
DeletePlease dont... -,-
DeleteArifarta~? God no, don't make me puke~!
Deletei'm glad its taken down....
ReplyDeletehow about yuusha party....? solistia rarely update it.... whats worst she refuse to drop it
i mean... WTF!
agreed 100%!
Delete+1 for yuusha party, we need more fun to read light novels around here. Dont know if is just that I search the wrong places but lately I mostly find dark or depressive novels.
DeleteI'm the +2 for Yuusha Party. Chapter 16 took quite a bit, I almost forgot the main plot half a year later.
DeleteGATE plz
ReplyDeleteYes Gate Vol 5 plz
DeleteNooo Youjo pls
DeleteWhat's the fate of Knight's and Magic ?
ReplyDeleteHow about doing Mismarca ?
DeleteThis 1 vote for mismarca
DeleteI agree with mismarca. Or any other similar work . Even Rain is good.
DeleteSky translates from the Chinese light novel version, which is only up to Vol 3.
DeleteNothing he can do until they publish more volumes.
+1 For this!
DeleteMismarca +1
DeleteDon't be discouraged! Thanks for all the hard work translating Genocide, and I'm looking forward to the next work!
ReplyDeletePersonally, i'd like to see Konjiki no Wordmaster. Others TL sites are taking years to translate a WN that's already finished.
ReplyDelete+1 for Konjiki no Wordmaster
Delete-1
DeleteNew poll please, i vote youjo senki
ReplyDeleteSeconded
DeleteThirded~
DeleteI fourth that motion.
Delete-9999 +8999 -2000 +3000 -1 +1
DeleteI agree to the aforementioned.
DeleteYes a million times yes
Deletehmm I hope they will pick up interesting story again
ReplyDeleteSo sad, was always looking forward to the next chapter, but there is nothing to be done. I hope you will find another interesting series and continue your high quality work. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thank you all work your hard work. But there is nothing one can do...
DeleteThere are so many great novels which are on hiatus (I am thinking at Rakuin no Monshou which takes forever to be translated since it is difficult - still thankful for their work but man I want to read the remaining 8 books... wish they would get help or cooperate with someone). Same story different novel: Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica, Tsurugi no Joou to Rakuin no Ko (did they drop it? last update was over 780 days ago), etc.
Well I hope you find a new story you also enjoy reading/translating!
why no more gate ? did something happen to the raws there too? (that wouldn be the case since there was no announcment but still i miss the project that dissapeared after the rampage :( )
ReplyDeletei think that the CN Translation up to volume 4, so the translator must wait a CN Translation to Translate volume 5 ++
DeleteI've actually seen the CN raws somewhere
Deletehttp://www.novelupdates.com/series/skeleton-knight-in-another-world/
ReplyDeleteainz adventurelike story.
Already being translated at https://uselessno4.wordpress.com/projects/skeleton-knight/
DeleteI know why don't you guys translate elvenblood it is awesome!
ReplyDeletePlease work on transfer diary! People wanted that the most last time Vote but somehow got genocide >.>
ReplyDeleteTry to translate Sekai no Owari no Encore
ReplyDeleteHow about Roku De Nashi Majutsu Koushi To Kinki Kyouten ? Just saying .
ReplyDeletePick something more fun, like Rakuin no Monshou or Kuro no Maou LN...
ReplyDeleteHmm, so sky forced "Genocide Reality" writer to take down raws, just they could have excuse to drop GR! Evil folks.
jashin tensei was considered last time its has a lot of good point and could be great
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd love to see Jashin Tensei translated. Not only is both the plot and characters great but each chapter is also short so it wouldn't be too much work for the translators when they have to translate a chapter. re: Translations translated the first twelve chapters but just gave up on it after that. I guess that's what happens when a group takes up too many projects at once.
DeleteI found the begining so bad and the whole history geek thing so terrible=He doesn't now shit about neither battles or history that I instanly droppes it.I'd rather have soemthing else.
DeleteWhat the heck with this disaster... this is suck my night weekend T.T
ReplyDeleteIf your looking for a new project do shiro no koukoku no monogatari.
ReplyDeleteSecond this!
DeleteWell, its quite sad but s..t hapens :). Thank you for translation of this project until now. I hope you can start another fun series. I could recommend Isekai Mahou ha Okureteru. Its good novel with very intelligent and cunning protagonist.Hes a mage (true mage btw, hes magic rely on quite a nice and complex real science from ancient times) who get summon to another world where his magic is superior (imagine a mage from Nasuverse (Kara No Kyoukai, Fate/stay Night etc) against typical fantasy magic which isnt even that powerfull:)). I think this project has stopped on chapter 24 and for a looong time there wasnt any update on his blog.
ReplyDeleteAnother great possibility is if you would start translating Tower Of Karma :D.
But decision is yours. Whatever you would start, I still will be gratefull :).
If you have nothing to translate now, how about translating Seiken Tsukai no World Break. That translation has been stalled for forever on Baka- Tsuki. Although a lot of people degrade it as just another harem novel, it really has a lot of potential. Furthermore there are at least 3-4 books that come out each year so there is a lot to translate for the readers. I think you guys should give it a shot. Plus the anime is already out and no one had licensed it.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like it if the guys at Skythewood could translate Seiken Tsukai World Break. Not only does it have Harem, it also has reincarnation, magic and swordsmanship. Plus the anime was awesome and I'd like to see what the novel is like. Also you're wrong in that last year, 6 books for the series were released. So I agree that there would be plenty of material for the translaters. Plus it works since with Overlord and Genocide gone, their is basically nothing for the Saturday slot.
Delete+1 for World Break!
DeleteWould love to see the LN translated, that or psycho love comedy!
Either way, thanks a bunch for all your effort guys
The moment when someone requests a certain novel to be translated but is too stupid to do any research beforehand.
Deletehttp://lndb.info/light_novel/Kuro_no_Hiera-Glaphicos
ReplyDeleteSky. Can I ask a favour? Do you know where I can find online chinese raws of the series mentioned above? Providing a link to the page(s) would really help. Thanks in advance.
Buy it.

DeleteI know it's not likely, but I hope this promotes more resources for Youjo Senki.
ReplyDeleteHow about Tokage no Ou?
ReplyDeletegodamit and after yesterday holiday as well just goddamit
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sad about Genocide Reality as I was reading it every week, but the main character was getting a little annoying to me anyway. I second what the others have said and would like a poll on a new series like last time! :)
ReplyDeleteOh well, easy come, easy go.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your next project.
This sucks big time :/.
ReplyDeleteHow About Translation of Kore wa Zombie desu ka???
ReplyDeleteNanodesu are doing that, they've been doing it for quite a while.
DeleteIt's really slow
Delete... Awwwwwww~ really? ??? So does skythewood then not translate Japanese versions of ln or wn but Korean version? So do you use someone else's Korean translation of the wn? Well that's too bad, was really looking forward to this series on Saturday, it will be missed and eagerly awaiting its return.
ReplyDelete*insert darth vader nooooooo scene*... I fell on my knees when I read this... Goddamitall! I really liked this series... Thanks for all the work till now guys, I'm eager to see what your new project will be... Now I going to sulk at my room for a while
ReplyDeletewell....... shit
ReplyDeleteDon't mind me. Just watching people drop a bunch of novels that they want translated just because a project got dropped.
ReplyDeleteLol.
DeleteComrade!
How about doing Overlord Web novel version?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest that actually really pisses me off ( im not mad at the translators here just mad in general) i just started really getting into overlord bam got licensed made that a waste of time reading so many words and just when i started to get into this one it gets hitaused too aghhhhhhhhhhhhh this one had a decent premise too its so fucking depressing and angering thanks for your hard work though translators i imagine u must be even more pissed off since u had to waste more time actually working on it lol whelp
ReplyDeleteDang man, the effort you guys put in and everthing just stopping to a halt like that. Must feel horrible!
ReplyDeleteHope you guys get back some motivation for future projects Keep up the awesome work!
Auuu.... this broke my heart the most in this 'fallen time'....
ReplyDeleteWell time for the training diary that my bot elected...
ReplyDeleteSo sky... what will you do next?
ReplyDeleteJust focuse updating Altina please...
ReplyDeletethought takedown was the new chanpter's title till halfway through
ReplyDeleteSky,pick up a NEW WN that can replace Genocide reality if you have time ^^
ReplyDeleteHow about "Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou!"? The translator have been busy and is open to collaborations (https://nohohontranslations.wordpress.com/).
ReplyDeleteTokage no Ou pleaseeeee, it´s really good, yandere heroine =D
ReplyDeleteLol it was do bad, the author took it down XD.... Time for youjo senki.
ReplyDeleteGuys wtf let them rest for some time. If you're going to leech, at least leech in an honorable way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your hard work in GR!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, thank you for the time you put in to translate this far, here's to hoping someone else will pick it up.
DeleteMaybe u can help the translator doing Goblin No Oukoku.
ReplyDeleteApperantly he has to slow down his translation due to real life happenings.
agreed its a very good novel
DeleteOne by one, One by one, One by one, One by one, One by one,every series that i read is alway taken down.
ReplyDeleteSky,if you're interested,how about Commentarii de Imperio Romnia?
ReplyDeleteIt's by the same author as Ochite Kita Naga to Horobiyuku Majo no Kuni and with Erect Sawaru as the illustrator.Currently 7 volumes are out with only the first 3 available.
Kind of glad Genocide being taken down :p
ReplyDeleteNow, it's time for Youjo Senki!!
It's too bad that the korean raw for GR was taken offline due to the aggregator site reselling the translation and thus increasing the legal exposure to the translator. I went to the japanese author's officially publicly released version and used several different machine translators to get an idea of what is going on. It seems the story keeps on improving after the slow start and there is a lot more intrigue too. The author just had to develop the environment enough and have the characters level a bit out of the total newbie stage in order to avoid having a story just about newbies.
