ReplyDeleteReally good story, looking forward to more chapters.
Maybe this can replace Overlord?
blashemy!
DeleteAll hail to Ooal Ooal Gown!
DeleteBurn the heretic!
DeleteAs in, when it can't be translated any more....

Deletewell im with you on that one overLord is going to end soon anyway
DeleteThe one replacing Overlord, once the 9th volume is complete would be Genocide Reality
DeleteCan you hear that? can you hear the heresy? FLOOR GUARDIANS! attack this heretic this instant! For the glory of the Overlord, Ainz Ooal Gown!

DeleteTo the farm you go.
DeleteInfidel!
DeleteI'll have you raped maimed burned and killed ALL FOR THE NAME OF HIS UNHOLINESS AINZ OOAL GOWN!
You're lucky if i have it done to you in that order
I would like to have this be a regularly updated novel, I wonder how good GR will be compared to this.
DeleteImmoral!!!!!!!
DeleteReplace Overlord? What blasphemy is this.
DeleteYou have no respect towards Supreme Overlord of Death.
....and what has that p2w scrub done to deserve respect?
DeleteFools! Instead of worshiping your false god you should all bow down to the invincible Lord Touch Me!!!

DeleteLOL but it is obvious that Tanya is god much more worthy of our prayer than ainz. Because almost everything ainz accomplishes is by
Deletea miscalculation or accident. And everything tanya plans is accomplished by her extrime gamble with her life and own strength. She is a Nietzschean Übermensch ALL HAIL LOLI SALARIMAN.
who the hell is tanya... never heard of..
DeleteAinz Ooal Gown sama banzai.
DeleteFoolish human!
DeleteYou've made a big mistakes!
What absurdity. You will pay for your sins. You will regret your silly words, mere human.
DeleteAinz Ooal Gown-sama is not pleased.
Deletei hope you burn in the 6th Floor
Tanya is this novel's MC , you know
Deleteoverlord at this point is too much about self-insert and about a op mc so the story has gone to crap since theres no real threat and anything interesting happening. youjo senki has more potential to be a good story. for overlord to redeem itself several of the side characters would have to actually die or be maimed or something. but when everyone can just be revived back from death easily there isnt really any actual threat so i find it hard to take the story seriously. at this point overlord can still be a good story since it already has more world building and stuff going on then the other generic harem isekais. another thing that kinda pisses me off is all the maids lusting after ainz d not that its inherently bad just that harems in general are shit. luckily the author removed ainz big d so the story doesn't degenerate.overlord is better then most of the other isekais but its not perfect.
Delete"another thing that kinda pisses me off is all the maids lusting after ainz d not that its inherently bad just that harems in general are shit"
DeleteThat's an exaggeration.
Overlord is a story of conquest, idk wtf you're complaining about. There's A LOT of threat when you critically think about the many things left unanswered. I get it though, not your cup of tea, so don't bother reading it anymore. You still will despite what I said though, know why? Because it has you hooked too now stfu.
DeleteJust checked in on this site and noticed this new project you have up.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic(despite some fanfics having used an almost similar setup "anger the god person and whatnot")
After I get done reading a couple new fanfic involving Worm, will read this then :3
cool beans, thanks for the translation ghostaker
ReplyDeleteAh thank you for posting this, I've actually got up to volume 2 in Korean but could not for the love of me find what it was called in English. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThe terror known as loli!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHide your kids and hide your wife because things are going south for the bad guys.
She is on the side of the bad guys
Deletewell bad is more of a perspective. it all about who is the winner and turns out Tanya is the winner. so ... much ... win!!
Deletethat what we called Yandere Youjo aka, dark loli..
DeleteThat word doesn't mean what you think it means.
DeleteA special message for you from the b0ss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dbR2JZmlWo
Bad guys? Isn't empire the one which is harassed by surrounding nations?
DeleteCute is justice so there is no such thing as a bad loli
DeleteMake this a permanent project after Overlord is done
ReplyDeleteMe gustaria que fuera permanente es muy interesante
ReplyDeleteThank you for translating this I really enjoyed the teaser
ReplyDeleteHope for continuation, it was a great read (and translation).
ReplyDeleteSounds good and hope it can inherit the position of Overlord
ReplyDelete"who prioritize over anything else efficiency and her own carrier"
ReplyDeletecarrier =>career
thanks for the translation
Awesome synopsis. Hope this evolves from being 'just a teaser'
ReplyDeletepermanent project please
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Please make this into a permanent project
ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused after reading the synopsis for this. Is she a Mage/wizard, a business salarywomen, or what? Does she have powers or something? If someone could please answer my question, I would greatly appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteA magical highly efficient Nazi loli
DeleteNazi loli yaaaay~
DeleteSo she's a business salaryman who is reincarnated as a girl, who is now in the army as a mage but not in a traditional sense.
DeleteHope she didn't meet Hero of shield and get caputerd.
ReplyDeleteOr hiiro the loli conquerer
DeleteThe god that bring down little girls.
DeleteLolis beware.
You better watch out
You better watch out
Hiiro is coming to town.
for some reason the cover of the odd number book makes her look patriotic, while the even number books makes her look like a lunatic
ReplyDeleteThat's probably intentionally done as a way to show the two most common ways people see her.
DeleteShe's probably doing it on purpose, because she had no other choice but to show to others that she's doing her job seriously to gain merits. Like in chapter 1, she 'act' like she's going to stall the enemies untill the reinforcements arrives, 'act' like an ideal soldier because she had no other choice.. Haha if she retreat she's going to be branded as a deserter and get executed on the spot..
DeleteI really hoped some one would pick this up! Please make it the successor of Overlord!
ReplyDeleteBut Thanks for the Chapters you did up till now!
Yay. New project!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up Ghostaker! :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting. Thanks Ghostaker !!
ReplyDeleteReally liked it, waiting for more!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting
ReplyDeleteGender bender?
ReplyDeleteI need moreeee! Dx. Thanks for the translations ghostaker, i look forward to more in the future :D
ReplyDeleteSoo basically Overlord's Ainz Ooal Gown mixed with Hitler in a loli body that has OP powers that commands an army? I'm joining in~
ReplyDeleteTаnyа, mу comЯade.
ReplyDeleteTаnyа, mу comЯade.
ReplyDeleteI hope the translation of the novel will be going on continuously, it's fucking amazing! Exactly the stuff you want to read about, pure entertainment of highest quality.
ReplyDeleteLove it so far and hope the translator can continue
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, I'll give you serious kudos and praise for the intense effort of translating this beast of a novel.
ReplyDeleteI tried translating this once and didn't end well for me as it clashed with my work and school time.
For doing this for free and even translating it as we speak, I bow down to Ghostaker and wondering if you're single (I'm assuming you're a guy?). You have my respect along with various readers here.
SHE'S BASICALLY HITLER! THAT'S AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteThis novel is one of the best Senki novels I've read. It's a great novel though the author does get a bit too wordy. Its fun to read about the war from the point of view of a nazi loli. Thank you for picking this up.
ReplyDeleteLoli Hitler? YEAH!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat Hitler? He was faschist (radical nacionalist) and tyrant, who believe in Master Race.
ReplyDeleteMC is focused on her own efficency and carreer, while going into dangerous situations without better choices.
Much like C. Cain, who was dragged into "heroic" title by his own bad luck.
I must say... I don't like that look in her eyes... It's like she's deranged or something. Hopefully this would be a good read. Hopefully she wouldn't go Nazi holocaust or whatever, she's (kinda?) too cute for that.
ReplyDelete¿Hitogami alter is Pedo and Nazi? Nice. Good project, i expect more, is really, really good.
ReplyDeleteReally awesome so far (especially the art).
ReplyDeletePlease keep this project up!
Love this, but I heard it's horrible to translate so thanks for you HARD work!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for translating this novel. If I need to choose (as a petty leeeeeecher) between the translation of Gate and Youjo I would choose Youjo.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Well there is a Anime and a Manga for Gate but not for Youjo.
So please keep this as a project after Overlord.
You really have no FUCKING idea how long i have been waiting for this!! first overlord and then loli wartales, fuck everything i am marrying you man!!
ReplyDeleteDamn.... Japanese salary men are quiet OP! 1st was Ainz of Overlord, then Rimuru of Tensei Shitara Sli e Datta Ken and now this one.
ReplyDeleteLol.
DeleteAt least they all make good reads.
This needs to become a full project instead of a teaser.
ReplyDeletebow down to your new loli overlord!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the translations. Man, this story just hits all my standards. It's been a while since I decided to read something now. I am glad I wasn't mistaken. I sincerely hope that this translation will be continued.
ReplyDeleteExcellent story so far. Everything is too the point. Really hope this will become a main project rather than a teaser soon. Many thanks to the Skythewood Overlord Team for your dedicated hard work!!!!
ReplyDeletemake it happen sky!
ReplyDelete「Ia Shub-Niggurath!」Ainz 's super tier magic...by sacrificing 70k shocked leechers because of finished translation project of Overlord. A cute adorable dark loli was borned...

ReplyDeleteAfter finding out that Overlord was being dropped, i felt as if something was going to be missing from my life. However, once i read the prologue and first chapter of Youjo, i realized that this project can replace the joy that Overlord gave me. I know that many others feel the same way, and because of this I beg you to make Youjo a permanent project
ReplyDeletePlease don't prioritize Genocide Reality over Youjo (if we can even talk about youjo being a main project). I'm no expert but i have a feeling that
ReplyDeleteYoujo is going to be MUCH more interesting...
Youjo for the win !
Permanent, permanent, permanent!
ReplyDeleteGuys go on with me!
Really do how you feel sky and co but i think it will be good.

ReplyDeletedammmmn this is good
ReplyDeleteHope this will be turned into a permanent project XD
ReplyDeleteI wish when i start reading the new light novel i can read until it's ending!
ReplyDeleteWOW U too? No way!
DeleteI have thought that most ppl love to stop in the middle. For example on some nice cliffhangers....
Interesting, really good beginning
ReplyDeleteThank you based god Ainz-sama. I've wanted to read this for a while.
ReplyDeleteLooking really good so far, please pick this up.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else feels the similarities between this and Daybreak on Hyperion from krytyk's?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the main character has a nearly flipped personality seeing as our loli here is cynical to the point of seeming sociopathic.
Nice work; all that terminology must make it a pain to TL.
I think it will be more "modern" warfare but yup it is very similar. Loli in magic army and she was boy before. TS magic army tags and plot focused on mc mind.
DeleteYup it is amlost same.
BUT STILL I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO READ MORE OF YOUJO.
Why "Youjo ==> 2016?" on shedule is now so small???? ;C :C :C :C :C :C :C :C :C pls don't drop it O.O
This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteReally hope this will be translated 'til the end :D
really wish this could replace genocide
ReplyDeletesame
Deletex3
DeleteThanks for the translation
ReplyDeleteI look forward to future posts. :)
Hey guys! Pick this up please @__@
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Overlord TL by the way! Keep being awesome! :D
Just one more month.
ReplyDeleteReally good thanks and I hope it continues :P
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Just started reading it. Hope you continue this. Can't really get in the mood to read GR or Gate.
ReplyDeletecan you link me gate?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou should pick this up. It's much better than Genoside. Gate is also ok but this feels better.
ReplyDeleteSalari... MEN!! Puttin TS tag...
ReplyDeleteThank you for this new story. The cover art is way too scary. I thought it was about zombie apocalypse at first glance.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVTuKzHFTsU
ReplyDeleteChapter 1's battle scene. Subbing it would be nice after catching up to the 5+ volumes that are out.
She's even more creepy voice out Oo
DeleteVoice kinda reminds me of Katyusha in 'Girls und Panzer'... it's appropriate.
DeleteWell I don't understand Japanese but is that other normal sounding girl who is with Tanya her 'foil?' Or another side character?
DeleteThis is a good story. I'm looking forward to more chapters.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the translations.
Well it really is great now i cant help but want more
ReplyDeletekinda reminds me of knights and magic, havnt read any of this yet just the synopsis.. only thing is not a trap but an actual girl reincarnation into an op badass
ReplyDelete"Youjo ==> mid 2016?"
ReplyDeleteIt's all over. RIP Youjo Senki you will be missed. (╥_╥)
RIP my hopes and dreams.
DeleteIt was fun while it lasted.
Mid 2016 for youjo ? Cruel world...
ReplyDeleteI forsake you genocide reality, if only you did not exist maybe youjo would be translated sooner !
(╥﹏╥)
Youjo ==> mid 2016?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s
Youjo mid 2016? THERE IS NO GOD ASJKDLGHWQLKGEQ :'(
ReplyDelete....did you guys see what I did there?
To be honest, this one is really REAL much better than Genoreal. I can't use my imagination at all when reading Genoreal, it feels like reading at news papers
ReplyDeleteWelp, I only could wish, that you pick this up sooner, because this novel is really good
despite that, I want to thank you for translating everything
Youjo ==> mid 2016?
ReplyDeleteGOD IS DEAD!
NOOOOOOO
DeletePLEASE WE NEED MORE!!
I want to die..... some1 can help me with it, I don't even care anymore...
DeleteMy only reason to everyday enter skythewood site is to check If there was some update or date of realise on Yojo ... and i see this ... ... ...
Kill me some1 .......
....MID 2016?!?!
ReplyDeleteNooooooo!
ReplyDeleteThis is too good to be postponed that long.
Has anyone asked about picking this translation up? I really enjoyed the bit that I read and am hoping for more, but I understand it's low-priority on this site, so just wondering. Although if someone did pick it up I would personally prefer it to be someone with similar quality standards, definitely not just another casual foreign uni student MTL'ing with little/no editing because he/she likes the culture and uses it to practice English. I believe that it's fine to do that, but I wouldn't consider those sites to be proper translation service sites tbh, more of just a straight-up blog.
ReplyDeleteReally like the teaser! Hopefully can go perma. Thx for the read!
ReplyDeleteWhy is youjo senki moved?
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of sad that the most promising project is given the least priority. On the other hand though, this looks really hard to translate because of all the military jargons being thrown around.
ReplyDeletelol, from 2016 to mid 2016, that escalated quickly
ReplyDeletevolume 5 coming out end of this month. so psyche when this stuff is finally transated
ReplyDeleteIt'll be the year 2025 when we'll finally get volume 5 translated at this rate.
DeleteSomeone kill me!!
I'm hoping they decide to pick this up again soon. I am greatful for all that the translators do, but the recent translations don't get me excited like I feel this one would. Go Demon Loli!
ReplyDeletemy current state : awaiting and drying TOT
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/IEEE80211/status/692609121632190464
ReplyDeleteDo not worry guys, Youjo Senki will get anime adaptation.
I hope it will be decent
I feel sorry about designs.
DeleteThey're going to be Overlord tier.
Please no anime, I don't want another licensed light novel. GO AWAY YEN PRESS NOTHING TO SEE HERE!! :(
DeleteI guess anime will cover much more plot than translated novel :C :C :C
DeleteI hope you could continue to translate this. Awesome novel
ReplyDeleteI Love this!
ReplyDeletedude are you gonna update or what?
ReplyDeleteplease continue!!
ReplyDelete*Heavy Breathing*
ReplyDeletehaven't updated new chapter?
ReplyDeleteWhere is it? I need my fix
ReplyDeleteIt's the end of February now, right? I've been waiting for this.
ReplyDeleteCome on out! Abra Cadabra!
ReplyDeleteWhere is it?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd chapter is finally out, praise devil-X and his gang.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely grateful for this, and I can't wait to see her insanity in the anime as well :)
ReplyDeleteThe anime will most likely be a disappointment... or rather, I just can't imagine how they plan on animating it other than making up lots of original content -_-
DeleteIn the end it will really depend on the studio that is in charge of making the anime.
Deletebones, it has to be bones.
Deletei love it!!!
ReplyDeletepls translate this faster before got licensed/dmca
ReplyDeleteThe point of these translations in the first place IS to get them licensed.
DeletePlease ignore the comment above me.
ReplyDeleteBtw, how many words per chapter was it on the JP version? I feel like translating it with just two persons is a bit..... excessive (overloaded?), for the translator. :|
ReplyDeleteI think each chapter is around 100 pages long.
DeleteThis feels like knight's and magic. Working guys reincarnated as cute little beings.. Hmm
ReplyDeletei really love this LN, i don't want to wait for anime adaption. i need moar chaptah
ReplyDelete/ak/ scanlations translated the first chapter of the manga
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks bloody awesome :)
Deletehttp://mangapark.me/manga/youjo-senki-1/s2/v1/c1
Interesting , i dig it .
ReplyDeleteSo, Chapter 3 might be delayed, right?
ReplyDeleteLove this. umm, Can you please have a "prediction" about the day chapter 4 done? :D
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me where should I put my life in line to help with translating this?
ReplyDeleteAsk Skythewoods he have a email begin page
DeleteSo... is this still a teaser project or is this becoming a mainstay?
ReplyDeleteanytime now :( chapter 4
ReplyDeletepermanent
ReplyDeleteLoves, cheers, hugs, awe's, kisses and worships for the insane job it must be translating these horrendous long chapters.
ReplyDeleteOn that topic, have you considered splitting the humongous chapters into smaller parts? I see some other translators do that, like Dungeon Defense.
Ch 4
ReplyDeleteAaaaa translator where are you?
ReplyDeleteseriously these updates take entirely too long waiting 1-3 months for a single chapter is retarded. I understand it might be difficult for you to translate but if thats the case don't you think you should let someone else who can handle it do it? I'd honestly rather you drop this and hopefully someone else can pick it up who won't have as many problems trying to translate it.No offense just my opinion.
ReplyDelete"No offense just my opinion."
DeleteAfter you subtly insulted their capability to handle this project. Ok.
I honestly hope for the first time that the translator of a series doesn't read the comments as seen from the one above me, people just don't know how to appreciate someone's hard free work. casual impatient people who think they have the right to tell the translator which series to drop or not. tsk no shame at all. i have been here from around the prologue and it has almost become a semi-monthly or monthly ritual for me to check this website, i like this story and enjoy it immensely, and i know for a fact that the quality of the translation is top notch since even a series which would other wise be just a technical jargon is able to be read so smoothly. thank you.
ReplyDeletethat aside, i am very excited for the coming new chapter September the eigth, haha i just checked randomly today and lo and behold a nice surprise.
+100
DeleteWaiting for the rain tututu.
ReplyDeleteYay, thank for new chapter
ReplyDeleteDo we know how many chapters are in volume 1? I can't find it anywhere on the site.
ReplyDeleteGuys, I can't stop thinking that the Anime anouncement is a bluff. Make me stop
ReplyDeleteSo why the long time between each chapter?
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeees new chapter thank you translators
ReplyDeleteI feel like I need to do this.
ReplyDeleteToday I just found this page, and I am just too happy that I would share this for someone who didn't know.
Meanwhile Eng manga translation is up to chapter 2, the Jap raw had done drawing 7 chapter, so, enjoy guys,here the link
