Altina is caught up again, and will be dropped from this site

Dropping a translation project that is all caught up might sound retarded, but I'm going to do it anyway. Sort of like giving a very long notice period before quitting a job, since this volume was released just a little over 2 months ago. The next one will probably be published next year, as the author is busy with his other novel is getting an anime.

pic unrelated; volume 4 of Altina manga

This is great news for readers because:
1) If there is a new translator, the release might be faster.
2) The translation might be better.
3) Less memes and retards in translation.
4) The new translator might be a saint.
5) The new translator might be a girl.
6) The new translator might be a trap.

So we should all rejoice that this series has been dropped!

I want to apologize

I didn't know what I expected when I made that poll. That readers will choose something in the middle instead of the two extremes? Anyway, that was retarded of me, so I want to apologize for the existence of that poll.

In short, the sum of the poll numbers in patreon and this blog is leaning towards carrying on Food until its done.

Fig.1 Altina's pure and innocent smile

However, there is another way. I can work overtime and translate Altina V13 while keeping up the usual Food translation schedule. It will be stressful and I can't keep that up for long, but it's an option.

And to be fair to both sides, I should make Early Access for Altina available on patreon, albeit for a month or so. But the patreon is kind of set up exclusively for Food, so I'm not sure how to squeeze Altina in. Or I can make another patreon, but... no thanks.

Looks like I have painted myself into a corner, and working overtime is one way of solving this. Will need to figure this out. Suggestions are welcomed. Again, sorry for any undue stress I have caused you.

Altina Volume 13 set to be released in Japan on 28th February

http://ln-news.com/archives/67822/post-67822/
Volume 13 is scheduled to be released on 28th February. After its release in 2012, the series has finally sold 500,000 copies.

In comparison, Overlord which also debuted in 2012 reached 600,000 sales by mid 2015, and hit 2 million by end 2015.

Leaving all that aside, not sure what I should do about Altina 13 when it comes out. Stop Food LN and translate this? Ignore it until Food LN is fully caught up around the end of the year? What about the patreon thingie?

Don't think anyone will want to take over this unpopular LN too.

What do?
