Now, I’m sure you noticed my translation slowed down to the point it affected the bulk release.
I admit, I intended that to happen. Not because of my IRL nor because of my time.
But lately, I’ve been receiving hate comments about my friends. (Kiriko and XCrossJ)
Think about this, if I continue to translate KnW in expense of my friends reputation, then I’ll choose my friends. If you are in my place, would you still continue translating while your friends get burned by such rude comments?
I’ve been kind enough not to approve these comments or make a comment about them, but this time you’ve hit a nerve. I can’t let it continue any further.
I’ll be honest, my motivation on translating KnW took a hit. I love this novel. I’m being considerate enough to translate it without something in return, but if such rude comments continues to pile in my inbox again. Someday I’ll surely retire from translating this said novel.
So I’m pleading to you people right now. Stop insulting my friends. Actually, if you have something to tell them, do so in their blogs. Bluntly tell them, not on this blog site like some shout box.
Hmpf. Enough said. Anri out.

Some people just don’t understand translators/editors bring us english translations not out of obligation, but labor of love. Translators/editors are people too. They have real life obligations, and it takes time to translate. But there’s always a s***head who just doesn’t have the patience.
My advice to those people: If you can’t afford to wait, then go translate it yourself god damn it!
anyways, screw them, I’m very sorry for what happened to your friends, and thank you for translating this novel mate 🙂

well, i do think haters have their own rights but can’t they just keep their rude comments for themselves? wait patiently no matter how many years it takes ’cause our translators have their own free will.. they do what they want, and leave what they don’t so please keep your shitty mouths shut if you guys don’t have anything nice to say..seriously..it really pisses any person off if you guys mock someone’s friends just read peacefully and keep those garbages that comes out your mouth ti yourselves no one needs it here… -_-

Most of those haters are plain ignorant of the way the process works, and as stated before, if they want it so bad badly they can translate it themselves instead of whining and see for themselves.
You had no obligation to translate and neither did xcross or kiriko (who both did great while they were running). People have lives to live, plain and simple. Making your point clear here for them is a sign of good character.
Anyway, just know there are many who actually support your opinion and understand that all fan translations (past and present) are a privilege and NOT a right,

Damn I can’t believe people are doing this. This is the second (possibly third) time I’ve seen commenters cause a translator to consider dropping a project. Kiriko and xross definitely don’t deserve hate. None of the old translators do. We should be greatful for the stuff you guys do. In the future I want to translate to and I’d hate if this happened to me. So I hope they stop. Cause I really don’t want the few to ruin this project for everyone. Maybe you should consider turning comments off or something unless you require our feedback?

Sorry your friends are getting trashed, from what I see they did good work. What I’m confused about, is that Nickdoyle is or was translating this story, and from what I can see is still getting donations to translate it. What gives? I appreciate your translations, but if you decide to stop this one maybe you could TL Maken no Daydreamer and or Ore to Kanojo ga Geboku de Dorei de Shuujuu Keiyaku. I’ve read what has been TL’d and enjoy both stories.

XCrossJ and Kiriko are good people, all the people that have worked on KnW are good people, no amount of hate will ever change that, but there will always be hate.
There are bad translators out there too, that claim others’ work their own and/or lock their translations behind a paywall. However XCrossJ and Kiriko were good translators, they worked out of the goodness in their hearts to spread stories they enjoyed to people that couldn’t read them in their original formats.
If I had to say 1 bad thing about either of them, I could only say that they kind of vanished from the series. That isn’t really a bad thing either, it was always clear they only translated in their free time and that real life was unpredictable, it was a given that something could happen at any moment, without warning, and translations might stop because of it.
If this is as far as you take this translation, I’d understand, I know just how aggravating it is to have a person you look up to or something you enjoy be insulted.

seeing some of the comments here is a little dissapointing, while i totaly agree that people shouldnt b*tch about others, it ends up that the people trying to defend the translators are doing exactly just that. its sad that the hypocrysy just makes things worse, why cant we all just stick to “if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all”… that being said thanks for translating up to this point and that extends to all the people whove worked on this so far, it would be a shame to see this dropped over the immature comments of others.

Another translation site almost ruined by its readers, can’t believe this is still happening. I know the internet gives people a screen to hide behind and that seems to make them that think saying whatever is just fine. But please guys, give the translators some actual love and stop bashing people for their quality. Constructive critisism backed up by some sort of reason is fine but raising your pitchforks and burning your torches and literally screaming “YOU SUCK” and “FUCK YOU” is just sad. No one thinks you’re cool because you flame translators, and no one cares about what you have to say if you do so in such a manner. There, those are my 2 cents, now ignore this and continue hating : ( …

Most haters only want to offend and provoke negative reactions so they can feel superior inside their twisted little worlds. I would like to say that you should ignore such messages and laugh them off, but I have been on the receiving end of hate and know feelings aren’t that easy to control. For the sake of the novel and the many people who do appreciate your work, I hope you will continue in spite of this cyber bullying, but if you feel too pressured then don’t. Nothing is worth ruining yourself over.
