Hey everyone. Frozen-sama here. First things first, Merry Christmas and happy upcoming new year. It's been a hectic year for me in various ways.
So, as you might have guessed from the post title, I've got an announcement to make about LE. As some of you may remember, I first started this blog to post summaries of Last Embryo. But later on, Magref, the previous Mondaiji translator, decided to drop it for good and the project was left to gather dust. Being a huge fan of it, I felt bad seeing the Light Novel I loved stalled, with no TL willing to take over. And so, I decided to test the waters, gathered a team and tackled with it.
After we were done with Mondaiji, we moved on to LE and have been releasing chapters every month or two...until this year. After we reached V3, everyone suddenly got busy, and we started falling more and more behind, and it took us until now to finish it even though the TL has been done for a long time now.
But over the two years, I've gradually found myself not enjoying LE as much I used to, and in the end, it even reached the point where I was half forcing myself to translate it because people (even my team members) seemed to enjoy it. From a fan for the fans - that has been the main motto for this blog, but now that I'm not enjoying the novel as I used to, and after much thought, I've come to the decision to drop Last Embryo.
Hopefully, someone who enjoys it more decides to take over and do a good job. Or better yet, it gets licensed and finally receives a professional translation.
Probably never, but hey, a man can dream. One day, I might decide to go back to it if no one else does, but only the future can tell that.
So with that, thanks for reading it so far.
Now... Now that my hands are free from LE, there are a couple of LNs that I've been thinking of picking up, and I narrowed down the list to three:
- Vanquish Overlord
- Digital Eden Attracts Humanity
- Musaigen no Phantom World
I will add a poll to the sidebar (or bottom on mobile view) soon, and another poll on my Discord and decide which of the three to pick up based on the results.
I've already released a teaser for Vanquish before, and I'll release one for Digital Eden in a bit. For Musaigen...
HERE is some teaser a certain pig that can fly did before.
I'll keep the polls going until the holidays and stuff calm down, so maybe a month.
So, until then!
