Hi there guys, Reigokai here!
So, what you have been waiting…hopefully. The announcement of the new project! —But first! I would like to get some points cleared out before that.
Let me be honest here, I read A LOT of stories before deciding. I read the suggestions and swam on my own at syosetsu.
Let me talk about the latter first. The amount of trash was beyond belief. I am sorry about saying this of others’ creations, but that’s how I felt while I was wasting away reading them all. I felt like this was a futile expedition, and at the same time, felt renewed respect towards the translators that find gems. And I once again understood just how lucky I was when I blind-picked Tsuki ga Michibiku.
Now, I might have missed some gems there, since if I were given only 10 chapters of Tsuki and had to decide if to translate it, let me be honest, I wouldn’t have. So some of them might have become a lot deeper than I expected.
Now, onto the first one, and most likely, the one you cared about the most. Your suggestions.
There were an incredible amount of suggestions, and of that, I am truly grateful. I checked them out and bookmarked some even. But these are the points that made most of them hard to pick:
1. Only source is light novel. I want to steer clear from that area, mainly because of legal issues.
2. The web novel raw had at least 1 year of hiatus. Ironic, I know.
3. Some were already being translated? Uhmm…thanks for adding to my bookmarks.
4. Alphapolis changing their policies. Apparently, alphapolis has now implemented the ‘pay to read’. First few chapters are free, but the next ones, you have to pay. Also, you can’t copy+paste there anymore (and I don’t know how to get around that).
5. And the most important, personal preference 🙂
Now, with all that out of the way, I will announce the new project! *drum roll*
World Reformation activities of the Dark God — Loving humans so much, I reincarnated in one —
Synopsis:
At the genesis of the world, the ‘Dark God Entropy’ was defeated in the fight between the five other Gods, and was sealed.
And then, after 1,600 years, the seal of the God of Darkness was released and he is liberated. The God that was now free didn’t really have any special intent for revenge and didn’t have anything to do, so he decided to reincarnate as a human and enjoy the life of a human being.
The human that had obtained the soul of the Dark God and was born was ‘Kuromiya Haine’, a human that -while being human- possesses the powers and memories of the God of Darkness. The strongest existence.
While saving the heroes that fight monsters, and fighting against the other Gods that are trying to rule the humans, he acts in order to make the world a better place.
Yes, this is the new project! I have read 110 chapters of it, and I gotta say, the story has a lot of action, and the interactions between characters is one of my favorite parts of it.
Some may ask, ‘But Reigokai! He is not a Japanese person, and there’s no summoning or that kind of stuff! Aren’t you an Isekai translator? And what about Truck-sama?!’.
Yeah, there’s no Japanese person, and no summoning, but what I am looking for is not a transported MC to an Isekai, it is to transport you to an Isekai.
And whenever we read an Isekai story, Truck-sama runs over us and sends us to an Isekai. He is always by your side, waiting.
Also, special thanks to Raizu for recommending this and many other titles!
A close second was Sayonara Ryuusei Konnichiwa Jinsei.
But this fell in the points 4 and 5. Maybe in the future, when the point 4 is solved! (No, time machine is just a temporary one, and not one that actually solves it)
Estimated time of post will be starting next week.
I hope you guys stick along in this new journey to a new Isekai.
Isekai e Youkoso!
“Uguo… That felt terrible…” What I saw within my vision was an endless white space.…
It is not like I was certain, but I did think that we might end…
“Eh? It wasn’t that you came to visit me?” (Furiae) “Aah, yeah…you could say that.”…
There may have been cases when I would begrudge my own lack of strength, but…

Seems interesting.
BTW, the post title made me think you had mass produced meat buns.
...
Hmm...
Where is our local talking meat bun?
He was eaten by our one and only ohmariowv.
He was hunting nepus, but coincidentally encounter meatbun-san, by the road side, and ate him only to resume search nepus again.
Poor meatbun-san, may he be by our side to deliver more meatbun on our way~
I was wondering, was it delicious?
I assume they went the way of all meatbuns. Into my stomach.
Eh. Is it?
Or wait, is it you typing now...or is it the meatbun-san...
meatbunz ? you mean gonz ? he's in a better place..... inside pochi and tama belly...
Don't they literally compress the food in their stomachs into small packets of stored nutrients?
meat buns? you're lucky to think about that from the title.
when I make something "hot and steaming", I flush it away...
"And what about Truck-sama?!"
The important question right there ...they're always lurking in the comment waiting to strike!
(Theory: Reikogai is the real boss of Truck-sama.)
Shhh! Don't bring too much attention to yourself! And don't say that theory aloud!

(They might hear you)
This looks rad, and I'm excited for it but my first thought was -
" Oh god, why would you hold your sword like that? "
What's wrong with how she holds her sword?
My personal issue is how overly decorated the sword seems to be.
She's holding it too close to the guard and the overly decorated guard would interfere when she swings. On a normal sword, it won't matter much, but with that sword, the wing like guard will obstruct her hand.
Huh. Didn't know that. :D
She also has her arm rotated so far outward that the blade's pommel is resting on her opposite hip joint. A hit to the side of the blade facing you would wrench the blade out of her hand. It also means her ONE piece of wacky fantasy armor is restricting her already limited potential range of movement. The ergonomics of the sword itself are pretty bad too, as reaper pointed out. The way the hilt's shaped more or less forces you to choke up on the overly elaborate guard.
Hmm. I have to wonder. Is there any fantasy fiction sword design that isn't overshadowed by historical designs?
In fact, what sort of magic effects would have to be applied to a sword for incredibly impractical designs like these to work?
Well, for fantasy swords, if the problem is weight/size it can be accounted for to some extent(though it still wouldn't moved as efficient as a smaller blade since the area is covers in the air makes it slower due to physics).
On the other hand, if the problem is the one seen in the sword from this picture, then no, magic won't make it viable either.
I mean, I guess it could be usable if the sword shot flames or other magic, but at that point, you might as well make it a wand.
What about a healing effect? Doesn't seem like it'll do much good if the sword is so unwieldy you're realistically killed quickly or get the sword knocked out of your hands.
Physical spec reinforcement, perhaps? But to what degree?
Well, even physical reinforcement effects fro the user wouldn't matter much since the issue partly lies with the structure of a humanoid arm/hand. In such a manner, it is almost guaranteed for the weapon to be knocked out of the user's hand, and it is also almost guaranteed for the wrist to be broken. For the wrist being broken thing, that's what would happen IRL, but even in fantasy setting it would still happen since it's not just endurance, but rather strength(of both the user and the enemy) that matters more. Even if the endurance is high enough, it would still be dislocated at the very least, and that would be fatal in mid-combat. The cause for that, in short, is due to both your own strength and momentum added to those of the enemy that all focus on the wrist, breaking it and throwing the weapon out of hand.
I would say because she isn't fighting?
she isn't taking a stance, she is just standing with her sword.
I agree that the 2 wings hinder her movements
the right hand is supposed to grap under the hilt, like she does. maybe the thumb is off, would be better to have it on the grip or blade.
the pommel doesn't look like it's "resting on her opposite joint", but more in face of her body, and look like it would be easy to grap with the left hand to take a battle stance
I don't think the hilt is that much wrong, it feel like a waisted grip (or a tapered grip? don't know)
*not the hilt, the 'grip' for the last line, my bad
way to copy raw japanese text from alphapolis on google chrome press f12 select sources select novel/(some number) scroll down to around like 110-120 look for this "div class="text " id="novelBoby"" copy all text until "user/login?url=(some number)" copy to something like wordpress new post html format and it will just show the text needed
maybe someone else has a better way or a clearer way this is what i found out in about 10 minutes never having used that site before
dont really care what u pick tbh regio sama, i just want to read ur translation tbh hahahahaha.. please take care of us in the future too :)
Raizu'spoilers are coming jejeje and we love it.
That's Spoiler-san task, not me. :x
Eh, Sayonara Ryussei was good? I remember going like 2-3 chapters in and I just couldn't take the horrible writing anymore...
Eh, are you sure you are talking the same novel?
Hmm...
Might be personal preference difference I guess....
A reincarnated dark god saving some heroes' asses? Sounds good! I'm hyped~
I hope this god is not like Makoto... I read all of your translated chapters because of Tomoe, Mio, and the other characters like Shiki and their interaction amongst themselves. Makoto is... not my favorite kind of character, honestly.
But the MC being a dark god gets my hopes up. More so if you say the interactions amongst characters' good! Hopefully, I'll be on a hell of a long ride again. Thanks Reigokai (〜￣▽￣)〜
"And whenever we read an Isekai story, Truck-sama runs over us and sends us to an Isekai. He is always by your side, waiting."
Oh my teats! I' m ALREADY DEAD! *Exploding fountain of blood*
Thanks 4 the new project.
