Authors Note + Translator Note (2/2)
It has taken us roughly 3.5 years of time to finish translating this novel. I agreed with what the author has said, some plots in this novel felt a little too soft and immature, without the explosive endings which could have maximized the potential. But hey, even so, he did his best and I believed that he did grow as an author.
I started this novel alone and I was lucky enough to have much help coming my way.
Translators: Rila, xMyuux, Piangster, Choobcat, Justin, Chloe, Dragoninwhite, Aaron, Demi, Amy, Perseus, Seven7, Shane, Turtleruler, Yota, Zombiegirl. These are people who have helped me at some point in time during the 3.5 years we took to finish translating this novel.
Also, things wouldn’t have been possible without our editors and proofreaders. Although some of the editors are new, they did their best and there was a point in time where we had to re-edit a large portion of our old chapters for a smoother reading experience for the readers and this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of these people. The editors are: Rubble, Sherardia, Tomeking, Cryotic, Edwin, Nora, Maddhattress, Noripixel, Thready. And our resident proofreader: Calofel.
Firstly, I would like to thank all the readers, just the simple act of reading our translation of this novel generated views which kept us going. When we started, many of us were still in school, there were some who was at work and wanted to make some extra money to help with their family expenses as well. Also, special thanks to the readers who supported the project even further by becoming either a VIP now or supported through patreon or paypal in the past! Those were the additional motivation that kept us persisting.
There were quite a few times where we held contests and I like to thank everyone who participated in them. Some won cash prizes, some won access to advanced chapters and for those who didn't win anything, don't worry we will be planning more of such contests for the new novel.
Lastly, the thing everyone has been waiting for. As promised, the pictures of the characters would be shared at the end of the novel.
Do note that these pictures are not official art endorsed by the author, there were found from obscure chinese novel forums. Not all characters are shown.
Fanart:
I’m currently looking for my next novel, and I think I’m going to pick a Xuanhuan (Eastern Fantasy) once again. Hope to see the familiar faces in the comment boxes again in the future! The AST Team truly thanks everyone for their support!
THE END.
