I haven't been active on this wiki for years- it's a minor hobby of mine that I'm trying to balance with school and a serious illness.

Frankly, I don't want to bite the hand that feeds because this is the best we have. Fan translations are the best we have. Here's the thing: I'm fluent in Japanese and English, but I hate, hate translating. It is extremely hard. It requires someone to be a good writer and be able to capture nuances well. I cannot do it. I can summarize paragraphs, say what happened, but if you guys want exact quotes that don't sound robotic, I can't do it. I am not skilled enough in either language to write something that sounds good, is accurate enough to suit you, and doesn't sound weird.

I can do info dumps for this novel if we need them. I'm considering getting it. I have an old and terrible translation of Praefacio lying around somewhere on my old computer and still own the book. I have SCaP as well.

I'm busy and don't like translating, but I'm willing to do my best for us.

In terms of article length, I'd appreciate a tab system that includes summary and full explanation, like an anon mentioned a bit ago.
