Ave Lilium Translations

Hey everyone.

I know I’ve been absent for about half a year now, and to cut to the chase, I did abandon ShuuKura and Ubaware as I was no longer enjoying them considering how much time it took up to translate a single chapter. Apparently, it’s a lot of work and admittedly, I didn’t know what I was signing up for at first.

Seeing your guys’ messages and comments over the last half year has been very touching. I was happy that there were people still reading ShuuKura and Ubaware and that plenty of new readers had been introduced to the series. Ubaware in particular brought an uptick in viewership since the manga adaptation for it came first during the spring.

Now, it’s ShuuKura’s turn. I am aware that the manga adaptation had just come out recently, and this has brought a large influx of new readers to this site. At first, I turned a blind eye to this, but after receiving a handful of messages, I’ve decided to break the silence.

I’m not particularly into chasing clout, nor am I after any monetary gain. I just translate for fun, and I’ve always found it fun. I am sure if I paced myself better, I can find joy in it without burning out or running out of steam as easily.

That all being said, I don’t know about the state of the translations for ShuuKura and Ubaware. I’m making this post to see how many people are still interested in reading my translations. If a better, non-MTL version exists out there, I am happy to back off and not re-insert myself into the scene.

Please let me hear your opinions in the comment section below.

Thanks!
