    I hope that you all pick up this series again! And also take up his new work Overdone devil exterminator. I know they are being translated by a paid group, and I paid to be in the group. And i would pay for them to never translate anything again. I mean I am glad someone is doing it, but by them doing it no one else picks up the content. And the rate at which they turn out translations is abysmal.

    Will the you continue this project? Or will you pass it to someone else again?

    Because it seems that MasterPaster had abandoned the translationing after chapter 1 of volume 9. And judging by all things, he won’t continue with the rest of it along with the other volumes.

    Will you be able to find someone to take the job? Because everyone is eagerly awaiting the rest of it

    I understand the burnout on this series but, it’s over 2/3s of the way done.  With the new series you have picked up, this one will cycle less and give you breaks.  Unless another translator comes along to take it over (not that I trust them to do stuff as well as you).  I know you do this because you love it not because you get paid but, please hang in there!  Virtual hugs or handshake, whichever is preferred.  Though, I think you’ll prefer the PayPal donation, lol!

    Can you please put the translated chapters of volume 8 on baka-tsuki(https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Shinmai_Maou_no_Keiyakusha) so the website won’t start thinking it’s abandoned, and also can you translate the afterwords of volumes 4, 5, and 6 please? P.s. thank you for your hard work.

      I’ll be adding the completed chapters once the entire volume is done. The status on Baka-Tsuki doesn’t really mean anything to be honest, and it’s never really an accurate indicator anyway. Afterwords for previous volumes are not a priority for me at the moment, and will be done once all main content is complete.

I originally got to liking because of the anime, and when looking for the source material I found you. you hidden gem of a translator. of the three books you are translating (I think it’s 3) I have enjoyed them all and would not have been able to read them if you did not exist. thank you. I would donate you if i had a job (and the money that comes with t)

    Hi

    Well you read that dude from Germany hear me from Iran.

    I really suffered a lot onley to find this place.There were other sites to translate but it wasnt easy at all.Or it was under policies against Iran(which is irrelevent since its art not some computer program to forbid) or it had a price but since i dont have a foreign credit card couldnt buy it.Found one other like this site but exactly next day that i went to downlod it wasnt free any more.

    Thank you a lot for your fantastic job of transaltion and a few more thanks for your free servise

    Good day

    I’m from Germany and I’d like to say:
    Thank you
    Without your work, I wouldn’t be able to read the novel. So my first request is to you:  Please don’t stop translating.
    My second, please: Go ahead and don’t make me suffer.

    I know you’re still working on other novels, and it should be fun, but if I understand it correctly, you’re the only one who translates “Shinmai maou no keiyakusha” at the moment.

    Is there anything I can do to bribe you? With German Chocolate?

    I hope it goes on.
    Good luck with your studies

I know it takes time to translate so ill be okay waiting. I like others don’t want to see it dropped and hope to see it through to the end with your skills. And also thank you for the update of H.S DxD.

    Please, please, please, continue translating Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha. It’s my favorite light novel that has been adapted to an anime, however, no one has been updating it for the past few months. To add, the updates from translators have not been frequent. So please, if you can, please, please, continue translating Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha. Please.

     

    P.S Thanks for translating, High School DxD I’ve been reading High School DxD for uh…..Research. Yes, I’ve been reading High School DxD for research so thx for that. Keep up the good work.

    Hey Zxzxzx did you hear the news for about Vol 12 for Shinmai Maou will be the final novel released. Someone from a Facebook page I follow sometimes posteded the Update 3 days ago. Will you and J2270A@B-T be doing further volumes after 7 until 12 in bewteen breaks on Active work. hope you do finish this and all current series without dropping it. Translaters for Light novels is getting harder to find since that damn DMCA issues 1 1/2 – 2 yrs ago happened. Many just quit and series where abanded. Baka-tsuki forums lately have been come sort of a Ghost Town for unanswered and requested information.

    Hey zxzxzx thanks for translating DxD (one of my most favourite series) , shinmai maou and dragonar knight. I know you have lost interest in shinmai maou . and I understand why, but shamelessly I am  going to make a request . can you prioritize  v8 ch3 ( dissecting my nights with you) of shinmai maou over other shinmai maou chapters. It is an extremely important chapter (for me at least ) starring hasegawa as main heroine. Why? you want ask why I requested such a thing? you will understand when you read / translate it or you can check the wikia of shinmai for spoilers. A partially translated version is available on B-T and the other site of shinmai translation have put a sample out , which is quite more than on the one on B-T.

    It is but of course up to you if you want to translate.

    Can you please please please translate this instead of that crap DxD that is? No offense to anyone, but i am honestly tired of the whole fan service that has gone as long as for about 23 volumes now with a degenerate MC who chants non stop oppai this and oppai that with no action, at least this novel has that and the harem is way better.

    • zxzxzx says:

      I honestly don’t read DxD for the fanservice, as odd as that may seem. I read it because it has a depth and story that I enjoy.

      I understand your feelings zx about DxD . even I read it because of plot, it is funny and interesting, and not fan service. If anything fan service is just am extra topping. By the way , Ishaan shinmai has quite a lot of fanservice with a lot of groping and licking etc. I don’t understand how can you call DxD  crap and not shinmai (especially if you call it crap because of fan service).

        how you get to know about dxd novel? by anime. and admit it everyone who see and like the anime enjoy fanservices. those who not dont like anime wont jump to light novel. i admit that now it has deapth, funny but if you are hear and you enjoy fanservices in start. If you only want deapth then there are many more light novel which is bouht funny/non funny with the character development, and other things. but you chose this why???

      “The Harem is better” Holy Shit,  i cant believe those words coming out of your mouth. All of Issei’s girls have had character development way more than i ever expected to occur in a freakin ecchi series

      Heck,  even Issei is becoming more and more mature and alpha as the series goes on

      Need i to say the world building and the lore in dxd is a lot better than shinmai?

        Are there any differences between the japanese and chinese versions especially in case of the lewd scenes since chinese tend to censor stuff?

        • zxzxzx says:

          0

          Not really, the Chinese is actually more explicit I find. If the Chinese version was ‘official’, then it might be toned down a bit, but the current translation stays fairly close to the original aside from the honorifics.

            Oh so its the Chinese fan TL of Shinmai not the official one. No wonder. I thought it was kinda weird how a novel like Shinmai even managed to get an official chinese version.

            Is it the same with DxD as in the chinese version being the fan TL one and with the ecchi scenes being left as they are in the original JP version?

          • zxzxzx says:

            0

            I’ve compared both the official (Taiwanese publisher) and fan TLs of DxD, and they are much the same. Nothing is really censored or removed from the official version.

    Yo Zxzxzx are you still in the Progress of Translating  Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha. BT has deemed the Project as stalled since there has been no update on Baka-Tsukis page in 3 Months. Will you be updating your blog soon with finished Chapters from vol 7 and is there any word from J2270A on what Afterward pages he/she will be doing for witch volumes that are missing. Kind feel unfinished when the Afterwards Page is untranslated to concluded the volumes. Thanks and Have a Good Even.

      Still translating chapter 3 at the moment whenever I’m not translating DxD. I haven’t spoken to J2270A in a while so not sure how things are at the moment, but the afterwords are not really worth it at the moment given that the content of the volumes following them have already been completed.

    So will u translate the afterwords too, or are u gonna leave it like that??? I am just asking because u have translated most of the afterwords until now, and many volumes afterwords are not translated.
    And do u know if the rest afterword will be translated or not?

      I think I’ll skip the afterwords for now…I’d rather focus on catching up on the main content for this series. Afterwords are something I might go back to do later…though last I heard, J2270A was also thinking of doing some of the afterwords.

    Have you dropped this series?

    On B-T the person who has been working on vol 7 (J2270A) seems to have stopped after v7c1 and not picked it up for any further translations.

    It would be great if someone still worked on TL’ing this, because the way that nomi has been only doing select parts of volume 8-9 pisses me off.

    • zxzxzx says:

      Well, it all depends on time. I suspect that I will be busy finishing off v21 of DxD and v22 will also be out so I will not have much time remaining for SMnK.

    A few months back you gave me permission to distribute my PDFs of the DxD translation (I never did hear back from Code-Zero though) on my blog. It just so happens that this series is on my to-do list. I would like permission to distribute my PDFs of this series on my blog as well please.

    Do you know why BT isnt uploading completed translations of volume 3 and 4. If I recall they had those volumes majority translated an accessible directly on their site?

      The translators are not uploading the completed translations because they are not done yet. What’s available now should be the most recent.

      I don’t know of any summaries of the previous volumes but jopjopjop has made a summary of V20 that can be found on the AnimeSuki forums. The wiki also has a lot of info though.

      No, not now at least. It appears that there’s another translator working on it. If it’s still not done by the time I finish Chapter 2 or V4, I’ll speak to them about it.

        Well, 2 translators to be exact. Rozenbach seems to have registered for V3 epilogue a very very long time ago but doesn’t seem to have made progress on it yet. Rozenbach is one of the listed translators for DAL on BT

          I see, well by the time that I do try to contact them, it may be the end of the year or even the next year as I’ll be taking a break late October to mid November unless you’re interested in doing the rest of V3?

            I won’t have the time to translate soon,  so I’ll most likely be spending the next six months trying to finish V5. Even if I do manage to finish V5 while I am sure the free time I will get will be erratic, I’ll most likely go on to one of the side stories so that I don’t interrupt progress for the main volumes. So, good luck with the project, and all the best

    At last a better translator is translating this unlike the guy translating vol 3 which currently taking more than a year to finish and getting our hopes up! Kudos to this new translator and may you enjoy TL-ing this
