If I dare translate long chapters they'll have to be split into two or more parts, so I'd rather not.... |

| − | Hey, did you think I was going to quit? No way! If Kino no Tabi were a drug, I'd be in rehab right now. What I fear right now are the withdrawal symptoms of having less Kino no Tabi each week. So to compensate, I'll probably do some less tedious stuff, like adding pictures to the chapters.... or brushing up my Japanese.... After having some of my translation mistakes pointed out, I tried rereading some of my previous translations and found them... less than satisfactory. I guess that's expected when a casual learner tries to translate.... T_T |

At the rate I'm going now, I probably won't pass it unless I give up my Kino no Tabi translation deadlines. I know it's not much. Because I have very little knowledge of Japanese, I wasn't really able to translate as fast (and as accurate) as I would have wished, so I at least tried to submit small updates regularly. I have been faithful to my deadlines except for 2 or 3 instances. I realized that the weekly deadline is tying me up so much that I couldn't concentrate on anything else... Even when I'm not translating, KnT occupies my thoughts the whole week... 0_0 |

| − | I apologize for my nearly two months of absence. My real life (read: work) issues this time were serious enough to make me freeze all of my translation activities (forgive me for Volumes XI and XIII T_T). I won't be back until the end of February, that is, until my second exam is over, hence I won't be able to make regular updates until then. However, I'll up translations of random, short chapters whenever I get enough breathing space (sorry that the translations will get scattered all over the place again), so see you around. :) |

Officially Retiring from the KnT Translation Project[edit]
Pardon the abrupt announcement. (Well it's the last! XD) Thought I'd clean things up a bit before I poof.
Things haven't been going smoothly for me these past few months both online and offline. Honestly, even though I love this series so much, being part of the project and the fandom has been quite stressful and emotionally draining for me. In the end I could barely keep up with my various translation duties and my other responsibilities. So I'll just up the last few chapters I've translated and quit entirely.
It's been exactly three years since I started, and I really, really, regret not catching up with all of the volumes. I do hope the project finds a new translator and live on (or better yet, the series gets license-rescued and be given a professional translation the second time around).
Thanks to everyone who treated me well here, and goodbye! ^_^ Ella.servantes (talk) 10:57, 5 April 2015 (CDT)
