Visual Novel Translation Status (22/09/2024)

For the title, I decided to combined several words from the VN, with 'Sacrifical' from Nie no Machi (Translation Note: Nie mean sacrifice), 'Saint' from Sheol full title (Happy Saint Sheol), and 'Maiden' from Ever Maiden so we have 'Sacrifical Saint and the Queen of the Maidens' as the title, which is the parody of the anime Sacrifical Princess and the King of the Beasts with I changed 'King' into 'Queen'. Anyway, from what I can see this week is more interesting compared to the last week. Obviously there's still some usual updates, with the most notable one is in regard of Sakura no Uta which is always welcome. Aside of that, there's also some talk about the unfortunate situation surrounding Sheol release. Overall this week is an average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

Like I say beforehand we have Sheol released by Sekai in last Wednesday, although turned out there's some controversy. Namely turned out the developer decided to remove the some contents for overseas release, which obviously the fans will not going it slide. As for the reasons why, let's just say it started from the creepy fans who is too scared of playing the VN with disturbing contents find the courage to do criminal stuff by doxxed the location of the director's house, which lead the developer decided to just removed the contents for the sake of their safety. Fortunately, some fans started the effort to restore the removed contents, so good luck to them. For the premise, it's about the trainee who keep saw the nightmare where he always saw, and in his workplace he encounter the girl who looks similar to the angel in his dream. I saw one of the CG sample in VNDB, and let's just say it's quite disturbing all right, although it's still not justify the crime that the fans did to the director. Censorship and disturbing contents aside, I have no much to say other than feel free to try Sheol if you interested and didn't mind the censorship.

We also have Nie no Machi release, and the first things that I can say it's BL VN. The VN itself is about the MC Hisora who work on several part-time jobs as physical laborer. One day, he saw a man in morning outfit drop a bouquet with Hisora tried his best to return the bouquet. However, in the midst of his search Hisora was ended in the other world with one of the resident mention it as the world which distant from death, and it was shown with some man can still talk even without his head. Obviously with he stranded in the strange world, he'll do his best to return to his world. Well, at least it had Steam version, so you didn't need to buy console (Switch) if you want to play it. Go get the VN if you want to play it, and have fun.

Frontwing did announce their new VNs, and one of those is Kanade with them also planned to release it in English simultaneously. No much to known here other than it's yet another white haired girl heroine, it's written by Lilja writer (And thus euphoria writer as well), and it'll be released sometimes in 2025. Honestly I would like to see them experimenting with GL like what they did with Lilja, although it seems they decided to be focused on the single heroine which make sense seeing their Atri is quite successful so much it got anime adaptation. Nekonyan unfortunately need to delay their Sakura Celebration release, and the reasons is because they need to taking care of some leftover bugs together with the developer. In exchange though, we finally have the exact release date for Kakenuke with it will be released on October 18th later so feel free to note the date if you've been waiting for it.

For fan translation, we have Akagoei 3 is at 20.63% in QA, Majikoi A Plus Disk is at 15.6% translated along with 2.66% edited, Taima Seiko Alice is at 65% edited, and most importantly we have Sakura no Uta Fruhlingsbeginns chapter is now fully translated which bring the overall progress is at 12% translated with the editing work is just started (At 2% done as of now). Last but not the least, we have Shinzou announce their next project, Sousaku Kanojo. Admittedly it's not really surprising with they've been working on it in Spanish with it's been fully translated, but it's still nice to finally see they announce the English version of it, so good luck to them. From what I see, the artist is the one who work on Sharin and G-Senjou. For the premise, it's about the MC Toshiki who used to wrote the light novel suffer writers block with his childhood friend Aisha ghosting him. One day when he's on his first step to move on, suddenly he saw Aisha in front of him. For the progress, no much happen for the English version besides the assets work with it is 35% done. Oh yes, I should mention that Sousaku Kanojo English version is not Shinzou's secret project, because said project is the official translation.

That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
