A few big pieces of news since last time: 1. I moved away from git because it's a bit silly organizing things that way when I'm more or less the only one working on the project. 2. I passed JLPT N1! 3. The script is almost fully translated!!! This does NOT mean the patch is close to complete, just that none of the text in the main script is still in Japanese barring some lines in Keika route. There also hasn't been much of a serious pass at TLC, QC, or editing yet. I personally think that HMFan's work would take enough work to edit that I'd rather just retranslate it myself, and I may do that for Keika's route as well (though I haven't read the existing translation in full yet.) Part of this is personal/selfish, since translating this game has been a goal of mine since long before I began working on this project, for almost 10 years in fact, so I'd really like to end up with a product I'm satisfied with. I plan to keep working on it in my spare time until I get to that point. Anyway, here is the drive link with my current progress, and with the patch included. I also included a README in the folder with more information on my current plans and progress. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1dQcuQYHebWpZEt_zY8chXpiEhlYz8W-N I'd also like to say that I would GREATLY appreciate help with TLC and editing help from people who know enough Japanese to read the game confidently, since it's extremely difficult to critique my own translation. If you don't know Japanese, feedback and critique regarding my English writing style is also very appreciated. Thank you and enjoy!

Sorry for the delays, I've been busy with real life stuff. However, the party scene is now complete! Patch can be downloaded in the discord: https://discord.gg/kXRsFgAb

Maiya ending finally done! Hope you all enjoy. It's taken a while but I think it came out well. I'll probably do another pass though, just in case. I'm planning on translating the party next as a matter of fact, hope you enjoy it.

Finished 090.s. One of my favorites in the game, honestly. Only a little more left. I think I should be able to finish Maiya route before July, after which I might slow down a bit. I plan on doing the party/harem route next, and then I'll take a look at Keika's route.

I thought I set it to be permanent. Maybe HypnoConductor can make one, since they're the server owner?

Does this one work? https://discord.gg/c5Fd6zse

Sorry, I haven't been seeing notifications for Fuwanovel lately for some reason. The development is currently happening on the "maiya" branch of my fork. I don't think there's been a merge in a while so that would be why you don't see anything upstream. https://gitgud.io/WJHB/saimin-yuugi-translation/-/tree/maiya?ref_type=heads I haven't been making patch files every update because 1. I didn't really feel like it 2. It's not unheard of for me to go back to old scripts and adjust my translation. I was going to make one once the first pass of Maiya's route was done because that seemed like a good milestone, but it's taken a while (at my current pace, I'll finish it sometime in late May-mid June.) In the meantime, HypnoConductor made a patch which was posted in the discord: https://discord.gg/mXCz9hGk That one doesn't have my latest update, though. Still, if you want to check out what I have so far, it works.

Finished 080.s! This one was one of the longest scripts in Maiya's route, and I enjoyed writing the characterization for Yanagi. There's one more relatively large one, and then a couple small ending scenes, and then the first pass of her route is complete.

070.s done and pushed. Pretty happy with this one, let me know if there's any issues.

060 done and pushed. Might revisit the section about proverbs, that stuff is pretty impossible to translate.

After being visited by the crash glitch from hell and taking a bit of a break for the holidays, 050.s is finally done and pushed. Unaware never gets old to me when done well.

The command I use is earlier in the thread, but I'll post it again: arc_conv.exe --pack qlie [path to patch files] [path to saimin yuugi game folder]/GameData/data9.pack You can get arc_conv here, but it probably will flag your antivirus. You need to whitelist it. https://github.com/amayra/arc_conv

05mai_040.s done and pushed! Sorry for the delay; I didn't have as much free time this past semester. I should be able to get some good work done over winter break, though. Anyway, there's the first Maiya H-scene. I felt like a lot of the prose was pretty awkward, but that's also kind of inevitable with how the original was written I guess (and kind of inevitable for eroge H scene prose in general.) If you have any feedback, let me know!

You're welcome! It's pretty fun and is good Japanese practice.

Finished 05mai_030.s.
