completed Noble Works Translation Project (COMPLETE Patch Released!)

[Jun Inoue]

They'll release at 23:59, ofc. Look among Santa's presents.

[TexasDice]

It's 24 desember already, so where it's the complete patch?

I'm waiting for the patch to come out:-)

I'm sure you'll get it in a minute.

Anything else you need? Coffee, cake, some cigarettes? I'm sure someone will massage your back if you ask nicely.

[NeroDragon12]

Lo0ks like I'm spending my Christmas with Hinata this year.

[12kami]

cant wait for this o.o

also,thx for the hard work

[Stormwolf]

It's out.

[Fiddle]

Pretend that Keisuke posted this:

 

The final patch is out, and you can find it here! Merry Christmas!

 
Perhaps the easiest way to purchase a copy of Noble☆Works is through Amazon. Note that Yuzusoft does not have a downloadable version of the game, and it officially ships only within Japan, so you will need to make use of a mail forwarding service or something of that nature, assuming you live outside Japan.

Thank you to Keisuke because I'm awesome (this portion written by Fiddle); lead translator/image editor Fiddle; our other translators Secchan (who is also responsible for kicking off the translation), KiritoCy, Dark Blank, Solo Spieler, and Exiled; last-ditch translator Ephemeralist, whose extensive knowledge solved numerous complicated situations; our editor Twoo; TiagOfVarela and Decay, whose beta testing efforts went above and beyond to eliminate many a typo and fix awkward or ambiguous phrasing; Eclipsed, who wrote a detailed walkthrough for Noble☆Works on Fuwanovel; and OriginalRun, for his various forms of moral support.

If you experience technical problems, you can ask in the comments section of the Downloads page or in this topic.

Thanks for all the hard work!

[Suzu Fanatic]

Besides the obvious (being able to read a new VN in english), I always enjoy seeing a collective effort bearing the fruits of its labor. Just goes to show anything really can be done if people stick together.

 

Thanks, and best wishes.

Yay, its here. Been looking forward to this one. Unfortunately I don't have much time to spare to read this for the next few days. But this is by far the best Christmas present I'll receive this year. Thanks for putting in the effort to translate and release this. Have a Merry Christmas

[Santiash123]

Thank you guys for the Christmas present, you guys are awesome !!

And thus shall the populace engage in the employment affiliated with individuals of superior social status.

Many thanks for all the work put into this! At last, a Yuzusoft game is fully TL'd.

Also really enjoyed the humour of the the TL group as the game was being worked on.

 

Now if only a Saga Planets game got TL'd... *cough*Hanasaki*cough*

[Kosakyun]

Finally, a new visual novel that'll show me how virgins write their romance stories.

Even better is that it was translated by another virgin.

Thanks for the hard work. <3

Ah, that reminds me.

I'd like to ask everyone playing this game to bear in mind that, as the original text was indeed presumably written by a virgin, some of the content certainly merits inquiry. Now, that involves not only an idealistic ignorance of the female reproductive system (oh how I would have liked to abandon faithfulness to translation in such areas), but something perhaps more important:

There are a few scenes, one in particular regarding Sena, which, in my judgment, could adequately be utilized in some sort of academic seminar meant to teach what is and is not rape, but more so the prior. I would hope that you recognize this particular scene—though there are others of lesser magnitude, prevalent in Akari's route—and remain conscious of the fact that one should not actually apply what occurs therein, for to do so would be both morally and legally (I hope) wrong. In short, take to heart such matters as the fact that there is no such thing as passive consent in sexual matters, you cannot blame your partner for arousing you supposedly beyond the point of self-control, just because you imagine that your partner is/will be enjoying the intercourse does not mean you are allowed to arbitrarily engage in it, etc.

I would hold off on this for a nukige, something in the nature of Euphoria or some shizzle, for it is obvious that the content of such games should not be replicated to whatever degree by which it is possible to do so. Noble☆Works, however, is obviously a lighthearted game, meaning that it may more effectively instill in the reader the notion that the sexual behavior that occurs is acceptable, because how could anything turn out bad in such a happy production?

tl;dr don't rape people.

[Stormwolf]

While i prefer no rape at all, i've seen enough females engage in non consensual sex with the protagonist in too many other novels, so i guess you can call this a nice change of pace.

[Jun Inoue]

Instructions unclear. Raped my right hand 4 times.

Also, Maya best grill, foolish Sena and Akari.

Wait, does this VN contain rape? Uhhh.. please tell me no.

Edit: I understand now, thank you Jun Inoue.

Read the whole explanation maybe.

[TexasDice]

 

  ...

The fact that you bother explaining something like this to an audience which should be 18 years old, and therefore adult enough to know that, is kind of faithless and cynical.

I love it. 

[MadValentine]

OMG thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh!!!

Love you guys <3

[kingdomcome]

I read it, thank you Inoue! Your brilliance truly shines and I understand the reason you're in class 2-S.

That's the thing. It contains not the sort of rape that one would search for when looking for fap material, but rather actions that attempt to assume the pretense of being consensual, which is the cause for concern. Perhaps instead of saying, "Don't rape people," I should have said, "Know what rape is."

Attend a fraternity party on a liberal arts campus. It will be an enlightening experience.

One thing that's bugging me - and I know it holds the story and premise together - is the mc's vicarious lifestyle while acting as a bodydouble. I mean, should he REALLY be making friends, etc - when he is technically representing SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE? lol...like I said, I completely get it's the point of the VN - but it still bugs me a bit, lol~

 

That aside, I've had some great laughs so far - which is rare from VNs for me (normally just don't find them funny, even if they are trying to be).
