Update: Apology and Plans

Hello Everyone.

This past month had been absolutely my worst month I've had since I've opened this Patreon account.

I'm terribly sorry for what I've done. I've promised you the most number of releases ever, and I failed, miserably. I released the least number of chapters in any month since I started.

I know your trust is shaken, I can see it in how your support was cut by over a third, and to be honest, I can't blame you one bit.  The month was terrible... and I froze. I kept lying to myself thinking that I will make it, and kept promising you even with the last day drawing near.

I can try and make excuses all I want. Sick on this day, lost chapters on another, and while it's all true, I know what truly happened: Burnout! I've fatigued myself with other work for so long, but none of that is your fault! It's all mine. You've all been supportive and kind for some long; I was the one to make a promise, and fail! 

I couldn't sleep (43 hours straight right now, and this happened often this month), and I couldn't work. I try to translate, and I just translate slower than I did with my first chapter.

I discussed this with the man I trust the most, my father, and he told me that I should never make promises that I don't know for sure I could keep. Pretty obvious I guess, but I truly believed I could pull it off.

Again, I know your trust is shaken by now, but I'm deciding to not listen to my old man one more time. I've promised you 30 chapters last month, I still have 25 due. I have 15 more for this month, so yes, this month I'm releasing 40 chapter.

To pull this off, I'm actually extending my vacation from my day job by one extra month. I know this will hurt me financially, but that's the price I must pay.

To make sure I cannot afford to fail, I'm making the stakes really high:

If I don't pull this off this time around, I'll REFUND every one of you for September by the end of the month!

On top of that, I'm no longer gathering chapters for mass releases. By the end of each day, I'll be uploading what I translated. Tonight I have three chaps. Two planned for tomorrow.

Again, I'm really sorry, and I know I say it every time, but I truly mean it: I love you everyone: thank you so much for your support!

Celebrating! Read all chapters at 50%!!!

 Hello everyone!

Join us as we celebrate the passing of two years since the inception of TranslatinOtaku! It’s been such a wild and exhilarating ride for every member of our team, and you’ve been by our side every step of the way! 

To celebrate your support, we’re celebrating with a massive special offer: For one time only, read everything we’ve translated for just half the usual pledge! That’s right; you can now get all the rewards for the highest tier of any of our Patreon accounts, for just 50% of its usual pledge amount! The offer lasts until the 31st of July at midnight pacific time. 

- To benefit from this offer, choose the new Thank you! (Special Offer!) tier.

- If you are already pledging less than the new tier’s pledge amount, you will only be charged for the difference between your current and new pledges.

- If you are already pledging an amount equal to or exceeding the new tier’s pledge amount, you have to switch to the new tier to enjoy its rewards. This does not apply to the Kage Tier.

- Fear not however; if you switch to this new tier while already pledging an amount equal to its pledge amount or exceeding it, you will not be charged at all, and you will get to read all the chapters!

- This tier will last until the 31st of July at midnight pacific time. After that, it will be deleted. To get rewards after that, simply pledge to whatever tier you want to join by then.

One Year Anniversary!!!

Hello everyone! i hope you're all doing great! 

Today marks our one year anniversary on this Patreon! Exactly one year ago, I started translating this novel. As time went on, your support has carried me through all sorts of difficulties. 

How you helped me get my life together goes beyond what I can express in  words. From the bottom of my heart; thank you!

Like I mentioned before: At least 5 Bonus Chapters this month! I hope you all enjoy them.

Again, thank you everyone! I love you all <3 Enjoy life, and keep on reading ^^

Thank You! It's my Birthday Today!

Hello everyone! How are you doing? I hope you're doing fantastic! 

So, March was extremely rough on me, mostly for health reasons. I've been so sick and tired, some chapters even took over 10 hours to translate. On top of that, members of my family got sick as well, and I just couldn't be timely on my releases. 

I know it sounds like I'm making excuses, but I'm not. It was a rough month, both financially and health-wise, but you stuck with me all the way through. For that I say, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you!

This month will be special! April 14th marks the day I started this account! On top of that, today is my birthday! (I know it sounds like it's April Fool, but it isn't XD). 

This month, the plan is make up for old debts, and celebrate one year passing since this journey started by going all out and delivering over 20 chapters! It's going to be hard, but with your support, I know I could make it happen!

Again, thank you so much for your support! I love you everyone <3 Enjoy life, and keep on reading ^^
