I\u2019ve been quiet on this blog for a while, and by the end of this post you will understand why. (It\u2019s all good news, don\u2019t worry!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I Translated a Mushoku Tensei <\/em>Book!<\/h2>\n

So\u2026 After I left ANN<\/a>, I got into the manga and light novel translation sphere. Translation was always something I dabbled in, like when I worked on Mari Okada\u2019s autiobiography<\/a>, but now I have more time to dedicate to it. I like translation because I can do it on a flexible schedule while focusing more on my personal life\u2014plus, some of the jobs can be genuine passion projects.<\/p>\n

Mushoku Tensei <\/em>is one of my favourite light novels<\/a> ever, so you can imagine my delight when I got the opportunity to translate Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation \u2013 Recollections<\/em>. This is a short story collection originally written to supplement volumes 1-10 of the main series. Although it doesn\u2019t advance the main plot or anything, it\u2019s got some of the funniest scenes in the entire series, so I highly recommend it to any fan!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

I expect that this will be the only Mushoku Tensei <\/em>novel I translate. The main series is already completed in English, and although I did get an offer to translate a separate side novel, it did not fit with my schedule. I am just happy that I got to work on something related to one of my favourite series\u2014definitely something to tick off the bucket list!<\/p>\n

Judging For the JNC Original Light Novel Contest<\/h2>\n

A few months ago, J-Novel Club held its inaugural light novel contest. It got hundreds of submissions, and I was involved throughout the process as a guest judge. By now, the finalists are public<\/a>. I can\u2019t tell you yet which submissions I liked the most or who will win the overall contest, so I recommend you give the previews a read yourself. <\/p>\n

Being involved in this competition was a really interesting experience. I got the opportunity to read some incredible light novel-inspired works that I would never have encountered in the traditional sphere. But it does mean that my time for reading Japanese novels or watching anime has been very limited these past few months. My backlog is languishing! <\/p>\n

Anyway, I am excited for when the winners are announced at Anime Expo, and I hope you are too. I would have come to AX personally to participate in the JNC panel, but life circumstances prevented that, because you see\u2026<\/p>\n

I Am Having a Baby This August<\/h2>\n

Yeah, this is definitely the biggest thing happening in my life, haha. I\u2019m gonna be a parent! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019d told me even three years ago that this was where I would end up, I\u2019d have been incredulous. But after moving back to Australia<\/a>, I started feeling strongly that this was something I wanted to do. Being able to buy my own house was a big factor, and my family is there to support me as well, for which I am very grateful.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t necessarily come easy, though. Shortly after I moved back, I discovered that I had a cancer in my left ovary, which not only made it physically impossible to conceive but it would also have eventually threatened my life. Fortunately, the surgery went well, and I had a healthy pregnancy a few months later, but the whole experience was very humbling. Whether it\u2019s childbirth or even just plain old survival, life is never something to take for granted\u2026<\/p>\n

In any case, I\u2019m really hoping that this last stretch of my pregnancy remains uncomplicated, and I\u2019m looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life!<\/p>\n

A Quick Light Novel Recommendation to Finish Things Off<\/h2>\n

Although I haven\u2019t had that much time to read light novels lately, I want to cap off this post with a shoutout to a series I\u2019ve been getting into lately: Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Hanashi Media, a new publisher, put out an English version of this popular isekai series a few months ago. It really took me by surprise how fun <\/em>the translation was. Even if the plot wasn\u2019t 100% my kind of thing, especially as it goes on, every single joke landed. The dialogue is snappy, and I always enjoy an MC who takes absurd events in stride. I haven\u2019t been too impressed by the anime\u2019s second season, but I recommend the novel for anyone who loves a good comedy (isekai or otherwise).<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s all for now! I know that each of these things probably deserved their own post, but I hope you can forgive me for being busy \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Take care, everyone!<\/p>\n
