Youjo obviously, but unfortunately sky only hosts Youjo they don't TL it, the original guy who translated overlord is casually TL'ing it.

Youjo is a monstrosity to TL too from what I hear, with a single novel that is the size of 3 regular volumes.

because jews hate you for being a goy. they feel entitled to your money and buy licenses from desperate nips because they think they should get free sheckles for someone else's work. jews have been 'oppressed' for thousands of years a for a reason, you know?

This wasn't a thing until like the last 20 years or something.

They probably sell licenses to bigger companies like YP just for the sake of nipping fan translations when it's ripe cause of their jewish ways of exploiting their free advertisement. From the stand point of Kadokawa, you aren't losing out on much by throwing licenses away cheaply because overseas was never a market you could tap without a localizer anyway so they have to suck it up and let YP profit first in hopes of establishing a foothold internationally later.

I really don't get translators. Why do they insist on using US hosted sites for their stuff? This is going on for years. You think they'd have learned by now if they want to keep working on a project, host it in some 3rd world country.
>>
>>135719341
well shit

gifting gave some great laughs but looks like its time for farewells now
>>
>>135723704
because they are dumb as fuck

they could have afford a cheap chink server free from american hands, but noooooo they have to host their servers on a US server.
>>
>>135723599
A lot of web novel authors go to Overlap compared to Kadokawa.

However, Gate's publisher, AlphaPolis is a major faggot since they force web novel authors to basically delete their web novel once they go legit.

Kadokawa lets web novels stay up so far and so does Overlap but AlphaPolis forces authors to remove their web novels or convert the page into just light novel teaser samples.
>>
>>135723786
Chinks aren't safe either. Chinks had to remove some of their stuff too.
>>
>>135723681
>>135723686

He would need to shell out more than it's worth, the value in it isn't the license itself, it's the precedence. With YP, Kadokawa remains in control and YP basically has to buy licenses to retain that discount and lick Kadokawa's boots.

So would Kadokawa be willing to work with someone in a superior position? That's the real question.

What's even more nigger is AlphaPolis's manga adaptations of their LN. They all look like they were drawn by the same author I swear.

>>135723704
Honestly this.

There's no fucking reason why fan translators shouldn't use the same method that youtube clone pirating sites use. Put up a dozen copies on a dozen sites and have each of those sites be deliberately uncooperative with attempts to remove content, but officially all you need to do is just report infringement.

Instead we got people translating out of their fucking blogs or on a goddamn wiki.

To remind you fags it doesn't matter if your shitty LN's get taken down.

At least read decent stuff LMS, Hakomari or The Twelve Kingdoms.

Who knew an obscure small publisher like AlphaPolis would be such major cunts?

They piss of the author's web novel fans by forcing the author to nuke the page and then hire sameface artists for all their manga adaptions.

That's a good point Jap stubbornness is pretty bad from kodakawa.Though it seems to me kodakawa isn't actually making much off yen press considering how bad their back log is. Honestly, though I'd be happy if amazon ended up with the LNs, at least they would be released on a competent time table.

Just because your side of the boat is dry doesn't mean the boat isn't sinking.

Japs don't give a shit about the west, they just want to end pirating in general.

I read all 3 of them, and they aren't. You're just narrow minded kinda like how shonenfags slurp up DBZ.

They've been after the scanlattors and fan subbers for years. The problem is going after the LN translators is pretty new, and LN translators haven't learned to keep their servers in 3rd world places no one gives a shit about.

I'm actually shocked it remained untouched this long.
Well, "it doesn't matter," right?

Hakomari is completed and fully translated though

It also doesn't matter because no one cares about it.

Option 1:
Host on Russian/Chink server

Option 2:
Host on your own server

Option 3:
Upload everything to madokami or IRC personally.

Options are nice, too bad translators are too retarded to figure that out.
>>
>>135724118
Yeah but what >>135724158 says combined with my point of a long-term strategy of gaining a foothold internationally is all it takes. They aren't in it for the short-term. It's the long term, 10-20+ years from now. Anime didn't blow up overseas overnight you know? Even Hong Kong, the king of bootleg, didn't just suddenly explode in anime when they started copying tapes and laserdisks.

The chink who dubs Char Aznable is so famous even Shūichi Ikeda chilled with him during a con and they practically sucked each others dicks praising each other. I don't think it's gotten to that point in the west yet.

NOEEEEEEEEE MUH MEGUMIN ;_;

>>135724495
On a US server for good measure.
>>
>>135724453
Long term? Their pace is fucking slow and they keep licensing more and more. VOlumes will be released again and again over time and new series will be out.
>>
>>135724063
Yes

>>135724227
Rather be narrow minded than just pretending to like trash.

>>135724258
It's completed and fully translated so yeah, don't matter.
>>
I don't even know how much profits nips can possibly make off Murican readers.

I mean, when I walk into book-off in Akihabara, I can buy second hand copies of LNs for all of 400 yen. They look as good as new, and none of that goes to the publishers.
>>
>>135724495
Someone already did that, I think

>Rather be narrow minded than just pretending to like trash.

There's no pretending here from anybody but you retard. You're the one who doesn't realize his taste is just as shit and acts like it's 3-star.

But I digress, admitting you are a certified handicap takes a lot of heart, especially when it involves your brain.
>>
>>135724692
Because it is. Having all your eggs in one basket is a terrible idea unless your server is in a country that gives zero shit about copyright claims.

So long as translators don't come to rely on it like they did BT I don't see a problem with another buffer.

Most translators don't even know about that. The site rips LNs from other popular sites and hosts it there.

What? Normal books are always like that, most LN are the one who have too simple narrations in most cases. They are not unnecessary either because it gives us characterizations for the characters, which is a pragmatic asshole as can be seen directly from the way he does monologue alone.

Once they prune LNs, they'll start with VNs.
And then finally, manga.
>>
>>135725779
I dunno. VNs, like any other vidya, can be easily pirated via torrents.
>>
THE END IS NIGH.

Seriously. My favorite LNs are getting taken down one after another. Total bullshit. Fuck Yen Press and fuck DMCA for no reason.
>>
>>135725779
Manga and LNs, sure.
VNs? The japs can barely scratch the VN pirate scene in their own country, how would the manage it here?
