Hi, guys! April Fools finally ended!
I have restored the links and fixed the redirection, so the update posts will now redirect you to the correct translation, not the troll chapters.
The navigation links such as the ones in ToC and previous chapters have also been added~
So, tell me, how many of you figured out that I gave the real link at the end of the troll chapters?
The troll chapters won’t be deleted for amusement’s sake, so you can still access them! ^^ I will link them here if you are curious what kind of troll chapters are available:
- Different World Gender Change 35
- The Flower Selling Girl is A Replacement Bride 32
- But God Forced Me to Reincarnate Special April Fools
- Returning to the Other World with My Children, Also…?! 10
Click read more to read my thoughts on each of them!
Different World Gender Change 35
This is probably the best troll I can pull… At first I didn’t plan to have a troll release of this title, but since I managed to complete the translation of chapter 35, I decided I’d make a troll chapter, and it’s worth it! If you are curious on how I did the troll chapter… so basically I translated or made a bad Engrish out of the real translation I’ve made. I combined various ways, from changing some parts with pure Google Translate MTL, make it sound weaboo-ish, use bad English translator, Glitch text converter, Doge translator, lolcatz translator, and Shakespearean translator! All in all, you can even have fun trying to decode what the chapter is talking about from my troll chapter! However, I don’t think you can decode the one I used Doge Translator on…and I typically lost it reading the Doge lines.
…I am also concerned on how low the view of the actual chapter compared to the troll chapter. I feel bad, it’s not like I want to give you all fake hopes on updates by giving troll chapters without releasing the actual chapter, too. Perhaps most people read a few lines and closed it after realizing it’s April Fools chapter without knowing that the actual chapter is there on “Continuu” button? I was kinda worried D:
The funny thing is, I saw a novel aggregator site, taking the troll chapter into their site! Serves them right, though. I was tempted at the idea of using the same trick to make the content of their copied chapter into something ridiculous by pulling the same trick…
The Flower Selling Girl is A Replacement Bride 32
This also has the same issue like Different World Gender Change. The low views that the actual chapter has compared to the fake chapter… Ah, but well, if you want to know how did I do this one’s troll chapter… I just copied the romanization of the Japanese text (hiragana, katakana, kanji) into English alphabets. You can even try practicing your Japanese reading using this chapter!
But God Forced Me to Reincarnate Special April Fools
The first troll chapter I’ve created. I literally pulled another story, completely different than the intended chapter, and made it sound like the series is ending (or getting axed) ridiculously with this chapter. It seemed like I totally made a joke out of this series… really, with the troll chapter X”D
At the moment of writing, I didn’t think I could bully Lyra more than this, so I didn’t decide to end it at “fin” word, and proceeded to make the fake end as Lyra’s bad, very bad, nightmare.
Returning to the Other World with My Children, Also…?! 10
What would happen if you expect to read an original English story, only to find that you are redirected to a whole page of Japanese?
And no, I didn’t translate the whole thing to Japanese myself. Just… MTLed the whole chapter and made some lazy adjustments. Then, to make this troll chapter a whole mess and longer, I inserted some songs lyrics… you can even participate in guessing what songs were used X”D
And that’s about it.
It was my first time participating in April Fools on novel world~ It was fun! I hope you all didn’t get upset by the whole trolls… since I did provide the real chapter updates :”D
Note: Sorry for not having Marietta participate in this whole mess, but I’d feel bad if I didn’t give the actual chapter, as it was not yet completed ;w;/
Feel free to comment your thoughts on the whole April Fools trolls below!
I realized along the way that it was an April Fools chapter. Checked the comments and saw a real one was posted.
Maybe I should comment on the post myself so that people will notice it right away next time X”D
Well, I’ve only read Forced Reincarnation as yet since I want to save Returning with Children for later and the rest (minus DWDG because I got to ch18 and realized I had skipped most of the last several chapters) are in my queue, so Forced Reincarnation is the only april fools one I read, but I can definitely say I enjoyed it! Since it ended in a ‘it’s all a dream’ cliche that means it can be considered cannon right? Is it a recurring nightmare for Lyra? I hope it is. because fun. And gods are . . . notacurseword . . . dunces. That’ll do.
I am glad you enjoyed the April Fools chapter!
And yup, I want to make it the recurring nightmare Lyra’s had, but she couldn’t remember the details after she’s awake XD
Also, since it’s her dream, so that’s basically the god that she is imagining in her head, based on her one meeting with god!
Is the “real” god like that, too? Hmm, might be too early to find out~!
When you catch up with DWDG, maybe you can try comparing the troll chapter and the real chapter (or try to comprehend the real chapter based on the troll chapter I made!) XD
Yay, nightmares! I know I read this one first, but after reading Death Mage, all reincarnation gods just remind me of Rodcorte. The blind, idiot god at the center of all creation.
Might try digging into DWDG again in a month or so. Once I can forget how boring it was. Figure it might just take a while to get started.
Ahaha, let’s hope that the god in Lyra’s world is not that… idiot and thoughtless >< An idiot god might bring the world to ruin, after all! But Lyra did think of the god as someone… quite carefree and did anything as he see fits~
Ooh, true, DWDG is way too SoL (Slice of Life), but somehow I enjoyed it, so I translated it XD
