Oh dear, the assumptions return.

Well then, /me cracks knuckles and neck

Shall we begin dissecting your assumptions and assertions?

Rau, Rou, it honestly is the difference of your preference in the translation. I like Rau, others, Rou.

I don't honestly see the point in making an issue over a single letter, the main character is the main character. The only reason this is coming up is because the Main Character Rau only has three leters to his name.

I honestly don't see why it matters why or why not I choose to end my statements however I so please. There shouldn't be much of a problem if I add a little style to my step as I walk with my sheer awesomeness.

Jokes aside,

I enjoy doing such and there is no logical reason as to why I should not continue writing my comments as I see fit.

NEXT

My release dates are arbitrary and completely impossible to determine. I also seem to have a curse wherein I can never actually make a release date or the such. Something in my life will always get in my way and I'll have to make an apology and do it later. As such, I prefer to avoid answering such questions and hope that you will leave it at that.

NEXT

You know, I tend to be quite patient with these sort of things, but you seem to be unable to actually grasp the situation of your assertion here. You are making a major assertion that my work is in fact, a Parody of some other person's work. I am sure that you are fully aware of the way that a parody works.

No?

Then i'm just going to shatter your world with this.

If the author of the work in question, says that they are not using another novel as the base of their work, then that work they are creating, is not a parody.

It doesn't matter where the small details that are similar connect, the author is the one who says what. To clarify, in my situation, I find the fact that you are continuing to assert that my work is copying plot points and character ideas off of another work just because i'm translating it quite insulting.

You are subconciously refusing to break the ties between my translation of Re:Monster and my writing of Ant Tensei.

If I were to be translating any other game type novel and you were inserted into the same situation, you would be linking to other similarities within the novel and creating similar mental bridges to create evidence to back up your assertion. Neglecting the key point in which not only am I stating that Re:Monster is not even close to one of the inspiration points for my novel, but also that my novel is less than a dozen chapters wherein Re:Monster is translated to Day 121.

Just because you see similarities in the beginning of my work to the overarching plot rail of Re:Monster does not mean that my work is a Parody in any way, shape, or form.

When Ant Tensei breaks 100 Chapters, I am fully confident you will lose all supporting evidence to back your claims. Please avoid making connections where there are none.

Many authors would find your assertion to be quite insulting to their works, it is best to choose your words more wisely in the future.

Another major assumption has been made. Due to the fact that the following statement also connects to the previous, I shall deal with them both together.

I indeed have read Re:Monster to the current point twice. That much is certain.

The reason for doing such, however, is not for the fact of enjoyment.

The reason I read it not only once, but twice, was to understand the writer's diction.

If you are unaware of what diction is, it is a literary term that means author's word choice.

Why I chose to read it was so that my translations could be as accurate to the writer's intent as possible. This was for the sake of not only my quality, but also for the reading experience for the community. To understand the general flow of the story to avoid making major mistakes with translation interpretation is vital when you translate with a Machine Translator, regardless of how many high accuracy translation engines you are using to compare.

My reasoning for continuing working on Re:Monster are two fold, to that end, I will have you understand this well.

I, am here, to serve this community.

I am a man of my word.

When I say I am following a project to it's end, that is exactly what I will do. Re:Monster will either be finished by my hand, or it will be handed off to a competent translator/ team that will be able to maintain releases in the long term to reach up to date with the story.

That is the 'Last line of Defense' reasoning in case the community fails.

Now then,

My main reason that I will not ever drop this novel, is due to the sheer size of this community.

Hear me now when I say this, in the prime of my releases, there were between 40,000 and 48,000 individual visits daily on this wikia.

That is the sheer number of people that are here for my releases.

Even now, when i'm at my lowest point of release, there are still roughly 20,000 people coming here, each day, for the sake of reading this content.

There are hundreds of comments thanking me for taking my time to make these releases.

How on Earth would I not be trash if I were to just up and walk away when even one person is still asking me to make releases.

That is why i'm still here. What my thoughts are on the subject do not matter.

That there are people that desire this content and are asking me for it matters.

Let me tell you why the negativity bothers me, because you seem to have not understood my pervious explanations on the subject.

Hate directed at me has no effect.

I have lived through the deepest pits of hatred and dispair that you could possibly throw a person in, and I walked back out.

I am incapable of feeling rage in any way, shape, or form. The worst I can feel in that manner is a dull annoyance. For me to even shout is a once year rarity.

Now, the reason why the negativity bothers me, is because of how baseless it is.

The negativity was, for a lack of a better way of explaining a lack of logic, fighting over hate and who needs to be hated more.

A person shares their grievences for me to read.

Before I read the comment, several others read it.

They are worried that I will be upset, so they comment in my stead.

They unleash the greatest negative feelings they can because it is only human nature to express displeasure with hatred.

Without a visual reference point, the filters we develop in our mind are far less effective, and thus the words we use are far graver than anything we would be otherwise capable of saying in person.

Others will then either agree or disagree with the initial response.

Fighting over viewpoints on my account will thus begin.

My name will eventually be used as justification for their viewpoint.

The other side will thus attempt to swing their defence in such a way that they are not intending for any malcontent and will attempt to infer that they are representative of a majority or group of individuals with similar mind sets.

The moment the person who is the target of all sides makes a statement saying it goes too far, all sides will immediately start trying to placate the now affected target in a subconcious attempt to gain recognition or support for their side.

If the target is careful enough with their words, neither side will gain any ground and the fight will lose it's spark and vanish.

I find fighting with typed words to be both extremely pointless, and bothersome.

It is not the words that bother me, it is the fact that others are actually hurt by negative words written on the screen in front of them.

My mind becomes bothered by such pointlessness and loses interest in working on the project related to such a community. The only ability I retain to interact with such a community is to inform them of my displeasure and that reforms are necessary to maintain my interest.

This was a point specifically made very early on during my first weeks in January when I began with Re:Monster.

While this community lasted longer than most, in the end it still fell into the stereotypical routine that tends to appear in a stagnation period of a community.

Well, feel free to continue this chat as you so wish, I shall continue to counter any assertions you desire to make. So in the future, please think your words and wording out a little more thoroughly. Making assertions about another individual will often create offense, though no offense was specifically taken during this occurrence~
