To this, I actually wish I would have seen the comment earlier.

In all honesty, you see it how I do. If the author is worth anything, they will understand if a work is not translated word for word for the sake of the story itself. If something can be made to sound better, then make it sound better. If something can't come over the language gap clearly, replace it with something from the intended language instead. If a word is being used too much, use your thesaurus and think of a different word and make it fit.

This is what I do with my work. I don't change the story to how I want it to be, I make it read as best as I can with every skill and experience I have so that those who read it can enjoy it to the best of their ability.

Even after almost a year of doing this, my main focus has yet to change. I am doing this solely for the community of Re:Monster, not myself, not for donations, not for attention, or anything else. I personally wanted to drop the project after 150, but because I gave my word i'd catch the story up, and that I would make sure to never forsake quality for anything. Even if the original wording of the author is lost, his story will be brought out to the utmost limit. That is the true purpose of an editor, to make sure the story shines brightly to answer the expectations of the writer.

This IS my path as an editor, and I won't change so long as there are those who truly appreciate my intentions and releases.

Before my 1 year anniversary, i'll catch this novel up to date.
