Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival - Ch. 39

This chapter literally just released like a day before I uploaded my translation, lmao. So the next chapter definitely won't be this consistent. In any case, I'll probably also retranslate the previous 2 chapters that came out before mine, since they're not that great.

Emphasis on "probably" 😁 I suck at keeping promises sometimes.

Still! Thanks.

Aria is going to meet her family it seems.

Thanks for the translation.

Does anyone know what part of the LN this chapter is at?

 

[dudeamagiger]

So glad this is being translated again and better than before. It is a personal favorite of mine.

I believe this might be around volume 4 or 5. But it has been a few years since I last read the novel, so I might be wrong.

 

[Shmeep]

You're doing an awesome job on this series, thanks for picking it up!

Hot(?) take but that knife design sucks big time.

yeah, definitely falls under useless fantasy features
let's see if the author will try to use it as a sword catcher
but it's probably just for show

bro, just use the door normally if you are going to talk to an assassin

This chapter is right at the middle of volume 3. If you are planning to continue from there, the chapter to read is Volume 3, "A new job".

Our poor girl has visible eye bags every time we get a close-up of her face.

She is exhausted, oh no

 

[Grishnag]

This font is certainly a choice

 

[Phantaminium]

It's nice that her support system is stabilising, she might even be well adjusted in a few years.

Return of the BEST. I love how she comes in like “Check the bodies, I’m going to sleep.” like they even had to question after seeing her dragging the massive hunk of metal.

Cold as a stiff drink. It might come in handy dismantling specific monster bits and bones, but that's assuming you use this dagger instead of a proper dismantling set. The tip is going to snap right away with the things MC tries to cut, and the geometry is wrong for swordbreaker usage.

Yeah I don't think that font is a good idea. In this specific bubble it's not as bad, but on earlier pages you've got those weird parts where an L overlaps with the following letter, it really doesn't do the text's readability any favours.

I get the intent and I'm all for it, but there must be fonts that would get the vibe across and maintain readability.

The intent might have been to convey different tones, but it's used in completely different situations and I have no idea what they were meant to convey

The font just looks uselessly fancy. It doesn't convey bloodlust when Aria used it, nor whatever the scout was feeling while asking if the orcs were really gone on page 11. I was just confused when I saw it honestly. (I even wondered if it was seduction; it might just be the kind of pick-up lines that work on her.)

So definitely not a good idea with the fonts used; it just took me out of it.

As for readability, I didn't even notice the overlapping L; my brain just skipped over it. XD

Maybe use something like the "killer on repeat" font to express bloodlust (I just searched for blood dripping and this one seemed nice enough)?

But personally, I don't think any special fonts are really needed. Mostly, it takes away from how the scene is expressing itself by forcing an interpretation of the tone used. If no special font was used originally, then I don't think the translation should use it either. It was already using black bubbles in this case (which I assume was also in the original) so the change in tone is already conveyed.
