Holy shit, it's actually happening!
I guess that's it then, I'll get around uploading my backlog and then probably drop it
They’ve only updated to chapter 12, so it’s your call. Whatever you choose, thanks for all you’ve done 🫡

Although some of the translations / typesetting they went with are rather iffy at times (I've only read until ch. 2 for now and know that my opinion as a hobbyist translator shouldn't be put in high regard), but I still think it should be in "good" hands.
(I do despise that they removed Todo Daliah (that dissolving liquid guy)'s dialect, made his character sound kinda off imo.)

I've pretty much accomplished my goal of spreading the gospel and was already preparing to drop it when the time comes.
I'll try to finish ch. 16 in the coming weeks and add an appendix explaining what my plans going forward are.
(Chapters 15, 15.5 and 16.5 are pretty much finished, ch. 16 only partway.)

Still incredibly happy it now has an official translation!

ch3 pg15
I love it so far, funny

Edit: Alright, caught up, ch15.5, I like it, ch9 might've been my favourite, I thought it was gonna pull a goat comes back in the nick of time and says something typical like "missed me", but I do really like the host/spirit dynamic, along with their convos, and can be expanded later (something simple like goat becoming more powerful, or manipulative, given he's a demon maybe more manipulative as his power grows or something, ego), I do really like how there's limits to powers, goat isn't as strong to bunch through steel, the songs don't work if they're not heard, the smoker guy doesn't have incredible lung capacity, he needs a break, stuff like that, weaknesses being so apparent aren't common in stories like this, and given the shards give power (not a spoiler, it's ch1), it's intriguing to think what comes next

There's a few kind of "set up" story points which allow it constantly flow, goat can make conversation, school setting lets the class introduce any concept, an emergency can appear anytime, or all three of things could happen like in ch1
Also minor things like character backgrounds for their powers, and other organisations

The arts really good too
(Also how power is kind of "discovered"/improved with experience, ch9 shows goat can become smaller, which would've helped in ch3, and in ch12 she discovers she can jump over/on to buildings, which I find really cool, spiderman was an interesting character because he made use of his environment, using buildings for his webs, he wouldn't do well in a grassy field, so her being able to jump building to building could be really cool, like maybe parkouring and scaling an elevator shaft, or jumping from wall a to b to c, all being vertical, but maintaining momentum, could also have him suspend walls for her to jump off, there's a lot you can do with a character that's reliant on the environment)
(Given she's so fast, she's also somewhat immune to things that are really hot or cold, as her body isn't exposed long enough for temperature to transfer, you see those videos of guys slapping lava, or pouring liquid nitrogen onto their bare hand (similar to swiping your hand over a candle flame, if you're quick enough, nothing happens, though, hair might singe)(Metal or plastic in the sun, both are hot, the metal one burns you quicker, but if you stay on the plastic long enough it'll burn you the just the same, because metal is more conductive, "transfers quicker"))
