Another novel translated! (≧▽≦)/
This is actually the second 'short' novel I've worked on, and I really hope you've had as much fun reading it as I had translating it. The main theme of this story is comedy, so I hope it made you smile, laugh, or even roll your eyes at all the chaos the characters got into.
Now… is this novel really over? Maybe?? 🤔
I mean, the chapter "Who Else Could It Be?" was published on 2023-01-04, and then "Returning to Calm" came out more than a year later on 2024-05-29. Who knows if the author might surprise us with another chapter one day? But honestly… I feel like "Returning to Calm" gives a nice sense of closure. The story ends on a good note, so I'm happy to leave it here for now.
If you've enjoyed this translation, I'd be super grateful if you could leave a vote or a review! ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
Even though I'm not contracted with Webnovel, your reviews really do help boost my account's visibility. Webnovel officially promotes only contracted authors, so for non-contracted translators like me, there are only a few "free boosts" available—like New Release, Fresh Stories, Potential Starlet, and Ongoing Originals. Out of these, I've only received three free boosts so far, and "Ongoing Originals" was only for I Became a Fairy And Lived Forever in the Fairy World.
Let me explain a bit:
New Release: For recently uploaded stories.
Fresh Stories: Highlights new content that Webnovel thinks might attract readers.
Potential Starlet: Stories that show potential for popularity based on engagement.
Ongoing Originals: A boost for serialized stories that are already being published.
Since my translations fall under the non-contracted category, I rely on things like your reviews, stars, and follower count to reach more readers. Even just a review or a star rating can make a difference in helping my account grow and reach a wider audience.
This is why your reviews are so critical:
Visibility: The most important thing is getting a visible star rating next to the novel's title, like the one you see on I Became a Fairy And Lived Forever In The Fairy World. To unlock this visible rating, a novel needs 10 reviews. That star rating significantly increases the story's credibility and visibility to new readers.
Platform Promotion: A high-quality star rating and consistent votes signals to Webnovel that a story is popular, which helps it show up more frequently in reader recommendations and searches.
Followers: Following my profile by clicking the little "Love" or heart-shaped button is another massive help! When the follower count goes up, it boosts my account's overall visibility, making the platform more likely to recommend my work.
Every review, vote, and follow directly helps this story reach more readers and keeps me motivated to bring you the next chapter!
How to help:
✨ On Web:
Scroll to the top of the novel's main page and click the blue "Write a Review" button near the bottom, under "You May Also Like." A pop-up will appear where you can rate the writing, characters, and world.
📱 On the App:
Tap the "Rate This Book" section (just below Fandom Rankings). A star rating box will pop up—add your thoughts and hit submit!
Honestly, translating is a labor of love for me. I spend almost all my waking hours at my laptop working on these stories. While I'm not trying to pressure you at all, I would be lying if I didn't say that the lack of job opportunities right now makes every bit of support a huge deal. Just to give some context—since I started uploading my translations here, I've only received two donations and one subscriber on the lowest tier of my Patreon. That's it.
Even if you can't—or don't want to—donate, leaving a review, giving a star rating, or following my profile still helps immensely. These actions help my account reach more readers and make the translation visible to a wider audience. Honestly, every little bit counts. Receiving a donation, reading a review, or seeing a new subscriber truly brightens my day, provides tangible support for all the time I invest and motivates me to keep translating more stories for everyone.

As with all my work, this isn't a word-for-word translation. I try to go beyond just swapping languages and instead bring the heart of the story to life—expanding scenes when they need more weight, drawing out subtext, and making sure the tone comes through naturally. Over time, I've been refining my style bit by bit, learning how to make these chapters feel more like actual web novels in English, with smooth pacing, engaging dialogue, and no unnecessary stiffness. Don't worry though, my core translation principles will always stay the same. I just want each new project to feel sharper and more fun to read than the last.
If you've been with me for a while, you might've noticed subtle shifts in my style—this is all part of me growing as a translator. I really hope this novel felt as alive to you in English as it does in its original language.
