Welcome to Kiriko Translations! Just before you start reading, the following is a general spiel regarding my view on releases and translating. You don’t have to read it, but it’s here to give a disclaimer about my general translating philosophy and the fan translation scene.
I translate because I enjoy a series, and want to share my enjoyment with others. That is all. Therefore, when I stop enjoying a series, I will likely stop translating it because I’ve lost interest in it….and that is why I will say this now…
I do not mind answering questions that people might have regarding chapters. If you find a flaw in the translation, feel free to tell me and I will fix it. If you have a suggestion, I will consider it. HOWEVER, I do not enjoy it when people harass me because they want a chapter to be released faster. Please do not ask me why I’m not releasing a chapter yet. Harassment only makes me want to stop translating.
I understand how frustrating it can be to have to wait for the next chapter. But please, realize that you are not entitled to translations. I am not making money off of this, nor do I intend on doing so. Translators have their own lives, and that may interfere with releases. So I ask you, the readers, to respect this. Please respect ALL the translators working on the series (and any other series that you may be following for that matter). Each translator has their own way of doing things, and some translators may not be as skilled as others. But all of them are trying their best to deliver content to people who would otherwise be unable to read it on their own. Please try to understand that.
Well, I’ve made this long enough as it is. If you’ve gotten this far, thank you for reading my thoughts until the end. I don’t think there will be, but if anything I’ve said has offended you, I apologize. I’ve tried to word this as politely as possible. Once again, thank you for visiting my site, and have fun reading!
Sincerely,
Kiriko

Hey Kiriko. I have some advice for you.
If you haven’t already, make a private Facebook group, or permanent chat-room on a website and invite the other members of your translator team to it.
After that’s done, disable the comment section on this website. It’s nice to feel the appreciation for your hard work but in my experience individuals with a negative outlook speak the loudest. In the past I used to waste a lot of my precious time trying to persuade such people to a more congenial outlook; wasted time, because in the end everybody’s different. Some will understand, and others won’t.
Your time is valuable, and it’s a real shame to spend it replying to the same questions you’ve already answered, just coming from different mouths. Your time would be much better spent with family, reading, eating, or taking a dump. Trust me, comments just are not worth it (see the irony?).

Your wording [The translators of KnW have their own lives, and that may interfere with releases. So I ask you, the readers, to respect this. Please respect ALL the translators working on the series]
I want to help in making their lives easier by reducing any money concerns they (TLs, EDs) might have. Which are interfering in their power and time.
It is up to you HOW to distribute money FROM readers’ support TO (TLs and EDs).
I myself will would like to donate $US100 monthly to your site.
Might even make it $US300 monthly if this site is making at least 1 chapter of KnW every 3 days or so.
As long as nothing is going on in RL, I would like to donate to help TLs and EDs to have relaxed live, which would motivate them.

Thank you for your concern for the RL of the TLs and EDs. I personally don’t take donations, but NetBlazer, who generally heads the team, has set up his site to do so.
http://www.blazingtranslations.com/ <–Here is the link to his site.
Your support is greatly appreciated, but please do not feel obligated to have to donate. We will release KnW either way. That being said, it is up to you to decide on how to spend your own money, so feel free to do what you will.

Thank you for your offer, it’s nice to see someone being so supportive! Currently, we are only recruiting translators, as we recently recruited a number of editors to help with our (former) bottleneck in release speed. As things are now, we have a plethora of editors and a lack of translators in comparison, especially with the recent retirements of members. However, I’m sure that in the future, there may come a time when we need to recruit again, so please feel free to apply to become an editor, or perhaps a proofreader, then.

For now, I’m gone from the LN scene. I don’t really have the time to be doing multiple projects at the moment. That said, if I find something that interests me, then I might pick it up, though releases would be fairly infrequent.
