In this chapter, we get to spend some time with Sylph and it ends in a cliff hanger, so fair warning. Thanks again to Nanaseru for his great (and fast!) work editing and checking my crappy translation.
VRMMO Chapter 33 can be found here.
As for my current status, I'm still sick here. It's been 3 months now. Fortunately, seems that I'm finally fighting off this thing. Apparently, it's a miracle of a turmeric/ginger drink my brother-in-law bought me as a gag gift (literally? The stuff tastes harsh). Well, whatever. I'm just happy that something finally is working. Though, I hear that there's more flu and such coming...
In any case, I guess I'm probably back on a normal release schedule of once every two weeks or so now. (Though since there wasn't a single donation all year my motivation has gone down quite a lot from when I picked up the series.)
Currently most of my free time is being spent on writing my own project. The story is based on a game I was working on, but probably will never happen. While it pains me to say it is an 'isekai' (transported to another world) story, that's probably how it's going to read like for the foreseeable future (likely years), so I'll just go with that for the genre description, for now. Saying anything more about that would be a further spoiler, so I won't. I've got the rough plot planned out for the next 20 volumes or so and 41 chapters of approximately 6000 words per chapter are already completed. On the world-building side, I've worked up character backgrounds for 200+ characters and numerous locations. So, the world is quite detailed. I'm debating whether or not to release chapters here before self-publishing. If anyone is interested in reading it here, let me know and I'll make a separate announcement post with more details.
Also, I'm debating about removing the ads from this site. The revenue is non-existent (~$5/yr). I guess it's possible the revenue situation might change if anything I'm translating or writing gets popular. VRMMO chapters are getting about 2000 views and Maria-sama chapters get like um...100, so yeah... Feel free to post your opinions and definitely let me know if the ads are causing anyone problems.
