On that note, I've given it some thought and it's looking fairly certain that I'll be relaunching the site on my own. Probably on something much less fiddly. I've got all the files, it's just a matter of finding the time and a decent service.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Nothing exciting to share. But, it's been brought to my attention that the site url was recently compromised. I'm in contact with support to get some insight on what exactly happened. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

AT translations.
That being said, I'm about halfway through volume 3 as of writing this. I think I'll continue releasing by part to avoid lengthening this content drought.
Thanks for following along and supporting me over the years, I truly mean it.

This is just me expanding on a reply I left yesterday, so for those of you who didn't see it: my QDS translation is still in progress, and unless I announce that I'm stepping away, I intend to translate all the remaining novels. It'll likely take a long time, but my goals haven't

interest of mine since 2020. All that is to explain why I've been on an extended hiatus. I translate for passion, not for notoriety or for the sake of pumping out content, and a number of factors have been preventing me from feeling that spark that pushed me to finish my previous

@maractusstan @Vanitas_Caelum @PhonesVGC @J0ezah This project is still ongoing - I'm about halfway through the second part of volume 3. I know my progress is far from substantial but I promise you, I intend to see this through to the end. Unfortunately, my job and college workload have been taking up most of my free time.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Hello everyone, and happy belated new year!

Please note that the website will continue to be down for a little while. I'm making arrangements to rehost it. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

@krveale I'm good, I appreciate it though.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Locking the lemniscation blog on Tumblr (same username) until further notice... Back in 2020 I abandoned the blog in favor of a shift to Twitter, but in light of recent events (cough cough) I'm considering bringing it back. I'd like to make it more presentable first, though.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

For any other Hirano fans, is Hiranomoe dead? It's been a few months since the url has last turned up anything :(

The ideal:

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

I'm majoring in computer science, and honestly, I can't lie that part of my decision was based on hopefully getting to the point where I can romhack and translate some obscure games I love.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

@etadanae I autismed about it so hard through 2021 to now that I straight up summoned a sequel

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Can't think of anything better than waking up to the Radirgy 2 being announced..! That's a tentative title, right? I wonder where it places on the story's timeline.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Quick soapbox but Shinen no Matou is on my "I hope to translate this someday" list by virtue of being an AT material, but it ranks pretty low. It focuses on a set of original characters who aren't written or developed well, imo.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Just saying because I've seen some confusion lately regarding Avatar Tuner story materials beyond the games. If you encounter a plot point that wasn't covered in the games or TC22, it almost certainly is a QDSAT spoiler. I have yet to see anyone seriously discuss Shinen no Matou.

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

Also

- A's Test Server is a mobile spinoff of DDS1
- One Day, One Afternoon is the self-published QDSAT parallel to TC22 (if dramatically shorter)
- DOGDAYS is a short story Godai wrote that served as a sort of testing grounds for fleshing out Avatar Tuner's scenario

[Lemniscation @lemniscation]

By the way, a refresher:

- Quantum Devil Saga is a series of novels written by Godai, based on her original vision for the Avatar Tuner series
- Shinen no Matou is a non-canonical one-shot spinoff manga of Digital Devil Saga 1
- The rest of the DDSAT manga are gag comics
