thank you for your work translating the cybersix comics!
i just finished the first ten chapters of the french volume 3 collection that you translated. i can't find the last six chapters though. did you wind up finishing the translations for volume 3? either way, thanks again!
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Unfortunately I didn't finish the translation, for a few reasons... I do have another chapter or two translated, but I never got around to formatting and posting them because, tbh, translation can be pretty fun but page formatting is t e d i o u s
My main issue though is that when I started this, I posted it all on a tumblr sideblog. That meant I had actual engagement from people reading it! It was fun! There would be at least a couple people who would come chat every time I updated and I could see from the notes that people were reading and enjoying it! Most people can't read the comics unless they speak Spanish or French or something so I was translating SPECIFICALLY because I wanted to talk to people about the comics!
Then the porn ban happened. I didn't want to risk my other blogs getting killed, so I had to take down all the pages I'd originally posted there (because holy crow the smut is real). I know nekosammsi has preserved them but I just.... couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to keep going after that. I couldn't find another good host website, and it was no fun posting directly into a google drive because... no engagement and it all just became too much work for one person.
I honestly would love to do translation again because it brought me so much joy back when I was doing it, but between the No Where Good To Host and Page Formatting Is A Chore Not A Fun Hobby I just... haven't :( sorry
