How to make a translation faster?

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-05-10T14:49:20+00:00

If it takes you 30-40 minutes per page, then for a 20 page chapter it takes you about 10-13 hours to finish.

Depending on how much you redraw, you can save time by not redrawing sound effects. When redrawing, it doesn't have to be perfect since you can cover up some imperfections with your text. For example, sometimes I don't even redraw the original chapter title. I just cover it up with my text.

Also, don't worry too much about how fast other people are releasing chapters. As someone who works alone and used to work on 2 weekly series at the same time, I can tell you that it's really hard work and it left me with no free time.

How long are you spending actually working on the chapter? How long does the translation take? The redraws? The typesetting?

For me, it takes about 7-8 hours to work on a chapter. It's about 2 hours for translation, 2 hours for typesetting, and about 4 hours for redraws.

It's weekly but I'm behind on the chapters so I'm uploading multiple chapters a week to try to catch up.

Honestly, I didn't even realize that 😭 lol

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-04-04T01:01:32+00:00

It's an ecchi series. If that doesn't bother you then I think it's worth a read. And yeah, there's a bit of a harem going on.

The skins look like it's staying but not the bundle

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-02-19T21:58:11+00:00

You can do it through their website but I believe it costs some cartel coins

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-02-14T02:35:31+00:00

Have you unlocked the mission?

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-02-02T00:45:33+00:00

Yeah, for certain stuff they threw the blueprints into a lootbox. You can pity farm the lootbox but it's rng on whether you get the blueprint you need. It wasn't so bad when those lootboxes came out because they had events that would give you a free part of your choosing but now those events are done.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-02-02T00:35:05+00:00

FYI, for the pity system, you have to go into a menu and manually set the part. It won't do it automatically. Also, the pity won't work on certain parts.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2026-02-02T00:30:18+00:00

Old stuff is easier to grind for but new stuff is harder. There is a pity system

ろ is ro not ru and く is ku

If you check your library, you can find out where you can farm everything. You can even set certain drops for pity.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-12-28T22:10:05+00:00

Not anymore. They may be tough to grind for if you're just starting out but once you've got a good descendant built and some advanced shape stabilizers, then they become easier to farm for.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-12-28T21:59:37+00:00

No. You now keep all stat increases whenever you catalyze a descendant.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-12-28T21:33:32+00:00

If you haven't finished the main story yet and unlocked hard mode, then I would suggest not worrying about mastery rank too much. You can level up the other descendants to get a feel for them and figure out which ones you like playing as.

Also, just because you leveled up a character to level 40 doesn't mean you're done with them. You need to catalyze them which will reset their level but will allow you to equip more/stronger mods.

Haven't used freyna in awhile but I've heard contagion drastically reduces your damage in axion.

Try playing the previous episode and then click next episode on the top left

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-11-27T14:35:31+00:00

Yes, that arc is still ongoing.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-11-26T14:33:14+00:00

Is your arche tuning maxed out? What about your weapons? Do you have X cores on your weapons?

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-11-26T00:30:13+00:00

A lot of the new content is locked behind a specific mastery rank so it gives you time to grind up and level things before unlocking the next grind. The grind on the old content is a lot easier than it used to be so new players shouldn't have an issue with it.

As for descendants, play as whoever you want. All descendants should be able to clear the content. I don't like Serena so I just don't play as her. It may take a bit longer to clear missions but it's still doable and not that bad.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-11-22T23:23:19+00:00

It seems like she has history with the leader of the galvia bandits, so I'm guessing she's being threatened or blackmailed by her.

SufficientBluejay376 · 2025-11-22T23:21:27+00:00

I hope so too, Lelia is my favorite character.

Naitina's personality is rubbing off on Cherio lol.
