Hinode Isuzu / 暘 弥涼

I consider myself a storyteller, but I'm listed on Google as a composer and earn my bacon as an illustrator.

Hinode Isuzu / 暘 弥涼

a year ago

For now, I've completed the provisional English translation of the first book in the 'Aeropolis Alusthogrun' series and have released it. I'll start working on the second book and beyond in due course (although they're not a high priority, so the work pace will be slower).


As all of the works in this series occasionally contain gore and graphic anti-social scenes, all of the novels will be rated 18+. However, I don't like sexually explicit content, so there will be almost no such elements in these works. Don't get your hopes up about that!!
【Guide to the series and difficulty of each work】
The reason I was able to complete the translation of the first book in the series, 'Truth and Method', so quickly is simply because the content and writing remain at an easy level.


The difficulty level of the writing in the first book in the series, 'Truth and Method', and the sixth, 'Jet-black Jig', is as different as that of the moon and a water flea (although this only applies to the original Japanese text).


But this also means that the process of translating into English will become more difficult! Ugh, it gives me a headache to think about the future!


I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but here is the order of difficulty of the original Japanese version of the series:
①「Truth and Method」
Newborn chick level.

The difficulty level is just right for precocious 12- to 14-year-olds to enjoy reading it.
②「Human Error」
Chick warrior level who has survived hell.

This is a readable read for teenagers who are used to crime dramas and splatter movies featuring maggot-infested corpses. The writing style is light, but the content is bloody and heavy.
③「Deep Throat//Slaughter」
Mature rooster level.

The theme is serial murder, so if you don't like that, you'll probably hate it. But the writing style is still light.

④「Water Under the Bridge」
Well-trained, strong rooster warrior level.

The first volume gives the impression of a love romance with hints of a love triangle beginning, but the second volume ruins everything. The writing style becomes a little stiff, and the story structure itself begins to become complicated.
⑤「Anthem For Lambs」
Fire-breathing dragon level.

Consists of 3 volumes. The number of characters gradually increases, eventually reaching nearly 100. In other words, the layers of complexity increase. With each volume, the writing style becomes increasingly stiff, and you enter a different world from before.
⑥「Jet-black Jig」
Akashic Records Space Cat Level.

Well, that's a joke, but the story takes a bird's-eye view of the entire series up to that point and then delves deeper into Arthur, the true protagonist of the series, so the difficulty level is much higher, and the writing is quite difficult to understand as it depicts the feelings of Arthur, an incomprehensible character. It also tests the reader's emotional strength.
In fact, I, the author, cried a lot and sometimes vomited while writing. And, I still do.
 
Information about the characters in the story, along with visuals, is summarised on ↓this page(But it's written in Japanese) .
