Follow-Up Note.

Hey everyone,

Wow. I'm honestly floored by the outpouring of support from you all. I wasn't expecting this kind of response when I posted the note. Reading your comments has been a mix of humbling, hilarious, and just downright heartwarming.

I've seen some of you call this version 'the best NBA translation' and say that the premium one feels like a different story altogether. To hear that you think my translation has captured the soul of the novel better than the official one? That really hit me.

Let me be real for a second — when I started this, I never thought it would get this far. I wasn't trying to outdo anyone; I just loved the story and wanted to share it with others who would love it too. But seeing how much you guys value this version has made me think twice about stopping.

So, What's Next?

At this point, I'm not 100% sure if that premium version is official, but all signs point to it being the case. If it's confirmed that it's from the original author or licensed by them, I'll have to take this down out of respect.

But — and here's the important part — I haven't made that call yet.

Why? Because your comments made me realize that this translation means something to you all. You've stuck with it through 290+ chapters, and you've been a part of this journey as much as I have.

What I Need from You:

I want to keep things transparent. If you guys have any updates or info on whether that premium version is truly official, let me know.

In the meantime, I'll keep going.

No paywalls. No locks. Just the story as it was meant to be shared.

If it does turn out that I need to take this down, I'll find a way to keep you all updated (whether through another platform, as a few of you suggested).

A Huge Thanks:

I can't say it enough — thank you for all the love and support. You guys really turned what was a tough decision into something I'm excited about again.

We've come this far together. Let's see how far we can take it.

Much love,

Your Translator
