Afterword (END)

This is the afterword, I'm breaking down reading it...

Hello, it's Toika, swooshing around as always.

Everyone Else is a Returnee, actually came to an end. Actually I already wrote the

ending waay back, so I felt all the emotions at that time, but adding

the side stories recently made my heart feel weird all over again.

This

piece started on the 26th of June 2016. Wow, it's been 9 months

already.

All pieces that were with me until now were already quite special, but

this piece was even more so. The fact that I can laugh with you readers

while writing something that I want to write – I realized once again how

happy such a thing is.

I wrote a few side stories since I felt

it's a pity to let IlHan and his family go with just the epilogue, but

now I did it, I feel even more pity. But I think I wrote everything that

needs to be written. Personally, I'm very satisfied with everything.

Did you have a joyful time with this writing as a reader? Of course,

there may be times where I have disappointed you. However, I do wish

that you are more happy than disappointed since you are reading this

afterword.

My

next writing contains more of my preferences and desires in a more

shameless way. I am aware that the likes and dislikes may drastically

differ, but I will introduce it again for those that ran all the way

here, in hopes that you will be able to enjoy it.

'I Shouldn't

Have Reincarnated' – It's a story about two selected heroes, where only

one of them was supposed to appear, and their adventures of somehow

ending up in the demon king's castle. Please go look it up right away if

you are curious.

And finally, I'll retreat by uploading the

fan-art I've received from the user "Warpic". It's a very very very very

very very very very very pretty picture! Mr. Warpic. Thank you

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

PS

– Personally, there was something that made me spit my drink out. If

you are an EER enthusiast, then you will probably notice so go look for

it!

Afterword from translator (this is gonna be long)

TL;DR – Chamber is retiring from translation

Okay,

before I start, I'll get a couple of things out of the way. First, the

picture. Yes. the text translation at the bottom right of the picture is

INDEED COMIC SANS. I don't know any other font that fits… I never

edited manga after all. Also, Erta's hair was described as 'long black'

somewhere early on in the story (I'm guessing the green winged

fairy-like girl is Erta cuz she looks obviously tsundere)

Secondly, there are three novels by Toika/Toy Car that have NOT been

translated. (There's actually another one but he dropped that one)

Here they are:

Devil King – written before the author wrote the dropped one. I

personally think this is meh, since MC has no personality. It's story

about two worlds that get connected to each other, and every human on

Earth has a counterpart 'being' (humans or monsters) in the other. One

day, the two worlds suddenly fuse and MC becomes a goblin.

I

shouldn't have reincarnated – written after he wrote EER. This is

actually pretty fun. I won't spoil, go ask NaughtyOtter/CalifornianOtter

from Otterspace/Wuxiaworld to translate it. He seems interested in this

one. Finished with 206 chapters. It's pretty fun though.

Only I can log in – I haven't read this novel yet since it does not serialize on Munpia but Kakaopage. It's currently ongoing.

Now onto my real afterword.

At

first, I didn't even know I would take this series, much less finish

it. At first, I just had some donation money lying around (from God of

Music I believe), and just clicked on the rank 1 novel on Munpia, which

was this. I immediately got hooked, and started translating because it

was fun to do as well. But then, Rainbowturtle told me that it was

already being translated at NovelsnChill (who seem to be inactive

nowadays). Bingryong (translator of the prologue) had already done the

prologue before I even started reading the novel! However, I only

discovered that when I translated around 12 chapters. So, I just

straight up gave them (NNC) my google drive and told them to do whatever

with it. Heck, then, JohnSmith (Admin at NNC) approached me and said

"Hey, don't you wanna do it? Come and do it here!" And that was the

start of me actually translating EER.

Various things happened mid

way throughout translation. First, my grades dropped (Urgh), translating

is so fun that I actually became loose with my studies… Second, I got

to know a bunch of people and their personalities (AKA admin at NNC and

admin at kobatochandaisuki, I'll keep quiet about their personalities

though). Third, Coder Lee YongHo got a takedown notice from the original

publisher (such a pity, I want to finish what I started). And fourth, I

ended up dropping God of Music. Personally, I really like God of Music,

as much as it is painful to translate, though, author's releases have

been becoming quite sporadic as of late. A few people have approached me

saying they want to translate God of Music, but I've yet to hear news

from them. I even gave them full permission to utilize my translations

and even get help from me if they wished to. But, oh well. At least I

got to focus on EER. God of Music will NOT be resumed (at least not by

me).

My

future plans? I actually have to serve the Korean military for nearly

two years mandatorily, and it's about time I do it. So, I will not take

up any translation work and apply for the military (Although, the

competition for the military is so fierce nowadays so I doubt I'd get in

soon). So yeah, I'm going to halt translating. I will hang out on the

novel community though, so if you want to see me, then come to

r/noveltranslations discord server or kobatoland discord server. I'll

also join a bunch of other servers as well like NUF, Wuxiaworld and

Volare.

After my military service… I probably still won't start

translating. I actually do need to study (Remember how my grades

dropped?), so tough luck.

It's been a blast reading through all of

your comments throughout this series and thanks to all the supporters

and readers that have supported me until now.

Ahh how could I

forget, give a big round of applause to Koukouseidesu, who has been with

me through the majority of this novel with editing. I didn't actually

pay him much too (kobatochandaisuki does not pay editors, so I pay

mine). He had a lot of schoolwork to do, but still stuck through with me

and the hard schedule of more than two chapters per day on some days,

until the very end of this novel. Thanks Koukouseidesu.

Alright, that's it from me. Perhaps Koukouseidesu wants his own afterword as well.

PS – there's no event or anything to commemorate the end of the novel.

P.P.S – if you want to donate, please do so here, since I will be closing the support button. shamelessly asking for money.

Oh yeah, remember how I mentioned about the 'generous people that still want to donate'? Too bad no one did, I guess.

(Koukouseidesu) here!~

Yea I wanted my own afterword too! :^)

I officially joined KCDS

and started proofreading for EER at chapter 83, heck that was a long

time ago, we've come really far since then! I was motivated to give back

to the novel community after having binge read thousands upon thousands

of chapters over the past few years.

Well, was it worth it? Of course it was! I had a blast getting to know

Chamber-nim (still remember making jokes about him being robot unni,

heh) and getting early access to all the chapters that I wanted to read,

browsing through them comments (constructive or appreciative, toxic or

not, it didn't matter! I had fun reading through most of them.) and

interacting with fans on the discord channel. It was tiring and

demanding at times, heck I made quite a lot of mistakes early on (still

do, but not as terrible and not as often!) so I'm really glad and

appreciate the fact that you guys stuck through with us this year or so

Similar

to Chamber, I'm going to have to go into the singapore army for a

period of two years sometime next year, so you guys won't be seeing me

post anything regularly for quite a while! I'll hang around on the

discord channels so feel free to come and chat with me and chamber~

Signing

off and behalf of everyone at KCDS, Thank you very much for your

support! please continue to browse the site (without ad blockers) and

read some of our other novels!

It was a pleasure proofreading for Everyone Else is A Returnee, though

you might have found the ending slightly anticlimactic, the afterstories

should make up for that.

Regards,

Koukouseidesu
