Let me preface this by saying, thank you for reading ACE. I'll be frank, I'm not doing this because of my passion for ACE or even webnovels in general, I was handed this book and I'd figured why not. It's a good way to earn some cash while studying. Sci-fi is not even my reading preference but I've grown to enjoy ACE. However, there are times that I've thought of dropping this because of the reader response. Yes, crazy fake science abound in ACE and I know this isn't a good defense but the author isn't a scientist and has stated beforehand that his focus isn't on the scientific accuracy but plot. The fact that my knowledge of science only reaches secondary level probably doesn't help either. I tried researching whenever possible and I apologize for all the mistakes that I've done cause god knows there are plenty of those. Maybe, as one reader pointed out, ACE does deserve a better translator. Regardless, I'm not one to abandon ship halfway. For better or for worse, I'll see ACE to its bitter end and if that offends anyone, I apologize for my inability to do ACE justice.

LIKENah i think you are perfectly fine with your translation. The thing i don't like in this novel is the chinese nationalism and the mc not taking the obviously better option even when it's right infront of his nose. Instead he always choose the option that leads to more drama for some reason... Yeah i know it's to push the story the way the author wants it to go, but it's done so forcefully it just feels annoying... It honestly feels like i'm watching a cheap hollywood action flick tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lonelytree... you're doing a great job! I love the story! You recommended me to read ACE, and at first I was dubious, but I liked the plot so much that I'm impatient waiting for more chapters! hahaha

Yeah, don't worry too much about what anonymous people on the internet think of you or your translation. If you like the novel and are doing your best to translate it, you're doing every one who get's to read that novel a service. Don't let whiners convince you otherwise.

Xamar:Thank you for the translation and you are doing a great job ! I hope you no longer think of dropping this great novel, because there will always be haters (troll), but i am sure there are much more lovers of this novel like me! :)
Mouhaha the plan to make you work till the end is successful ! Now I start the translator slave machine fast release plan !! Mouahahaha !! xD
Lonelytree:I'm already half-way there, dropping it now seems a bit dumb XD
Lol it's fine if you don't know science that well, a lot of people don't know much about it either. Don't let others put you down, it's amazing that you can translate this story and put it on the internet in the first place. Also, it isn't really you fault for the 'crazy fake science', you're more of a reporter than the scientist in the first place (wow that sounds really insulting) but yea! Keep up the good work!

Queue:There’s a genre for this, Science Fantasy. Covers a whole lot of ground. 😉. I haven’t started reading yet, because I’m reading so many already, but I just might. Good luck
