A note: translating a light novel is a collaborative effort. Much credit goes to the rewriters and editors at Seven Seas.
I’m proud to translate a popular light novel series,
Loner Life in Another World
by Shoji Goji. It’s a highly controversial series, beloved for its, er,
unique
play on fantasy tropes as well as its manic, bizarre, and mind-boggling style of humor. And it’s despised for, er,
these exact same characteristics.
One
really really
important thing that I want all fans and readers should know about this series: it’s difficult to translate.
A notable description of reading this novel in Japanese was something like (shout-out to manga translator Steiner): “squeezing a lemon directly on to your brain.”
Just how difficult? To get a baseline, first we need to understand what it takes to translate ‘standard’ Japanese fiction. And I put standard in quotes because there is no standard. But let’s say you’re reading a book that is just plain easy to read. It has clear language, concise prose, and you always know exactly what’s going on. Here are the basics of what it takes to tr

Loner Life in Another World
(hereafter
Loner Life
) is a series I’m coming to with some prior knowledge. During my time as an in-house editor, I had the role of proofreading a volume, something that quickly became a gargantuan task as this is a
very
wordy series with lots of twists of language. That said, I never read the series: instead, I know of it through online popularity and its…infamy.
I’m going to say it upfront: it’s impossible for me to view this as a complete newcomer. I know where the series goes, and I’m going to touch on that, even though this premiere is pretty tame as far as “Short-haired Japanese teenage boys in Another World” plots go. And while I’m not going to spoil things, I am going to hint at some things to keep in mind going ahead.
That said, let’s get into the first premiere I’m writing for Fall 2024!
