    Dear Readers,

    I’m here to inform the readers\community of NovelUpdates that I have parted ways with KCDS after some complications and have set up my own site. I will update you on a brief summary of what has happened: So after some contemplation this month, I thought it was best for me to venture out as an independent, and run a site to freely upload while also making announcements within it. Since I have been translating all the chapters with my Minions (Sai101 and BorderlineMasochist) working arduously, I did not feel there was a need to stay there any longer. With a dispute regarding Patreon as well as other factors, I’ve decided that it would be best for me to part ways with KCDS and further my career as a translator. Unfortunately, what I regret most is that I have involved some people into this matter due to the leak of confidentially, and will not be taking IatM with me to the new website despite the hit on my reputation.

    As for Green Skin and Dragon Poor, these novels will continue to be released on a regular pace. However, with the exemption of I am the Monarch on Elysiel dot com - for anyone who needs their daily dose of chapters. [Note: It is live for only a day now, so please inform me if there are any bugs or suggestions]. In addition, I deeply apologize for not being able to translate further on I am the Monarch as I did have an disagreement, but have concluded talks with KCDS taking down the chapters I've done there in exchange for me discontinuing the translation of IatM. I really do hope that the translation of IatM can be continued soon for the readers and the fans that have waited patiently. It is surely my greatest regret as the reason why I have wanted to pick this up was to complete the 100+ or so chapters remaining within a few months for the readers. Once more I apologize for the difficulties that have risen in affecting the readers here on Novel Updates. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Calvis
    Translator and Aspiring Owner of Elysiel

    Calvis, why did you empty the whole folders??

    Calvis - Today at 9:01 PM
    Oh hey. I was rehauling the google drive folders about two weeks ago

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:02 PM
    rehauling??

    Calvis - Today at 9:38 PM
    My bad class
    Yeah I was changing it for patreon
    Also I wanted to tell you that with the patreon matter and the recent (low) payout, I'm going to leave the group to further my career
    I've learned lots here and worked with some amazing people. Thank you

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:41 PM
    Hey Calvis
    shall we have a talk, please?

    Calvis - Today at 9:42 PM
    What would you like to talk about?

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:42 PM
    first of all, on January, you released 7 of GS and 7 of DP(edited)
    I noted 18USD per chapter of GS and 7 for DP
    which is the highest I could pay with the actual result

    Calvis - Today at 9:43 PM
    I'm leaving for various reasons
    I want my own website and template
    And would like to be independent of the designs that I make

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:44 PM
    second, I know it took a lot of time for Patreon matter but it's because it needs to overhaul the whole system due to your demand
    I see.
    So you are leaving with the series?

    Calvis - Today at 9:44 PM
    I felt like my demands were too excessive so
    With the patreon and the like

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:45 PM
    Hey, why no stick with us, seriously?

    Calvis - Today at 9:45 PM
    I also wanted a brighter template and music player etc
    Ive had a great time really

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:45 PM
    in all honesty, you are not much likely to earn much money unlike you may perhaps think

    Calvis - Today at 9:45 PM
    I know

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:46 PM
    btw, I am the Monarch will have to stay in our website unfortunately

    Calvis - Today at 9:46 PM
    But I feel it'll give me more joy and motivation

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:46 PM
    also, I'm sorry but I feel betrayed.

    Calvis - Today at 9:46 PM
    Well I denied going to WW

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:46 PM
    In a certain way
    Well, it's just how I feel now

    Calvis - Today at 9:47 PM
    Well resignation letters are hard

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:47 PM
    Oh well, it can't be helped anyway

    Calvis - Today at 9:47 PM
    Both irl and online

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:47 PM
    thanks for your work so far

    Calvis - Today at 9:47 PM
    Thank you too. I really appreciate what you done
    Also I was going to leave IatM here as well.

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:48 PM
    Thanks

    Calvis - Today at 9:48 PM
    I just hope you can get a translator

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:48 PM
    Hope you all the best

    Calvis - Today at 9:48 PM
    That can continue that
    Yeah thanks a lot as well

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:51 PM
    if anything, call me
    I'm always open

    Calvis - Today at 9:51 PM
    Thanks! Would it be alright if I can counsel you with the website building?
    Well I got like one question

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:54 PM
    what is it?

    Calvis - Today at 9:55 PM
    After some research, I made a website through Vultr and was wondering if you had the problem where the HTTPS Basic Authorization login was there prior to logging in on wordpress
    I'm not sure what VPS server you use but
    Or Shared hosting

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 9:56 PM
    hmmm I don't really see what you mean

    Calvis - Today at 9:57 PM
    Ah nvm then

    Calvis
    Also, I'd like to request for you take down GS, DP and Stone of Days
    I'll be making revised edits on all of them before setting the site up so
    I was going to myself, but I felt with our working relationship, I would at least ask of you to do so

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:12 PM
    can we still host what was already published? that's why we pay for the chapters too
    and it's generally like that in the community
    so yeah, sorry but I can't really agree to take them down

    Calvis - Today at 10:18 PM
    I would really prefer if you do
    How would you feel if I continued to translate IatM?
    I mean I'll take the tradeoff
    I want the integrity of my translations to be mine
    It is your decision
    Since I technically took over IatM
    I will continue to translate if my works are not taken down
    I did not delete all of the posts in advance since I did not want to go to this extent

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:28 PM
    Sorry Calvis but that's different

    Calvis - Today at 10:28 PM
    Then I will take IatM with me
    Simple

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:28 PM
    IatM was so far translated by CSV and you didn't publish any chapters

    Calvis - Today at 10:28 PM
    I did

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:29 PM
    did you?

    Calvis - Today at 10:29 PM
    And it was already announced in NU as well
    Yes
    I've already had 188 done and given to patrons as well
    Like I said it's your choice

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:29 PM
    then I will delete the chapter you released but

    Calvis - Today at 10:29 PM
    I want ALL

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:30 PM
    understand that I paid for the chapters of DP and GS

    Calvis - Today at 10:30 PM
    I'm not kidding around
    You made enough money

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:30 PM
    so it's also a matter of both side agreement
    enough? no. I paid more than I could

    Calvis - Today at 10:30 PM
    Please I was getting like what 100$ a month?
    I made more through sponsored
    Anyhow if you're not going to
    I'm just gonna start releasing IatM

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:31 PM
    more than I should pay through ad revenue I mean

    Calvis - Today at 10:31 PM
    IT doesn't matter anyways
    The translator is me so

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:31 PM
    Calvis, don't play the foolish game please

    Calvis - Today at 10:31 PM
    You can have the old chapters

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:32 PM
    I understand you want all but this is also a matter of business

    Calvis - Today at 10:32 PM
    Exactly
    I'm making you a proposition
    You can have IatM

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:32 PM
    no, you are threathning.

    Calvis - Today at 10:32 PM
    In exchange for my novels

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:32 PM
    that's different

    Calvis - Today at 10:32 PM
    Anyhow I'm not negotiating further

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:32 PM
    It's a common etiquette between groups

    Calvis - Today at 10:32 PM
    Just say a fine line

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:33 PM
    And please don't threaten me

    Calvis - Today at 10:33 PM
    Did I not say I did not threaten?
    All I want is my novels to be down
    I do not want to take IatM
    Asides from money
    I'm proud of my work

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:34 PM
    I can understand you want them down but it's not all 100% yours
    since I also paid for the hosting and service

    Calvis - Today at 10:34 PM
    When I first came in
    I said
    The chapters and novels are mine and I choose
    I just need a site to host
    Now I want them down
    I don't recall ever agreeing on the term

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:36 PM
    I don't recall agreeing on what you said either

    Calvis - Today at 10:36 PM
    Then it's official
    I'm taking IatM with me

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:36 PM
    I don't want to play the bad guy
    hey

    Calvis - Today at 10:36 PM
    You can play

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:36 PM
    don't play that game with me

    Calvis - Today at 10:36 PM
    And I will follow
    I'm not joking around

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:36 PM
    I know
    me either but hey
    give me a month at least then

    Calvis - Today at 10:37 PM
    It won't give you that much revenue in the future

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:37 PM
    it's not even profitzed.
    you think we get money the day after publishing?

    Calvis - Today at 10:37 PM
    I just want to monopolize my translated works
    Then I'll translate IatM for a month
    And after a month later
    I'll take them down as well

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:37 PM
    Calvis, it's really unfortunate you play that game

    Calvis - Today at 10:37 PM
    Sounds fair enough
    Then I'll just take IatM which I released

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:38 PM
    ok I'll take them down but I'll let you know that I'm really upset from you.

    Calvis - Today at 10:38 PM
    And just continue
    I know
    I'm selfish in what I wrote
    I'm glad we came to an agreement

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:39 PM
    this is NOT AN AGREEMENT.

    Calvis - Today at 10:39 PM
    My pride is very high. I spent all my energy and enthusiasm into those works
    I just want them to be taken down that's all

    kobatochandaisuki - Today at 10:40 PM
    yeah and your pride to betray us.
    THANKS.
    really kind of you. Thanks for the threat, thanks for the backstabbing.
    BYE.

    Why all the sad memes?
    It isn't like he is dying, is it?
    Oh my god, it's cancer, isn't it?
    How many months does he have left, will he say that if anything happen he will make a post but in truth he will disappear for months and one day the site will be down and no one will see him again.
    Oh the agony
