    Why would you be worried about this at all? Sky already reacted to the DMCA for Konosuba, so nothing changes there. Death March's primary translation is the WN's, so that's not going to be taken down. It's unfortunate for the TL'r on the Death March LN right now, but I imagine most everyone is following the WN. It's honestly just an opportunity to purchase and support the authors and own a physical copy, where absolutely nothing changes for you online. So chill.

    I kno the feeling, YP is generally slow and not as accurate as some of beloved translators. I was angry when they licensed Overlord and Sky stopped, I understand the reasoning though.

    If Tate No Yuusha is your example, man, then that's terrible, because those translations are scattered to hell. You basically have to look for epubs of them. I mean, sure, the WNs and LNs might be different, but it's up to the translator whether they acknowledge that difference and keep going, like Yoraikun did for shieldbro, or drop out. I hope Sousetsuka keeps going.

    I mentioned Tate because I thought that it was something people could relate easier. The true point is the fact that, as works, even the author recognized them as two different pieces. Just check whatever is translated of the LN (until Nana's appearance) and check it with the corresponding part of the LN. They are like apples and pincushions.

    Oh well... I just wish we had access to overlord volumes raws (10+) - even if translations stop, MTL isn't THAT bad ._. Sure they have got the rights... But their publishing speed is just cruel... I think management of yp is full of sadists...
