    Too lazy...
    But basically he called China 中国 as Worm Country 虫国 see the similarity on the Kanji, and then Insect Country 蟲国 and then he called South Koreaa, 姦国 (both spelled Kankoku) this is a bit harder to translate to English but FUCK country or Wicked? Or just Effeminate (since there are 3 woman character). I guess can't convey the meaning behind the word well.

    From a reddit post:
    Did you guys clearly know what the novel is REALLY about before pitying it?

    Some FYI facts here:

    1.In the LN, the writer described that the hero, Japanese, "went to China" in 1935 (aged 15), "killed 3712 people during a world war", "He got away with it and lived to 94."

    2.The Chinese website which got licensed to publish this novel in China, received a version from the publisher in which the description above was removed, and had never been informed of that.

    3.The website of the pending anime is only accessible in Japan. It blocks any IP overseas- Not only visitors from China and Korea, but also from the U.S., Europe, etc. Try it.

    4.The writer tweeted "The Japan's loss to 'the nation of worms (an insulting nickname of China)' (in WWII) is not a fact, isn't it?" in 2013. Apart from this, he called Korea "the nation of rape" (Thanks Stormfly for suggestions on the translation).

    5***.[Still a RUMOR, apologize if it caused any confusion] The production committee knew nothing about this piece of plot until the Chinese licensed publisher filed a complaint. The writer's uncooperative and arrogant attitude towards the committee members' asking was what finally irritated them to shut down the animation project.

    6(New).The Chinese embassy in Japan has also sent their complaints to all concerned. It it already a diplomatic issue rather just an ANIME thing.

    Here's my personal opinion (which you can ignore or rebut) :

    The writer is a Fascist instead of just racist. There are still, some Japanese who deny the defeat of Japan in WWII (They insisted that the Mikado just ordered to "end the war" instead of "to surrender"). They regard Japan's invasion of China as "an attempt to build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere“. The writer is a member of th

    I still want to read the story though.
    Stuck up arrogant people are usually the talented ones, right?

    ..or just most talented people end up being obnoxious because of getting spoiled so much.

    So what's the novel called again?

    Wouldn't waste your time on it because the novel is probably getting the boot too.
    I mean, glorifying a main character because he slaughtered Chinese people during a real world massacre is just asking for troubles.

    I think the editor missed tuning down the right wing tone of the novel for the character background. After all, they already excised Renya's background for the Chinese version.
    Even GATE is actually a right wing fan wank Japan STRONK type of story before the editors toned it down in the LN and Anime.
    In the first place, they should have changed his background a bit for anime. After all, anime adaptation sometimes changed the lot and the one of the story (like Violet Evergarden, the anime styling makes the story more poignant ).

    If the author wants to make the MC very skilled at sword and had killed a lot of people, he should make him Yakuza enforcers or Government SpecOps agent or member of shady organization operating in Africa independence conflicts. Less politics that way.

    The Author "could" have gotten away with it if he didn't tweeted such racist remarks and kept his professionalism intact (only do it in the novel and never mention such beliefs in real life) . :blobsmirk: BUT nope he just have to do it....

    If you carelessly posted racist remarks especially in a social media site you can pretty say goodbye to your career. :facepalm: It has happened before and it'll happen again. :notlikeblob:

    From what I have heard, this only happened after the whole drama blew up as they decided to cancel the whole animation.

    Hahaha because you did not use the romanji, I didnt know it was the same novel lol : Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de

    As the translators have picked up the novel again, those who want to read it can continue
    I felt validated when the translator admitted to not giving a shit who the author is
    Most readers do not, that is why people rather pirate than pay for content.
    Many claim to have altruist reasons for translating or reading novels but we all know that's a lie.
    It is just selfish humans being selfish. Many do not care about the source

    But basically he called China 中国 as Bug/Worm Country 虫国 see the similarity on the Kanji, and then Insect Country 蟲国 , which is basically 虫 repeated three times.

    Then he called South Korea, 韓国 as 姦国 (both pronounced Kankoku) this is a bit harder to translate to English but FUCKED/Raped Country or Wicked Country, or just Effeminate Country (since there are 3 woman characters). I guess I can't convey the meaning behind the word well.
