Keep in mind our objetive is be a best alternative to the VNR (Visual Novel Reader), we will allways do free patchs and trying respect true translation groups, so if you is from the staff of a translation group translating a game that we have, You can request a takedown and if we confirm you’re isn’t a fake, our patch will be deleted, And to this, ours patch’s includes a small protection that needs contact our servers to work.

If you’re an game developer and wants takedown any patch here contact-us, we will remove your content.

FAQ:

Why Ads?
Basically the google translator api isn’t free, to do a massive translation the google translator request a price of 20 USD to 1.000.000 characteres translated, our ads is to paid this price.

These ADs are annoying!
We don’t aim the perfection, our patches are for those who do not care for poor translation quality, so they should be prepared to deal with annoying ads.

Then to where the money go when the ads paid the patch price?
To new patches! We don’t calculate how many downloads we get from a single patch,
but we sum all values from our ads and use the money to do new patches.

I don’t want your MTL from my patch or release!
We understand, in this case you can create an issue in our github and request a takedown.
If we confirm your identity we will remove the patches that were based either on your official or fan release.

Why the patch only translate the text?
Basically our patchs is full automatic, we only setup the open source tool that we use to support an certain game and she do everything to us, with except of translate the images
