I don't expect this section to be as good as the previous 2, but it doesn't matter. Majikoi is written by Takahiro, the same guy behind Yuuki Yuuna and Akame ga Kill! Anything he touches is gold. I'm sure Majikoi A-3 is a masterpiece too.
I've been waiting years for this release. Great job, translators, but can we please get A-4 a little faster?
Meanwhile, I clarified a line in '100 Waifus' by providing further insight into Christopher's motives:
Ai started to cry, realized what was happening, and sniffled her tears back, putting on a brave face. "It's okay, I still play lots of opponents online. I'll become the Ryuuou for you and conquer the shogi world."
Was our internet really connected straight through to Earth? Well, if it was Mikoto I wouldn't put anything past her.
"If you're playing people online, be sure not to tell them anything about your private life." I warned Ai sternly. I didn't want Terrans' condemnatory opinions of our lifestyle polluting any of my waifus, and the best way to avoid that was for Terrans to think we weren't any different from them in the first place so the subject never came up.
The new line is highlighted in bold for the reader's convenience. Without the new sentence, the warning seems pointless and a waste of everyone's time -- especially since he warns Sagiri in the exact same way later. But with the explanation, it becomes clearly vital why Christopher keeps stressing this point. Peer pressure cuts both ways. If they make too many peers on 'the other side' and they pressure his community too much, Paradise will fall apart. Stealth is necessary for survival.
This comes amidst tons of other quality of life edits and proofreads, like switching a '12 pm' reference to the '12 am' I had intended. It feels like the errors pop up spontaneously between re-reads I keep finding so many new ones. By the time this re-read is over the book will be much better than before.
