Hey, Haru,
I’m from Indonesia. I’ve taken interest in this translation of yours and would like to re-translate this to Bahasa Indonesia and poting it in wattpad. Do you mind?
I’ll give links to your english translation in every chapter i’ve posted, of course.
Thank you

Hi there, thank you for asking. I’m a bit hesitant to say yes for several reasons: 1) due to what has happened in the past with someone who wanted to re-translate into Thai (you may have seen a bit of it from a couple posts). 2) Also, I’m already translating from a translation, so you translating from my words, I’m worried about the original words losing its intended meaning. 3) I’m a very slow translator, as you can see, so erm I don’t want to make you or your readers wait endlessly for me to update once you’re caught up with the chapters…
Having said all of that, I started this translation project with the hopes of spreading this gem of a novel to a wider audience who may never get a chance to read it otherwise, and that’s what you’re also trying do here (I’m assuming?), so I also feel inclined to say yes.
Ahh, I really don’t know. I guess if you’re okay with my snail pace of translating, and think you can stay as true to the words and to the novel as you possibly can, then I’ll give you my blessings to go ahead. I’d highly recommend you find a link to the Chinese ebook and machine-translate it to Bahasa (?) as a back-up reference though. Also, if you also intend to translate my Translator’s Notes/Footnotes, please be clear that they’re MY notes (so people know any errors are all mine). If you need help or have questions about the novel/words I use, we can talk over emails (if you allow me to contact you by this email you’re using to comment).

So Can I assume that you agree?
I’m fine with your pace as long i’m certain that you will eventually finish this project although it take years. Don’t drop it, please. I’m re-translating other novels too, and sometimes they go on hiatus for months. It’s okay.
Yes, you can use this email to contact me, and I certainly will contact you if there’s something which needed confirmation from you.
Thank you so much
PS: I found the drama adaptation of this novel in youtube. Can’t wait to watch it XD
