okay so i've said something before about correcting characters names in previous chapters based on official spellings that came up in later chapters or official merch (eg claren to clarin). well in later chapters walter's name is spelled on a poster as "valter crueger" which is a very abnormal spelling, but I started changing it to that because of that chapter. however, now that I'm going back and fixing old chapters, in 130 walter's name appears as "walter kruger" on a ticket. so, with that being said, I'm going to OFFICIALLY go with "walter kruger" as the spelling, as that is the most natural spelling of the name of the two variations shown in the manhwa. thank youuuuu for your patience
this is different from my typical updates, but i made a fanmix for nme if anyone would like to listen :-) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3qaXvuxpI2zqu52tlFcWTh?si=ba64d21be36545b4
hey everyone, ive had a few requests to translate season one myself, so you'll be seeing those chapters uploaded over the next couple weeks. im not going to have it notify readers when i do, so if that's something you're interested in, keep your eyes peeled.
thanks for all your hard work!!!
fuuucccckkkk yeeeaaahhhh thanks Sage!!!!

THIS IS LIKE THE WORST THING EVER HOLY
Lowkey wnna see garam's beer belly

season 6 officially begins tomorrow. just keep in mind my translation will be up 24-48 hours after the official release. though I will be posting BDK’s afterword for season 5 between now and then, so keep an eye out for that if you’re interested.
I'm so nervous my booty is clenched really tight
Realmente me encanta tu traducción,muchas gracias por todo el esfuerzo que pones en esto(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Me too girl
mentioned it in another comment, but the season 5 finale is nearly twice as long as most other chapters. i've worked on it for probably about 6 hours on and off today, and i'm about 80% done. i definitely won't have it up by 9am ET like i typically do, i'll probably get it posted sometime in the evening. remember, you can get the raws on lz!
hai king take ur time king !!! we're reading this for free how can we complain!
take ur time!! you need breaks too pookie
you are a hero but not the flash, take your time king!
What to search in lezhin website,,when I type no more Eurydice there’s no results
Wait nvm
just realized there is a missing panel, there’s no text on it but i am not able to fix it at the moment. will probably get it updated around 4 pm ET.
just kidding, updated it now from my phone as a bit of a placeholder. the alignment is off since it’s just a screenshot of the panel so *that* will be fixed later when i have access to my computer.
Thank you for translating, absolute king
firstly, just a reminder that my tl will be up 24-48 hours after the new chapter tomorrow.
i also just wanted to check-in; i was originally going back to fix any errors in previous chapters, but have since become completely engrossed in fully redoing old chapters, as i'm not happy with my older translations or cleaning. initially, i was rushing because i only really intended my friends to read this and was overwhelmed by the volume of chapters. but now that i'm on the other side and have gotten better at translating korean to english and am more willing to take the time required for proper cleaning, i'm spending any time outside of translating new chapters kind of "remastering" old ones. i'm up to chapter 44 now, so if you are someone who has started reading this more recently and notice a drop in quality between older chapters and newer ones, that's why. and if you're a reader who has been here longer, that's why you see the older chapters getting updated so frequently. any extras are unfortunately going to take a backseat to this as well.
Wow thank you so much for your dedication Sage
wow! It's rare to see such passion for translating; I'll definitely re-read your better version, Sage! Thanks for your hard work!
thanks everyone for reading with me, this has been a labor of love and pretty much all i've done every waking moment of the last two months. i'm going to upload some twitter extras and i'll probably go back and make some corrections to previous chapters, but otherwise, the updates will now be weekly (save for the scheduled hiatuses).
let me know if there's anything from the author you'd like to see translated, and i'll do what i can.
you can find me in a few different places online,

i'm open to requests if there are any other hidden gems like this without western releases, and i actually had more experience with japanese before this, so let me know if there are any manhwas or mangas you'd like to see. otherwise, thanks again, and i'll see you all next monday
Dear Sage, honestly thank you so much for making this accessible. It filled something in me and i‘m even trying to listen to classical music. Also i‘m gonna buy some chapters on lezhin something i‘ve never done before.
Thank you very much for your hard and quality work. I am a comic artist myself and these wonderful works are very inspiring. I would not have gotten this comic otherwise, I am still trying to get it somehow to support the artist.
I love you so much Sage.
Just curious, are you Korean or did you teach yourself Korean? Either way you did a fantastic job for a solo amateur translator. I’ve seen official releases with worse translation. Thank you so much again.
Thank you, Sage! I honestly can't believe that we're now caught up to raws which is mind blowing considering that 205 chapters usually takes a year or so if it was an official. I'll be back next week again for your uploads. Until then, ima find another gems like NME.
So very grateful to you for bringing this masterpiece to us THANK YOU SO MUCH
i studied japanese as a foreign language all throughout school and taught myself korean alongside it. im not either, but i have some korean and japanese family, which is what got me started. i've translated a few physical japanese works, so i had a bit of experience prior to this, but this is my first time posting anything. thanks so much, it means a lot.
sage, thank you so so much for all of your hard work. you have no ideaaaa how much i appreciate you. finding and reading nme has been the highlight of my summer. it’s so incredible and made me want to engage with classical music and just art in general even more !! again, thank you soooooo much for sharing your translations with us !!!!
the best kind of translation is the type you don't even notice is a translation because of its naturalness and effectiveness. seriously thank you so much for not only being so prolific but for producing this kind of quality too! would have never found such a beautiful story if not for you!
All hail to the great sage
All hail to the great sage
thank you so much, this means the world
Thanks a lot for your effort and time. I wouldn’t have read this hidden gem without your translations
THANK YOU GOAT
Hi, thanks for translating. I have heard how good this is and have just started reading. Saw that you said you’ll go back and correct any of the earlier chapters. I’ve just read chapter 8 and there’s definitely one, or possible more, panels missing. Thanks again for translating. I’m looking forward to catching up!
Hi. Came back again to say ch.10 also is missing a page or more - same as ch.8 and I’m unsure if there was an issue with ch.11 or the 11.5, I just know I felt a bit confused…
Thanks once more for your translations!
my uploads only start after 12 so unfortunately i have no control over the prior chapters
Oh no! Is there any chance you could upload your own?
I’ve seen before when someone else posts the same chapter usually with caption saying “better quality” or “fixed translation” etc. so maybe you could too? Not uploading over those chapters but just adding it to the list.…
If you want an example of what I mean check out The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly. The official uploads there are fine but the list of uploads by fan translation have double chapters saying “better quality” (ch. 15 - 18 along with others). These have all been uploaded by someone other than the original uploader so I’m hoping you could do the same??? I don’t mean to pressure you or anything but myself and a lot of other people are loving this series and are truly grateful for your efforts to bring it to us!!! It would be great if ch. 1 - 11.5 were of a better quality also. Again, thank you for what you have already translated. Hope I’ve done the link correctly otherwise just search the name :)

I can’t edit my comment, was meant to type 1 - 12 but forgot to fix that :/
Sage, I genuinely just wanted to say thank you You have no idea how many times your chapters have literally saved me. I always look forward to seeing you upload them because the moment I start reading, it’s like I’m completely indulged in my own little world ahhh !!! I just keep smiling whenever I see a notif that you posted a new chapter
Ahhh same after this manhwa even I've started listening to classical pieces. How's your experience so far? Lmk !
Yesss !! Same !!! Even I've started listening to classical pieces!! Lmk your experience
thank you for your kind words :) ive been working on redoing old chapters since ive gotten better at both cleaning and translating over the last 200 episodes, so i hope you go back and enjoy those!
i've finished uploading my own translations of chapters 1 through 12. the translations that were uploaded previously had some errors and at times omitted entire lines of inner monologue, so go back and check those out if you're so inclined.
sidenote while im here since i see people ask every week: i do not upload my translation of the new chapter until at leat 24 hours after the official kr release. so that will be here tuesday after 8 am ET. raws are only available on kr lz
thank you so much for all the work and effort you've poured into this project!!!
Thank you so much for bringing this story to us!
okaayy thank you ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
