Hello, readers!

This is IndusMTL, the one who vanished after translating 60 chapters of The Elegant Dancing Years. :)

I'm really happy to see this novel receive so much love even now!

Back when I started translating this, I was a second-year college kid suffering through online classes. For me, translating a novel from a completely unknown language into English (my second language) seemed to be the most interesting way to spend my time.

I used to spend 3-4 hours daily translating, it used to take me a couple of days to finish one chapter. Each word was searched online, compared using different dictionaries, and then the grammar was perfected. Although it was a lengthy process, I loved it!

Then, Covid ended, offline classes resumed and I had no time to work on this little hobby of mine. Simultaneously, my values and preferences changed a lot. I did not quite agree with the story anymore. Five years have passed, I have completed my master's degree and now, I'm busy with my first job! :D

I am happy to see other translators have picked this up! Please feel free to translate, and I hope you cherish the process and have as much fun as I did.

From my end, this novel has been dropped. However, the chapters will forever remain on this website, free. If it's gone, just know it wasn't me. :)

With immense love,

Indus.
