Hi, I'm translating "It's Your Fault I've Been Ruined as an Elite" or "あんたのせいで私のエリートが台無しなんだが" by Kazemaru.

The webnovel is complete in Japanese at 70 chapters and I've translated 15 of them and am planning to translate 3 chapters per week.

The premise of this story is that Kyomoto Haruki, a female office worker, is highly self-conscious and tries her best to appear capable even if it means hiding some of her true personality. One day, a familiar face from high school who she sees as having stolen her glory during her high school days begins working at the same company and the story goes from there.

The later chapters touches on some pretty heavy issues such as self-harm and both characters have/had relationships with men.

I've been posting the translations on wattpad for now and I've posted links on novelupdates, but I figure there may be some people here who are interested in the premise, so I'll just leave a link here.

Also since it seems to be a concern these days, no these are not machine translated. Any mistakes or awkward wording are caused by human error.

I know Dynasty hosts some written translations too, so I think you should look into requesting they upload your work; that'll probably get it more attention than Wattpad. You should also link it on NovelUpdates if you haven't already.

Are there any examples of written translations hosted on Dynasty?

I've linked it on NovelUpdates, but I think that hasn't helped much ever since they started required logging in to see links.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the samples under the light novel tag. Not quite sure webnovels would fall under the same category, so I'll just post the thread and leave it at that for now. I did translate one light novel though so I can try to convert it to images and try uploading it at some point.

Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess is a webnovel but was uploaded here under the Light Novel tag, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Though IMO "pictures of text" is one of the most annoying formats ever. Please at least link the work page to an actual text version, if you go that route.

I've caught up with what's been translated so far and I'm really enjoying it! Their dynamic scratches the itch ive been looking for lately.

Thanks for translating it! I'm looking forward to more :)

I'll look into converting the translations into images when I have the time and see if I have any luck getting it uploaded to Dynasty. I'm planning to make an epub available as well for easier reading. I'll test it out on one of my finished translations first.

Meanwhile, I'll probably leave a post here every time I finish translating a section (the 70 chapters are divided into 10 sections).

I may post some of my thoughts as I reread the story for the translation.

As someone who works in an office job, the early parts where Haruki describes how she hates going outside while pretending to be interesting when conversing with her colleagues are a bit too real. I'm not even an elite but the feeling of my social life slipping away as I give in to the exhaustion of the work week is still something I struggle with.

On the yuri front, I'm not quite sure what I can say at this point without giving too much away. Reading the interactions between Haruki and Mizuno is one of the main highlights for me and the main reason I decided to pick this one to translate after reading a couple of other webovels.

I'm a bit confused, sorry. Is it available to read anywhere other than wattpad? (I can't see the chapters on NovelUpdates, is that what you meant by links not showing without logging in?)

No, it's not available to read anywhere other than wattpad at the moment. NovelUpdates only has external links and in this case, they would just link to the wattpad chapters.

I actually haven't checked if this got accepted to NovelUpdates yet since I try to not look at ratings at the things I translate until I'm finished. By links not showing, I mean it will show what the latest releases are but the chapters aren't clickable links unless you're logged in. Does NovelUpdates show 17 chapters under "It's Your Fault I've Been Ruined as an Elite"? If not, then I guess my requests to add new chapters there have been rejected.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it showed up to chapter 17 in NovelUpdates.

Thanks for clarifying. I was actually looking for an alternative because I was annoyed by the notice asking me to log in/download the app on wattpad lol. I might just make an account at some point.

I'm planning to convert this into an epub/pdf when I have some free time since I'll be doing that anyways if I want to convert them to images and get them on Dynasty. You can wait for that.

Finished translating chapter 20, which is the last chapter in section 3.

As for my plans to upload this somewhere other than wattpad, I'm thinking of trying a free website like neocities or something before I try to get it up on Dynasty.

A lot of webnovel translators use a wordpress blog, so I'd recommend that.
