It’s a couple hours early, but here’s chapter 12 for everyone! I realized after I posted chapter 11 that some of the navigation links weren’t working correctly, but those should all be fixed now. If you ever have trouble with navigation, please let me know so I can fix it right away — I mostly catch it by observing viewer traffic, but that’s not always going to be an accurate measure. Happy reading, my friends! ~Ren連 Continue reading Fake Cinderella Chapter 12 up!

As promised, Chapter 11 — Return is now posted! Happy reading! ~Ren連 Continue reading Fake Cinderella Update

I’m not pulling your leg this time — I’m really back, readers. We’re resuming posts with the first side story, involving Nadir and his consul. I’m not saying “soon,” I’m saying the post is scheduled and will release today. Chapter 11 is also scheduled to post next Saturday, and from there we should be seeing a regular upload schedule of every Saturday morning at 10:30AM Central time. I’m so sorry I disappeared. 💀 Last year into February this year was the second half of my Master’s degree, so I was buried deep, deep, deep in thesis work. Since my degree … Continue reading Fake Cinderella is back!

Well I started LTM’s collection of oneshots with I’m the So-Called Villainess, but did you ever wonder what happened on Eury’s side of the equation with the heroine? Thanks to one of my readers, I realized there was a oneshot prequel that covered just that! Say hello to I’m What One would call the Heroine, but since None of Us Believe it I’m Already Thinking of Withdrawing! Personally, I think Nanami is even quirkier and more candid than the lead of Villainess — she was a treat to translate, and I hope she’s just as much of a treat to … Continue reading Here Comes the Infamous Heroine!

Just realized I left all the “NEXT” links undone for like, every chapter after 4 on Fake Cinderella. 😱I’m so sorry, guys. They’re all fixed and double-checked now. If you find another one, please let me know. 😭 Continue reading I Pulled an Oops

That’s right, with chapter 9 of Fake Cinderella now up, Lotus in the Mire has officially overtaken the previous MTL translations — from now on, it’s brand-new content for all ye English readers! I’m probably looking forward to what happens with Alterie(Maya) and Nadir as much as the rest of you~! 🥰 Before we get any deeper, however, I had a question for all my readers. I’m giving it my absolute best to translate everything, but opinions are usually strong in this area: would you like me to preserve the Japanese titles? In the most recent chapter, Lilia refers to … Continue reading We’ve Caught Up!

I decided to read my own work and pulled up It seems I’m the So-Called Villainess only to realize several typos and writing no-nos that were 100% my fault. Those are fixed now. I’m so sorry. There’s no beta on board here, but I do swing around and read my own work and fix things periodically. 😅 Chapter updates for Fake Cinderella coming in tomorrow, so I hope you’ll keep an eye out! 💖 ~ 連　Ren Continue reading Chibi Update

For all of us, honestly, because I thought I was going to dedicate myself to Fake Cinderella right up to New Year’s Day, but here I am already with a new release! 🎊 It seems I’m the So-Called Villainess, but I’ll Take my Punishment Properly so Please Let Me Off Easy was translated once by someone using MTL, but I wanted to do it one better. The story seemed interesting, and one chapter wasn’t a terribly big deal. 💕 I hope you’ll all appreciate this little villainess oneshot~ Once I started looking for projects to pick up, it turned out … Continue reading Surprise! A Villainess Enters the Scene?!

Welcome to the first post for Lotus in the Mire Translations! I hope y’all enjoy your stay here. Please be encouraged to look around; I know it’s a bit sparse yet, but that won’t be an issue for long! Lotus in the Mire will focus on translating works from the site Shousetsuka ni Narou — this is because the work is available for free, so even though I’ll be translating it, I won’t be infringing on anyone’s profits by doing so. 💖 Genre and type will range widely, but I like to think that picking up abandoned stories is a … Continue reading Welcome to Lotus in the Mire!
