Remember, you're almost undoubtedly your own harshest critic. Even though the updated versions will be greatly welcomed, we're already grateful for the fine work you've shared with us.
I appreciate the support, but The noose is the biggest example of awful translation :x if you looked at even just the first few lines with the old and new tsl side by side, you'd see pretty quickly. It was definitely not a good project for the level I was at at the time.

Overall... I feel that both original releases were far too flawed to give the original works justice, and to bring across the original intent.
