The Hermit's Den
This modest blog is here for a bored hermit to share her translations of bitter and depressing stories. All M people, welcome welcome! As for all the other, what are you doing here? You'll ended up depressed and in tears! Careful!
Your hermit is not a native English speaker and is just studying Japanese. It's not a machine translation and this hermit is using google translate only to have the reading of the damned kanji. My wonderful dictionary app Takoboto and the Internet are used to check the meaning of unknown words and expressions.

The story translated is:
My fiancé is in love with my little sister
The story is fully translated and completed. I think so at last, it is hard to find out if the author will write more, but we have reached a conclusion point as of chapter 54 and the author has started a new series.
Please, enjoy your read and try not to cry too much. I love reading comments and see how you're sinking into depression. Don't hesitate to share your sadness, that's my greatest source of motivation. I don't always answer back, but I read it all, even the most recent comments post up way after the chapter was. Mwawawawawawa
Hi! I just wanted to say I love you.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for picking this up and translating this very depressing story.
Thank you for the hard work, really wanted to read this novel!!!!
ReplyDeleteFilled with emotion >u<
This story always make me cry in every chapter. It is like its the author's mission to add to my depression pill. Thank you for this translation
ReplyDeleteI came across this novel the other day and read it all completely. I just want to say, you're doing a great translating this!!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great Translation. I've been binge reading this story, and glad that I'm doing so.
Who knows what would happen if I'm not.
Heaven help me, I wish I'd never discovered this story...but thanks for your hard work. I look forward to the next chapter...I think...? Dunno, it's hard to think when you're crying.
ReplyDeleteyou're so cool. after reading your translation, i decided to translate it to my language and while translating i noticed that even if you understand smth fully, you might not translate it perfectly to your language. a translator also needs to adapt the story to the final language and I've been enjoying your work so far. It's also that i like depressive stories and pitying myself. idk why
ReplyDeletesry for my bed england
Thank you thank you! I hope my adaptation to English isn't too bad because it's not my mother tongue either. But it couldn't be help, I wanted people to read and become depressed --- I mean, enjoy the story!
DeleteCould luck with your translation, it takes time, it's tiring, but also funny and fulfilling!
Una curiosidad: ¿Cuál es su lengua materna?
DeleteIt's French!
DeleteTo the person who wrote the comment on depression with the links toward articles on this topic, I decided to delete it.
ReplyDeleteI hope this won't hurt your feelings. I just couldn't judge if it was appropriate or not to let it there. I'm translating for the pleasure of reading and sharing (yeah, even though it's a tragedy), so I found the links didn't belong here.
Wishing you the best, have a nice read.
Oh, por cierto, en una página de facebook ví que ya había salido un nuevo capítulo en el idioma original, me imagino que pronto tendremos noticias por acá. Gracias por traducir está lacrimógena historia, jejeje. ��
ReplyDeleteAre you going to translate a different novel?
ReplyDeleteI thought I would, but then I became too lazy xD
DeleteUnderstandable considering how much work that is ... I tried to translate it into German and after like the first two seconds, I gave up and decided to read on 😂😂
DeleteThank you so much for translating this novel, I just love feeling depressed ��
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you have recs for novels which are sad and depressing like this? I'm sorry if this has already been asked though �� Thanks!
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed the story ^^
DeleteActually, I've read very few sad stories, it might be contradictory but I like comedy and light read more than tragedy.
BUT! I've looked through my NU reading lists, and the ones that might interest you are:
I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way?
Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?
The Girl Who Bore the Flame Ring
Gomen ne, Onii-sama
Violet Evergarden
And I haven't read it yet, but people on the comments section say it's a great story and they cried reading it : Lost You Forever
I hope this well help! Have fun? Should I say have sadness instead?
Oh thank you so much for these! I've only read Violet Evergarden from this and really liked it. And I've heard of how sad Shuumatsu is RIP. I'll give them all a try:D Have a great day (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
DeleteHi! Well, it isn't that depressing or whatever, but why don't you try Attack on Titan? I heard that the Japanese Synchronizer (is that even a word?) of Eren got depressions after the work on the anime. Yes, it's manga/anime. But I highly recommend it! And ... well, I like the ending. Because it's not ur usual happy bullshit.
DeleteHi! Since the quarantine, one of my friends recommended me read this since it was one of their favorite novels. I'm about halfway through and it is depressing AF haha. Anyways, I wanted to say thank you so much for translating this from Japanese! I'm extremely grateful that you did this so I (and many others) could suffer from the depressing book. However, I couldn't help but notice some grammar and spelling mistakes littered around. I wanted to offer my services to help proofread(?)/clean(?)/edit(?) the translation so it can be easier to read (It's something where it's like I'll try not to change any of the words used to preserve the feeling that the author gives us, but I'll try to reorder them to be less confusing.) You're totally fine to reject my offer, but I just wanted to put that out there if you're interested. Thanks again for translating it and I hope you have an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteThumbs up! now..I have a motication to keep studying Japanese~ I'm also glad I found this story because of the manga..and this site. Arigato!! from the bottom of my heart!♡
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the story! The author is very good at tormenting her characters and readers...
DeleteAnd I wish you the best of luck with your Japanese studies. Learning to read it is hard, and when you don't practice for a while you forget a lot of kanji... (cry silently)... but being able to read the original and not having to wait for translations is great!
Thank you very much for translating the story
ReplyDeleteHello, thank you so much for this novel. I was searching for this novel, excuse me, where I can read this novel? the link do not work for me.
ReplyDeleteTo reach chapter one, you can follow this link:
Deletehttps://hermitranslation.blogspot.com/2018/02/chapter1_23.html
Normally, you can use the links from the indexpage. On computer, you can fin the index page on the top left of the screen. On phone, you can click on the black band where "home" is written, it will allow you to chose "index"
Tell me if it doesn't work again, I'll try to help!
This novel is filled with feels.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your time and hard effort in translating this for us.
Also loved your little spoil free notes at the end of every chapter. 😆
Thank you for bringing such a wonderful story to is readers Nocta~!
ReplyDeleteHELLOOOOOO!! I just want to say thank youuu, thank you so much for translating this story, I know this kinda take your time and you put a lot of effort translating this so thank you very much! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAA i just found this beatiful novel yesterday and I love it,
ReplyDeleteI read a BIG spoiler BUT but I'm going to continue this story because... masochism (?) hahan't, I hope you don't abandon the project because the translation is really good aH, by the way, I speak spanish and I wanted to take your translation but I don't know if you have a problem with that-sweats-
beautiful**
DeleteHello! You can use my translation, no problem!
DeleteAnd don't worry, I won't stop translating this story. We are just waiting for the author, and it takes them a lot of time to update.
Have fun, masochist reader!
Thank you so much!!!
DeleteThank you for translating!! Is there a chapter/scene in this story that you consider your favorite?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for translating! It's been a wild ride, but I hope the author will still finish off the ending^^
ReplyDeleteThe translation is beautiful and I feel that you capture a lot of the emotions conveyed in the japanese translation. I know that some words in japanese are more poetic (?) in a sense so I'm grateful for your hardwork and loyalty! I actually started this series back in 2020-2021 I think, and I've only just recently finished. Ilya's character is so tragic,,, but the current direction of the story makes the story so worth it! There's so much I want to comment on but I want to keep it spoil-free, but really hope the next chapter won't be too long of a wait. =v=
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. Knowing that some people, somewhere, are also enjoying this story is the best reward for me.
DeleteI can only hope that the author will write soon, and maybe finish this story this year (in my dream, probably!).
