A note

When I get reliable information, I post it at this site (for now; in the future I may be too busy to summarize/translate/pass on new info). If I haven’t posted about it, then I don’t know anything. There is no need to ask me repeatedly when the next volume is coming out, because I don’t know. If I knew, I would have posted about it already.

RANT: Um, context, folks

I don’t know why, but I get a lot of comments from people thinking that the conversation between Ryuuki and Shuurei near the end of vol 14 is the ENDING of the series. Have they uh… read the summary I made of the entire volume, in which it’s pretty obvious that the series is ongoing and stuff is still happening? I wish people would read the summaries before jumping to conclusions. >_<

I am pretty darn sure that the Saiunkoku series is going to go for at least two or three books more, counting gaidens, so let’s hold our horses on making any conclusions on how the series is going to end. (Although I’m much more curious about how the political stuff is going to end up than about how the romantic plots will end up.)

Hmph

Personally, I have a cavalier attitude towards spoilers. I sometimes seek them out, and I usually don’t go insane if I stumble across one. However, some people wish to avoid spoilers, so the least one can do is respect their wishes.

In this blog, we’re all about discussing spoilers. It’s obvious that this blog contains spoilers for all kinds of things. So it’s okay to just go around discussing spoiler info freely. But, I really cannot understand why some people just post spoilers in the comments of a blog where the blogger has repeatedly said he doesn’t want spoilers! If you want to discuss spoilers, you should get your own blog and link to it (blogs are free, get a wordpress one) and discuss there. If you’re going to comment to a blog, don’t comment things that the blogger has specifically said they don’t want. I’m talking about how people continually post spoiler information in Impz’s anime summaries. Even if they don’t see his comments about it, it’s just common sense to not openly post spoilers. :P

While I’m at it, it annoys me that people post disinformation in wikipedia. Please don’t post things without a source. Kadokawa has not made any announcements about the next Saiunkoku novel. It’s definitely not out in Japan. As of 1/10, I’ve heard no buzz on the Japanese fanboards about a release date for the next book.
