Hello, Translator here. You may have noticed various changes to the story I made. Notably, Hobert's transmigration. If you read the MTL, you would have noticed some differences. Also, wrote 2 R18 chapters.
I had three ideas as to how Hobert's transmigration would happen, since the original was not very good.
The one I wrote in 677 was the result of the Original Creator trying to change the nature of "Beyonder characteristics" by an external force, which was Hobert. Hobert would have transmigrated into the Modern Era, so he wouldn't have noticed any discrepancy between his world and the LOTM modern era world. The idea of Hobert being an external force to change the nature of Beyonder characteristics is something I added hastily to make the story coherent in the final chapters, so there's probably no build up to that.
Celestial Worthy, perhaps in part due to fate, grabbed Hobert up into Sefirah Castle. He noticed later on that Hobert had a certain degree of corruption and was an anomalous existence, but as the embodiment of Errors, decided that He could make use of Hobert. This led to a butterfly effect, where the Western Continent Dao System doesn't exist and the seals are strengthened compared to the original novel. It wasn't His intention to bind Hobert to the Nation of Disorder, but due to God Almighty grazing the Error, He was able to tamper with the resurrection mechanism, leading to Hobert being resurrected in this Outer Deity pathway, bound to its Sefirah. This is an arrangement of fate, but also the Original Creator's direct influence. Evernight didn't get the River of Eternal Darkness because at the time, because there was already Gregrace, whose influence over its tributary could prevent the initial connection from forming, but because the Son of Chaos was sealed and no direct connections existed, no one could prevent this connection between Hobert and the Nation of Disorder from forming.
Supreme Overseer being the 4th pathway can just be explained by the butterfly effect, so Uncertain Mist had accommodated this path some time after being split from Son of Chaos.
The other setting I had thought of was that Hobert was never a transmigrator, but instead Klein sent memories to the past in the form of a novel, sending only information back in time. This would be more similar to the original, where Hobert and Klein speak and not Hobert and Celestial Worthy, but I didn't like this as much.
Also, I realize that in retrospect, I should've make his title the Shadow Creator, since "The Creator" was not a very good title. The changes I made were very minor, as I didn't want there to be contradictions, but most of the plot points, like the Boon System, led to nowhere, so I actually could have just replaced it with the Canon Pathway Chaos Mist Boon instead. Basically, I should have just read ahead until the end. And the 4th Pathway could have just been removed as it was irrelevant, so Hobert could have killed and accommodated the HDO for the 5th Pathway.
This was my first time translating, so there were a lot of errors. I tried to remove as much nationalism, but early on, stuff like Tang Blade was left in and I didn't want to comb through each chapter to remove it. I did remove as much as I could from the later chapters.
I wasn't planning on writing Audrey R18, but someone donated for it. Did you prefer it over Fors' chapter? I'll write more for other fics if I had the time. And I could write one for Miss All Purpose Ghost Sharron x Gehrman. Final chapters are all side stories.
Side note, check out the new fanfics on my profile. If I ever have enough members, maybe I'll write an ending for the dropped Outer God fanfic, but for now it's too time consuming so I will only translate as much as there is.
