Translator is retiring a way to continue reading or guide for someone to pick it up

So hello, I have been starting to get busy lately and I have decided to drop this hobby of translating, but don't worry, I don't want to leave you heart itching for the not-coming chapters, so I plan to give you my secret sauce that makes me create those good quality translations with little effort and continue reading until your heart's content.

So, if you had a guess from my quick release rate, I used [AI] Chat GPT to be specific to translate these, but that's not all. If you actually just put the untranslated stuff you want to read, it will actually give you worse quality than if you just read it with Google Translate. You need to add a few ingredients to give you the tasty novel you want to read, so:

First, create a new, fresh Chat gpt account for a fresh memory and history with no influence, though if you like your personalized gpt, then make sure there is memory you can check in Settings > Personalization > Memory > Memory Management.

Second, we will use the free gpt4o, no need for paid gpt or gpt mini. So now the second ingredient, you need to add rules and guidelines for your AI to follow, so use this as the prompt I have been using.

> Translate the following Chinese chapter into English with the following requirements:

1. Complete preservation of the original content—do not shorten or cut any part.

2. Translate all names with Pinyin annotations (e.g. 莫雪遥 → Mò Xuěyáo).

3. Preserve the structure and formatting, including chapter titles, breaks (like ====), and author notes (e.g. “作者有话说：…”).

4. Enhance readability and emotional depth slightly where needed—but without changing the plot or tone.

5. Maintain 1990s China cultural context, including realism around money, customs, and school life.

6. Retain emotional tone—be it humor, melancholy, warmth, awkwardness, or sarcasm—and reflect the inner voice of teenage characters.

7. Use a cinematic slice-of-life narrative style with vivid yet grounded descriptions, natural dialogue, and emotionally believable character interactions. Avoid Western idioms unless naturally fitting.

8. Minor polishing of jokes and transitions is okay if it enhances clarity or pacing.

9. Assume this is part of a serialized online web novel and keep the tone consistent across chapters.

Third, my third ingredient is customizing your gpt. Giving it rules isn't enough; you need to guide it to follow a certain style. The way I did it is to grab the chapter it produced and then change it until it reaches the style I want, and then give it back to gpt and tell it I want this style of writing. I keep doing this until it gives me the chapter the way I want. You can also tell it to be more cinematic or more comedic, and take the version you liked and tell it I want this style. But for quick setup, just pick a random chapter I made (preferably the ones you liked) and give it to ChatGPT and tell it I want this style, then translate the chapter and feed it another chapter and tell it again I want this style until it gives you satisfying results.

And this is where we at

There is a small problem with site like it says it's chapter 108 but it's actually half of chapter 84 and somewhere there chapter 85 like this

Well, today is the day back to the fruit store run by my father.

Wow, does your father still open a fruit store? Isn't that a fruit that can be eaten to a good time?

It's okay... My interest in fruits is limited to bananas.

"Cough!" Zhou Yong, who was thinking crookedly, was almost choked by his own saliva. When seeing the strange glances cast by Mo Xueyao, he hurriedly turned his head to the other side to conceal his bad thoughts just now.

.......

Chapter 85: The Innocence of Young Men

The orange light of the setting sun slanted on the faces of the two people.

The teenager and the girl walked slowly side by side on the road.

Time seems to have slowed down at this time.

Even the fallen yellow leaves seem to be a little leisurely.

Zhou Yong looked at Mo Xueyao's quiet little face. She seemed not to be so painful any more, but she walked very slowly.

(an easy way to tell chapters apart when copying the Chinese chapter to past in gpt is these dots ...... like this)

嗯，今天是回我爸开的水果店那里。”

“哇，你爸还开水果店啊？那岂不是水果可以吃个爽了？”

“还好吧……我对水果的兴趣仅限于香蕉。”

“咳咳！”想歪了的周勇差点被自己的口水给呛到，看到莫雪遥投来的奇怪目光时，慌忙将头扭向了另一边，以掩饰自己刚才糟糕的想法。

……

第八十五章少年的天真

夕阳那橘黄色的光芒，斜斜的洒在二人的脸上。

少年和少女并排在路上慢慢的走着。

时间似乎都在此时放慢了脚步。

就连那落下的黄叶都仿佛悠闲了几分。

周勇看着莫雪遥那恬静的小脸，她看起来好像已经不是那么的疼了，只是走路的速度很慢罢了。

Now for the ones who wants to pick the novel and continue you can take all what I translated it's all yours.

Your job will be to fix chatgpt hallucination so chat gpt sometime delete interesting stuff or add unnecessary stuff you will have to sometimes double check from the Google translated main source and do small changes here and there if it didn't feel right or making it satisfying to read.

So that’s all I have to say goodbye and I hope you enjoyed my translation
