Hero? I've Long Stopped Being One - Translation Announcement

Hi everyone!

 miriga here! I've decided to start translating HILSBO. I've never translated a novel before, but I'm super sad that Snowy Codex isn't translating this novel anymore, so I've decided to give it a shot. I don't know Chinese, so my method is just going to be running the raws through Google Translate and then editing. I'm always open to constructive criticism, but please be kind. :)

 I'm going to be picking up where Snowy Codex left off, i.e. at the beginning to Volume 2. If you want to read Volume 1, Snowy Codex's translation is available here. Raws for the novel are available here.

 I aim to maintain the story and feel of the novel while making it sound more or less natural in English, so while it won't be perfectly literal, I hope to stick closely to the author's intended impact. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy it.

Hero? I've Long Stopped Being One - Volume 2 Chapter 8

After eating, Shi Shen had to say goodbye to Lin Jie and Glasses Bro, since he had a show that afternoon. Lin Jie saw that it was already a little after noon, so he bought a few packs of chilli sticks and walked with Glasses Bro toward the Xiao's apartment. "Do you want to come with me to feed Doudou his lunch?" "Doudou?" Glasses Bro gave Lin Jie a curious look. "Who's that?" "He's a dog that Little Mumu and I adopted." Lin told him. "Then why is he at Xiao Zhan's place?" Glasses Bro found this inexplicable. "Well, it's like this. His house is basically our demolition team's headquarters. If I keep it there with the team, Sis can't kill me." Lin Jie explained: "Right now, there's no one at Xiao Zhan's apartment, anyway. The top floor is plenty big, it can make a mess, and I don't have to clean up afterwards. "As expected, you're still shameless."

Hero? I've Long Stopped Being One - Volume 2 Chapter 3

In famous scientist Dr. Qin's research institute in H City, Ouyang Rui was wearing a brain sensing device on his head.  "Doctor, you can't read his memories?" A majestic middle aged man asked an old man in a white lab coat. "I'm sorry, sir, his brain and memories are completely scrambled and cannot be read at all. There is no hope of recovery; this is a special case of mental damage. His body is still alive, but I can hardly find any normal brain waves in his brain." Dr. Qin replied to the middle-aged man in front of him. He couldn't help but wipe his sweat as he spoke, well aware that this person was a family member of one of the strongest families in Area C. "Please explain briefly." The Ouyang family head ordered. "In short, his body is all there, but his soul is gone." Dr. Qin summarized. "Is that the same as a vegetative state?" Ouyang asked, frowning. "Not at all; people in a vegetative state can

Hero? I've Long Stopped Being One - Volume 2 Chapter 1

The central square of City H was filled with people. City H's super idol group, the Ten Gods, was about to start their new show. In a van behind the stage, the Ten Gods group members and their agents were talking.  "This time, we invited the D-Class shark headed villain! Don't worry, there's no way what happened last time will be repeated this time." The agent smiled as he reassured the Ten Gods. "Are you sure?" The leader of the Ten Gods asked cautiously, remembering the tragic memories of the last time, where he was cheated by the criminals he had hired. "This time we hired a D-Class villain; even if it turns out to be overly violent, I still think that you all are strong enough to get it right," replied the agent. Then, as he listened to the growing clamor outside, he added, "It's about time for you to head on stage." "This way? Brothers, let's go." The Ten Gods band members took to the stage. "He
