https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/apr/25/artificial-womb-for-premature-babies-successful-in-animal-trials-biobag Have you seen this? Also, I've been recommending your series to all my friends because we were having discussions about the societal implications of artificial wombs and cryofreezing. So thank you for hours of entertainment and education!

In your review of Heaven's Official Blessing Vol 1, you had wondered which word was translated as "Jeeze!". The word was likely もう mou, which literally means an acknowledgment of a change of state, with a connotation of surprise. The translator of Ascendance of a Bookworm, Quof, defended "Geez" on J-Novel Club Forums. My questions are: Have you interacted with any translators of your work? If so, what was it like?
