Damn, I thought it only had 9 volumes. Imagine my relief when I figured out it's three times as much in the middle of reading the ninth! Are the fan translations any good? I've read the [Seven Seas] [LuCaZ] so far, are there major differences? Also, thanks very much! Will seed vigorously!

Well seven seas admitted that they were censoring the novel in their translation because of "#metoo" and other sjw causes. They said they will release a fixed ver soon. https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/02/21/seven-seas-admits-to-heavy-handed-censorship-of-classroom-of-the-elite-and-mushoku-tensei-jobless-reincarnation/

Oh, heavens, I've read the censored version? Bummer. Well, it's still pretty explicit at times.

@hoseja This is the webnovel translation

How readable is the Baka-Tsuki translation? I've found them hit-or-miss

@hoseja, sorry to dissapoint but this is the webnovel translation. The LN fan translation was never completed as far as I know (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I myself read the [Seven Seas] volumes up to 9th and switched to the webnovel afterwards. The web and light novels are pretty similar as I had no difficulty switching from the LN to WN. As for the quality of translation I think it is decent overall (though in some random chapters the translation seems to get worse or better).

these are fairly readable. but yeah, no one's going to translate the LN when it's being actively released. In general, what's been removed are mentions of rape and rapey acts. *It's worth being noted that it wasn't the translators, but the editors that forced their sjw censorship on us. Seven Seas is *notorious* for this shit, trying to localize the story to be more american, and changing stories so they're more palatable for the snowflakes.

After reading the seven seas version till vol.9, Which volume continues the story??

@alikhanawais0218, last chapters of the 9th WN volume continue the story from the LN.

Honestly, i can’t read this. It’s giving me a headache trying to make sense of all the grammatically incorrect sentences and weirdly translated expressions...

MT web novel really is a hit or miss, early on they are really meh, but it does get better on the latter half of the series, but I m definitely reading the LN when new volumes come out because there were some stuff I didn't understand when reading the WN.

The Seven Seas translation is really good. Anything cut was an editorial choice and not the fault of the translator. These baka tsuki translations are pretty shit when compared to the official translations though. I don't recommend reading them unless you like simple elementary english while reading a novel.

This compilation has a lot of problems. Vol 18 and 19 are almost entirely machine-translated, for an example. The translation notes don't work and have been removed completely. I highly suggest these instead: https://archive.org/details/manga_Mushoku_Tensei , you can download all of them at the bottom-right corner of the website, as a torrent. Go for the ones marked as [L2] and .epub or .pdf, they have working translation notes and a much better translation. Volume 18 for an example is a world of difference.
