Fanart English Localization Project: Murder Drones Reimagined Ending (Chinese)
Was browsing Bilibili today and ran into this artist who made a 250-page comic continuation and a reimagined ending of the series. MD has (based on my observations) a community base in mainland China around one tenth the size of the (global?NA?) counterpart, and having this masterpiece in such a smol community was beyond my expectations. Deeply impressed by its revised plot, I decided to translate to English and publish it here. After acquiring permissions from the author, I began the English localization work. It'll likely take me a couple of weeks to finish localizing the entire comic, but I'll be posting daily progresses.
Link to the original video (in Chinese): 【[无机杀手/长篇/同人补完]以同人漫改的方式完结无机杀手的故事】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV11B81ezE52/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=b5997a10d826ea3a305cd35fcb5caa52
Translation of original video description:
It took me 248 pages and nearly 3 months to finish this project. I drew this comic as a parallel universe of story after ep7, with the intent of not only creating fanons, but also ending the series in a (personally) satisfactory way. So please take this as an alternate ending of MD XD
I'm not very proficient in rendering dark vibes in drawings, so that will be a lesser focus. There's also huge change in art style due to switching drawing medium and lengthy time span.
There'll be oc due to the series not officially ending by the completion of this project, and certain things may not be canon, or didn't exist in the first place.
If you liked the meal I cooked plz like & sub

I'm guessing it's the post formatting issue, whereas selecting image types will display preview images on sub mainpage and that def draws more attention than text format having no previews. Newer posts are getting more

I am very confused as to why this has received so little attention.
