Still struggling to catch up, probably next week.

Here is the original (this is not bait, but you still should click it for the good of the author's financial situation) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

And we're back to our normal schedule!

Some thoughts by Jin: (Highlight to read.)

I’ve recently been reading more of the comments, and the top one is a pretty good play on words. It’s not as clever translated, but they said: "Isn’t it a bit too much… how short this chapter is?" A lot readers seem to like Jieun the best because she seems the most realistic character and really dislike Dongtae/Mio because of their frustrating progression.

Top comments on the Korean page of this chapter, selected by Jin: (Highlight to read.)

- Could the final die revive… a dead webtoon?
- Today's content: hit someone while walking. I’ve been robbed of 20 cents.

We'll be catching up with the Korean chapters within the week. As you can see in the Updates tab, as of this post chapter 261 is already translated. However, I'll only have time to typeset it on Saturday night, when 262 will be already out. But hang in there!

DICE, extra 179.5 (reader)

I've been wanting to release this extra for quite a while.

One of the reasons this series ranks so high in my estimation is its art. Frankly, I think it towers above all the other webtoons. Trinity wonder and Her summon are the only other ones that come to my mind in terms of art, but they are no match for DICE (in my opinion, of course). And no, I'm not a fan of the art in ToG.

This little extra was released more than a year ago and it explains the author's techniques a little.

Of course, we also wanted to boast that only we, the scanlators, bothered to convey to Anglosphere readers all pieces of DICE-related material. Fortunately, this chapter only needed cleaning and typesetting.

DICE 179.5

Here is the original (this guy's story of the previous two years is all the more reason for you to click it!). There's no official LINE release because the tramps over there never bothered to translate it, the lazy bastards.

Chapter 260 will take a few more days, by the way. I'm on a trip and that has caused a delay in cleaning and thus in everything else. I hope to catch up next week.

Since I used the blank space at the end for an ad asking for a redrawer, credits for this chapter go to Jin at translation, yours truly at the drudgery and Damien at redrawing, with a little help from Riza.

By the way, sharing our feelings about these chapters are the Korean readers: (highlight to read)

-Hey, but isn’t the ability to rewind time at no risk a fucking scam, author-nim?
-Why can’t I ‘Time Rewind’ by bank account??
-Instead of using Time Pause, why doesn’t he use that dice for Teleportation??
-Lol just take Jieun and Eunju and gtfo my man

Expanding the pool of redrawers

Hi there!

As you may have noticed, we've often had to resort to back-ups for redrawing DICE these past couple months.

Steph and Damien are busy these days and while we've managed to make do with the help of several friends, it would be great if we could get at least one more dedicated redrawer - someone who could be around every week to help out, perhaps even do a chapter single-handedly if necessity arises.

If you like the series and would like to help, send me an email (see the Contact Tab above) and I'll send you a couple pages to try your hand on. We only use pages from the latest chapter for testing, so your work won't go to waste if it's good.

Looking forward to working with you!

- Splicer.

Choo Choo Cat stepped in for Jin this time. Thanks a million!

This chapter took a little longer because there was a nightmare redraw this time.

And speaking of redrawing, we'll need seasonal help for Steph. Damien and Joseph are leaving on trips. We can get some help from back-ups like Slav and Jun, but it would be great if we could have someone working on it alongside Steph every week. If you think you can stand the heat, more details at the end of the chapter.

DICE, chapter 235 (reader)… and fake news announcement

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 235

Here is the original (the series isn't going to end in a month, all the more reason for you to click and support him!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Thanks to our good friend achyif this time. I forgot to indicate an important redraw to our team, and had to ask her to do it in the eleventh hour. Also a round of applause to likcoras, our great back-up translator, who filled in for Jin, who's busy in real life and only managed to do the first few bubbles.

So, it turns out I was a total fool this time (I'm just half a fool normally). I should have realised that "240 chapters/unfinished" referred to the current number of chapters available for purchase in the store, and the status of the series, not an upper limit on chapters before the series ends. The number didn't correspond to the chapters proper because they also count some of the small extras, like end-of-season and break announcements. Right now, as some of our readers have pointed out, the number has raised to 242 as more chapters have been released since our announcement.

The "suspension of publication" probably applied only to that week's paywall release, as an announcement to paying readers who expected a new chapter.

Yiipeee!

DICE, chapter 234 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 234

Here is the original (the author might need the extra clicks towards the end…) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

We don't have more news after the announcement made in the previous post. Chapter 237 wasn't released in the paywall this Saturday. We're working on 235. Jin said she'd try to see if there are news on the author's personal page. If anyone else knows anything, feel free to let us know in the comments. (No spoilers of series content, for those who read paywall chapters or check the raws out before we scanlate them.)

Monday, May 7, 2018

DICE over in seven chapters

Yeah, just as the title says.

Alerted by Héctor, an old presence in the comments here, I asked Jin to check out a "suspension of publication notice" next to the title of chapter 235 (which is still in the paywall).

The notice itself is ambiguous, the word in Korean could mean a temporary suspension or hiatus. But Jin found that the Naver Store interface has the series as "240 chapters/unfinished".

We take that to mean it will be over with chapter 240. Ominously, the arc that begins after Pandemonium is called Terminus.

So I guess that's it. No final battle, just a rushed ending.

(My favourite manga ever ended in a rush at 240 chapters. Now this. Guess I'm jinxed.)

I cannot fathom the rationale of telling an author to end a few months early when the series is already in the final season. How much money did they save, I wonder. But no use whining.

If at least the author tells us more or less adequately what happens to the Final Die and whose take (Eunju's, Dongtae's or someone else's) on Dice will be vindicated, I'll be able to at least have some closure.

At the very least, the fact that DICE is and is likely to remain my bestest webtoon ever, and that I relished these four years I've been reading and working on it, is unchanged.

One more thing: Naver has a nasty habit of never taking the final chapters out of the paywall. If they do it this time, it should happen with chapters 238-40, so we have smooth sailing at least until then, barred a change in policy. We shall know around chapter 236.

In that case, we have a number of options. There is a watermarked, low-quality pirate version of the raws circulating. We can use that as an option of last resort. We'll see.

I can say in advance that it was an enjoyable ride, and thanks for bearing with us.

Splicer, for the Dicescans Team

P.S.: Whether Dicescans will have a future after DICE is not something we have thought about yet. Everyone here is devoted to the series, and we've never even talked about whether we have any other webtoon as a common interest. So please leave questions about the future for when the future arrives.

By the way, make sure to take a look at the recruitment ad in the end of the chapter. We'll need seasonal help for one month, starting at the end of May, as Damien will be on a trip. And we could do with an extra redrawer who is able to work with us at a regular basis.
