Still struggling to catch up.

The paper slips are finally gone, so we should be able to catch up in the coming weeks, now.

DICE, chapter 303 (reader)

We've survived the hardest chapter in memory!

DICE 303

Here is the original (click if for no other reason than to see what we were facing!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more, paywalled chapters.)

Many thanks to Serena, for facing up to the task.

Seriously… DICE has always been the queen of webtoons in the sense that anyone editing it is confronted with challenges that are in a league of their own. Who edits this series can edit anything in the webtoon realm. This chapter is proof of that.

(Yes, the lettering was by hand. There was no other way.)

Let's see if the tramps in LINE can do this chapter justice some four months from now.

We'll be striving to catch up, now.

DICE, chapter 302 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

A warm welcome to Serena, who redrew this chapter and joined the team as a redrawer.

DICE, chapter 300 (reader)

Wow, another big round number!

DICE 300

Here is the original (click-support if only for the numerical achievement!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

The next chapter has a delay warning in Naver, without a set date.

About that… this is just speculation, but I wonder whether something is happening to the author in real life for the past couple months. The period of chapters with little plot progression and little text has been more or less the period of late releases and low rates.

Some people think that we don't cut other workers any slack when they have trouble in real life and that affects their work, so why should we cut webtoonists any? Well, if I put myself in this author's shoes, he's married and has had two daughters in the course of producing DICE.

I dunno what kind of contract webtoonits have with Naver. I don't think any outsider does. If they are paid for output, and don't receive any wages between the end of one project and the beginning of the next one, I should think a father of two would be under great pressure to extend the run of a series until they are ready to begin the next with as short an interval as possible.

Of course I don't think that should be cause to be less critical of releases. Personally, I'm not bothered by chapters with little progression. Any series, even my favourite ones like this, has its ups and downs. (With the possible exception of FMA.) In this case, I'll just keep enjoying the art and the dialogues until he gets his act together and brings the series to its conclusion. All of the above is speculation. Perhaps he's under a writer's block for the conclusion. Perhaps he's just feeling lazy.

Some people take breaks from reading in periods like this and come back after a few months so they can binge through the slow-progression part.

The wrong links for raws after chapter 293 have been corrected. Kudos to lfaccidentwill for spotting the mistake.

DICE, chapter 299 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

Here is the original (he's done almost 300 chapters for you; have you click-supported him 300 times? If not, time to catch up!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

Boofy's gone on a break, so we're looking for at least one other redrawer to join us.

DICE, chapter 298 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 298

Here is the original (who knows, your clicks of support may expedite the end of the series) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

Chapter 299, like this one, will be a little late.

DICE, chapter 297 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 297

Here is the original (click-support the author, it's much better than trying to rationalise reading bootleg translations) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

This chapter was translated by Choo Choo Cat, drudgery was done by yours truly and Boofy did the redraws.

And given how this chapter played out…

DICE, chapter 294 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 294

Here is the original (remember, it's before the dawn that the darkness is deeper and the support clicks help the most!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

What came to my mind while working on this chapter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBvOHpNhswo

Slight delay ahead

Just a heads-up.

Jin will turn the scripts for 294 and 295 in a bundle, but at the time I'll be in the middle of a trip. So there will be a delay of a couple of days for 294. You can also expect a delay on 295 as Boofy will also be away early this week.

DICE, chapter 293 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 293

Here is the original (steps from the finish, clicks from the finish… they go hand in hand!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

A chapter with no redraws!!!

DICE 292

Here is the original (don't be stingy with your support clicks!) and here is the latest browser-based English official release by LINE. (Via the smartphone application, you can read three more chapters.)

Fifth anniversary!

A little late, but it's still the 11th in some time zones.

Five years ago, Jin began this project.

A couple of weeks later, Kfnmpah K and then I joined her to work on the series.

Never thought we'd still be doing it by now. I think my first estimate was that it would be over at 200 chapters.

I don't think there will be a sixth anniversary, at least not with DICE as our flagship series. But let's enjoy the ride until it's over.

Thanks for being with us so far, as readers and sometimes joining us when we needed help. I very much doubt we'd still be doing it, and caught up with Korea about 90% of the time in the past couple of years, had it not been for you all.

Cheers, Jin!

DICE, chapter 291 (reader)

Easy chapter, early release!

Hm. Turns out I was able to make time. With this, we're caught up again.

DICE 287

Here is the original (all stories of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by click-supporting are fake news) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 286 (reader)

I was busy these days.

DICE 286

Here is the original (click the link, support the author, it's as simple as that) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Chapter 287 is already translated, but due to the fact that I'm only cleaning it now, the redraws will take longer, so don't expect us to catch up again till next week.

DICE, chapter 285 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 285

Here is the original (clicking and seeing is more than believing, it's supporting!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Incidentally, for a couple of weeks now there has been a one-day delay in chapters in Korea. It doesn't affect us much, but just so you know.

DICE, chapter 284 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 284

Here is the original (each click of yours to support the author allays our guilt as bootleggers a little!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

No room for credits this time, but Jin translated, yours truly did drudgery and the hard redraws on this chapter were vanquished by Boofy and Velosiped!

DICE, chapter 283 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter, 'cause I sure did!

DICE 283

Here is the original (click it this time if never again, the author deserves it for this chapter!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Here is the original (clicking to show appreciation for the author and increase his viewership doesn't erase the fact that this is still a fan version… but it allays the guilt!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Comment by Jin: (highlight to read)

On a side note, looks like all the Korean comments are really fed up with Dongtae and Mio. They’re actually rooting for Sooyoung haha…

DICE, chapter 280 (reader)

Seriously, this chapter…

DICE, chapter 278 (reader)

Early release! (But don't get used to it.)

DICE 278

Here is the original (click to thank the author that there are no longer chapters behind a paywall!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

And I'd like to introduce to everyone our newest Photoshop Magician, Boofy!

DICE, chapter 277 (reader)

This one we managed to do quickly, International Labour Day and all. We're caught up again, too.

DICE 277

Here is the original (you click, you see, he wins) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

And speaking of that, we need a redrawer for the final stretch of this series. Details at the end of the chapter.

By the way, let me do something unorthodox and point everyone to check out this amazing new webtoon, Dark Mortal. (The link is to an aggregator, Mangadex. You don't need to register, but maybe you do for long-strip viewing.)

It has a solid start, with a very small resemblance to DICE, in that an outcast gets involved with a supernatural entity and gains power from that. But the setting is completely different and much darker in tone. (Though in a way, DICE has gone to aspects of human nature that I'd rather not be reminded of so often.)

It's being scanlated by the good gents of 5o5 Scans, who, contrary to us, are in sync with the new times and have a Discord instead of our antedeluvian blog. They do an outstanding edition work! Make sure to pay your respects to them if you like the series!

DICE, chapter 276 (reader)

I was busy, so this took me a little longer than usual.

DICE 276

Here is the original (the series is approaching its conclusion, so click and contribute to the author's financial cushion while he moves from this project to whatever he does next) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Again no room for credits, but Velosiped and I did our usual roles and Choo Choo Cat kindly filled in for Jin.

And speaking of that, we need a redrawer for the final stretch of this series. Details at the end of the chapter.

DICE, chapter 275 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 275

Here is the original (click-click, you hit the mouse; clink-clink, money in his house) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Again no room for credits, but Jin and I did our usual roles and Velosiped returned to work with Rin on the redraws!

DICE, chapter 274 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 274

Here is the original (you click, he earns views, and views help put bread on his table! It's magic!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

No room for credits this time, but Jin and I did our usual roles and redraws fell to Rin!

DICE, chapter 273 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 273

Here is the original (just as the author greets us back from his break with an 87-page chapter, greet him with a couple clicks!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE. (Seriously, who even cares about these guys at this point?)

Redraws in this chapter were due to the exertions of Jun and our new redrawer Rin! Cheers!

DICE is back in Korea

Chapter 273 was released. We're working on it.

A little free time on my hands…

… so I convinced likcoras and Kuroto to help me out with something different:

Jumping over 5

I happen to like bullying in school as a theme, if well done. This one's takes a slow approach, focusing on a female protagonist that's slowly transitioning from being just a plain Jane character to a bully victim. We get to see her thought process and the bullies are not over-the-top monsters, just believable, garden variety despicable human beings. There's some sci-fi stuff, too.

This is a very informal release, and I think it unlikely we'll continue on it unless a translator and at least two editors were to volunteer to join us, 'cause I don't have time to do it in a regular basis. That's why the link above goes to Mangadex and not to Death Toll's reader, and we don't have the proverbial link to the original chapter.

As for DICE, still no sign of a new chapter. They did announce the series would come back in March. What they didn't say is whether it would show up both in the paywall and as a public release. In the past, the author made three chapters at once, but only one of them was released publicly, the other two forming the usual paywall buffer. But it's possible they'll release just on the paywall first and we'll have to wait a little longer to see the next chapter. Stay tuned.

DICE, chapter 272 (reader)

Shoot, I messed up the DICE 272 post. Here it is again:

DICE 272

Here is the original (don't worry, he won't come back sooner if you don't click, but he may come back grumpier) and who cares about LINE in a post that's only a correction?

DICE, chapter 271 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 271

Here is the original (add some money to the author's holiday fund by clicking!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

I'm calling off the redrawer recruitment because after chapter 272, the series will go on a break till an unspecified time in March. This means eight weeks at most, so there's no point in sorting the redrawer issue out before the series is back.

By the way, after the fiasco of announcing the series was ending a while ago, I took care to check this piece of news. You won't find any public announcement of the break; Jin explained to me they don't announce it in advance because readers purchase fewer paywall chapters if they know a break is coming. So the announcement came with chapter 272 itself, which I confirmed with Jay, who reads paywall chapters.

For us, other than the break itself, nothing changes. When the series is back, LINE will still be 20 weeks behind at least, or five months, so we'll keep working on it.

DICE, chapters 269 and 270 (reader)

And another double release!

DICE 269

DICE 270

Here and here are the originals (yes, you're much obliged to him and will click both of them) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

No room for credits for chapter 269 since we're trying to find a redrawer to share the burden with Velosiped, who is back and did the redrawing with Slav, our back-up. Jin translated and I did the drudgery, as usual.

Feel like trying your hand Yun Hyunsuk-nim's art? Shoot me an email!

DICE, chapter 268 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 268

Here is the original (the author will produce chapters as he can, and the readers will click them as they must) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Enjoy the chapter!

Here is the original (one click from each of you a day keeps poverty away… from the author's life) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Velosiped and Damien are facing some real life matters, so our great back-ups Joseph, Jun and Slav redrew this chapter. A round of applause for them!
