Dataset details:
Each entry in this dataset is a sentence-aligned Japanese web novel chapter and English fan translation. The intended use-case is for document translation tasks.
Dataset format:
{
'src': 'JAPANESE WEB NOVEL CHAPTER',
'trg': 'CORRESPONDING ENGLISH TRANSLATION',
'meta': {
'general': {
'series_title_eng': 'ENGLISH SERIES TITLE',

'series_active': 'IS THE SERIES STILL UP ON SYOSETU (is false for 3 series, each one has no syosetu metadata beyond the link and active status)',
'writer': 'AUTHOR'S NAME ON SYOSETU',
'fav_novel_cnt': 'FROM SYOSETU API FOR CHECKING SERIES QUALITY',
'global_points': 'ALSO FROM SYOSETU API FOR CHECKING SERIES QUALITY'
}
}

This is version 2 of the dataset. It contains more chapters (103K -> 106K), but has slightly fewer tokens due to an overhaul of the alignment code. This version should fix the issues found in discussions #3 and #4, adds series-specific metadata as requested in #1, and does not remove chapter titles. No translation quality filtering has been applied to the dataset. Methods for doing so are being researched.
License note:
The texts and site-specific metadata is distributed under fair use principles, with everything else being under an Apache 2.0 license. If an author, translator or one of the sites mentioned above requests a takedown of one or more series, it will be promptly addressed. Takedowns can be requested through the creation of a Huggingface disscussion.
I am not a lawyer, and the above notice is probably not legally sound. As such, I recommend discretion when using the contents of the dataset.
