GXP translation questions

[Metazoxan]

So I saw the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-ohki Ova 5 and it rekindled my interest in the novels due to all the missing information.

So two things I noticed is that NovelUpdates only seems to list up to volume 12 and volume 17 has yet to be fully translated.

Is translation of the novels still ongoing and it's just going to take time or has it kind of stalled? Since there aren't released dates as far as I can tell I can't tell when the last one was done.

Another question I have is if I'm mostly just interested in the new info do I really need to start from volume 1 or can't I skip one or two and get to the new parts?

Well, here on the forum we have Eff Efferson. He has translated several TM novels, including GPX. He has a blog where you can find them: https://tenchimuyotranslationblog.blogspot.com/
