This work is a little bit too grimdark for my tastes. I don't think the gruesome death bring anything of value to the story.

That's just the reality of space.
I would call it grimdark if someone else purposefully grind a youkai girl in a meat grinder alive for amusement or reminding us of ugly side of human psychology, but this is just a natural accident that soon will lead to a survival story of immortals in outer vast universe.
You don't see Hollywood movies with similar stories labeled as "gruesome".

No matter how many times I revisit this moment, every time I hear "The Border of Ame-no-Torifune" in my head starting from this page till end of book.

I know it's a little late, but if someone could explain imaginary time, that would be nice. (In layman-esque terms. I looked at Wikipedia on the subject, and there's a critical density of physics terms I don't know beyond which it's too much to decypher.) I thought that at FTL, you experience negative time, (that is, going backwards through time, also known as 'time travel',) not imaginary time.

I know it's a lot late, but the way I understand it, regular time is a one-dimensional affair from past to future, while imaginary time has two (or more!) dimensions, so you can be progressing to the "up" future instead of or in addition to the "right" future, and either you can change how quickly you are traveling to the "up" future versus the "right" future, or everyone would be traveling to the future at different proportions of "up" future to "right" future (otherwise it would be no different from one-dimensional time). I have no clue how that shakes out as an experience, though, much like how it's hard to imagine spacial movement in four or more dimensions.

3: For some reason, the notes on this page display their text on top of the original image even when I don't mouse over them. That's not normal, but what causes it? I don't see any particular tags or text in the notes themselves to explain it.

This is special type of notes, called the "embedded notes". They've been around for a while, but didn't used that often for a various reasons.

1: Various posts in this series (starting at post #2144529 and especially common at this point) are not completely translated.
2: There's no need to leave blank spaces between the HTML tags and the text contained in those tags when writing notes. That increases the loading times and memory usage, which might be insignificant to computer users but problematic for tablet and smartphone browsers.

I'm gonna translate this but in a slow pace due to errands

If you have enough account privileges, post #2144517 has a set that you can copy all at once. (You can still add notes one by one with a regular account, but it'll take longer.)

Edit: I don't know if all the translations are correct, or which names have translations different from the Alice in Wonderland references. I did this longhand (the copy-one-by-one way) since I don't actually know Japanese. Also, can someone reverse-translate the "no image" boxes, please?

That's because they're completely incomprehensible numbers to a human sense of scale. That said, you just put "illion" onto the end of Latin numbers, so you can extend it on infinitely. You sometimes see it in some idler/clicker games once you get to the absolutely batshit insane multipliers. (Idling to Rule the Gods lets you have "power levels" into the novemdecillions. By then, you're creating universes at rivals as a special attack.) That said, practically speaking, it's far easier to just use scientific notation for incomprehensibly huge numbers, since basically the only way to actually make a hexidecillion make any meaningful sense is to just turn it into scientific notation, anyway, so why add another step?

In fact, Eirin talks about 2.2*10^89 later on, which is apparently 220 Septivigintillion.

To give a sense of just HOW incomprehensible these scales are, a human hair is somewhere in the ballpark of the millions range of atoms in width. There are in the ballpark of 10^80 atoms in the entire universe. So we're talking about a timescale where if you counted years by counting atoms in the universe, you'd be 0.0000001% of the way through counting the years before you ran out of universe.

My head just exploded.

SF writers are probably some of the most skillful practitioners of the art of bullshitting.

Politicians would like to have a word with you.

I think it was Douglas Adams who described the difference between a wit and a comedy writer: a wit can say something funny right now, whereas a comedy writer can say something very funny a week from now.

Thus, a politician can give you bullshit on a moment's notice, whereas a SF writer can give you an enormous heap of elegant internally-consistent bullshit with some lead time.

Eirin just admitted that she's old in a very complex (and quotable) way.

So quotable, you'd almost think it's part of the script.
