What are your thought on NekoNyan sending a C&D to the fan-translator of Sakura Moyu, forcing them to stop the translation even though they already spend hundreds of hours on it. This happened despite the fact that NekoNyan haven't even picked up Sakura Moyu for localization yet.

I have heard nothing about that, so I don't know any details. If they haven't licensed the game, then a cease and desist letter shouldn't have any legal weight to it. It could be taken as a warning that something is about to be picked up, but there's no inherent reason to obey it.

Is this gonna affect how you translate and what works you choose in the future?

No. I'm already in a situation where every single available option is at risk of being sniped. I consider the huge amount of localization that goes on these days to be more of a threat than that kind of situation.
