    It’s at the chapter 362... Like, Yu Jonghyuk —> Yu Joong-Hyeok ... Every name is split this way to match more their Korean name. Honestly, I’m kind of pissed... I understand the intention, but a translator should know you have to stick to the first translation even if you find something better afterward, especially when it’s for every single character + technical terms (story—>fable). Now I’m lost bc I don’t recognize which character they are talking abt ╥﹏╥

    thankfully i havent gotten up to that point in the novel but im pretty sure the latter half is mtl with no tweaks and fixes. the names should be easy since they're all pronounced the same but technical terms.. ugh. best if you note down the changes, and you can check as you read

    That took me some time to get used to as well.. Honestly, that was annoying but the translation gets much better after that. There's less to none of the grammatical errors.. So I recommend reading again.. The story is too good to give up on (/TДT)/
