I know, right? At this pointy I'm ignoring the names and reading them as Eruhaben anyway ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Idk.. do they want to be so different from the source??
It's what we call on the industry - translator's ego. When a translator does not like the terms and names the previous translator picked, thinking they're not accurate or don't sound good. So they change them when they pick up the translation without any regard to the reader. There are twocamps of translators - one that say it's better to change everything for the sake of accuracy, and another is who prioritize readers and their experience, so they leave the terms as is even if they're innavurate bc that would disturb the reader who is already used to the terms.
Also, Asura's terms and words aren't even accurate, because it should be Erhaben - it's from a german word that means "great, sublime". So Eruhaben was way better than Elfuckinghavenwtf.
And I can't get over "Lark".
Yeah .. Lark, alver, elhaben roowon, raon mir and so on and so forth
We are getting two translation, so I just read the other one. At least they kept eruhaben, because what's up with elhaven
If I may suggest, read the novel and then just come back here for the pictures this is the best way, trust. The novel is so ridiculously good. Much more detailed.
Me too ahah
Bro, I have read it all and I am even caught up on the part 2 that's why the name change feels even more jarring
Their translation is great, so why are they fucking with the names?
