Exactly my point. There's an immature individual here going around, thumbing down all the topics related to the translation. I mean, it's through correcting errors that we make ourselves better. And if we have someone to point that out, then it would a little easier to do so. I appreciate their effort, REALLY. But a little bit of proof reading would have made this a much more enjoyable read. Even saying this much is NOT allowed? They only see the complains but they miss the part where we also say a heartfelt "Thank you!"
Thank you for contributing your thoughts! I think what some people fail to understand that critique of a person's work is NOT the same as a critique or insult to the person him/herself... but nuance can be hard to grasp for certain individuals. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I'd be glad to have a dialogue with anyone who disagrees TBH.
In any case, I just interpret the thumbs-downs as people being butthurt, not having any articulate platform to stand on, and wanting to hide comments that make them uncomfortable LOL (not that it really matters to me since this site doesn't keep track of up/downvotes like Reddit does for example)
I'm sorry but I agree. As much as i appreciate the translator's effort (seriously, thank you!!), the grammar was off af. The mangaka worked hard for the series and the only reason why it's disliked by a lot of readers is because of the quality of translation? Hell naw. I'm not degrading the translator, but please seek help next time! I'd be happy to!
ahh no wonder i thought the stories were so boring. i agree. i couldnt follow the dialogues so i lost interest so the stories became boring. but i dont think great translation would've made a difference for me. just a thought.
It would. You could've followed the dialogues and wouldn't think that it was "boring" in the middle of reading it just bc the grammar was a bit problematic. Even in the end, you'd find it as boring as you expected it to be, but at least you wouldn't notice it sooner lmao
no, it wouldn't for me. i've read stories like this 10 times before. it's pretty much the same and pretty boring.
Not youe cup of tea I see
To people who think "you shouldn't complain about the grammar because you're reading it for free": why not? Nobody is insulting the translator, merely stating that the quality of the translation is not up to par compared to the work of other groups. And I, for one, agree. At times I found the dialogue to be difficult to follow, which detracted from my understanding and enjoyment of the story. If you're someone for whom this does not apply, great! But I don't think that is a valid reason to dismiss the feedback of other people who feel differently. And regarding the "if you think you can do better, blah blah" rebuttal, I am speaking as someone who has experience in all areas of scanlating (translating/typesetting/cleaning) so I know how much work it can be... but that's not exactly an excuse for skimping on effort. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
