From what I know this is actually a real thing, but it's a korean custom in which little girls were only fed peaches and then rich noble men would lick their sweat, penetrative sex with them was forbidden and they were really short lived because of their inadequate diet. I don't really think it's any less pedophilic just because no penetration was happening. I am also slightly unsure if my memory of it being a korean thing is acurate, I found out about this a looong time ago and I'm not really sure how to search for it.
the description says this is a chinese fantasy so maybe it took some inspiration
hurted.....HURTED??? ok so this official is def being AI tled with no human involvement huh
or maybe english isn't the translator's first language?
That is pretty straightforwardly a human mistake, tho? MTLs may have nonsensical phrases but they remain grammatically correct. It was probably just an honest mistake
I actually wanted to ignore this whole thing cause it's annoying but here comes a really long reply I guess
1.a) Official tl at it's finest means employing professional tlers, and I'm being very truthful when I say it has zilch to do with a person's first language, as they actually have a diploma or at minimum a certificate at the given language/s
b) Sadly it's been years since the USA has been ignoring quality over profit in the field of translation, and many publishers actually use mtl and just pay people to edit it, because this way they can pay less for professional translators, while giving them insane deadlines, who then have to pull water out of a dry well in order to get some quality out of that mess, but that still doesn't mean the editors/translators are not people proficient in the language they are payed to write in
c) I have heard that more recently, even that has been omitted by some in favor of even cheaper AI tl and this completely erases human involvement
2. Not really a human mistake, considering that hurted is a very much used term online, and mtl has been using frequently used phrases for a while now, it doesn't actually have to be grammatically correct if it comes from mtl, or from AI, and I'd say people who use online tl services already know this, on a side note autocorrect has also been switched over to frequently used phrases on many platforms so if anyone is super reliant on this in their ggl docs or even in word, yeah don't trust that
Well, yes, official translators will ofc be proficient in whatever language they have been paid to translate for... but even tho I'm not sure why this is being brought up, this isn't an officially translated release. The third volume of this manga has yet to be released in English (comes out tomorrow, in fact), and the fan translator themselves leaves a message every now and then, so. Idk what to tell ya. I fear what AI is doing to our culture just as much as the next person, but I've genuinely never been given any reason to think this was ever a MTL. I know AI messes up "purposefully" at times, so my point about being grammatically correct was an overstatement, but it was mostly on the idea that there would be more signs were this an AI MTL; we haven't reached the point of having high grade AI at our disposal for pirated, ilegal translations, so as it stands it is incredibly more likely for this to be an honest mistake than for it to be machine garbage.
Not only are fan TLs at times made by non-native English speakers in varying degrees of proficiency, but poor verb inflection is something even native/fluent speakers can be prone to sometimes.
So he literally just pretended he was going to save those people, so he could get a good reputation? HA
I would think there has to be more to it that has not been revealed yet. Nadia and Glenn don’t seem the type to do this.
No, he did it to show the public that him and his knights genuinely did want to save them but couldn’t. Which is true. He wanted to lead the knights to go save the people but without the support of other knights from the other factions, it would be a suicide mission and would only get himself and everyone killed.
How the writer switched sexes, am super curious about it
It was explained. The God cursed him when they found out she wrote the book, & then also refused to let him go home.
What sort of person acts like that... And the woman who accepted it is insane too, both of them. The daughters he raised were ruined by him.
Not only the daughters but Souji too.
The artstyle change? Why???? The artist is the same so this fall in quality... No matter how common it is it's always super annoying.
To start with, if all the subjects are noble children left behind by their family, why pair them up and have the child that remained pick between 2, of which one is related and the other isn't? How come they are not delegated by blood relation from the beginning, if being related is so important? Why even rank them in the first place when that seems useless. It also doesn't seem like a smart idea to only have 2 children, which seems to be the case for most nobles, as you won't have an heir in case the one who is actually being raised as your kid dies or falls ill. The brainwashing of themselves is also weirdly executed, especially on the ex friend slash sister slash cousin -unclear because they use it interchangeably- who is now cast into the role of a snake, which falls flat with the previously established characterization, and instead of being a point of surprise it's just annoying due to how badly it was forced. To point out another thing, if he was supposed to become his brother's slave, how come another noble got him as their pick? Too many plot holes.
Omg I totally agree. I didn’t even think about that. Also, how did everyone just get brainwashed? I could just be totally lost, but I feel like they didn’t even mention how everyone got brainwashed. They just said that everyone did. Did the noble parents also know that their kids were being taken for the benefit of the other kid? I feel like they just threw that in because they had to give some sort of excuse on why the FL was taken as a child and the sister somehow got her as her magic source. But it really doesn’t make sense because the head magician guy didn’t even know until the female lead told him that she was gonna be the one to pick them.
I can not believe ppl pay money for this tl.... Is no one getting angry when they see this shit after they used real money to read it...
Fr, i had to double check to see if this is actually a fan translation. But the uploader is juju so this must be an official one right?? Did no one QC the translation??
From what I know, many platforms have decided to stop paying human beings and use exclusively AI, it's true that even in the past it was more common to use mtl and just pay people to edit it as a way of cutting cost and to 'save on time' even tho it sucked major ass for the editors because as we all know mtl is shit, and it did not really save time, they still did have a human being involved in the process, but now many have entirely gotten rid of people and are relying on AI tl programs, which is also just mtl and it's really doing bad shit to the quality. So long as a person does not show up in the credits as a translator, under the author and artist names, it means a person did not translate it.
Man that really sucks :((
But who did Irene end up married to? They call her Queen but wasn't she the sister of the king? Ik she was supposed to return so she could marry but am drawing a blank about it. Sorta sad we didn't get to see some of Arte's life in those 5 years in court.
If I am correct Irene is Catherine of Austria, who was Queen of Portugal. She was a wife of King John III. Her brother was the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. :)
Wasn't she preggo during that night raid? How come she doesn't have a baby bump after x months?
I thought the same!
