I really wouldn't call myself a picky reader but damn, I really hate this one. The male lead is pretty much a jerk and when he's not a jerk, he's busy being the most boring male character I have ever read about. There is no substance to him besides being a rich dude. No depth to his character whatsoever!
Also, I wish I could say something about his secretary but she just feels like a cutout character to me. Pretty much all the characters come off really flat and the plot is really cheesy. I stopped reading on chapter eight, couldn't even bring myself to finish until the tenth chapter, I was bored and annoyed to death
She pisses me off. This story started out with a really good premise but the flow of the storytelling is just terrible, I swear.
╥﹏╥ and what's up with female characters always having a crush on a male lead that saved her when she was a child? So she suddenly became interested in him after finding out he protected her when she was younger? That doesn't make any senseeee, you literally were about to reject himmm
I have genuinely never read anything that terrified me as much as this story does
i read ks the moment it came out, i remember because my whole grade did but it wasn't really that scary. Like, seriously it was really good but something about this manwha is just a different kind of creepy, it just feels like the stake is so much higher than ks, because yoonbum immediately got caught and in this one ... he's still running around, his anxiety is still ongoing and there is just no certainty what is going to happen next ... also it started out as him deceiving other people and now the cards suddenly got turned which turned everything into this little cat and mouse game and aghh idk its so perfect
I don't mean to criticize the translator, I just want to give a few tips for the next chapter they translate:
1. Please make sure, that the sentences are grammatically correct next time.
2. Don't be shy to edit the sentences to ensure they make more sense. No matter how much you want the translation to be accurate, I think it would be better to just ensure that it's clear what's going in.
3. That font is not really bad, but I think the Comic Sans one is what most people are used to and it's also easier on the eyes.
4. You can drop the Chinese honorifics, since they're really confusing. Just use the English word for it like "Hyung" instead of "Brother" or adress the person in question by his name.
Sorry, if I came off a bit harsh ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I just thrive off criticism and I hope you do, too! Thanks for the translation today, I had tons of fun!
I don’t agree with your 4. Honorifics titles are very important if you want to understand relationships and hierarchy between characters. Sometimes one change of honorific title can means a lot, for example going from san to kun in japenese. It’s very subtle so going with English words wouldn’t translate it well.
Yes, but calling a character brother even though they're not related is just confusing, it's way more comprehensive if they dropped it entirely and specified who they are talking about or write out the honorifics in english letters like people do with the korean word "hyung" and "oppa", even though they can mean brother it's also known that it can apply to other cases as well. The translator could just explain what the word is used for and it will stick with the reader. Should have myself more clear, my fault. ^^ Like, I said: I really don't mean any harm, she did a great job but she could always do better, I was just trying to maximize her potential.
Thank you so much ! And of course not, at the contrary, I hope the readers came to me and help me to improve !
And for the honorifics, Hyung and Oppa also mean « Brother » but in Korean, i’ll just explain what brother and sister means in the Chinese society in the next chapter ( I completely forgot to do that, my bad )
I really don't mean to hate, but the last few chapters were really boring. I always perk up when I get a notification for this but end up being disappointed because there is still no progression in the story. The two main leads barely spent any time together and we sacrificed over ten chapters each on that stupid newspaper and dress drama slash dilemma. Can they just fast forward to the wedding or give us some more scenes with Killian? Some crumbs is all I'm asking for at this point!
Same. I’m worried about Larl and how the dress is going to turn out and don’t really want to hear about anything else. It’s been dragging for a minute but I thinks it’s just for the moment until we actually get to the wedding and reception. Keep ya head up, we’ve made it this far.
The wedding starts chapter 45.
Same. I really hope that B won't mess up his dress but we know she will. Unless she underestimates him and assumes he will fail (fingers crossed). Also I heard the book was smutty so we're missing a lot here
It's called calm before the storm but it's a hella long one
I let out the ugliest laugh
Yep it's too long
