I have only read 25 c (and dropped), so, maybe later the mage is described as another manipulative pervert, but in what i saw he just felt a disabled person.
Doesn’t it seems like he has some mental deficiency ? or at least being « atypical «?  He described or seen as having a lack of emotion, lack of self control, displaying very childish or autistic behaviors, and having very inappropriate responses to his surroundings, etc,
It also never felt like he was playing around, but more like he was both naive and sincere all the way. That seems like mental impairment to me ?
I could also think that he has some physical disability because he is prone to dangerous accidents (magic explosion)

That’s probably what makes me really feel bad about this story : the way the story is told is all about her being a victim, but i don’t understand, how it’s also brings so much hate upon him, for being something he never chose to be.
It’s all right poor her. I won’t deny. I do think of a few children one can really pity for having a sibling so sick, that they too, will never have a normal childhood. It’s hard and terribly unfair. But who would ever think of blaming the sick that situation ?

I don’t know if you have people with a disabled kid in your surroundings, but shifting responsibility to other kis is going to happen whether the adults push or not.
Brothers, sisters and friends, classmates are going to learn to live with it too, because another child with special needs is going to take a lot of efforts to manage or to take care of. They will change and adapt too.
It might seem unfair to carry such responsibility, but maybe this is also about how humans care about each others. Any of us could also one day, end up with such disability. So shouldn’t we write or talk about this type of subject with a more benevolent heart ?
It’s unfair and overwhelming if just one person is in charge, this is so true. But the answer certainly doesn’t lie in blaming the sick? Isn’t compassion is a better option, so that in never has to becomes just one person burden?

I am sorry, i know a lot of children and young adults with disabilities, from minor to truly catastrophic. I am truly schoked by the way the author is playing with her characters.

Peace everyone

Ok, the girl got some spunk, the guy is awkward cute and a good green flag, the are both so obtuse to their feelings, it can be sweet and fun for a while as it is

But why does he have yo be the duke of the north, brother of the emperor
And her, the missing daughter of the duke teacher mentor of the emperor (obviously)

Man seriously ?
Not even talking of her archetypal evil « abusive «  family, there was plenty enough to make a fun story with all these heavy titles
Don’t you grow tired of the same setup ?

Having worked professionally in the comics and the press industry, i am quite sensitive to plagiarism : but aren’t these comments lacking verification ?

Many mangas and webtoon are the efforts of a team.
There is more than one Japanese author who will gladly admit that they are doing the paneling and the story, but some assistants are better than them when it comes to to the art or design of their characters (GTO author is one of them, there’s no shame in that)
Paneling is a very complex task, as well as writing a story. An assistant job can be way bigger than one might thing.
Not all assistant will stay as assistant for life, for many, it’s a school to learn and grow, before becoming independent with your own title. When it happens, mentors are often helping their mentees, sometimes, even playing assistants for them.

Mangas being released in the press have an incredible deadline pressure.
I accompanied three mangaka ladies in a signing tour. All were recognized authors, and they were obviously long time friends, who they shared their strengths to keep their deadline. At the exhibition hall site, they would have their respective title pages going from one hand to the other, between signatures. Inking, shading, black parts, their three works were going back and forth for the greater good. As soon as they came back to the hotel, they were up to work : a team of giggling middle aged ladies in their frilly pyjama, with a glass of milk, the express envelopes ready to leave in the morning. They were incredible ! I never met more busy people !
This might seem very strange, but some team (like clamp ?) chose to put a common name forward as the creative process is vastly shared.
Basically we can’t know what happens in a studio ?

Now drawing with a style looking like another artist can be the product of working side by side for years: it’s hard to change the style you developed, and it’s not like you should stop working because your friend or mentor died ? Changing can only be a process, but on still need to eat ?
It’s might also be hard to know if the so call style is the produce of one, or the result of sharing passion and insight as a team, bringing betterment to all ?

Drawing like someone, can also be considered an homage, in some cultures. Obviously not in ours, but even so, some artists are mandated to work like their predecessors (Asterix, the smurfs or Lucky Luke european comics survived their creator for example, and without sticking to emblematic characters, some publications were choosing artists with the same visual vibe for their magazine)

Lastly having met some disputes between authors about their artwork, they were definitely less about the art style (rare to truly imitate), than entire paneling sections (camera angles, succession of framing, etc)
In this case, webtoon are problematic : paneling has lost immensely and is very poor, so gimmicks and look alike sequences are more systematic

I am not saying there’s no issue here, but there really might be none. And if there’s none, it could be very harmful to the author of this title.
But even if there is, it’s obviously much more complicated than we might ever be able to comprehend.

The assistant of a deceased author probably suffered way more loss and grief than the readers we are. If you imagine the author was a decent human being, they not only spent lots of time together, but also shared creative process and endured deadlines with lots of tension, as a team. There’s no way people who shared such strong moments would not build strong bonds together. It must have been devastating.

My knowledge come from Japanese Artists, but I believe the workflow might not be too different.
Peace

Seriously, i think the characters would look more exhausted if they had gone on a shopping spree ? Did they play rock paper scissors to win their battle ?
What about heartfelt reunion ? It’s so anticlimactic that any other reason for a long trip would have been better (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

In the real world, getting beaten hurts like hell and it is long to heal, if even possible. Beaten women and children end up in hospitals or dead every day from family abuse.
I simply cannot agree with the romanization of domestic violence : the MC deliberately put herself in situations that could get her killed and is regularly displayed as indifferent or even enjoying the situation . This is simply insane.
It is ridiculous and dangerous.
Ok i get it, because she gets revenge, it’s all worth it ? It’s part of the process that makes her cool ?
Or is it ?
You’re not stronger when you’re missing half your front teeth or need surgical restoration to fix your nose and face
Fear doesn’t live you, even if some revenge you get

Knowing real victims who barely survived such situations i am at loss when i see how little is made from situations that are way too real for too many people

I love fiction, but i wish writers would not use abuse as a free ticket to make easy stories. I don’t say no one should talk about it, but at least, shouldn’t there be some consideration of the consequences of such tales ?
Safety matters and should always come first
Peace

Honestly she could have at least tried to save more people :/
Even in her own household she only tried to save one maid, not mentioning the village, she really gave up before trying, it feels rather evil :/

Many thanks, you’re amazing for helping us learn about and comfortably read this nice title :D
I see nothing displeasing about your translation choices, anyway it’s not like we have dungeon items on our shelves, so it’s fine, even if it gets a little funny

This is surprisingly good, but c 12 is missing :)

Am i the only one thinking the reunion of eleder looks like a figurine display ?

Do they finally get rid of the curse / poison ?
I really want our mains characters to havr a sweet relationship without fear …

At the original translation site https://vofeg.com/series/the-s-class-hunter-doesnt-want-to-be-a-villainous-princess/
No crappy commercials either
You can also find more in french, but full of pop ups

Agathe created a topic of Mated To The Ruthless Alpha

I’ sorry, i didn’t read this specific title, but i read the summary and it’s plenty horrific
How come it has such a huge rating and people are so tolerant of abuse when you add omegaverse or yaoi to the description ?
If it was any usual romance, everyone would just cringe at the idea it can end with both the offender and the victim having a « happy ending «  ?

I am also not sure of what to think of the surrogacy thing

But at least, when it comes to abuse, i was so relieved to see less and less of chinese josei translations that are based on toxic relationships that i can’t figure why they would be welcomed when you change the gender of the protagonist :/

Do you think Nadia is female ? male ? Both ? Or can switch ?

Agathe created a topic of The Genius Actor’s Aura

Is there a mistake in the upload ?

Agathe created a topic of Chitra Webtoon

Whoever picked the translation, and whoever uploaded it, thank you !
While It might not be perfect, it can be understood mostly and it’s way better than loosing that very peculiar and interesting title!

I can never understand why so many people are upset about something there get for free, out of the good will and effort of someone sharing their work :/
Peace

39 is from another title
Thanks for the great work anyway ;D

It feels awfully familiar
Yet again, it’s not like a stuttered avoiding a bad wedding is anything new … but it still feel like something i read not too long ago ?

Agathe created a topic of The Problematic Prince

Seriously, she’s nice, why does she have to endure and more
I read the spoilers and i am appealed : abuse don’t get better, abusrs don’t become kind, PTSD is not a myth
There are so many women victims of abuse, whrn will writers take responsibility and stop making romance out of pain?!
