When I Stopped Being Your Shadow

Ongoing | Bongyee,Rana | 2022 released

REVIEW TIME! TL;DR at the end for anyone alergic to more than two sentences. The Good: - The plot might be basic but it's still interesting. It's kept very casual and doesn't want to be some grand, epic story that is filled with big happenings at every corner. The Bad: - The writing is HORRIBLY rushed. The author jumped all intricate details, which makes me thing whoever converted this into a comic doesn't have enough insight in storytelling and hence just left anything out that makes a story intricate and immersive. Which is likely also why the Duke so seemingly randomly and from one moment to the other just BAM falls for the MC. This is not good storytelling tbh. Much too rushed and it makes me loose interest despite the story and characters being nice. - ALSO; THE UPLOADING. Please, PLEASE stop rushing and check if pages are uploaded in order or twice behind one another or even entirely jumbled. The Ugly: - The translation....REALLY needs an overhaul. Nothing is consistent. One moment grammar is perfect and in the next speech bubble it's bad Google Translator shennanigans. Please, for the love of anything ever holy, at least try to check for grammar mistakes and keep names consistent (how tf did Duke Sussex turn into Mr Sechs Kies!?!?!). It's like people don't even want to string together chapters and just half-heartedly throw the raws into google translate and then call it a day and pat themselves on the shoulder. Please put in some effort, and if you lack some stuff it takes to translate things: Just leave it to other people. Because bad translations are often just left laying around instead of being replaced with good ones and that just makes people turn away from a story that's now too much of a chore to read. TL;DR: My overall judgement is: It's nice but I find it unreadable due to the messy pages, bad translations and rushed writing. I'll half-abandon this and only flip through pages from now on to see how it continues for a while, but I'll never recommend this due to all the issues.
