Thank you so much for the support!
By flare Iām pretty sure it means as in the murder wants them to know they are there. Like make their presence known so that the others know they are in danger. Mc is probably referring to when in some games the murder can be sadistic in wanting everyone to feel scared by their presence and likes to watch them go crazy.
When he says that only the killer would know he meant there could be a variety of other reasons why the killer did what they did. Even the mc doesnāt know the killers motive bc in chapter one he was complaining how the killer didnāt have one so even he is unaware of it which is the fun part bc normally in stories like this the mc knows everything about the antagonist of what story they entered. I love the twist in the fact that this time the mc isnāt as omniscient and is also having to learn a lot about the antagonist. Itās just super refreshing yk
Yeah exactly.
I was meaning that flare in Korean probably means both a real light up flare and also a less literal meaning of flaunting, showing off, making yourself known, etc.
But in English flare as a word doesn't have that extra meaning on its own. So it seemed like the translation apps you used probably translated it as a literal flare because translation apps don't always know slang or lingo etc.
So to get the same idea across in English as the Korean text it might make more sense for the sentence to be something like:
"It could be a kind of warning, or the killer could be taunting us."
The rest of the translation was really smooth and easy to read though!
Yeah I like that the antagonist is really mysterious for motive. I'm really curious about how the whole story goes~!

You're doing a great translation! Take your time and keep at it!
The only part that confused me a little was when he says the body could be a warning or a "flare" only the killer would know. Flare is probably the direct translation, but has another meaning.
Flare maybe means he's put the body there to show off or flaunt the murder. Since a real flare lights up and grabs your attention.
