I saw the machine translation and couldn't read it. It just doesn't make sense most of the time, I can't stomach it. The words are the grammar are all over the place. I appreciate your work, both the manga and the novel. It's ok if u r slow. I will just wait. Plz don't be discouraged. I will be sad if you stopped translating.
Even thought I didn't read anything of this story beside what's posted here, I'm sure the google translated version will make me laugh at the discussion more than enjoy the story.
If this isn't going to be dropped than I'm happy (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Don't stress yourself, health always comes first.
Nuuu! Google translation sucks and nothing make sense!!! Thank you for working so hard for us. We will wait patiently for your updates (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I completely understand your decision to make other projects your priority, and thank you so much still translating this series. I can’t imagine how stressful it must be to try translating both works consistently. I can’t thank you enough!!
I want to read in a blackbox.. easy to understand. but I decided to read it after it completed.
thanks for all your hard work Avacado! i personally love your translations and wait for each chapter of the novel & manhua! you have all my love (▰˘◡˘▰)
Uwwuu you did a great good Avocado ~~~
Avacado - thank you for your translation I did read what I could find and was far superior to the ... other that I finally had to give up on. Thanks for the Discord link. I'm sorry people can be such jerks I know that getting these stories ready for those of us who only speak the one language is hard work and usually a work of love. I for one am grateful for the quality, and the other ... well there's just no comparison. Thank you again.
I much preferred your translations. Ive tried to translate a comic using mtl and it brought me more questions than answers. X'D waiting is no problem for me. I want to help but.. i tried to help before and it did not go that well--my skills werent fit. (Drawing vs photoshop skills for cleaning mangas.)
Plus..what can i help when im not fluent in chinese. QAQ. Ill be here for moral support.
Hey guys,
I'm Avocado, and if you are not aware, I am the sole translator for BOTH the manhua and the novel of this series, and tons more. But without much ado, I'll go straight into the main reason why I am making this announcement.
Spoilers through the google translation of this novel has been posted relentlessly since the moment this series started and people became aware of the novel. (FYI I have no problem with spoilers, as long as it is tagged) Also increasing when a MTL site has released all 200+ chapters of this novel. (MTL = Machine Translation)
This has significantly impacted my motivation to continue working on this novel.
Since then, I have noticed that many of you much more prefer the MTLed site that hosts the google translated version of this novel.
I understand that my translations for the novel are slow and there are even rumors that I have stopped translating this series as a whole. (Not true, never was)
As much as I would love to continue translating this novel officially, I have realized that I, a human who isn’t translating as a full time job, cannot compete with a machine.
Many people prefer a fast read rather than a more accurate translation, and I can confidently say that *MTLed content makes mistakes*, and often as well.
This is an issue that affect tons of other non-profit translators who does this, just like me. But there is nothing we can do to stop it.
We will never be able to catch up to the speed of a computer.
Ultimately, this does NOT mean that I will stop translating the novel, but it does mean that I will no longer take this novel as a top priority project amongst many others. (I have learned that the quality does not matter in face of the quantity, seeing that this series is over 200+ chapters long.) The translated version of of the Manhua will remain updating, as of this post, on Mangadex weekly. (And then reposted here even though our thingy says not to, I won't tell I promise, teehee!)
