Am I just too smart? (｡•ᴗ-)✧
No no, but a lot of times I'll be reading the comments of a story and I'll see countless friends complaining about the translation.. meanwhile I read it just fine, this happens so much to the point I scroll back through sometimes to see if theres some poor wording or something?
Yes sometimes theres mistaken pronouns (most commonly because the original language doesn't have special pronoun distinction.) or there's issues with a sentence's wording or something.
But that's all stuff that I found easy to understand via the surrounding context (^～^;)ゞ, so easy in fact I didn't have any issues reading it and even failed to see the problem a few times without rereading several times whilst looking for errors.
(´ . . . `) My sanity is crumbling, is it auctally hard to read these translations or are most simply overreacting hoping for the next Shakespeare whilst giving the translator mere crumbs at best?
I'm not talking about issues with posting where its blurry or the translation is overlapping the original language. (Although I can tend to read those pretty decently as well, or at the least get a gist • ‿ ,•) I'm merely talking about the translation itself, the wording and such.
Honestly I'd simply take this as overreactions or even something akin to entitlement and seeking quality of the gods whilst giving practically no suitable sustainable things, but at one point in my youth I did test positively well in my reading level, so I simply haven't the faintest clue as to if this is just my reading comprehension talking or if it's auctally not difficult to read and people are simply very vocal about minor inconveniences here;;;
Then again, I suppose a lot of people here learned English to read the storylines, so perhaps that could be a motivator as to why the translation is a big complaint, as I'm sure their English comprehension may suffer a tad at context clues. ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭ Oh well, who knows!
The chapters are AI-translated, so obviously some people don’t like them altho I can read them just fine But what people are actually pissed about is the multiple uploads of the same chapters by different scan groups and then these scanlation teams having their own sites where they put chapters behind a paywall like they are the official release...like bro we’re already reading this shit illegally because we can’t buy the official chapters, and now you want us to PAY YOU for it??
fr they do everything they can to make us suscribe to their paywall ai website
well, while i do agree with your point, i actually read a lot of mtl’d novels and cultivation manhuas, and i don’t know if you’ve experienced this yourself, but mtl’d cultivation manhuas are the peak of slop translations. it’s genuinely something that leaves you brain-dead. the names of characters change every two sentences, and since cultivation stories have so many different realms, tiers, places and all that, with the names constantly changing, it becomes almost impossible to follow the plot. you don’t know who they’re talking about or what they’re talking about even after reading 400 chapters, and generally these stories have hundreds and hundreds more, so your brain just melts halfway through. everyone’s gender also keeps getting mistranslated. i swear, i once read a novel and only near the end found out that my favorite female character had actually been a guy this whole time because the pronouns had been mistranslated (╬￣皿￣)凸
but the thing is, with those kinds of poor translations, you miss an important part of the story even when you can understand the general meaning, that's the dialogue. dialogue is really important for storytelling because different characters can speak in completely different ways and mean different things even when they’re saying roughly the same thing. so much nuance is lost if it isn’t carefully translated. even if you can understand the mtl, you might still be missing deeper meanings if the translation is poor. (literary translation research has also found that machine and AI translation can interfere with meaning, pronouns, style, cultural context, and other discourse-level elements rather than simply producing awkward wording. i read a paper published in a UFMG journal about this just the other day lol) (⊙…⊙ )
but that’s not even my main issue with it. i think that’s still totally acceptable because it’s a free translation after all, so you shouldn’t expect too much. the problem is that you don’t know how much you can actually trust it.
recently, i was reading an mtl’d novel and noticed that the characters were acting a bit out of character in one chapter. so i went and bought the original novel on ridibooks, and found out that the chapter i had read had basically been rewritten by the ai. it wasn’t just translated badly, it was a completely new plot with the characters doing things that weren’t in the original story at all. (the novel was "the god of adlibs," chapter 37 on anubis scans)
and that’s one of the biggest issues with mtl, and it can happen with manhwa translations too. the problem with a poor translation isn’t just that you might not understand what’s being said, because like you said, you can often infer that from context. it’s that even if you do understand it, there’s no guarantee that it was actually what was written in the original. sometimes even human translators can mistranslate something and change its meaning, after all. but if the translation isn’t being done by someone who is actually reading the story and understands what is happening in it, whether it’s mtl or human-translated, it can make the whole thing pretty much unreadable for me. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Anyone remember the name of that one reincarnated into a kid's body?
Uh it started with a goddess who practically hunted like three adults from Japan, two girls and one boy iirc. The one girl is our MC she asks for simple stuff and a guardian to take care of her since they'll be younger, the other two follow her wishes iirc. The goddess is a jerk and says something like their useless// won't be poison or medicine to the world. Iirc MC ends up falling for her guardian, which seems okay in that world since lifespan is increased?? don't know!! Anyways shes a healer or something;;
Very much borderline if not explicitly sexual assault vibes a lot. Not just with the secondary characters but also the main characters. Numerous times she's said not to do something or says stop and yet he does so, despite her explicit requests otherwise. Quite disappointing and distasteful not to mention it's utterly disgusting to see.
She said no tentacles yet he did so swiftly afterwards, she even reminded him and he practically dismissed it yet still continued.
She said only within the bedroom yet he clearly continues doing intimate things outside of it as well, all whilst knowing doing so practically gives a "aphrodisiac"like affect, than uses that fact as a reason to continue.
It's still sexual assault even if they're married.
Plus it feels like in the most recent chapter at the moment (14?) that the author is trying to paint him as respectful with the memory loss thing, like he wouldn't lay his hands on her without permission? Did the author get backlash or something? Yet he has gone against her permission and wishes before and honestly probably will again.
Dude he's gross in my eyes now. Using his succubus race as a get out of jail free card for doing whatever he wants to her. Absolutely disgusting.
