Life is kicking me down again. My hard drive fell, and now is at a 37 percent health rating... if I don't move my files now, I risk losing years of data. I am going to multi-task organizing my memory, and doing the translation, because thankfully my translation setup is entirely separate from my main pc. It will still unfortunately dramatically slow down my progress >0> I'm on page 9-10 of fixing up the dialogue of the final draft, and then I only have the SFX to translate and place. I also want to write a personal note about my thoughts, and feelings, as well as some personal head canons that I have gathered after heavily delving into the psychology of the characters. I do however want to wait till after I translate the authors note, because it could include a detailed Q&A and Artwork of their future in some way. So I will probably pair my unofficial translator note after my translation of the author's note.

I can confirm the last chapter is cute as all hell, and wraps up the story perfectly without leaving too many loose ends (Trying not to spoil anything, while still hyping up the ending). Also, I usually don't cry when watching or reading anything, but the ending of Can't Think Straight has become so deeply personal to me that I can't help but tear up over it. I've spent almost 2 years emotionally connecting with them, so it feels difficult to let go. I honestly feel like I don't want to finish it so quickly, and maybe that's why I am taking extra time to translating the panels meticulously, because subconsciously I know, that once it's posted, I lose all my previous attachment to it. I don't think I've every felt like this before, even when translating my previous unofficial translation's final chapter (Missing Love- A Married Man 58-78) . It's not a bullseye comparison, but the song "Death bed (coffee for your head)" comes to mind. That song perfectly conveys that feeling of wanting to prolong something that's enviable from ending (Giving her boyfriend coffee to keep him awake, so he doesn't pass away) It sounds like such a fluffy song until you read the lyrics... jeez.

But, back to the main reason for my comment, I just got this hard drive barely over a year ago and it was hella expensive (7TB of space expensive), and I am positive I never paid for a warranty... Not so fun fact I just learned, hard drives are non repairable once they have a low health score, so it's garbage now. The worst part is that my other hard drives with lower memory, and that I've had for years, are at perfect health levels... so not fair T^T. I can't afford a new hard drive right now, so I am having to compress my files down to split between 3 other hard drives. The amount of time, stress, and energy to get through this while being on a ticking clock for not only posting the chapter, but moving the files before the hard drive dies is legit going to make my mental health worse... I need a drink for this shit lol

thank you for your hard work!! ik how hard it is to tl, cl/rd, and type set everything yourself so just wanted to let you know you’re doing an amazing job!

Ohhh sweetheart that sounds awful. I hope you can sort your hard drive situation. That sounds so stressful! And I totally get you not wanting to post the last chapter. I sometimes delay reading the final chapters of a manhwa as well. But I guess all good things come to an end whether we like it or not╥﹏╥. Good luck with everything that's going on (⌒▽⌒)

Thank you for your service finishing this to the end ヾ(☆▽☆) i look forward to your next series to translate, fighting!

Thank you for all you do! I saw the raws of the final chapter and epilogue today, so I’m really looking forward to your translation. But don’t rush it, we appreciate all you do!!

I just skimmed through the art, and omg this is going to be tough to translate if I am legit already crying over it. I'm going to miss these two so much T------T

I laughed so hard in your memes
I will also print Yoon Jaehyuk with the ring

thanks hugs!! hope you're not getting too much trouble from the impatient readers! if you are, screw them!

Not at all, people are amazing. I am more of the one beating myself up over it lol

It's okay, we can wait!

Take your time, hugs!!

Take your time and thank you as always for the hard work! (⌒▽⌒)

(=・ω・=)

Issok mi love we will wait patiently take your time~

Thank you for all your hard work, especially given everything you have going on.
I'm too dumb to figure out how to DM/PM people on this site, apparently.
But do you have a Kofi or anything like that?
Your translations are the highlight of my week whenever they drop, so I'd love to "buy you a coffee" or whatever.
If you know how to direct/private message MangaGo users, please feel free to respond in a direct message to me if you don't want to publish that info in a highly visible location.
Also, I do plan to support the author too, by buying this series.
I'm trying to figure out how to do that, so if you (or anyone who sees this) know(s) how best to do that (e.g., waiting until an official publisher translates to English, buying digital versions of the Korean version, etc.), I appreciate any insights you (or anyone) might have!

NUUUUUUU I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON ╥﹏╥ You do a lot for us so don’t stress about uploading it so fast. You do a lot and we appreciate you <3

We are all adults here, and I don’t really care either way, so I don’t mind being public about it. I am in a lawsuit with an internet/ cell company because they improperly installed a internet wire, which lead to a recycling truck snagging it and it becoming a 7ft high tight trip wire, from one side of the street to the other. I turned on the road on my e-bike, heard someone on the sidewalk yelling “holy shit, watch out”, turned my head to look at him, and hit the wire dead on. I obviously crashed out and smashed my head on the pavement so hard my helmet shattered. I hit the wire on chest level just below the neck, so if it was even a tiny bit higher it would have hit my throat. The internet company who installed the wire have claimed full fault, but until they find out the full rundown of all medical symptoms, I can’t hire or a lawyer or claim for a settlement amount. I am fine and can function normally for the most part, can walk and go about daily life, but I do experience dizzy spells, intense headaches, stress caused head flares (I legitimately almost passed out because I missed a bus, a little after the accident lol), halo tension around my head that doesn’t stop, and my neck is consistently stiff and is painful to move. It does slightly affect working on the chapters because it is hard to lean forward to clean for long periods of time, and if I hyper focus for two long I get horrible ice pick headaches that force me to take breaks. The things that aren’t a big deal are that my left eye and left arm feel like it has less nerve recognition singles to my brain, but I haven’t lost normal functions like sight or grip strength at all. The biggest problem from this accident is that I permanently lost all sexual feeling, I have zero signals to the brain, and it could also mean I’m infertile now, but I will never know unless I try (unlikely lol), because they don’t don’t check unless you are actively trying with no results… other than having to update anything medical to my claim representative via email, nothing is happening in the legal end and could take 2 years to see any compensation. So yeah, that’s everything. I didn’t lose my ability to walk, translate or die, so it definitely could have been worse, but I still want a hella big claim amount. Unrelated to the accident, but I am going to a specialist because I get the same stabbing pain as Garam under my rib and it has been ongoing for a year, while I’ve just ignored it lol The author has convinced me to actually care about it and not let my ridiculous pain tolerance dictate whether I should care or not.

Man that’s crazy ╥﹏╥ You have the AO3 curse but for translators. I’m glad this story has helped you in such a real way. Also Jesus Christ thank god you wore a helmet ╥﹏╥

If they're claiming you can't lawyer up until they know the full extent of your injuries, you might try anonymously posting about your experiences on one of those legal advice subreddits (try to be as vague/generic as possible so that whatever you post can't be linked to your actual legal cases) to see if anyone has some helpful insights regarding your situation and what rights / options you have.
You might also check with anyone who lives near where it happened to see if they have Ring or dashcam footage (though it might be to late for that if footage is overwritten as the driver travels).
