Clearly they weren't looking at the right people to wield the sword.

 

[Shmeep]

"It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw papier-mâché."​

 

[rudezki]

How is that too big? Did they make it from iron? It's no longer a prop then!

I forgot that the webcomic version of this was already over, but it's still nice to "reread" this and see the changes.

Phrases like "you seem troubled since morning" need some proofreading.

what would be a better translation in this instance? i'm new to this and it seemed good enough (neither english nor japanese is my first language).

the original text is:
どうしたんですか？ 今日は朝からずっと悩んでるみたいですけど

i just checked rn on google translate and it translated to:
"What's wrong? You seem to have been worried since this morning."

is "seem troubled" not correct english? (if yes then i have zero respect for the rules of this language)

This is my personal take (and just to be clear, English isn't my first language either), but "you've been looking troubled since this morning" sounds better - "been looking" implies the state of troubledness is still ongoing.

 

[RagedPranav19]

@asian_weeb @freedomseekr I've updated the line to "You've looked a bit down since this morning". I hope this is better. Please continue pointing out anything wrong, thanks

I guess if you want an explanation, the problem is that you're mixing tenses. "Seem troubled" is grammatically correct, but it's in present simple tense. Adding the "since", however, turns the sentence into present perfect tense. "You seem troubled today" keeps the whole thing in present simple. "You have seemed troubled since morning" makes the whole thing present perfect.

Oh, and also, using just "morning" comes across as somewhat stilted and formal, while "this morning" sounds more natural and casual.

So the prez has a large sword and big balls.

Wait, I thought this was a yuri work...

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Cloud Strife wants that sword back.

 

[Duribu]

I had honestly forgotten about the manga rival/fan and her absolutely insane clothing.

I like her look.

 

[readersRequiem]

Lock in like Rohan, Tadokoro.

I KNEW I'd seen this before...

 

[radstylix]

I KNEW I'd seen this before...

I mean, I actually did forget the webcomic version existed 😅

It's easy writing fictional heroes when you've got your real one right there.
