JUST AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM THE GREAT MOON

- Me when ragebaiting

learn to take criticisms. Worked as an official editor and typesetter for over a year, as i mentioned in my first ever comment on this site.

example for better smoother versions or errors:

My little sister, "whom I thought" was dead… is alive.
In the darkness, I had to wait a very long time for ‘my turn’.
"survivee"
I'm truly grateful to him
black goat->black lamb
Now everything finally started clicking into place like a puzzle, and my doubts started fading away (wrong tone) -> All my questions finally clicked into place, and the doubts weighing on me disappeared/faded away.

and etc

If i was rage baiting, i would have told something along the line of to do a better job if you are gonna be dono begger for a "manhwa". Asking for donations for three diff groups is actually pretty lame, considering all positions are "non-profit".

Our knight is going to have the whole country's military force next time we check up on him.

I'm curious how he's going to work around the "once a day" limit to his magic

This is a bit off topic but, I want to ask.
Do you have some tips on how to spot "Errors" like that from someone who wants to learn how to edit/typeset? It's interesting to me how that last example was worded only a bit differently yet it felt better.

My first question would have been “Why exactly did you wait until NOW to show me my sister is alive???” I mean I’d still be grateful, and he'd possibly wave it off as the great plan, but still!

Okay, it’s a little criminal to use two whole ass pages for magical effects. Bro was trying to make his deadline.

I know that snake lady is poison, but sexy redhead ara energy has been drilled into me from a young age.

It would be easy, just look for one that "feels better". Focus on the flow, make sure the tense and tone is appropriate for scene. And for some reason, non native speaker Proofreaders are better for this.
You can trying joining solo translators servers, as they need the most help on that part. It would be win win on both parts. You gain experience and they get help!!
For editing, just get the creative cloud trial indefinitely. 14 days each with extension.
Typesetting, i find photoshop a bit bulky and annoying. We had a custom software where we could just place numbers on boxes and upload the translators text (which was in an specific json format), which would result in all text being placed on the boxes in seconds. Then we would just change the font.
But since I don't think its public, I would suggest use pixlr editor. Best for typesetting and what I used when i used to fanTL.
And I have a folder of 5000 fonts, all were paid for commercial use by my prev employer, I will upload a link here, if i can find it! Good luck on your journey ^_^ Try applying to english official sites as they are mostly short on manpower, after you get better. They pay decent
bit too much yap.

1. My little sister I thought was dead…” -> whom I thought was dead
Both are correct, but I prefer mine It's more natural, and yours is more formal. Up to preference.

2. I waited in the darkness for a very long time, for my ‘turn.’
I agree, I should've written "..." instead of "," my bad. You just prob didn't get the tone I was going for.

3. survivee
Oh no... a typo, I'm so sorry.

4. I'm truly grateful to him
I originally wrote "He's someone I'm truly grateful to.", but it was changed in 2nd QC. Anyway, both are good, there's nothing wrong with it, up to preference.

5. black goat -> black lamb
The korean in ch2 used black goat. This ch used a different term, which was weird, so until the author clarifies the meaning, I kept it black goat for consistency, not a mistranslation.

6. All my questions finally clicked into place, and the doubts weighing on me disappeared/faded away.
The korean is: "모든 의문이 퍼즐처럼 맞춰 사라진다" -> I asked chatgpt to translate: "All my questions fit together like a puzzle and disappear."
No offense, but my line is just fine. Just because you rewrote my original interpretation doesn't make my line any more "wrong", not to even mention that you left out the puzzle imagery, even though the background shows the puzzle.
Basically, most of what you listed comes down to personal style preferences rather than actual errors.

As for the "learn to take criticisms" -> I accept the criticism if it's absolutely fair, but read back what you wrote... you jumped in, got weirdly triggered, and started throwing stuff around without giving any examples. That’s why it just comes across as ragebait.

"I worked as an official editor and typesetter for over a year" -> Cool, I’ve been doing this for over 3 years in a non-official setting, I guess that makes me worthless.

"Asking for donations for three diff groups" -> When did we ever? But even if I did, I'm no saint, so why wouldn't I accept donations for something I spend hours on daily?

Lastly, if you prefer some other translation, that's fine. It's not just us who are translating the manhwa anyway, why not just read Asura's version? Or Vortex?

Funny, that this dude started all this just because I dared to be proud a bit, over a fantranslation... I wasted my time answering.
