[jnoltz16]

idek wtf is going on anymore

 

[Mathias]

Well that's going to hurt everyone...

I've moved onto reading the raws as this manga is currently up to Chapter 208. This might sound rude, but if you're going to release the chapters in groups, at least spend the time to proofread what you're releasing. As usual, these chapters are filled with grammatical mistakes that are sometimes quite jarring. How hard is it to run your translation through AI to double check your work if you're not a native English speaker?

 

[Catmangun]

Oshwel 😡😡😡

 

[Ryuga05]

....power scale be damned in this read. How many OP Lunatic Bastards are in here that the only way to thwart them is that singular mf. 🤦

 

[Kaarme]

Well, things so big so fast that it's hard to imagine that anyone but Akira could solve it anymore. Especially when the new singularity is so overly proud of himself that he's begging for getting destroyed by Akira. Unless these fellows somehow manage to piss off Aria herself.

"This might sound rude"

Yeap, it sounded very rude because it sounded as "You're already being lazy by launching 3 together, you should at least make no mistake so go use AI".

I'm just happy to have someone translating! (and I didn't even notice the grammatical mistakes)

If you're going to consistently ask for donations, then at least put some effort into proofreading the translations. It's been like this for quite a while, and previously, there have been mistranslations serious enough to affect the story that people pointed out, yet those errors continued for 30+ chapters.

As for not noticing the grammatical mistakes, that's fine, but it doesn't mean they aren't there or that they don't detract from the reading experience for others. There's a difference between appreciating someone's willingness to translate a manga and overlooking consistently poor work.

And I never suggested that releasing three chapters at once was lazy. My point was that if you're going to release chapters in batches, there's no reason not to take the time to proofread them first.

Well "i will let her live so she can have my baby."
translation: "I am going to rape her until she gets a baby."

You make sound like asking for donations is a problem. Couldn't you adjust the donation to the translation quality?

 

[cesar024]

Touch the mama‘s mc is a so bad move for an antagonist….
With this Akira will take is decision for kickass everybody

There's nothing inherently wrong with asking for donations. But when someone consistently solicits financial support for their work, it is not unreasonable to expect some basic quality control. That doesn't mean readers are entitled to professional-grade translations, but asking for donations doesn't make someone's work immune to criticism either.

And I'm not talking about the occasional typo. I'm talking about incorrect verb tenses, broken sentences, and mistranslations that have persisted for dozens of chapters despite readers pointing them out.

As for adjusting my donation, how exactly would that address any of these problems? My criticism isn't about the cost. It's about the quality of the translations and the apparent lack of proofreading.

Where did you found raws for 206 207 and 208? Can you please tell me?

Is the problem a translation issue or a English grammar issue? Separate from the translation quality, I'm struggling to find any significant issues that affect actual readability.

Where did you found raws for 206 207 and 208? Can you please tell me?

It's on the Kimicomi website (not 208). Just search the Japanese name of the series.

Both, actually, although my immediate criticism concerns the English grammar and lack of proofreading.

Just off the top of my head, in Chapters 178 and 179, we get "Did you just... took pity and went easy on me?!" and "Did you just... went easy on me?!" Both are grammatically incorrect. After "did," the verbs should be in their base form: "take" and "go," not "took" and "went."

As for actual mistranslations, I pointed out over a year ago that the translator repeatedly used "Bloody Vines" when the katakana clearly indicated "Bloody Finesse."

These aren't isolated incidents, either. They've been occurring for a long time. And while you can generally figure out what someone is trying to say, that doesn't excuse consistently poor grammar or inadequate proofreading. Something doesn't have to be completely incomprehensible to be badly written. There have also been far worse instances where the dialogue was so badly translated that readers couldn't figure out what was being said. If I have time later, I'll dig up an example.

So this is the infamous turning point 1... Oh wait, wrong series.
