@Lacen did you smoke pot before translating this?

This chapter is damn hilarious

 

[Shyloser19]

Bruh, what's with the Gen z talk in this chap???? It's ok to read but... C'mon man @Lacen

@Lacen did you smoke pot before translating this?

I asked my online friend for advice, and this is what I got.

What exactly did you ask them because I think they were fucking with you

I asked him if this sentence is good or not. If he says it's not, I will change it. I asked a community, but only one person replied, even though many people there speak English well.

The problem is, this makes all of the characters' personalities wrong. Probably the only one this fits was the "mermaid".

Stick with the original script, man. None of these medieval era characters should speak with modern day slang, unless the specifically speak in slang. Your previous translation was already good and fitting.

Especially the dragon and the elf. They speak in a somewhat archaic way because theyre old (the elf is a bit more casual, but her age should still show in her word choices).

Wait, you read the original japanese language version?

Putting the genZ slang aside (which ruins the immersion built up so far btw), why is the small octupus the "son" but is referred to as "she"?

 

[RC1138Boss]

I am sorry to say this but this translation is HORRIBLE. As others have said those slangs really have no place in this story.

 

[qaxie]

I don't like this translation. You were doing just fine previously.

 

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

Yes, the GenZ-slang is... a bit much. It was easier to read then I would have guessed, but the characters sound like small time gangsters sometimes. An ancient dragon would probably not use "FR", even though it fits as a translation. There is a lot more to think about regarding translations than one might think.

 

[Zeromaru2]

not sure why you decided to totally change the tone between chapters, but it's terrible

 

[Lacen]

Okay, I'll just redo everything from scratch.

 

[MagnaDrake]

Just the first few chapters. Also, an official translation of this (up to chapter 30 something, I think) exist out there. They are translated as you would expect.

When I read it, that song popped up in my head.

Honestly, it does feel weird reading with modern slang.
