I like Divine Spirit Sect. Not only is it the most accurate of the three in terms of its connotations and meaning, it's also the shortest. Chinese names tend to turn into a huge mouthful when translated, so I am of the opinion that brevity is the soul of wit when deciding on such names. In...

"Sifu" would be more appropriate than "sensei", as they're Chinese.

@Call-Me-Captain He's at a crossroads here, one that's been building ever since he cured his mother. The central question is what kind of person he's going to be. Is he going to be someone who stays at home to protect his family, who conserves his strength to protect his own? Or is he going...

I think this translation is wrong. From the other translations available (which are poor quality but in this case I think are more accurate), Chae Moon Juu isn't genuinely trying to talk down Lee Ho-Geuk, and his inner monologue is talking about how he'll benefit if he can provoke them into...

@herausui All Melissa has to do is to stick him again with her sword to keep him from using it, so it's pretty simple for her to overpower him at this point. Plus Nine can kick his ass now.

Dark theme isn't only better for webpages.

Addendum to the Culture Note: It's more common in China today for it to be rude to accept a gift immediately. So you have to do this whole show when given a gift where you act like you can't possibly accept the gift, it's too much, etc, and the person insists, and then you refuse again, and...

@Maulden He even has the potatoes in the front!

...the title means "Demon Seed", where the hell did they get Fetus Demon?

@sherlock0790 @Bluedudu Also, if he killed the general, that general might have been replaced by someone actually competent. A stupid officer on the other side is good for you, why destroy that advantage?

Feng Jiu getting all Kylo Ren on us.

@MangaSimp101 This kind of thing isn't so simple. When you have issues with self esteem, you start from a conclusion of "I'm not good enough" and work backwards, because that's an assumption that's been reinforced by a lifetime of experiences. You wind up quickly dismissing people who tell you...

The problem with this fight is that the weight it's supposed to have doesn't match the buildup it's gotten. If you need to have a flashback in the middle of your fight in order to explain why the fight is important, then you really screwed up your pacing.

Spoiler from the LN (Read at your own risk! If you don't want to be spoiled and enjoy the mystery, DO NOT READ THIS!)

@Mikiri The Scanlators tend to translate a bunch of them and release them in batches.

@RedlineAlchemist It's definitely a wuxia thing lol.

@Kwel To be fair, every time a man steps in, it's portrayed as an instance of her status and political power coming into play. And since that social power comes through military accomplishments, and given the kind of society she lives in, that really can only happen in the form of a man...

@Gooseknonopeace "Then your parents would be able to live comfortably on the Mariana Islands, no?"

Rereading this now, I'm just now realizing she watching Legend of the Condor Heroes on TV.

I gotta say, the official translation is steaming hot garbage. Like, barely better than MTL. For instance, the Chinese term for healing in a video game translates literally to "add blood," so the official translation has characters shouting "add blood!" in the middle of a fight instead of...
