Oh man I'm laughing my ass off. $30? Bro I could translate it myself with Google Lens in realtime and get almost the same result as I see here. If it takes 5-10h for one chapter and you want $30 for the rest, you can invest the extra hour or two to try to make it fucking parseable in the target...
If this was paced any slower it would be a still image. Good lord, I check back for the first time in nearly 2 years and it's BARELY past where I was last time despite dozens of chapters.
