Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to - Ch. 273 - Fabiniku Ojisan and One Red Thread

In regards to the sniping thing, if you were truly unaware of the standard, thats not your fault. but if you were sincerely a fan and wants to respect the LED TL-er just send a cleaned and typeset next chapter to them, say this is a proof/offer of collab and let them edit and post it.

TL team/posters can collab and if they come to agree to share the workload, maybe release would be faster rather than it being a sloppy race of bad quality but quicker releases.

The recent rise of AI/MTL translations are really making people sceptical of newly emerging 'sniper's is what it is.

complainers forget it was free from fans for fans from the get go.

I had no idea that this was a way to make my intentions clear. Thank you! I can read Japanese at an N5 level if I am being generous, so I have to spend a long time to produce anything I have confidence in. That is to say, I'm not sure that I would do much to improve release speeds lol. Regardless, I will be very happy to read LED Goddess Scans release with or without my collaboration. I really like their work and, having spend a small amount of time doing what they have done for some time, am excited to see how they interpret the original text for these chapters ah, I didn't see that they were already out, fantastic!

MTL has gotten much better over the years, but for the most part I think it's just gotten better at naturally phrasing its output. I have not seen it yet catch the nuance of authorial intent or convey double meanings in phrasing, so it lacks the ability to convey any depth in the narrative. It is also still important to verify that what it gives you is accurate in the first place, which just involves doing the work of translating the raw yourself anyway. It does nobody a service to throw text onto a page without care just to be the first.

Theyre definitely milking this story, but this seems like finally an arc that will enjoyable to me again. I cant stand all the fighty arcs lol. I just hope that Tachuuji get their HEA no matter how many tears they jerk in the process.

I do like this translation more comparatively, the language makes more sense to me than LED, and the pages are larger per px than LED, though LED has been the main translator, with their versions out now I want to thank you specifically for the effort put into these.

While I do favor some of my shorter lines, I think LED is far better at connecting concepts across bubbles and panels naturally than I am. Also, creatively writing in a given character's voice! I only thought to write the father god as "holier than thou" ( ), but transcribing his speech in the way LED did gave him a much more deific and imposing presence.

Regardless, I appreciate it! Translation and localization is often subjective, so personally I think that getting to see other productions really triangulates the soul of the author's writing. I'm happy that I could help do that, even for a little bit.

Of course~

Thank you for your response as well, constructive discussion and "sniping" should be more respected when actual snipers are posting translations of chapters '10s' ahead of other translators' chapters.

From a fan to a fan, bless you for your business~
