From your not at the end of the chapter: "Do you want to know why I made the King speak Italian? Because it disgusted me to see her speak."Anyone who has read this, please leave your opinion of the manga, or my translation, or just a meme, anything is welcome.
Finally. The truth comes out. Even if you hate a character, you shouldn't alter the author's work, in order to change the way a character is presented. I remember you saying you did this for humor purposes several chapters ago. While partially true, you have now revealed that it was your disgust of the character that lead you to do it.
Who's to say you wont decide to do this again with some other series you translate? Maybe there will be a character that you like for many chapters, but the author has the character do something you don't like. Suddenly you give them an accent to express your disgust with them. But then the author has the character self reflect and make amends; leading you to like the character again. So you get rid of the accent. And maybe you'll write some passive aggressive translator notes in the margins, letting everyone know how you feel.
Please, do not add accents in future translations. Everything else you do with translating is quality. Also, thank you for translating this work. I enjoyed the humor of the story, in spite of it's character and plot flaws.
