Ah, yeah. There is an arc far into the webnovel where they went into how Rosenburg slave traders operate. It's regulated, but there are a lot of corrupt officials and traders who do things like scams who need cleaned up. It looks like the author decided to show this in another case much earlier for the Light Novel version. Rosenburg is in the decadence stage of civilization... for now.

part chapters still a pain, still not the fault of TL tho.

If I recall right, part chapters are a thing because people pay per chapter to view them and company abused it, right?
Thank you for your understanding..

Yes, part chapters are indeed a result of the payment model where people pay per chapter, which some companies have unfortunately abused.

The raw format is structured this way, and it’s taking me about 4-5 hours to work through each part :qq:

I can release it as a full chapter if you all prefer that format, but you will have to wait a little longer for the full chapter.

He could have switched out, or even just moved the contract, so she couldn't sign it, but then he wouldn't have seen her get naked. Guess he's one of those heroes that wants to unlock all the CG first.
He is trying to be stealthy, so he didn't want to intervene if he did absolutely have to. Plus she was being stupid, this was a harsh lesson, but she won't make the same mistake again. Save someone to early, and they won't realize the danger they were in. And he may have hoped she would realize what was wrong, as well as he didn't get to read it before she signed, till right after she signed he was suspicious but unsure, once she signed it was within seconds that they told her to strip. So not really like he waited long.

They told her told her to strip after they got that bracelet on her, that was not immediately after she signed, it was after they started extorting her for a million more burgs. That's a lot of time for him to stealthily help, just like how he made the contract disappear afterwards and raided the safe.

Within seconds is not instantaneous. Right away after she signed they would put the bracelet on her. Then tell her what it said. At that point he would know they were bad for sure, but she already has signed and the bracelet is on her, rushing to action makes no difference. At that point he is just waiting for a good time to go after the contract. So let them gloat, let them reveal info. It was once they told her to strip that he had to change plans and intervein right then, which means repositioning, and making a quick plan, probably less than 10-30 seconds after the strip command is when they attacked.

Uh no, look again, they ask for an impossible amount of money from her, they explain the contract and start to surround her, tell her she needs to pay with her body, then bracelet goes on, tell her to stop resisting while they explain how she screwed up, talk about how much she's gonna be worth, and then they tell her to stop resisting and strip. Even with all that, he waited until she was down to her last article of clothing. If you're talking about waiting for an opportunity, the guy moves away from the contract before asking her to strip, and we've seen this mc take things while still invisible and intangible before.

Your very clearly misunderstanding. I am saying he had no reason to rush in till she was told to strip. Once she signed no matter what he would have to get the contract. But if they tied her up and put her in a cell, he would save her there. If they put it in a safe he would take it out unseen, he doesn't want to show himself. Till she was told to strip he had no reason whatsoever to just rush in and show himself when he could handle it unseen, and get to listen longer for more info. The point that made him have to rush in there and their even if it meant showing himself was her stripping. And that he only waited a few seconds. You see to think she took her time stripping, she was being controlled, and with that little clothing she would be naked in under 5 seconds.

In written English the line-breaking space NEVER EVER goes in the next line no matter how often you keep seeing other SL insisting on doing it.

Thanks for your feedback. As mentioned in my previous post regarding the space issue, speech bubbles aren't always rectangular, and sometimes their size makes it difficult to fit the text neatly. I’ve been trying to keep the font size consistent within the space available, but there are instances where the text bubble is simply too small to avoid line-breaking spaces. While I do my best to manage this, it’s not always possible to prevent it entirely.

I might not catch every space or formatting issue. I'll continue to do my best to improve and make adjustments where I can, but there may be occasional oversights. I appreciate your understanding and patience as I work to refine my approach.

I wasn't talking about some random speech bubble that may or may not be always rectangular, I was talking about that specific bubble with that specific phrase. It would have fit. Not only that: That particular bubble was square at the height where it counted. Additionally, your use of the extra line break caused the first and the last line to be much more of an interference with the slanted corners than a "ment has" line would ever have caused, so, I'm afraid that excuse doesn't work.

and sometimes their size makes it difficult to fit the text neatly
Bubbles serve the text, not the other way round. It's okay to spill the text a bit over the borders if the compromise would be awkward or excessive line-breaking. This includes the hyphen placement.

Typesetting is not about blinkeredly tracing the contours of a bubble with some text content. You're setting type for readability, not for vanity. It's about making text easy to read before anything else. The only relevant purpose bubbles have in the first place is providing sufficient contrast for the letters, making and keeping text legible. Everything else, like pointers and fancy borders, is a bonus, a free side effect. Having a wildly jagged text outline is a lot more disruptive to reading flow than touching or exceeding a bubble border a bit here and there.

I might not catch every space or formatting issue.
I'm not going to go through your work with ruler and compass. It's not going to work out perfectly every time. It can't do so, not least because the bubbles were originally drawn for a writing system you're not even using. I pointed out that particular issue only because it was so glaringly obvious and so easily avoidable.

It's always going to be a compromise. Religiously adhering to some absolute rule, like never touching or exceeding bubbles, is self-serving and pointless. Follow the spirit behind the ruleset, not the ruleset's letter.
