while I really appreciate that someone wants to continue this, the choice of font, respectivly the low resolution of the font makes this near unreadable.
can't say anything about the quality of the mtl itself, because frankly I did not ready the whole chapter due to the font choice.

It’s legit making me wonder if this was even edited

:this: THIS
The font actually hurt my eyes trying to read it. :qq:
Honestly no idea if the translation is any good.

I read it just fine, eye strain is my friend, but the translation gets rough in the second half, cockatrices become cockapoos, Lofas was loofa and Lewfas... lots of stuff.

It kind of looks like it was run through an automated translate and editing program. There's a lot of random marks within the speech bubbles, and that text box on page 29/30 wouldn't be split between two panels if it was edited by hand.

Think it’s time to flag down a mod then for verification cause that is one of the few things they do crack down on. What’s especially weird is this account did a couple translations 6 years ago and then didn’t reappear again till today, which while not excellent were nowhere near a mess as this. Those had effort

yeah sorry I have no idea if the translation is good or bad because the font was illegible.

I appreciate the attempt, but honestly, as some have said before, the font of choice and resolution for it are really not ideal.
I really don't understand why it's so hard to:
1 - Use a proper font at an adequate resolution
2 - Use a mundane prompt for a Free LLM (like chatGPT, Gemini, Claude, w/e) that translates the Jp text to natural sounding English.
I've literally done both in very little time, the only time consuming things are the OCR, bubble cleanup and typesetting. The end result is a solid release with little to complain about.
I'm not trying to undermine your effort, but you can definitely be way more efficient to achieve a respectable quality level.

i actually went back and looked. this is actually worse then the quality they used to do. ai is a "wonderful" thing isnt it, still its more effort then any other reader of it's doing.

Lots of things need polish on top of fonts, including editing, typesetting, and proofreading. Appreciate that this title is getting some attention, but the output needs cleaning up.

I know the text looks like AI slop but “slapdash MTL” is a really shit excuse for poor typesetting. Brotha, at least make it legible and readable.

I’m not telling you to stop. I’m telling you that you can have better standards and self-respect than this.

Sorry boss, but please don't roll with this--I get that you tried, but the resolution alone make it nearly impossible to read, even ignoring how painful the font is.
