I Became a Childhood Friend of a Mid-Level Boss - Ch. 27

What’s the difference between TL and MTL if you don’t mind me asking? I’m newer to the manga/LN community (like four months maybe) so I’m not familiar with the term yet

MTL is Machine TransLation. Think Google Translate or DeepL. A lot of times it'll fail to parse correctly and you end up with awkward sentences. For example, the name "Haneul" may get translated directly into "sky" or "heaven" because it's bad at distinguishing what is a name and what isn't.

TL is done by actual humans that are aware of the context. Normally, they won't mistranslate names as words. Of course, this is totally dependent on the human's mastery of both languages.

Tl = Translation (TransLation); Done by humans
MTL = Machine Translation; Done by a machine, like Google Translate

MTL tends to be lower quality than TL, and is usually marred by a great deal of issues so many refuse to read it. That said, there are bad TLs too.

NovelUpdates only lists chapters from normal non-paywalled TLs.
