I Shall Survive Using Potions! - Vol. 3 Ch. 13.2 - Invitation (2)

[chanmyse]

Hmm, I don't know why but the comment section quite dark.

Thanks for translating.

 

[ABCsOfLife]

whoa the translator a bit pissed! D:

 

[Abedeus]

No, we don't understand because the translation is at times worse than if I ran it by Google Translate, mate.

And you know how I know?

Because even with my shitty Japanese knowledge I know what the raws say when you don't erase them. Seems like neither of the languages is native to you.

@firefish5000

Yeah, you are correct. In raws it says "nanoni" at the end, which is not "even" but means "despite" or "although".

 

[neednolife]

Yeah, shit talking your readers is not a good way to do your thing. In having your little tirade, you have ruined the comment section. How about, instead of lowering yourself to the trolls and joining in with the shit flinging, have the page just read, "Hey guys, if you are lost, try reading chapter X, page, X."

Honestly, you owe us nothing and I am happy that you are doing translations so that I can enjoy this series but, please, save yourself the trouble in calling people out.

@gimmy @azerez @Wolvenworks @Talismaster @sonic

LOL. The translator can go fuck himself, although I will say I was not trying to insult the author of the story, but rather the translation quality.

I honestly have no idea whether the author's storytelling makes sense or whether Kaoru is a good character or not. The translation is so godawful and nigh intelligible that I have 0% confidence that the translator is telling us the same story that the author is trying to convey.

It doesn't really matter if the author's story is great if the translation is so bad that no one can fucking understand what the story is. And if the translator is REALLY worried about insults to the author, well I can't think of a worse insult than to fuck up said author's story.

Translator needs to get a native English-speaking proofreader to work with him to put out a quality product.

@LysandersTreason
Pls don't @ me if it's not related to uploading problems.
I don't care about internet dramas.

 

[apricotsoda]

read the wn tl it's almost the same quality HAHAHA.

 

[Psychronia]

Yeesh. Such drama. The translation isn't the best, but it's not like I can't fill in the blanks, but I wouldn't apologize for being confused either.

Kaoru as a MC (based on what I've read on MangaDex) irks me, confusing or not. I still can't quite put it into words, but I think it has more to do with how she treats people than her objective suddenly changing.

Yeah, I'm not 100% confident this is it, but I think the reason I can't bring myself to like her (or the MC of 40,000 coins for that matter) is because in the process of jerking back and forth between benevolence and MC-centric justice, or showing off and discretion, she's effectively this monstrous...thing that's wholly selfishly forcing its way through everybody's lives in a way that's just...unpleasant.

Judging from the fact that people seem to like how smart she is (and I agree), I might be alone here, but the way she treats people as pieces to be manipulated and the narrative treats them as means to make her look good makes her kinda unlikable to me in a way most other guile heroes don't.

Some Isekai protagonists might be bland, but these sorts of protagonists are the sort of people I hope I never meet. Which doesn't necessarily make them a bad character, when I look at it like that, but...Hmm. Not sure what else I can say about this.

 

[womangadex]

This MC is fun and highly relatable! I enjoy reading this! Shes so much better than the autistic beta male isekai MC. She’s just enjoying the fantasy world, that’s all I want. Simple plot, simple drama, fun characters, simple feel good moments.

 

[tsuichirin]

a (wild) holy angel appeared! lmao xD

 

[Rover]

are that's the king's altar? are not that's too small?

 

[toastedguy]

based

 

[Pachka84]

Dude, Kaoru and Celeste are BFF's. Now pray for your life
I love this manga. It's not often you find really characters like this who aren't victims and now how to deal with assholes.

 

[SirWaffleMan]

You mean the dialogue that you didn't translate? Real helpful.

 

[coldb7]

No the story still makes no sense, she has the power to make anything, so she doesn't need to be doing any of this, Arthur fucked up by giving her that ridiculous OP ability.

 

[0riginal]

You should see all the MTL a-holes out there these days. Wouldn't doubt this person is trying their best to make a buck off this somehow. No one does this poorly on a continuous basis when it's a work of passion.

It doesn't help that the base comic/story is garbage too.

 

[Pietje013]

The start was or the daily life or the main story of Kumo desu ga. 😄
