[BalrogDeMorgoth]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[DMVicktorius]

Oh thank gawd. Thank you so much!

 

[Owlet3]

Thank you for the translation. I thought my brain was tripping when I was reading the earlier chapter. It was so hard to read.

This one is miles better

 

[BlackAeronaut]

Pretty much what everyone else is saying.

Something I'd like to add to that praise: I think it's very good that instead of trying to redraw and making a dog's breakfast out of it, you simply decided to place the translated text neatly beside the original text. This kind of honesty in scanslation is seldom seen, and it is greatly appreciated.

 

[fight2live]

holy shit, yes! it's a lot better! thanks!

 

[YouSuckDiddleyUck]

Sincere thanks for this

 

[IMLRG]

Well done! Much better!

The process of making paper out of wood only developed during industrialization, primary source for fiber before that was textiles and rags...

Well, it wasn't  just rags and other cloths. From a quick bit of research, I would guess those were mostly used as extra binding for the various plant materials that would also go into the paper. That said, yeah, wood pulp wasn't used until they started really needing to mass produce it and that worked well because of the sheer amount of material they could get from it thanks to new methods.

Aetherdia is advanced in paper-making and printing. They already have bookstores, and they carry books specifically for children. So they do need a lot of paper, and it makes sense that they would use wood pulp.

 

[MangaAddict69]

As everyone has been saying, Thank you!

Where's Chapter 51-54? Am I missing something?

 

[HeatManga]

Where's Chapter 51-54? Am I missing something?

They got removed. You can find better ones (official ones) on other websites.

 

[Grikath]

i imagine they were probably deleted because they were utter garbage. Some of the worst stuff I have ever seen.

Nah, they're still up at the usual alternatives, and they're definitely not bad.
Not brilliant, but definitely legible.

Dunno why they were removed from here though.

Then either they're not the ones I'm thinking of, or you are an insanely tolerant person. Because the ones I saw were absolute abominations, some of the worst translation I have ever seen. Fonts changing mid-word, four shifts of pronoun when taking about a single subject on the same page, utterly incoherent grammar and sentence structures...reading it was like having a stroke.

Uhh... not... exactly? Like, kinda, but not really?
I mean, paper made from wood pulp has been around a long time... just not in Europe; Arabs and Asians have been using wood pulp paper for longer than French, English, German, and Portuguese have existed as languages... much less as countries.

Even today, using ONLY wood pulp still isn't a thing; we still use binding agents, which (as mentioned by ThatNaiGuy) is what the usage of rags and hemp were for in early paper... but it was still pulped-up tree bark, mixed with a binding agent, and there is solid evidence of using sawdust (which is what we still use, today).
Honestly, the only thing Europeans did towards making paper was to industrialize the process; still soggy wood and sawdust, still fibers, just... a much, MUCH larger amount to process; bigger vats, more sawdust, larger batches, huge buildings... but still mostly the same process.

Spoiler: rambling about history

Wood-pulp paper was invented in China before 200 A.D.; during a war between China and the Umayaad (or maybe Abyssid?) Dynasty, right around 800 A.D., a group of paper makers, cooks, printers, and merchants were captured... and the Baghdad House of Wisdom started printing tons of copies of Ptolemy, Aristotle, Plato, Archimedes, and hundreds of other philosophers.

If you want to use more than just Google (or your nation blocks results), or you just prefer primary source material... then consider buying/downloading, or going to a library and checking-out and reading "The Beginnings of Western Science" by David C. Lindberg; it really brings home just how much work was done, over many centuries, to give us the modern, easy lives we have.

Totally boring book, but if you're a history nerd at all, it's super rad.
