I have always wondered if Rou Men's (Loumen in the LN) real name is actually Ra Men (Lamen in the LN) before he got exiled from the family. I am not sure if it has ever been brought up, but as someone exiled from the Ra clan he wouldn't be able to use it in his name any more.

Rahan is finally formally introduced!

 

[Acrelorraine]

I don’t know about this guy, I just find him super adorable.

Nice, finally Rahan appears. And a double upload too

the inner palace wall my adoptive father destroyed

I knew this was coming but it's still funny everyone expecting Rakan to cause a ruckus was right...

Thanks for the upload and the (needed by many) explanation on names/who's who!

I always love how Japanese and Chinese clans are so intricate that sometimes you need a guide to who is who and whose relative.

Rakan would do Rakan things to solve problems. Honestly, Jinshi should take advantage of that. Having a motivated Rakan on your side is a huge asset.

He looks so trustworthy.

I'm surprised he mentioned monuments before weapons as a cause for needing metals. Though it depends on what metals.

Cousin may have taken to his adoptive dad because of how much time he spent with him... but I can clearly see the catcat genes in him, which means... we have Rakan to thank for our Catcat's particular traits.

When fans correct professionals, the chapter.

Father-in-law and son-in-law testing each other's patience in every occasion 😂

Mao Mao’s family tree is growing yet again. Hopefully with royal blood in it in the future.

Cat Brother (Adopted)

I love that maomao's brother even does the same happy dance. That's adorable.

 

[Yuu3]

Ohhh that ending note on their names is so informative!! Thanks for that!

Also, the adoptive son is so cute~ He truly inherented his family's talent and eccentrics.

 

[Tds-PdV]

When I read the LN, I was looking forward to seeing Lakan/Rakan breaking the inner palace wall getting illustrated in the manga.
Too bad the artist opted not to do so, though I understand because it is Jinshi’s PoV and would have been a pain to do anyway (but imagine the hilarity!)

 

[r31ya]

These three (Rakan, Rahan, MaoMao) live up to the Ra family reputation of "Highly capable eccentric"

I also wonder how many people knew Mao Mao actual "rank".
Ra family sits quite high in the hierarchy and at least the emperor did knew that Mao Mao is Ra Kan daugther.

you can always count on the "professionals" to cut as much corners possible

 

[sdarkpaladin]

I wouldn't be surprised that the translation (official or not) of this series would make errors since this is steeped in East Asian culture and... well... the translators are usually not of East Asia.

It's such a shame, really. If only there's a way to do-over official translations or to make the company choose to re-translate them. But... alas... I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen since it doesn't make financial sense (to them)

Sometimes, I think fantl is way better purely because you usually get footnotes that shows how much they care about the translation, and to give you better insight into the story.

 

[Angoldd]

Thanks for the chapter!

The topic of names and characters with different readings is such an interesting topic.
I feel Chinese and Japanese authors have mastered the way a character can be named, even indicating parts of their personalities, lineage or abilities, thanks to using kanji/characters.

A shame that many names/surnames in languages like English, Spanish, French, etc. don't have that meaning so clear at a first glance anymore.

IIRC, the character in Lou and Ra is kinda the same? Thats what I read before. He never changed it (Im trying to remember if it was even hinted in the LN but I dont think so).Could just be that he removed the "Kan" when he introduce himself after he got banished. Other people can confirm tho. my memory cant be trusted

His name is still Kan Ruomen. He is addressed by some as Dr. Kan. As you see in the translation note, he still also has the Ra character in his name, it just uses Mandarin reading. If you used Japanese reading, 羅門 would be Ramon. Basen (馬閃) uses Japanese reading, in Mandarin it would be Mashan. Rifa / Lihua (梨花) is Mandarin, in Japanese it would be Rika.

Why the author did that, I cannot tell you, but she probably uses whatever pronunciation suits her and there is no deeper system or meaning behind it.
