Judging by that last page Simon was beginning to bleed a little out of his eyes... Yeah bleeding from your eyes isn't really a good thing.

Can someone explain to me the why name such as [Qin Baitian] are translated as [Taylor]?

 

[skyscar]

it would be very please if you stop Simon Joseph Taylor shits and use their Chinese name instead. i know it s not yr fault but plz try to make the correct things

 

[skyscar]

@JoeyQ i m not sure i m right or not. if not someone pls correct me. there was a time when web like mangatoon and other same type of webs try to dig money from westerners.

they tried to localize shit and boom you have what you see now.....

MC is also not Simon shit but Qin Chen according to the raw

@skyscar I've already tried to convince the translators to stop using the extremely out-of-context, forced, fabricated, English names for the characters, to no avail.
They are afraid to "confuse the readers of the previous translation".
We must suffer with stupidities like "Simon" and "Joseph", learn Chinese and read the raws ourselves or hope a new group comes in ad does things right.

I'm still very thankful, seeing as @rspreet does everything by himself (TL, ED, QC, PR, CL), but his decision to keep those names is still jarring to me.

@AlexMCS "confuse the readers of the previous translation" well, that s understandable and is also nonsense at the same time.

i think no one is foolish enough to think that simon joseph taylor shits are the name from the original content.

if you are afraid that readers will confuse(?), i think one sentence of T/N is enough to clear things. if he or she wanna do, that s it.

it s not something stupid like the translation work of KKJ group. they translate "spear" as "gun" in the "THE HUNTER".

when someone points it out on their web. that guy is swarmed by KKJ crazy fanbois.

@skyscar @AlexMCS I understand your point but you know my patrons prefer Simon and Joseph and I can't ignore my patrons. Beside I am using only these 2 English names right now, all other names are Chinese. I hope you can bear with this much.

 

[skyscar]

@rspreet no probs. i understand your reasons. it s just..... well, you know.

at least, the group tries to communicate back. that s good enough.

 

[AlexMCS]

@rspreet I definitely figured that was the case. Still a shame though.
