Everything about this is so high quality!

*You're my world bro*

*Bro.......*

hope you guys enjoyed, I plan to release a bunch more whenever I get more translations!

I didn’t expect to get emotional on that last scene, since I’ve already read it in the novel. The artist did a good job.

Also, that bro meme in the notes made me laugh ha ha

 

[Kayriel]

I got the feeling from the novel that Min Byeong Gu was a larger middle-aged man. Kinda druid-like almost. The art is fantastic in the manhwa here, but damn if he doesn't look like every other early-20s Korean guy in the series.

 

[Kaarme]

Nice plastic tent bar.

 

[Keledor]

Damned onion ninjas

I don't get it, is SLS collaborating with Jaiminis or who's stealing who? Cuz the end product is the same. . .

 

[Banchou-Sama]

@MaTu94 No, we're not collaborating, what do you mean the end product is the same?

 

[Claresilver47]

@MaTu94 JB's quality control is awful, they have grammar errors everywhere and often have poorly structured sentences that straight up don't make sense. The difference between their version and this version is quite large.

 

[MaTu94]

@IAmInept I meant what I said literally, I grab ch 89 and except one or two words the sentence construction and grammar are the same. Granted it's the same chapter and if the translators and editors have the same skills it'll come out similar, but still it's only logical to ask.

 

[MaTu94]

@Claresilver47 Care to defend your statement with proof by comparison? More than one instance if possible. It'd also be perfectly coherent that they have a better quality release if they grab what Jaiminis released 1st and improve it, after all if I'm not mistaken JB's releasing first. I'm not making any accusation I was just stating rational hypothesis and asking but everyone gets up in arms here. . .

 

[Drifter]

Such a great chapter to follow all of the demon slaying. I was genuinely worried Jin might be dreaming until she touched his arm.

The S rank healer becoming a teacher is odd though. Were I in that world, I could understand him not wanting to fight but I would be pissed at him squandering his gift when he could be in a hospital regrowing major organs and limbs.

 

[mangolover]

Yea...

 

[Claresilver47]

@MaTu94 For starters I don't even need to search hard to find errors in JB's releases and you can find the most basic of errors that can be corrected if they every bothered to proofread their stuff. The poise in this series isn't even that advanced and yet... JB's quality control is really quite lacking. Heck, even when back in chapter 75, JB's awkward wording in the pickaxe exchange was 'Did I look weird?' "To who?" while the group here translated it to "Did he notice?" 'Who?'. In the chapter 88, oh boy oh boy is there a LOT of just awfully worded sentences that makes me wonder if the proofreader is proficient at understanding English and a lot of the times they favor wording things in passive tense (and yes this is a thing) which makes exchanges excessively wordy. Now I wouldn't mind if that was just the way the character spoke but literally every exchange is like that. In fact, the passive tense problem is so prevalent that I can't even post every example because it's a problem in every single exchange
There are some of the errors in chapter 88, excluding the passive tense issue.

"Iron what's with you? You're also getting quick-witted."
"I can't turn demons into shadow soldiers but it looks like it's possible for wyvern.

oh joy they released chapter 88 while I was typing this up, time to find the differences

Spoiler

ok I'll be a little honest JB's game notifications actually read like game notifications. Though they translated the blood as "Purified blood of the demon king" while SLS translated it as 'Purified demon king's blood' they mean the same thing but whatever.
aaaaand holy shit they have the same awkward ass quick-witted translation that JB has, I guess it's like that in the raws. And really, that exchange over the drinks...
However I can't deny that many exchanges are the same but at the same time my issue with literally every exchange being in passive tense is no longer true for SLS's version, at least jinwoo is speaking in active tense.
I mean stuff will be similarly worded and you can't really avoid it since the intent of what they're saying isn't something that can be translated 5 different ways due to all the nuance, this isn't some deeply philosophical literary masterwork, and I can see that some exchanges are suspiciously exactly the same word for word. HOWEVER, this is still clearly translated, proofread, cleaned, and typeset by SLS themselves, despite some identical exchanges.

Lastly, I actually bothered to type this up because I don't like your tone and antagonism. I don't like JB but I still went out of my way to check this shit. You be you but don't discredit a group's effort to bring a series here.

*You're my world bro*

*Bro.......*

lmao broest chapter ever

 

[MaTu94]

@Claresilver47 My tone was only the direct result of an overly aggressive (granted not to me) proofless answer to a fair question, as my wording now may not be to your licking just because it's how I talk when somebody goes out of their way to explain how they don't like it when I defend myself justly. I don't care who brings what anywhere I care for it to be a fair action, still I'm not some tactless dimwit that just throws accusations around, and I know some coincidences may happen (as you noted extensively on your own comment), so I wouldn't be as unfair as to say it was downright stolen before asking properly, as such that's what I did. Btw you may have more of a pet peeve with JB than an actual justified problem and it may be fair to argue that you in no way, shape or form disproved the last hypothesis I presented, that hypothesis is also the reason scanlations usually try avoiding to work on the same project separately. As I said, there's no open accusation on my part, I have no solid proof, I was just asking because the chapter I read here looked exactly like the one I read before in JB and that seemed strange, still there's nothing in this for me to gain, rather I'm wasting quite some time on this answers, consequently I'll do me, you do you and they can do themselves, hope you get less personally involved on your next arguing with somebody and can be adequately objective to legitimate observations, for a group to be more or less to your liking doesn't make it more or less likely to be good or bad.

 

[kimerax95]

@MaTu94 it's the same because they're using the translated script from Jaimini's Box, changing some words here and there for not make it really obvious. But still with very low effort.
You can also find something really funny, like some editing mistakes from JB straight up copied into their version.

The last line of that speech bubble should have ended with "report", or something like that, probably went over the text box and was cut out.
