Was this translated using AI? There's quite a few misattributed pronouns that don't make sense given the context.

For example on page 7, "Have you already decided the day we return to the royal capital?" That "we" should be "you," which helps Ark's next line make better sense.

Then on page 9, "Are you okay?!" should be "Is she okay?!" Ark is referring to Inosea here.

i'm liking Gadaf, bro is quick to the point and also has good intuition
girl doesn't realise she is the one cursing him, he probably has a lot of magical power and she is feeding off of that by becoming the goblin queen, that is the reason he can't train

Thanks for pointing that out — you’re absolutely right about those pronouns.
English doesn’t allow the same level of subject ambiguity as Japanese or Spanish, and in those cases the wording should be clearer to preserve the intended meaning.
We’ll correct those lines in the next revision. Feedback like this genuinely helps improve the quality of the release. Thanks for taking the time to note it.

I just filter things in my head. I didn't even notice that.

surprised she let them take him to the capital
From what we have seen, the Goblin Queen is probably some kind of manifestation from the Lily’s mood bracelet thing, and her emotions regarding the party that left for that capital were those wishing for Ark’s safety- even if she had ill wishes against one of the other members for whatever reason, I believe that the Ark safety would likely supersede those. There may also be the possibility that for whatever reason Goblin Queen doesn’t want to interact with Ark, as she keeps on cutting off when talking about him.

I think mistakes like that, though fixable, are fine. So long as the true meaning of things is carried through and it reads smooth enough, it is fine. AI translation isn't ideal, but when it is the only translation available for something, I think it is a wonderful thing.
There are so many manga we can read now that never would have been translated before AI.

Well then that would mean she's been a demon since they were children? Since his mana issue is not something recent this is a persistent issue for him since childhood all the other children were awakening to magic and different element attributes while he wasn't he couldn't even train to get stronger like the other children

saw your other comment too, i can agree with what you are saying but i'll add a theory that it's possible that she was already eating away at his mana even from young age and the ring made her become like that
welp let's wait for more chapters to answers our views
