It annoyed me immensely that even the "good" one alternated between not understanding context, or outright making up lines, at times. Some critical character-defining lines got outright dropped in all that BS.Thank you for the translation, it's actually a much better read, than the other ones.
I generally like to keep the native names for food dishes, since they're both easily searchable, if you're not already clued into what they are, but also they're used in their own specific cultural context.For someone who clearly has a good grasp of the context and goes for a natural script, why didn't you go with "mom told me to bring you some porridge"?
That left me confused as everything else was pretty much spot on.

Yeah. I don't like her work. Doesn't mean I'm ok with hacks butchering it further. I can dislike her shit writing, and the other guys' shit "translating". I just happen to be in a position to fix one of those right now.Sooooo after all the preaching about how much of a hack the author is you go and translate their work? Intradasding.
This is fair enough, but a footnote / TL note wouldn't have gone amiss in a case like this. Having to stop and do an internet search takes the reader out of the work - and you can't really trust Google results anymore (first result I got said it was pickled plum - some AI shit).I generally like to keep the native names for food dishes, since they're both easily searchable, if you're not already clued into what they are, but also they're used in their own specific cultural context.
You remember the time when you could put a term into a search bar and get what you were looking for? Pepperidge Farm remembers. That said, I got what I was looking for using DDG, and Google, after putting "Lugaw" one one of those annoying info widgets, did ultimately give me Okayu from the second result onward.

Why are you using a search engine you don't trust? Startpage, you, and duckduckgo are a few popular alternatives (you could even try bing). There are a lot of other options too.You remember the time when you could put a term into a search bar and get what you were looking for? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I'll keep the TL note in mind for these things, though.
