Finally, mc realise how stupid the game is. How is weapon choice matter when you have to face in tutorial are freaking projectiles. Any defensive weapon would be the best since it can block attack.

You didn't really need to call it Styx. We're not retarded; it's okay if you call it the Korean name.

@twinklecake

Except 삼천강, what they called it in Korean, is functionally the same as the river Styx- ie, the gateway before death, and if you cross it you die. In this case it was the right call to substitute something with basically the same cultural connotations as the original korean thing.

 

[twinklecake]

@Geohie But it isn't Styx, it's Samcheon, which actually fits the flavor of the setting and sounds like something the character might actually say instead of a name that clearly doesn't belong in the story and draws your attention to the blatant and unnecessary translator interference, thereby taking you out of the story. It also implies rather foolish opinions on the translator's part that all the readers know about Styx and explanations about it aren't needed, that they're unable to grasp the crystal clear context of a metaphorical river your relatives wait on the other side of, and that they'd rather be coddled by a dumbed-down translation than perhaps be given a chance at finding out something cool about Korean mythology. It's just condescension for no reason and no upsides whatsoever.

Yeah so stupid the game mechanism!!!

No goblin here.

 

[Verypeeved]

a lot of these sorts of stories have really crappy game design, it's nice to see it actually acknowledged by the characters for once.
