Totally respect your opinion but when you say that the translation would hurt the author and that it's disrespectful, I believe it is also very disrespectful to be reading her work on an illegal site. You have your own reasons and are free to do what you want but I'll just say that it's a bit hypocritical to not be paying the author who's work you clearly like so much but demanding flawless translations from a site that is notorious for illegal translations and uploads. The translator is also not making any money out of this and their opinions are the least they can get in the way of a manhua they clearly don't like so much. If you can tolerate the abusive elements of the story, I'm sure you're strong enough to tackle the dinky notes. This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to attack so I apologise if you feel attacked.
I agree w this tho i find it disrespectful to the Duna kins. YES, TO THE DUNA KINS.
Yes ik the translator has their own opinion but putting it all over the screen is kinda bothering.
But it's okay.
I want to leave a new translator hate comment every time a chapter releases so here I am to agree with you because I have nowhere to vent. THANKS FOR THIS COMMENT. Why is the translator translating if they obviously hate it (and the authors) guts?
U have no room to talk as u are also reading it on an illegal site, pot calling kettle bottom black, also no one demanded flawless translations all that's being said is that translater-san should know some boundaries. Just cause their translating it doesn't mean their exempted from being called out when their on bull and doesn't mean they suddenly own it giving them the right to leave insensitive comments all over it. It's disrespectful to the author(s) and everyone else that worked on the manga as well as insensitive to the reader's. Just cause their translating it for free doesn't mean they don't have any responsibilities, such as not leaving insensitive, disrespectful comments all over the work as well as their personal feelings and opinions in excess.
As the original commenter has right to say what they felt, so do I and I will still call them hypocritical for calling the translator disrespectful when they themselves are being disrespectful to the author by not buying the chapters. Your pot-kettle analogy applies to them too. I'm not telling them to not use the site. This is a free, illegal site, nobody has any responsibilities here, if responsibility was in question then the people who bought the chaps before shouldn't have been posting them for free for you to read here. That's against the law but since law doesn't apply here, the translator has absolutely no duty towards you or the author to make their translations opinion free. If you don't like them, then you can complain about it all you want or you can buy them when they come out. Simple as that.
UGH seriously it is soooo annoying
well, i actually did use tappytoon to read this legally but it is unfortunately much further behind in translations. i also did not claim to be holier than thou, and am aware that using this site doesn’t make me much better. but if we’re truly talking about a standard of disrespect, like i said before, writing/editing and adding things to the source material that actively (and rudely) criticizes it, takes the cake. as an artist myself, if someone did that to something i made, i’d be livid, and rightfully so. it’s bastardizing the original work. translating illegally is one thing, but add disrespectful commentary on top of that? that’s much worse imo. also, i don’t understand your point about handling an abusive story vs. dinky comments. i chose to read this story lol. i know what it’s about and i’m not enduring abuse or anything by reading about it. on the other hand, these “dinky comments” are distracting as well as rude, and NOT part of the source material
bruh fr the commentary is getting really annoying
Exactly my point, well said
Thank u, thank u no need for applause
(≧∀≦)
while i’m grateful for a translation... the commentary is super unprofessional and not to mention DISRESPECTFUL to the original author. please separate your commentary and analysis of the story to a blog or something. imagine if you wrote/drew something, and then people edited/wrote all over it with obviously critical and overly familiar commentary. it’s not ok and if the original author ever read these fan translations, it would upset them.
and to those defending it because the translator is “just trying to point out poor BDSM and toxic behavior”, they can do that without putting it all over the original work. us, the readers, do not need to be told what or how to think about the story and characters either. it’s obvious that duna is not a good person, it doesn’t take paragraphs of translator notes to understand that
