Definitely agree. I did just wanna get on and finish the chapters, but the texts always made me inclined to read, and it took longer to get through the first half. But they were really insightful and just showed a lot of thoughtfulness towards the mc who was just miserable. I'd also like to see if there were more notes that wasn't provided in the rest of the chapters, it would be nice to see an extra chap or something of it like you said
FOR REAL. When is the video essay dropping girl I need to know
NO EXACTLY i would sit and watch the analysis of this for 2 hours, a court ruling even just so that guy gets justice (I forgor his name)
I read a few comments and, to be honest, I think the hate for the translator is unwarrented. Im a bit of a gossip hound and the sassy notes made the experience more fun for me.
[EDIT]: HOWEVER, I do think they should've released a version without the notes, or perhaps kept the notes to the end. I would be interested in reading all of their thoughts, but I seem to be in the minority.
I dont think what they say should be interpreted as a wholly damning, they clearly have some commitment to this series. I too would feel insane if I had committed years of my life to translate Sadistic Beauty (for free) and had grown attached to a character who got a noncon spinoff.
Thank you translator, I'll read your fanfiction.
