    I saw it too. I don't trust the translation anymore. If they did that, what else they gonna modify in the future? What's the purpose of that? except you hate the character (??) which is unprofessional really. I saw a lot of translators doing that shit, just drop the work, don't treat it personally, like they facing a divorce with jjk...

    i looked at it and especially with the "...there's no excuse to slack off" part he actually says "Then sleep well and do your best at work from now on" (in a kind way) they're fully throwing him under the bus ╥﹏╥

    This is so weird, are they trying to sabotage his image further or something??? Is that the actual official translation? Because this is ridiculous. It's really inapproppriate to modify the author's work like that on your personal whims and actively manipulating an audience. Putting that aside what's more crazy is the the message they unironically send: "the assaults jk did on dan are bad but maybe not really bad enoough, so we should further distort some bubble text, that'll do it!". Bro, just stick to the translation

    Thank you for providing the source. Bro, insane... are they doing this to other current abusing MLs texts or only to this story? If so i believe their dislike for the character isn't actually genuine but overall performative and people pleasing

    Whatttt so we're being robbed of his redemption arc?? This makes him look much less stupid, I thought he just kept being an ass and then wondered why Dan didn't like him, when really he was putting in the effort
    This is ridiculous, can't believe there's this kind of censor in my bl in the big '25
