    Huh? Where did this come from? The translation isn't even that bad.

    Well... maybe it's just the way it was narrated in the original or even the storyline itself, but I find myself struggling to put things together with the way it's translated ╥﹏╥
    Still grateful to the translator, though. Half a loaf ia better than none

    it is though there are lines that barely connect and every time there is a more complex sentence the meanings are ambiguous at best. you can tell there are spots where the translator be it a person or a machine just didn't understand what the story was trying to say and it makes the narrative extra messy.

    I see. I reread chapter 39 and there were indeed some ambiguous lines.

    One such line for me was when the main character was talking about the blood having too many impurities to have been pure blood. Though that was right after a skip and there was only soil, no blood.

    I think the main issue was that the story kept skipping around. This made it more difficult to pick up on context clues about what was being discussed. For the reader's and most likely, the translator as well.

    The second issue could be related to sentence structure. Since this is translated, the sentence structure might not translate perfectly into English, and it might be difficult to change it with the limitations of speech bubbles.

    At the end of the day, these translators might not even be professionals. Their translations might not always be flawless, but they are doing this for free in their spare time. So, let's be thankful. Let's be kind. And if you really love a story so much that you want a flawless translation, then save up some money and support the author by buying the official translation.

    Sorry for coming at you like that. Your comment just stood out to me for some reason. ( ̄∇ ̄")
