HELP I READ THIS AS MR. MACKEY FROM SOUTH PARK
Not A Scans was doing an amazing job with this and now it's being uploaded by someone who leaves a lot untranslated, or pages are missing, or pages are out of order, and it really bums me out that so few people care about this obscene quality drop. If there's an official english version, i'd rather just pay the money to read that than keep reading this new uploaders work idk.
Its not their fault, the chapters they translate don't have all the pages
NASS was inactive for over a month before someone else picked it up. This is a popular series if NASS wasn’t able to translate then they should have given up the series so other groups can work it instead a fan just picked it up and google translate so this is the type of quality we get now
Yknow, I hope Woohyun realizes he didn't have strong feelings for Seok-Il, and also realizes that he doesn't have strong feelings for Minhyuk. Minhyuk may have been a driving force in him realizing he wasn't the happiest with Seok-Il, but that doesn't mean that Minhyuk has to be the one he is the happiest with.
Minhyuk is kinda putting me off, here. I was a fan of him at first, but the way he's being rather forceful with Woohyun rubs me the wrong way.
Anyway, I hope Seok-Il is happy in the end because he really deserves it the most, even if it's not with Woohyun.
You do realizes that all he is done is : come back from a 10 year hiatus (without ever giving a single word)
And then meet up sometimes for quick sex (their first sex time didn’t feel romantic at all).
So if you liked him at first, i don’t see why you like him less now. You saw him at his best, him trying to conquer the uke (only sex).
He had to disappear with his family to escape debt collectors, I can definitely sympathize with that. And our first introduction with him wasn't sexual, he only kissed Woohyun goodbye after having a meal, some drinks, and catching up.
He got progressively more aggressive/insensitive from there.
I believe they have social media. He probably could have contacted Woohyun if he wanted. Not to mention, he probably came back years ago and he could have tried to find Woohyun.
Ok you are rught, their first meeting wasn’t sex. Still he didn’t show much romance during his *conquering the uke* time so you shouldn’t be exoecting more. The uke was drooling for the sex, nothing more.
Woohyun wasn't "drooling for the sex," he was experiencing strong feelings that he hadn't felt in a long time. Might have been lust confused for that strong burning romance he once had, but he was feeling it strongly enough that he couldn't ignore the draw of it and its not something he felt with Seok-il. But now that he's ended things with Seok-il, he doesn't feel that burning passion anymore and holy wow do I mega relate.
So like I said, I hope he's gonna realize that neither of these men are good for his life. I mean, Seok-il probably was very good for him, but he's sort of blown that good relationship clear outta the water now.
I hope Seok-il finds someone to be happy with, and I hope Woohyun rejects Minhyuk.
The translation was okay, but constructive advice from a veteran scanslator!
You spelled the main characters name 3 different times throughout the beginning. Remember to re-read the chapters *after* taking a decently lengthed break when done. You would be surprised at the mistakes you catch when you rest your eyes for a bit. This is true for any and all literary work done, it's your biggest tool in quality control!
Also, take advantage of the large text bubbles provided! Your text is so small in these large fields, but you can really fill up a speech bubble instead of keeping the font all the same size. And remember to center your text within the bubbles, especially if there's just one word going in, you don't want it to just be at the top of the bubble bc it looks awkward.
Also take advantage of apps and sites like AddText, who offer shading and lining on text so you can make it stand out better against background imagery.
And never forget there's oftentimes not a direct translation and you can and should take liberty with dialogue to make it flow and sound better once you have the general idea of what the person is saying.
If you did this all on your own, it's an incredible job. Not a lot of people can translate, type set, clean, spell check, and fix chapter all on their own.
Since there is a large group working on this, I would personally find another story to work on so as to not step over the massive amounts of work theyre pouring into because their work is top quality and very, very impressive but I only suggest this because I never liked working on a translation edit unless I knew mine was of better quality than the others. At the same time, there's only one way to get better and that's with practice and using a work you love is a better way to get that practice in, because you care a lot more about the final result. So just do as you please, but don't be offended if the other group steps in to ask you to stop.
Sorry for the lengthy post! I just love seeing new talent bloom and sharing some wizened words from my ancient ass.
Veteran scanlator as well, I'd trust Beatdarling's point about finding another project to work on. The group working on this is quite large. They might ask you to stop or they might stop themselves (or try to make their version even harder to access). If you aren't confident about producing better quality (as you mentioned, you think you only got 85% of translation done correctly and this is something that you're still quite not sure about), you might get hate from readers who expect nothing less than top quality and want perfect translation. Or loyal fans of the scan group might come for you.
But yeah, it's your choice. I'd also recommend using white strokes on dark text if they're on a dark background cause it makes them harder to read and like anon mentioned in another post, Comic Sans is not the best choice. At the top of my head, what we used in my previous scan group for typesetting was Wild Words or Astrocity or Anime Ace and sometimes Zud Juice for thoughts.
Thank you for the tips I'll try my best to deliver, but I don't think I'll work on this anymore as I don't want any backlash.
What you said is true and as I stated before I won't be working on further chapters 'cause I don't want any backlash or anything like that. thanks.
Even if it means waiting a day I am loyal in my parasocial attachments to uploaders I've never interacted with before
This is so real I only stick to the most popular uploaders
