Eeeeh...I don't like this change. It is way easier when there is a god who personally gives an answer for all your insecurities. Reminds me on the movie Constantine, when the archangel told him "No, you KNOW that god exists! That's different!" compared to people who don't know but still believe in god's existence. In the novel, Hestia faced all her insecurities herself. And overcame them herself. Yes, she got some help from Helios but he only helped her to think deeper of herself and the whole situation. For me, it was more substantive than this.
You're so right. The webtoon removed the aspect of uncertainty, of not having answers to why thing/tragedy happened to us, with the introduction of a God. That uncertainty is what makes the novel grounded to reality despite the setting being a fantasy, which bums me because they should've just went through the route of expressing the emotions of going through tough times and literally questioning your existence without having the correct answer, but instead, they made it comedic. It's already there when they changed the balcony scene with Hestia's outburst, but they just had to do the God thing. Then again, they're probably rushing to the end since I saw a comment that the webtoon ended at chapter 113 when I think the story went longer than that.
Highly likely...I just saw the next chapter and I have a feeling they'll even change Diana's 'last mercy' too.
Oh, Kanda's story. I really hope someone would update it or it'll get an official translation like Contrast.
First time I see a translator messing up with the pronouns like this. Even an elementary level English speaker can make a difference between I, you and he, can't imagine the reason there are so many mistakes in this...
I’ve actually seen a lot of transactions like this. It could maybe be this team who does it but i wouldn’t be surprised if they are using some type of google translate or something. It also could be that thry don’t speak the best English are are just kinda guessing but who knows at least we are getting a translation that we can mostly understand
I see it all the time with mtl. It's all either ai or google translate or other translating apps. They don't even bother to edit it. These uploaders suck. I'd rather they don't upload at all
It's standard with machine translation, I've seen mixup with I, he, she, whatever.
I only saw cases when he and she got mixed up, it's a standard fir Google translate but I and he is kind of extreme.
I think it depends on the language and if dramatically ie a person talks about themselves in 3rd grammatical gender. I've seen it along with my native lang, where formalities require use of 3rd gender when speaking directlyto a person (something along the lines of 'sir, would he require some sugar with his tea?') and machine translation goes bonkers.
I wonder why was there a need to do this part different from the novel. It's not bad like this, the novel was more angsty with a bigger focus on Hestia's lack of attachment to this world and Kael's panic of loosing her, here, he gives his reasons so Hestia doesn't suffer that long and they don't need Helios to solve their problem.
If you decide to translate, please, at least use the correct pronouns, this is the only hurdle MTL cannot jump right now, it's not a huge work to correct it...
There is a novel for this too, it seems to have a pretty decent translation
better TL here btw https://mangatoto.com/title/198034-grain-in-ear
Indeed, thank you very much!
The story is promising but I wonder, doesn't the artist have az editor to tell them how disproportionate their characters are? Compared to the heads, the shoulders are too small, arms and legs too short. I'm 174 cm and if I take the proportions of the artist, I could say goodbye to half of my legs :)
The author is working on this project alone at the moment and does not have an editor yet but they just released this series and are working hard to try and deliver good quality for their readers (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I just realized that Iku makes a short cameo in Fukyagaku-sei no Himawari
The novel is perfectly fine, it should be adapted as it is. The change with Diana's visit is not that big but in the novel, she came alone, unannounced, her arrival was reported in front of the doctors but Hestia put her trust to Kaelus and told him to meet her, while she remained with the guests. And Kaelus rejected Diana and criticized her for coming unannounced too, it was like a huge wall between them. It was a very spectacular show-off of their affection which contrasted with Kaelus' decision to not impeach Diana. This decision makes Hestia to re-evaluate her place in the story and her life there, not leaving the castle meanwhile Kaelus is leaving "to rescue his old love" as Hestia believes is happening. These chapters are a bit too rushed, somehow disproportionate and don't do the novel justice. They are not bad like this but not that dramatic either which is a strong point of the novel.
Where did you read the novel?
Not to sound like a noob but how do you actually use this website, there isn’t a read option if that makes sense
hi lolol totally not a noob i also struggled the first time i used it! you just make an account in the site then you can search up novels, you scroll down a bit in the novel profile and you can find links listed under. happy reading!
ikr i wish that stayed loyal to that part it will also feed the misunderstanding they will have here.
From the very beginning Diana wasn't fit to be a royal. She was inflexible and too narrow-minded. But she wasn't a lunatic or evil, there was no need for this change the manhwa did to her character. I think the ending she had in the novel fit her the best, until the very end, she was devoted to the dying king and then returned to the church. Originally she was a pure and righteous character who was very devoted to the poor and ill commoners, but even when she fell from the pinnacle, she didn't turn evil. These changes defiled the novel.
I respect your point of view but I personally don’t think is totally true in the novel she didn’t feel bad about what she did to Kaelus , she also said Kaelus will choose her, she always thought she was special not humble more like attention seeker…, my impression of the novel character isn’t that different of the manuha character, she is selfish by nature, power just reveals it more…
That sort of ending is not realistic i prefer the one of the manwa more. Being narrow minded and inflexible is not a flex when you are in power and you are in charge of others humans life and in reality people like do more wrong than good and this chara development suit this type of attitude the best she is selfish and she has always done good to people so that she can praised and stay special it. She had done such bad thing to other peole kael and even others comoners and we have seen the consequences of her actions purely. That is my broad minded view of her and her attitude and people like her IRL
But it isn’t the ending yet
Agree
Yeah, I agree that part, that's why I wrote she wasn't fit to be a royal and was inflexible and narrow-minded. Kaelus went and poisoned the political rivals of the king. As a soon to be royal, she should've understand he did it for the greater good and even she didn't like it, at least she could've shut up but instead she lectured him with her high morals and turned away from him. She could do this as a saint, it's not like she needs to forgive murder but not as someone who will once be the queen. Until the very end she didn't truly understand why others believe what she did was not good. It was well pictured when she talked to Kaelus and he said you believed what you did was right and I believe what I did was right, there is no point to talk about this anymore. Her biggest flow was that she believed she is morally superior to everyone thus she was unable to bow her head and learn.
I have nothing to add , you picture her very well, morally superior to everyone, in completely denial and don’t even consider the points of view of other
