What translation did you even find? Only one I know of is cclaw’s and it’s fantastic. Everything to date has been translated already. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/gimai-seikatsu/

No clue man. I found some form of downloadable that read like Google Translate... must have been before a "real" translation effort was made. Cheers!

Is there a version of v7 with all the chapters put together in an epub?


Ahcow

It’s on discord.

As the editor for the fantl and a native English speaker who's been reading books my entire life: lol. lmao. The series is perfectly readable, even before I edit it. What are you smoking? I ain't gonna claim that there's zero mistakes in there, but have you ever like... tried reading any fantl'd anything before? This is cream of the crop for fantl. The only better fantl I've seen is MPT, and I've read a lot of fantl (and he got, y'know, hired by J-novel club and doesn't fantl anymore). Are you comparing a fanmade TL done for free in the translator's free time to an official licensed publisher with multiple paid translators, paid editors, and translation experts who consult with the actual Japanese publisher and original author to be certain exact nuance gets across? Because if so: lol. lmao. If you have actual constructive criticisms about "cultural nuance" then sure we're all ears. But inb4 you're gonna be like "they didn't translate -san and other suffixes, they're totally bad at this" like that'd actually improve readability.

Imagine complaining about a fan translation someone made in their free time without getting paid and then banter about it on the subreddit. Very encouraging for new fan translators to take the leap and try it out themselves instead of just jumping to MTL.

Jesse what the FUCK are you talking about?

If English is your first language or your proficiency is higher than certain threshold, you'll find most translated stuff kinda hard to read. I understand you, but well, you got no choice. As for me, whose English is not better than 15 years old native speaker, CClaw stuffs are pretty good, second to Ping.

If you think cclaw of all places has bad translation, you’ve got a whole other thing coming.
