As you can see in my weekly “what have you read” posts, I’m a fantasy reader. AND I FUCKING HATE IT when they use modern vernacular or words that just shouldn’t exist in that world. For example, in the last LN I’ve read, they baked some danishes. Are you telling me they have a country in that world that is also called Denmark, where they invented the same pastry? What an incredible coincidence.
And then there is something like this:
I hate modern meme-speak in a fantasy setting even more. If I were in a position where I had any say over this, I would immediately fire and blacklist any translator who does this on their first offense. No second chances, no nothing. Whoever put meme-speak into a fantasy novel is inherently incompatible with what I expect from a translation on a fundamental level. (This obviously only applies when the source isn’t using the same type of language. Meme-speak to Meme-speak is okay, I go beat up the author in that case.)
I made this post so that I could pick a fight / complain about @wjs018@ani.social
Why did you convince me to pick up TsukiMichi!
It was being released monthly but as soon as I start reading it they stop. Just as it got to a good part, hinting at something exciting in the next volume the publisher stops releasing and hasn’t mentioned the next volume yet!
Mwahahaha! All according to keikaku…
I had been waiting for a new volume of Eminence in Shadow for so long that I wanted somebody else to join me in my suffering. The irony being that there is a new TEIS slated for April now (in Japanese though), so my suffering has an end in sight.
In the same vein, where is the next Average Abilities and Death March? Neither has a set release date for the next volume!
and Death March
😭
