Picky Translator on the Loose π½️
Hi everyone! Ughhh, I’m so sorry for disappearing for almost five weeks! π I swear, it’s not that I’m lazy — it’s just that there’s literally no good novel to translate! Like, the world has millions of novels but not even one decent one for me?! Tragic. π
So, my tiny brain suddenly went, “Hmm… maybe one brain isn’t enough. Time to borrow everyone else’s!” π€£ If you’ve got a novel you love and want me to translate, drop the title in the comments! I’ll read it first, and if it passes my drama queen standards, I’ll pick it up.
Fair warning — I’m a super picky reader. Like, Michelin-star picky. π½️ I can read random stuff for fun, sure, but translating something I hate? Nope, that’s a straight ticket to mental breakdown land. When I’m reading, I might rage-quit halfway. But when translating, it’s basically signing a long-term relationship with the story. If I don’t love it, I’ll start crying halfway through. π
Anyway, I hope you guys understand! π Oh, and quick heads-up: there are three things I absolutely cannot stand — harem/reverse harem, Mary/Gary Sues, and overpowered protagonists. My soul leaves my body every time I see those. π
Also… I was casually browsing and saw that someone actually remade the short story I translated (Heavenly Eye)? I mean, yeah, I make mistakes here and there, but come on—my translation wasn’t that bad that it needed a full-on remake. That’s just rude. π
Just because I’m “nobody” and they’re from some group with a thousand releases, they think they can do this to me? I always check NU to see if a novel I like has already been translated. If someone’s done it, I move on. But this… this feels like a personal slap. Honestly, I’m just annoyed. π
Might delete this rant later, haha π
hi! if you have no problem translating bl can you please translate The Substitute Awaken? (kneels humbly) i actually used to read cn novel on wattpad but they did this massive cleansing with no warning and everything is gone and now i can't find a lot of books anymore. i genuinely feel sorry for the tls who posted because some of them had hundreds of stories and it was all gone just like that along with their accounts at least if there was warning they could have unpublished the books. sigh.
ReplyDeleteplease check it out if you don't mind
Aww, thank you so much for giving me that novel title! I really appreciate your support and the time you took to reply. Haha, yeah… I’m a bit conflicted about BL. I can definitely read it myself, but this might sound a little hypocritical… I just can’t translate it. When I read it, it’s just me and the story. But if I translate it… well, you know how that would end up. I’m really sorry about this! π
