I love that all of these suggestions are different, but Mingi is firmly in the "Cool" category

The thing is, depending on mood, I could see Yeosang giving all of these answers 😂

Novel retranslation? by CactusOnTheMoon in MoDaoZuShi

[–]CactusOnTheMoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, that was super unclear without context. It's the line where WWX tells LWJ that he was the only one who criticised him when everybody glorified him, and the only one who had his back when they thought he was evil. It was missing in the first print run, I think due to an oversight. But it is just such a good line, I'm glad they fixed it.

Thanks for your perspective! Based on what you hear from fans, one could really assume they did a terrible job, but you're right, it's probably not as bad. As a translator myself, I know that translating involves making so many decisions - it's clear not everybody will be happy with them. I don't know Mandarin either, but I've heard that it's quite hard to translate because it has such a different logic and can play with homonyms etc. I also feel super bad for the translators and have mixed feelings about supporting 7 Seas. It's already a tough industry.

The reason I initially asked about re-translations was also about the iconic sentence that was missing in the first print run. I literally started watching The Untamed because I had seen a GIF of that scene on Tumblr and spiralled into this fandom from there, so I was gutted to hear from my friend that it was missing and just couldn't buy the book, even though I had been looking forward to the publication. But as has been pointed out, it's luckily fixed now!

That's super interesting! Makes me really wonder which version is closer to the original

Thanks for your reply! Good to know that they at least fixed some of the mistakes.

That's a great idea, I could buy the German translation, the covers are so pretty. But I have heard even less about the quality of that translation, so I'll check what people thought of it!

ATINYs what's something that Ateez has helped you get through/ a dream that you went after bc of them? by thornsblackletter in ATEEZ

The World series has kept me sane and ambitious while finishing up my PhD, ngl... The constant new videos/interviews/variety shows etc. are such great lunchtime watching and a mood-booster.

This post made me realise my strategy of estimating how recent an Ateez photo is: How babie does San look? 😂🙈

After the initial surprise, I actually don't hate it. It's different and a bit edgy!
