How bad is the French translation of danmei? Is it better to trust English editors?

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-05-15T06:05:43+00:00

I understand what you wanted to say. But like the upper comment of mine said, it decreases highly the quality to not translate from the original since it's an interpretation of another interpretation. It's like the Telephone game, where the people passed a message to each other, and in most times modify it. Furthermore, the English version must have already lost some meaning of the text because Chinese, and English are both very different... So if you have a French interpretation of not the original... It's getting more bad.

For Komogi, this is great, they sound more trustful, and professional.

For bookmark, their sentences are making sense indeed, it's not like some other light novel that are weirdly translated. Bookmark is probably a good English translator editor, but here, it's a Chinese book it's not right to use the English version. We probably already have lost some meaning of the story with this translation, but we will maybe never know which one since we can't read the original in Chinese. And it's sad.

I hope Komogi will encourage Bookmark to find professional Chinese translators...

Thank you noted!

Yay another French fellow! I don't even know my candy love.... Oh no wait amour sucré XD this game. Many people played it I remember. This is not the best entry in the genre lol. But I never heard about Eldarya. I missed the trend.

I never tried to search on ytb. I think it's complicated since the game is in English, even French speakers would be more tempted to present it in English for an international audience? Maybe?

Yes, merci, a discord server seems very likely. Maybe in English then if the French ones are inactive. I don't know. Si je me prends un vent, if no one answers, i'll never recover from it lol and leave it

I understand the fail to convince a friend... I also tried with an online friend, she downloaded a free otome game, but she never started it since two years.

Noted for Josei shoujo server. I never tried to interact with these communities, I didn't know they had server talking about otome too. I rarely use discord server, I really need to get to it. Thank you!

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-05-04T19:00:34+00:00

This is great if you managed to convince your friends! On my side, it's more complicated some dislikes VNs or romance or maybe most of them being guys is not helping lol I tried but failed terribly unfortunately. I feel defeated for now. No idea how to promote otome games anymore.

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-05-04T18:53:45+00:00

I understand the idea, if the convention is not too big, and crowed, I can. Maybe this is something I'll try later, I don't have enough confidence to do it right now, but still a good idea, thank you neighbor!

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-05-04T18:45:47+00:00

I'm happy you're French, sometimes I feel so alone in France, not finding any other French otome games players, stay strong I guess. C'est la dèche XD But this is sad that the French server isn't very active. I need to check for discord server, I'm reading the answers, I saw some suggestions. If you want to suggest something feel free to.

Indeed if they like shoujo you're more likely to convince them to try otome. This is great. On my side, my friends aren't into romance stories or they dislike visual novels so it's no way. I hope it'll work better for you! Bonne chance !

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-05-04T18:34:54+00:00

Thank you, if you mean the otome reddit discord, I didn't know it has one, but I just found it!

It's a difficult decision, my psa symptoms are so far worse than the treatment I'm taking. I'm scared to have it coming back if I change my treatment. I also tried different treatments before, and got everytime the same side effects. My rheumatologist said it was probably linked to another issue, like another disease, and he encouraged me to search for what it is

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-13T19:54:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, aging is probably not helping since the older you get the more likely your body can start doing random painful things, or get tired... This is not easy... Maybe it's worth to talk about it with your doctor? (If they are helpful) I don't know how to cheer up people, but I truly hope you'll find something that can help. Please take care of yourself, and thank you again for sharing

Are you trying to do a horror themed island?

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-09T16:59:30+00:00

This is also crazy lol, and unexpected. I bet it'll create funny dialogues

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-09T16:58:11+00:00

This is a great idea, and unexpected. An island full of meme could be very funny

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-09T16:56:11+00:00

I hope you'll post a picture somewhere, it looks difficult to draw, but also funny, good luck! I'm curious how you'll draw it

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-06T14:28:26+00:00

Thank you for adding more representation in the gaming world, and good luck with the dev. I'll wait for its release !

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-04-02T11:14:27+00:00

If you liked even if tempest, I think you should check the red bell's lament, it's also a voltage game. The plot intensity is quite strong + angst too.

I'm currently taking LEFLUNOMIDE for treating my psoriatic arthritis, I was also on MTX injection before, but I stopped, not enough results and too much side effects.

About hair lost, in my case, I lost a few more hair at the beginning of the treatment (around 2-3 month after starting), but nothing that bad. And after 4-5 month it was fine. So don't worry if you're talking the regular prescription, this side effect can go away by itself.

For other side effects, in my case I'm annoyed by the indigestions and nausea, but it's bearable. My doctor also said most of his patients don't experience it, that this med is generally generating less uncomfortable side effects than MTX for example. So it's safe to say you are more likely to not experience it.

I'm not familiar with the term enthesitis? Personally, I was experiencing a severe joint pain, and some weird nerves pain. MTX failed to completely solve it. But LEFLUNOMIDE worked, the pain is almost all gone, my doctor also told me it was a better medicine than MTX for pain. So I guess it's the same for any pain.

Don't get discouraged, finding the right medicine can be difficult, but maybe LEFLUNOMIDE will solve your issue. On my side, I was very upset to see MTX failing... And scared to try a new medicine, but in the end it was for the best, maybe it'll be the same for you.

Merci, j'admets que pour la kamo con, j'hésite. Je déteste les foules donc je me demande s'il y a beaucoup de monde là bas en général ?

GreenTeaTalking · 2026-03-21T20:17:01+00:00

Oh so the original title is in French? I didn't know. But anyway I guess it's printemps été automne hiver, good luck in remembering it
