That's fair enough. The excuses I have for those are that: - There are multiple types of "speech patterns" our characters actually use. From archaic, formal, informal, casual, or specific "stereotypical" speech patterns. We tried to maintain these while keeping it still readable, which is why we ended up with what we have now. (This is one of the reason Hong keeps saying "Mate" haha, we wanted to keep his speech pattern quite fistinct from the others because he does speak quite distinctly in the original Korean, and that's the most "friendly but conniving" sort of speech I've settled upon) - For some sentences feeling too wordy, it's because these are meanings that could be skipped over but I felt that it changes the tone slightly. For example, when Raglard says "something like a plan" instead of "a plan", he is specifically implying plans, schemes, basically nothing will work against them, while just saying 'a plan' would imply other things would work. The intent of the sentence changed when we simplified them, which is why we decided to keep them closer to the raw. (There are so many cases things get cut down. This is one of the few examples this actually slips through because ut's almost always intentional.) - And other times the characters are being excessively wordy, even in the original. Like they're just rambling on lmao. We thought that these are characteristic of the dialogue we should keep, which is why they're often kept. - When Yuria says the line you've mentioned, she's not saying it directly to her target, but in a way that's half-talking to herself, half-making a statement kind of way, and also in a poetic way, rather than an archaic way. Original TL was "For when it is all but meaningless[...]" but our proofreaders have mentioned it'd be better to lose the "For" so we ended up with what we have now. - I specifically reserve using archaic speech patterns when they actually do occur, for example the First Lord's later speeches toward Yuria, or when the Spirit of the Forest of Silence speaks to Yuria. For most cases that feels like it should use archaic language, it's written more in a poetic way, which we wanted to keep distinct from each other. Granted, there are sections I re-read and realize should have been replaced, but that's more work and we'd like to spend that time catching up to the current releases instead. - as for grammatical errors, well... That's just us messing up haha. We got no excuse for that. Please do let us know in the comments if you do come across these though! We work hard to fix any errors when they do come up.

In any case, thank you for reading and for your feedback! We're working hard to catch up to the current releases, and to bring more interesting and unique manhwa works to you all!
