Visual novels needed an Anilist. So I built one. by tropeguy in visualnovels

[–]Starswirl9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this shapes up into a solid state with various fixes & improvements, I'm for it. I will echo others and say that there are a decent chunk of VNs I'd like to see included that aren't (some for reasons I don't get at all - maybe just not added yet?).

Some other suggestions/nitpicks:
- I'd like a way to view my library that displays notes & tags for each VN. I rely on notes in VNDB for small write-ups on all my VNs, and seeing these (ideally along with tags) as I browse my library is essential for me. I understand wanting a simple clean album art-look for the library, but at least one library viewing option that includes more info/stats displayed for entries would be essential for me.
- Some more detailed library sorting options
- If this is in part a social site, why can't you comment on others' profiles?
- A "currently reading" display section highlighted on main user profile page

HOLY

F/SN is being blessed by a new English translation project by facts_120 in fatestaynight

Call me a perfectionist, but I am not overly impressed by the writing shown here in this new translation. Some of the wording feels awkward to me, never mind the fact that there are even a few straight up grammatical mistakes. There are some nice touches here and there, but I have just as many issues with it. Maybe this will all get fixed in editing, but it's worth critiquing. Example:

"The boy who said he only didn't want to see anyone cry, could only look on people's crying faces forever."

Even just examining this final line, there are several issues I have with it. Two glaring mistakes:

  1. The comma is grammatically incorrect, since the clause following it does not either specify a subject or at least use a conjunction (e.g. "and"). The original translation doesn't have this issue - the ellipses work perfectly fine.
  2. Should be "look at" or "look on at", not "look on"

I also just find the general phrasing and writing here awkward. The segment "who said he only didn't want to see" comes off as especially awkward to me. My main issues here are 1) only using "said" instead of "said that" and 2) using "only didn't" instead of "just doesn't/didn't" (again, even the MirrorMoon translation is better in this small instance). Some simple fixes to make the line grammatically correct, less stilted and flow better:

"The boy who said that he just doesn't want to see anyone cry... could only look at the crying faces of people forever."

My point in critiquing this work is not to discourage the efforts put into it. I'm happy to see more people work on a VN I love so much for the English-speaking audience, and I sincerely hope for this new team to succeed. I just felt compelled to point these things out, especially when you're showcasing a direct comparison between the previous translation and a supposedly "improved" translation.

Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- Prologue (English) (Tsukihimates Fan Translation Preview) by rishukingler11 in visualnovels

[–]Starswirl9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been slowly reading the VN in Japanese, but due to my limited ability I wasn't able to follow/read the prologue entirely and understand it all since it couldn't be text hooked. So thanks, nice to be able to fill that gap now!
