When I was little I traded my Mewtwo pokemon card for a Magikarp card. It may seem a bit bad, but one day I ran out of toilet paper and I praised to the fact that I had that same traded Magikarp card with me that fateful day.

How a brave magikarp made a sacrifice. (What makes it funnier is that magikarp is a fish and people usually say they flush them down toilets) xD

Too much alcohol is expensive.

Started reading the DxD novels and nearly died. I'm sure it's written like crap in Japanese but this translation is horrendous.

Spoiler:
On our first date after we started dating�

I was ready to use the plan that I had made a while back.

Fufufu, I�ve brushed my teeth dozens of times since yesterday night. There is not a single place I missed.

I even bought new pants. You can�t tell what will happen after all.

I arrive to the date spot with the attitude of a super virgin guy.

I arrive at the meeting spot three hours before Yuuma-chan did. I counted up to a hundred girls who wore glasses walking pass in front of me!

During that time, I received a suspicious leaflet from a weird person handing out leaflets.

It was an occult-looking thing with a weird magic-circle and a sentence - �Your dream will be granted!� - written.

......I want to throw it away, but I decide to put it in my pocket since I can�t throw it away now.


All but one of the 17 novels are translated meaning there are still 12 volumes of new material for me to read. Guess I'll skip to vol 5 and see if it improves, if not I'll be forced into waiting for new animus with the rest of the plebs.

Terrible translations of books that aren't particularly well written in the first place. I can't write for ♥♥♥♥ but I'm sure I could knock out a LN of *insert trope ridden fanservicefest series that probably got an anime* quality in a week or two.

36. Well, when a translator stupidly whines in his or her translator's notes about how unbelievable it was that there were people who hadn't heard of Wikipedia in 2008, I'm going to be extremely prejudiced about their translation the rest of the way, because it then reads like it was done by someone with a superiority complex. And the notes for volume 2 just keep going downhill in quality. :\

EDIT: And now he's just whined about the fact that a FICTIONAL CHARACTER is a DBZ fan in a translator's note.

Could be worse. You could be reading Google Translate like with a lot of other untranslated nor heard of works. Also I think people are forgetting that Light Novels are supposed to be written in grade school reading level. That's why the Light Novel distinction was made in the first place.

Then again we're talking about "kiddy" video games, comic books and cartoon shows here.

Being aimed at a younger audience is not an excuse for poor writing. Of course it isn't going to be The Castle by Franz Kafka but it doesn't have to be a trope filled mess direct from the mind of a horny year 9 student. There are light novels away from the otaku sector that would probably be more comparable to some of the young adult fiction in the west, so we shouldn't judge completely on what we get. Also I'm sure sub par translations sully perfectly readable series from the otaku sector, I'm obviously not a snob about that.
