    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Vol. 8 Ch. 41 - Book

    @Kaarme @timidhakana Yeah, the main problem is the time period is unclear. That's why it seems weird. The fake Chinese kingdom looks REALLY ancient. That is at best the look of Ming dynasty or Early Qing, which is the 1600s. Maybe even older. Glass fishbowls and chocolate candies doesn't exist...

    The Villainess Turns the Hourglass - Vol. 2 Ch. 52

    Fddffdd On one hand I understand full well the writer wanting to write uwu romances because I would've done the same, but as a reader for some reason no matter how amazing and respectful and great the ML is, I don't ship it and I just want to see MC do her revenge and become an independent...

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Vol. 8 Ch. 41 - Book

    I have to say, I know it's just fantasy but the bits of modern stuff (glass fishbowl, chocolate, alcohol disinfectant) ruins the mood a bit for me. You can't keep saying "From the West" as an excuse for everything, because even "the West" is once upon a time not that advanced. @thanghe 小蘭...

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Maomao no Koukyuu Nazotoki Techou - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Aphrodisiac

    I still boggle about the chocolate thing. Does it really have that sort of effect, Lmao... @Yori-chan I was surprised about Xiaojie too!! Apparently it really was the term used for courtesans in the Song Dynasty.

    Cheating Men Must Die - Vol. 10 Ch. 202 - The criminal offences of A Villainess -- An ex's remaining value

    Well... I guess I can't fault the translators for preserving errors and just gripe at the author/creator for WHY BAD JAPANESE?! For a shop/cafe/restaurant, you welcome someone with "irasshaimase", not "youkoso". All the -kun honourifics really should've been -sama or -san. Can't complain...

    Gariben Jimi Moe Reijou wa, Ore-sama Ouji nado Oyobi denai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - An Invitation to a Dance Party

    Izm glaf the friend finally gets it through that Sharina is not interested in the prince. It would be one thing if she is just herself all excited and fangirling, but she sounded like she's trying to make Sharina get equally hyped up together and it's rather annoying :/

    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House - Vol. 16 Ch. 169 - Sumire and Her Mother

    @Esasaeriri You are never "too old" to be a geisha, not even if you're 40, 50, 60. There is a geisha named Kokin, for example, who is still performing and she's 98 years old. Geisha often retire to marry, or just leave the profession to go do something else (e.g going to uni), but it would be...

    Cheating Men Must Die: The Evil Consort is Busy - Ch. 3 - Thousand layered Strategy

    Ah the goat cart. I remember that was a real thing in Chinese history. It was the emperor Wu from the Jin dynasty. Spreading salt and bamboo to lure the goats is a real tactic used by the concubines in his harem.

    Cheating Men Must Die: The Evil Consort is Busy - Ch. 2 - Infiltrating the palace

    I'm pretty sure somewhere in the deep recesses of Chinese webnovels an actual novel with this sort of stupid plot really exist, yuck
