@yourbaldhead As pointed out in a note in chapter 2.

@Chainsmoka My guess is she doesn't have enough strength to dive down, exit the boat and swim up on her own. Going by her late husband's estimated age, she's about 90. I think Konoe could've taken Ren just out of the boat and let him swim up on his on, and then go back to fetch her grandma, but...

@Danila Prey is actually older. And the only thing they have in common is the premise. And to be perfectly fair, the premise of ghosts/monsters that only become harmful if you let them know you can see them is one of the oldest and most common in East Asian horror. It has even spilled onto...

@matt619 More likely, those study rooms are mass produced, since our Korean translators say they have acquaintances who have them. But if you mean the whole bedroom, easy. Every webtoon artist recycles background, body postures and even facial expressions, but this one cheats A LOT. As the...

Oh, damn, arrogant genius is about the worst person Jaekyung could come across. I knew it, this series will end in tragedy. I can't see any way for him to escape this situation.

This is probably the tensest thing I'm reading now... and I feel it won't end well.

@Kradnam Prey is actually older, I think. In any case, the only similarity is the very basic premise of monsters who only become harmful if you acknowledge they exist. Which is a common trope of East Asian horror, anyway. The tone and execution are completely different. Prey is full-fledged horror.

I bet the first place guy just has high IQ… and it's game over for the protagonist.

@chapatty Just a heads-up in case you don't know, since it seems to be your first time translating a webtoon: have you downloaded all the raws in advance? Some time after a series is over at Naver, most chapters get paywalled and if you haven't saved all the raws before that happens, it will be...

Ah, wonderful, have been wanting to read this for a while. Good job, too!

@kiwisocks "First place" is working as an adverb there. "In" is unnecessary. It could be just "up first", but "place" is added to emphasise priority. Without it, "first" could imply just precedence of action. I've seen similar structures often while reading. I guess what falls within the limits...

@kiwisocks As I said, I don't read the chapters in English, but I didn't see a grammar mistake in the passage the other guy quoted. Are you sure you don't mean flow or style, instead of grammar?

@basbas That metaphor isn't usual in either English or Japanese. In both languages, the person has to stop and think. Quite a clunky thing to translate, in my opinion. Maybe LM&GS got it better? I dunno.

@Ciel @basbas This is a metaphor for how Soo-won organises things in mental boxes and decides which box he will put up above the others. From what I read in the comments, ETS's translator has been using that metaphor since it appeared in chapter 196. Basically, it's a metaphor for priorities. I...

@stewmberto I had read it. In the raws. What Kei-shuk said was わざと捕まったと？ It all hangs on the word わざと, which basically means "on purpose, intentionally, deliberately"; and on the verb 捕まる, "to be captured or arrested", and the way it's conjugated here, which is a plain past. So Kei-shuk's...

@xinneth Hyoo-ri didn't train Hak. Mundok did. Seriously, Hyoo-ri is the greatest Arse Pull of this series and this author. His introduction throws out of the window all her hard work playing Hak up as invincible, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Four Dragons, even allowing for...

Yeah, I know many people aren't honest about declaring their versions as MTL. But some are. And I think that could at least benefit readers like me who eschew MTL if we could filter those out. I know that such a flagging system could be abused. Some translators are just bad, others are lazy...

@Amina Well, he was a bad guy between the events in the flashback and his encounter with Hobin, though. What he was doing in his high school was inexcusable. My guess is that, like so many teens who don't know how to deal with this kind of thing, he channelled all his sorrow into anger and...

@Hollywillow When it's between Five Twenty Five and "no group", the latter is better. When it's between Evil Twin and one of the others, I don't know because I read the raws nowadays, but people say that Evil Twin is the inferior version, though I see some readers enthuse over some of their...

So… are Titans allowed in high school now? 'Cause I can picture Jean or Mikasa coming for that Ganno guy's nape on that last page.
