@XlAOXINGCHEN @bytegore Ok so from my understanding, you’re saying the author was inciting harassment towards the translator in your original post and yet all it has are other people having their own opinions on it. If you want to make a criticism post you should target the right people.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@XlAOXINGCHEN @bytegore No idea why you’re using me to try to justify some sort of discourse. I have no link with this author and wasn’t in their server or whatever. My opinions are completely my own based on awful decisions by the translation team in misrepresenting a beautiful work.

Not so gentle reminder that all of you who were assholes to her when the 4th cover dropped don't deserve this stunning art. If you took part in the dog piling which could have seriously damaged her career you don't get to just waltz back in and enjoy this cover guilt free now

@qinanyiyu Bro no way there’s none, I’ll go look

i never thought people wouldn't understand why monopolies are bad, but here i go. seven seas is pretty much a monopoly already. this is why they get away with making the quality of their novels worse every time while charging you the same. when you harm smaller publishers,

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Omg yeah, if they ever start using ai I think they’ll lose A LOT of customers cuz most people don’t play when it comes to any attempts at having AI replacing an art form.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Which I’ve bought A LOT of books from them, and after a lot of stuff came to light, I’ve cancelled all of my pre-orders. Just hoping another danmei publisher can license future series that I’ve enjoyed without messing them up.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Yeah its this, plus just overall not wanting to support 7s as a company, they’ve been pretty shady especially with MDZS v4 cover art with Ruthie where they failed to defend them for the decision that was made by 7s. They’ve also done union busting which is illegal in the U.S.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi I mean yeah we’re gonna disagree idk. But like why is it spelled a different way 😭, there’s no reason for it to be changed especially when people are used to it a certain way. Whatever, enjoy the pretty cover since you can.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi And when I say everyone else I mean everyone in the book, as you were mentioning before.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi I think that is actually the stupidest reasoning 😭 like why are we the readers supposed to read it a different way if everyone else is referring to him as An Zhe. Like WE already know he is a mushroom, it doesn’t need to be more obvious???

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Like it removes the significance because it lacks consistency is what I mean to say. It’s just a very strange, and in my opinion, not well defended choice on their part.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi That’s great that you’re Chinese, but like the significance of his name being spelled that way is still there? Like ok if they wanted it to be Anzhe, everyone else should be the same as Anze and Lufeng. How is that not strange to you ESPECIALLY as a Chinese speaker.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Yeah I guess with this part we’ll see but I really have low hopes after their previous reasoning for stuff.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi They also decided having Lu Feng as just a judge when arbiter really is the best title for him. We also don’t know what other liberties they’ve taken since no one actually has the physical book.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@joojkyung @CinnamonRoll64 @rinaXxiaochi Also the translators gave god awful reasoning, with multiple Chinese people saying what exactly is wrong with it on a technical level, so maybe go look into those instead of blindly believing people who wanted to be “unique” through another person’s work.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@kahmooii @moweiyuswifey I mean if you want to buy it go ahead it’s your money, I was more so responding to the other person who was being more rude about it. I guess I should have tagged them instead oops.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@moweiyuswifey @kahmooii Also as a customer, it’s totally valid to let the publisher know why you’re not planning to buy it so they can know exactly why they’re losing money.

[Leafstar1182 @leafstar1182]

@moweiyuswifey @kahmooii Maybe cuz some of us want to be able to reread the physical version??? Also like we have a right to complain bro don’t act like you’re better because you want to support an awful publisher. Which btw not their first controversy, look it up
