Ngl I always wonder how translations can be so… bad sometimes. Reading it in English, just leaves you scratching your head sometimes. Like someone types out the Japanese text, a second individual translated each line at random, a third then just copy pasted it in, and the final touched up things to make it not look shit. And at no point does anyone actually sit down and read the end result, because whole words are missing, or random letters are missing, or genders are incorrect, or the sentences just make no damn sense.

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t do all that myself by any means. But as a reader I’m just sat wondering how such obvious mistakes are overlooked.
