== is anyone else having trouble following this? ==

the writing style is really throwing me off, it seems to be almost audio based.


you get 

"line of dialogue"

"line of dialogue"

"line of dialogue"

*sound effect* 

with no indicator of who is actually speaking, or what action caused the sound effect.


frankly its really hard to follow at some points.

does each character have some sort of distinctive speaking style in the original Japanese? something to make it easy to tell who is saying what?

The thing is that each character in a light novel has a unique speech pattern and each sound effect in japanese is very specific, so it's easier to follow. --[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 11:35, 9 October 2013 (CDT)



I realize that is the case, but as Iamnuff said this is rather difficult to read with how the writing scheme goes. In Japanese it is probably much easier to distinguish between the various speakers, but in English where there's not much to distinguish them between it would make it much easier if something was added to distinguish. Even something like (text is from the book with -speaker added):

"Restless bastard, I'll turn you into dengaku on sticks[3]!" - Imagawa Spearmen 1

"I am telling you guys to stop!" - Sagara Yoshiharu

Even something simple like would make it easier. Though the above makes it look like a script. But you get the idea.

Would anyone able to properly follow this be willing to go through and do the above request of adding in the speakers into the text, please? Even if it's something simple like the above sample. I love the story. I've seen the anime and read some of the manga and would love to read the original novel but the writing scheme is just to difficult to follow without consulting something else such as the manga, but the manga only covers so much of the story, so again, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

haha, i'll admit. At times I do have to reread some parts because of the lack of personification, but it's not as bad as your making it sound. The work of going through and adding in a line for a speaker or adding more personification at this point would be quite a arduous task. Tarmade our translator is still learning the trade and improving so there will be parts that are hard to read or characters that sound out of character.
