Hi, FNG here (well, 4/12/15 9:18pm GMT+8 is this acct's BDay so I'm gonna start counting my years here as a registered member)
What I am?
I am a avid unregistered reader waaaaay back the last decade. amateur (Or should I say, wannabe?) translator (Currently self-studying Japanese at the moment) I am fluent in English (well, in written forms actually, I'm not so good at oral communication) I know my translation have flaws, many flaws, but you can help in correcting them. Or PLEASE CORRECT THEM. It will be a great help to me.
Why do I came here:
WARNING: TLDR
TBH i like "amateur" translations most coz they don't change the context much, well, with the exception of language and culture barriers of course. When I bought the official English Publication of a Novel I want I was disappointed. it feels the same way like I was reading my math books. The mood was turned off and the excitement that I felt when reading the official was lost and my hopes crushed. I have even abstained myself from reading the novel translated here just to feel the excitement again just like the first time I read it (Honestly I have read the amateur translations to the point of memorizing it) but as I compare the novel "here" and "there" there is a very big difference between the two. So much to my disappointment, I tried to "learn" the language and culture of the Japanese itself. But still, I doubt my translations would please the readers because I'm new to the Japanese language so please feel free to edit my works. In fact I would appreciate it gladly if you proofread it because I might change the whole meaning or a part of a story.--Arsl31 (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2015 (CDT)
