    On another device I first enjoyed the charm of Mtl where I didn't have to wait for the translators anymore. Just google the Chinese title and click on translate this page, then I was on the road to forgetting my English grammar.

    What happened later though was that my device got super duper heavy and laggy.

    I don't know wither it was because of those Chinese websites or because frankly that device sucked (HDD and 4 gb ram core i3 processor and I was using it like a work horse)
    So anyway... now I have a series I want to mtl so badly.. it's not on the English Mtl sites.

    Just wondering did anyone else experience this "Chinese websites phenomenon?"

    I read mtl once and only few chapters but when I read on my phone, in general, there are days when I can read normally and there also are days where any site can lag a lot for me idk why.

    Thought MTLs only kill brain cells, didn't know they could kill cell phones, too. Darn, guess they're wholesale killers! :blobpeek:

    ahh I google the title of the book I want to read and open one of the sites.

    There is a site named 69shu or something. I found it user friendly.

    Reading mtl does give me a headache. But for cn raw sites, I make sure I look for the website with the least advertisements. And they do exist. They're not a myth. You just need to look very, very hard.

    I mostly read on jjwxc or shubaow and sometimes on sites with a lot of ads and never had the problem.

    Google Translate, Bing Translate, Jisho and Syosetu never gave me any problems if that helps...

    I've never had this problem with shubaow and jjwxc. Maybe it's really caused by the site you use?

    But sometimes I fail to find those ad free sites and read the novels on those weird sites which are bombarded with NSFW ads. :notlikeblob::notlikeblob::notlikeblob:

    Normally they only kill my brain cells and phone battery (on some websites), but besides that, it’s alright.
