    Ever seen things like the author enforcing his beliefs on a novel where the setting for instance is medieval times or where sexism is prevalent, but he keeps editing sentences into things like 'he or she could ..' because assuming only a 'he' could do something is sexist. Where i'm like, did you not notice the setting of the novel?
    Author specifically mentions women as having less physical strength , translator 'women are seen as having less strength'.
    I don't have to agree with the author i just want to know what he's conveying lol. :facepalm:

    Like they said on South Park, if you kept renovating / rebuilding the Colosseum every year it wouldn't be a classical building.

    Are we translators supposed to make up one? :hmm::hmm::hmm:

    i see, simple solution: on the main page of the novel, say "This novel doesn't have any chapter titles in the raws"

    Wow, people are really passionate about this topic, huh~

    As for me, I like chapter titles. I don’t mind spoiling myself a bit if it saves me time reading a novel I might not like. For my own projects, I hide chapters of various story arcs under their own expand tag. I guess I’m fortunate that my novels don’t have particularly spoilery titles....sometimes readers guess something off the title and it turns out to happen in the complete opposite way. Heh.

    I guess I prefer chapter titles since spoilers don't matter to me and if I go into the ToC it is usually to find a specific point in the story, which would be easier with titles.

    Yes, cause it's been like 5 months since I read it and I didn't know the bookmark got deleted when the browser crashed. And people who read it will surely know because Tang Tian isn't rejoined by his 5 home planet friends all the time it only happens once in the first 350-500 chapters. Now you only need to look up which fight it is.
