    Best comment: koddychi: "OMM(I'll abbreviate his name for now)" which is of course easier to write than Old Man Mo. x D
    And someone please correct wanderer for me like this:
    should've = should fucking have
    should of = you're a fucking idiot
    Thanks.

    People bitching about translation issues or people bitching about getting the story wrong? Both seen on Qidian (TM). :blobhero:

    People who read the chapter or novel with full seriousness and analyse it and those who just read them for a fun pass time.

    Oh, I see, then I'm the type that reads for fun.

    If I started to take Chinese fluff too seriously, I'd just get a headache... especially when the author trips on his own fluff.

    "And the planet had gazillions of people staring at stones that were millions of miles wide.... " -> a lot of people look at big stones

    Aren't most commenters of the first category then?
    I am definitely an analyzer. I think most people who comment anything other than your standard "thanks for the chapter" or equivalent are somewhat serious and analytical readers.

    Oh, you edited the picture.

    I get it now.

    Definitely the first type of reader.

    Yeah, or in my case I did once comment on a funny word choice that gave me the impression that the magic spell was formed of liquid excrement. It was basically a round-about reference to yellow snow... :)

    You know, a friendly warning to the author that his writing might be misunderstood that way...

    If by friendly warning you mean making fun of him then yes i do that too :blobfearful:
    edit: i remember one instance of a translator using 'breaking wind' technique or something. I commented how do you train it, by having your finger pulled?

    Well, I prefer to take the soft approach in those cases and keep it at the tone of a constructive suggestion... after all, I was catered to some good time and a funny mental image. :)

    Edit: And with my sick mind, once the switch is flipped, it becomes way too easy to find indecent double entendres.
