    Has anyone finish reading any of the machine translation?
    I try reading some but after 20 chapter or so my mind just explode.

    If you read over 1000 chapters of those i guess you got the brain of chu feng.(jk you got the brain of God.)


    Somebody in the comment gonna said nobody force u to read it.you stupid.

    If u read mga from lnmtl... I believe it is not too difficult to understand what is being conveyed...
    As unlike poetic issth... mga is too simple.... just fight.... girls..... rob.... cultivate..... repeat.....

    I've finished a few stories through MTL before. Some stories work better than others on it. Usually something not too plot heavy works best.

    depends on novel. some really ruins it and some is just painful to read but gives same expierience as noramlly translated ones.

    On topic: Most i read is 100 chapters of two novels and couple chapters of other novels but i agree my brain starts to hurt from decoding sentences and its true meanings

    that's probably best description of how i feel about MTL. i can understand story but rather than enjoy i had to force myself to read that's why i stopped doing that

    There is a website that adds glossary so that it would be more easier to "read" Chinese MTL novels.

    LNMTL.COM

    Oh no, that would be awful, when i use google to write some things i already gave a lots of wrong sentences, so i can only imagine how bad would be to try read a chinese or japanese novel through it...

    i read it trought website which had glossorie for names and few other stuff like techniques etc, so it was rather easier + if you found some words too confusing and clicked on them it showed chinese of that word so i just right clicked and googled so that's why i managed to read some.
    But it tbh it made me really appreciate translators even more than i did before
