Ever finished a novel with machine translation?

Twice while unemployed...
Zhanlong and Btth

Then arifureta

 

Have not finished any. Did read some though

 

I don't think I've mtl'ed more than 10 chapters at a time and that was mind numbing.

 

So true i'm finding myself correcting/ making sense of the grammar to the point of getting a headache and can't enjoy the story

 

I find as you keep going, your brain starts to make connections with certain phrases and after awhile reading MTL does become easier. Names are the worst (luckily LNMTL.com does name replacement for most characters and terms) for me to connect.

If you do plan on reading MTL's I suggest you read some translated chapters first to get the basic terms down, then start the MTL chapters. That way you can start making connections between certain phrases and names (such as war for duel).

I find reading MTL chapters good practice for learning how to read information dense texts that a typically found in the sciences (especially graduate school level science classes).

 

unique legend, because of my curiosity o.o

 

No, I couldn't go past 4 1/2 chapters of LMS.. tbt to when I thought I could translate volume 23 of LMS lol

After reading bad grammar, your brain adapts to it such that you are satisfied with sentences that actually don't make sense even though they make sense all together in a paragraph. My grades in English were poor for the STAR tests for about 2 years.

MTL=not healthy for growing brains
