    Yeah you did. Also you say you remember what the Chinese honorific means, but in your first post you explicitly confess to "not understand a single thing about the story of that novel" because of the honorific. As I see it, you're just reluctant to adapt and have bad faith.

    I read Spanish novels and they use their very own honorific as well, like Don, Senor, Dona, etc, you get used to it, and it gives a personal touch, an authentic feeling about it.

    Omg, the worst is To Be a Virtuous Wife. Holy actual fuck, I read the first chapter, just kinda rubbed my eyes, and understood literally none of it.

    Isnt that jap thing you read are all translated too? You are fine with it but not with chinese? Your excuse is because its easier to understand since you read manga and watch anime?

    Isnt that mean that you are already familiar with the jap term, thus you accept it? Why cant you do that to chinese? Why dont you familiarize your fucking rude self with chinese? Theres no explanation? This is 2016, you need to learn what google is.

    Didnt you said that it depend on preferences? Isnt that mean "case closed"? If you dont like what other people like then go away, dont come, dont read, dont even think about it. Is there any harm done if you are not reading it? Fucking NO!!! You said you are just complaining? You dont even have the right! Nobody force you to read it, just get out and read something that you like instead of bitchin what other people like to do.

    Lol.

    Drop the honorifics and just remember the names. I had the same problem, but finally adjusted when I did this.

    So I'm the Bad one now cuz I'm DEMANDing the Translator to change what he's doing. And even sharing it and made it to a thread because I hate him. But Well I'm pretty sure I created this thread because I want to know if someone has the same feeling when facing the same problem. Hehehe well. Haters will always be haters after all. The wrong one I did here is share where did I read that when someone ask. But I'm pretty sure I didn't post this to demand. After all I didn't say the translator and the novel. So don't cry kids. I don't hate you

    For some reason, I don't think you're very mature yourself...:rolleyes:
    Edit: just another case of 'the pot calling the kettle black'.

    Kid? I bet my pinky is as long as your body son. I your father am saying that its a translated novel and that not every thing can be translated and maid to fit into correct grammatical English that isn't laughable or corny. If you translate everything in the entirety the reader wont only just get a good deal of what the author is really saying (as the TL will have to alter a good amount of things) you'd also get tons of in story parenthesis with the TL being forced to tell you what's going on in the story. Your making ton's of work for the TL and making it so that a load of people will have to work to figure out whats going on.

    A translated novel is different from a native written novel. Its bound to have foreign terms in the mix other wise whats the difference between this story and an English written one? The majority of people like the exotic feel of the not so familiar words.

    Calling your Granddaddy kid, your practically slapping your own face! Greater picture my ass

    if this is Demon's diary. I too found this confusing as did many others. the translator fixed it in later chapters but they failed to go back and change it in the earlier ones. after they fixed it the story became clears...on a personal note I thought these were peoples names and it was really confusing...lol

    Ahh, hypocrisy at a level higher than the Roman Orthodox Catholic Church.
    Or was it the protestant church, I dunno.
    It was the one that had a commandant that was like, "don't kill people" but you can kill them if they're heathens.
    or something like that
    whoops, went on a tangent.

    i dunno about CN novels, but I don't mind some JP like honorifics and what not in novels, a few other words i dont mind is "ano" and "etto" because they both mean "umm" and hearing a girl go "ummm" doesn't sound cute, and we all know the priority in translation is to make the heroines sound cute.



    also, 90% of honorifics sound like shit in english, sorry.


    i dont want to be reading fucking "lord X" every time they call someone X-sama, or when a character has that trope where they call them like "shigeru-nii", im not gonna call the dude brother shigeru.....

    Well, there won't be a problem if you binge-read it but it is a problem when you are waiting for a new chap cause you might have forgotten what it meant by then.
