    I showed you correct translation from the definition in Korean dictionary. You keep trying to use references to old chinese meanings that are antiquated at best. Your words hold no weight because you are a terrible translator who tried using Google translate to back up the definition of a word.

    what translation? you just put a definition from a dictionnary. nothing like a translation. LOL.
    old references? Tho I shoved you definitions and translated word for군벌 from several sources. But you must be blind. too bad.
    Wow, your argument is google translate? well, what about all the other sources like said just on the line above then? Oh sorry! my bad, you have selective blindness. RIP your eyes.

    You're also known for changing the title at a whim too you know.

    깨어나라, 최강의 능력자!
    Rise, Strongest Warrior

    This is a webnovel you picked up and basically dropped.
    You're only translating a chapter every 3 months or so to prevent others from picking it up.

    But let's look at the title.

    깨어나라
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Why is it "Rise" when it should clearly be "Awaken"

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Why are you using "warrior" when it doesn't say "전사" in the title?
    Doesn't it say "능력자" which is like an ability user or something?

    [​IMG]
    Even the cover art makes it look like the MC is using some sort of ability or psychic powers. I don't see him wearing any armor or swords. So what's up with that?

    Your sources mean nothing when they're translation tools/site, and the definition from a korean dictionary says otherwise. I truly feel bad for your stubborn nature making you look like a fool.

    1. 깨어나라 there doen't always mean "awake" but you wouldn't know anyway cuz you don't know korean.
    2. no english equivalent to 능력자 cuz 능력자 can be translated into many things depending on the context. but you don''t know korean.
    true that warrior is not the direct translation but it was chosen by the translator in charge of it.
    Moreover, it was hard to find better alternatives.
    3. I didn't agree to the title at first but then agreed at the end because otherwise, it looked weird.
    4. this novel was never asked to be picked up and nobody picked it up. Not my fault. there's novels that have been picked up from our website so your argument is invalid, beep beep.
    5. lovely to see you and the other guy are licking asses each other.

    You take this as argument lol. I somehow saw that coming.
    If no accurate, precise and general translation is possible, it's okay to find alternatives that fits. I've never objected that but then this, you have never searched I guess.

    Bear in mind, I asked an actual korean translator to see the difference between "Rise" & "Awaken" | "Warrior" & "Ability User / Psychic"

    If you don't even translate, what do you even do?

    Are you mentally slow? It has already been said multiple times now that an antiquated definition that contextually and temporally doesnt fit makes no sense. You are ignoring the literal modern day definition above that and focusing on something so irrelevant it makes my brain hurt. Congrats on being this dense.

    Psychic = 초능력자 while 능력자 can be understood in various ways. feat. 김종국
    Also, rise cuz referring to common knowledge(?) from games or novels. Rise, O hero, zombies, etc. You barely see awaken. tho awaken is right too depending in which way you see it.
    I still translate things outside of my website. just not novels anymore. not because I don't translate novels that it means I'm no translator.

    contextually, I've already said but you already forgot. temporally, the word still comes from there, I've already shown all the sources and it never meant a militia, to begin with.
    Well, no point in answring you since you keep ignoring everything I said and repeat the same thing over just to say I'm wrong and whatever.
    Can't have an argument when you just ignore everything except when you conveniently pick things you want to use against me.
    Okay I surrender, you have your spiritual victory. I just can't win someone with convictions.

    PS: just as a side note, your profile image is just utterly ugly man...yurk every time I have to see that image. Does someone know if there is a way to just hide that particular image?

    Imagine you can't argue, so you have to default to leaving snide remarks about my profile picture. Pathetic.

    whatever, i'm fed up talking to a wall. You think whatever you want, I've wasted enough of my time and effort to answer you, only to see it fell on deaf ears.
    Btw, for the first time, I'll ignore someone because I just can't deal with more of your idiocy. You can have your spiritual victory, hurray. congratulation.
    No one else, just you. Not even panda, not even other MCM fanatics.

    Assuming that author can't speak English more fluently.. Or even checking if he said anything in MSM discord. It's not like you are blocked from joining in, even with unclaimed account. Why I say so? I'm using unclaimed accounts for sake of privacy and to not fuck up with official account I have for other stuff.

    why should I go to MSM's discord? and unlike MSM, I just don't go lurk or spy, nor create accounts for that purpose. Even less do I want to go there cuz just thinking about going into their space, it makes me puke. NUF is far enough for me.

    btw, you talk about professionalism in the other thread but MSM is the only one masturbating themselves with that word. I never pretended to be professional and this is not even my job. At most you could talk about conscience about being a translator and such but that's it.

    Rotfl.. "Spying." I don't have any idea what is worthy of spying in TL discords... what the group plans to release?
    It was said that author is there I think or at least I saw him. Thus it's easy to check for example if he said anything and what to figure out his knowledge about English language.

    And if thinking about going into their discord makes you puke... Really. Go see a specialist. It's not normal and it will just get worse in your public life.

    What they do in their discord, I don't fucking care unless words come out. I don't want to sneak in there, period. if you want to prove me something, just put screenshots here, that'll do. you are free to do so.

    If you take "making puke" as literally, you are the one who needs to go to see a specialist. you kind of sound like a person who would say "go to see a specialist" and scream even to people who does kill visitors in RC2 or sims. You take everything word by word? Jesus.

    Considering your attitude and everything else.. Yeah. With you I wouldn't be surprised if it literal.

    Also don't be lazy. Just join their discord and see that he is there.

    P.S. I just knew few people who reacted literally by puking almost puking by mention of things.
    P.S.2. If I would do that... I should be the one going to specialist as my favorite stuff in sims.. was killing them so yeah.
