    So as title say's I'm about to try my first full LNMTL novel, I don't know what to expect I'm hesitant to even go with it because I fear not liking it and wasting a novel which I'm really interested in so yeah. I mean once I go through with it I'll have to reread from chapter one so that the bad grammar and sentence structuring can become "normal" to me. If you guys are curious it's "The Strongest Legend of Dragon Ball".

    Finally please share your LNMTL experiences, are all of the shit, should I not do it?

    what the question really comes down to is, how impatient and desperate are you?

    No! Don't ever let it become normal to you.

    The first time hurts, but you'll get used to it.

    Cough

    Don't try to completely comprehend the text, read it like you're in a roller coaster.

    I feel like LNMTL is like a drug or addiccion.
    U know the translation is awfull, u know when u stop you have to wait a long time for the translation to catch up, but still, u cant stop keep reading it.
    Pd: i have read dragon ball in lnmtl, is passable and addictive.

    Weak, you need to read from chapter one to get use to it? When I started I always read where I left off if there was LN I particularly like.

    Heck, I got so used to MTL LN reading, I manage to read two volumes and the whole web novel of Youjo Senki with pure MTL and still understood most of it.

    The trick to using MTL is not care about specific words or sentences, but get the idea of what is happening with the limited amount of text you can read.

    i agree with MTL masters above.. you don't need to understand every itty bitty little words, as long as you can grasp the idea in the para, you're good to go


    unfortunately MTL still translate names weird,
    i still have to read the pinyin *sad*

    This reminds me of a quest

    >Beginner to MTL
    You must improve you MTL Dao before continuing....
    -You may experience migraines or headaches

    > Reached 34% MTL understanding
    You can understand context from translations and picture sentences
    -Damage from migraines has decreased

    >MTL proficiency increased to 52%
    You can now picture the chapters and infer scenes
    -Damage from migraines has decreased
    *Oh no, your grammar has gone down slightly, from MTL overload*

    >MTL proficiency increased to 78%
    You have entered into the Dao of understanding and can gain insight
    -No more Migraines or headaches
    -Resistance to grammar corruption

    >MTL proficiency 83%
    Currently highest proficiency, unable expand knowledge
    *Learn the language, is best to increase proficiency*
    -You have reached the end of MTL Dao.

    First time your head will feel dizzy.
    Then you got used to it.
    You having sometime hard time to recognize a character name
    and you can only understand a big picture of what happened, because the details is driving you crazy. so as @Kagutsuchi say just f**king scroll it.

    Depend on you.
    Don't, if using improper English and grammar can affect your life and promotion.
    It's okay to experience it for a few time, but you can never turn back once reaching certain proficiency in MTL dao.
    You have been warned :blobneutral:

    On a good point, you will never bother by grammar again :blobangel:

    It just depends on the fact how interested you are in the novel. I usually read the translated chapters first and if I‘m interested enough in the novel I continue to read it on lnmtl.
