    How do other readers out there read the untranslated chapters?

    Do you guys use a translator or something?

    I know a lot of readers out there have learned chinese, but what about those who don't? USe google translate?

    Yes, we use google translate, also known as MTL on certain sites at the cost of brain cells.

    If it's a Japanese novel I would just read it directly

    but if it's a Chinese novel then I would use Google translate or try to look for it's mtl version on LNMTL or Comrademao

    Nope, better not go down that route. Reading is for leisure not self brain torture.

    I do it all the time!!! Not sure if my language suffer from it or not... I even searching for new story to read everyday..

    I used chrome with my phone since it directly translate the text.. Usually I also separately copy paste the chara name so that I can read its pinyin

    Once you MTL a lot of text, your brain will automatically filter unneeded information!!

    That is the case with chinese novel... But I rarely MTL Japanese novel.. For me it is harder to MTL Japanese as opposed to Chinese....
