I meant the recent Patreon chapter.
If you’re referring to Ling Yao, he’s a Fullmetal Alchemist character from Xing. There aren’t any untranslated Chinese words in the chapter, but let me know if you meant something else.
I had a very busy week, and the newer chapters are taking more time because I’m trying to improve as a writer. I’m taking my time writing the story, and you will start noticing the difference after around 30 chapters. But I will try to upload 1 chapter per day.
I was translating this before, so I initially thought I would make the usual changes, like in typical Chinese adaptations, and remove face-slapping scenes. I didn’t expect I’d end up writing it myself. After translating over 250 chapters, I noticed the quality had dropped significantly, so I had to take over. In the original, it was a harem story, but I didn’t want to write it in a way that would slow down the story or result in a cardboard, low-pressure female lead. That’s why I chose to go with a single female lead, one who’s still as present and strong as Haruki. I had to make this change to preserve the story’s flow and quality.
yeah i do ai coding, mostly python
I’m not going to spoil anything, but trust the process. What you’re expecting isn’t how it’s going to happen, so don’t worry.
Thank you for the review! I'm still a new writer, and dialogue isn’t my strong suit. If I start with slice-of-life, many people have dropped the story before it even begins. I’m more confident writing action and fight scenes but I’m working to improve. If you get a chance to read the newer chapters, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on whether it’s improving.
I’ll be real with you, I only know YuGiOh! through memes, so most of that flew way over my head 😂. But it sounds like you really put a lot of thought into it, and that’s awesome. So go with whatever feels right to you!
I'm still unsure about the name Daft Punk, but until I come up with something better, I'm going to stick with it for now. And yes, you can include my MC and Stand in your YuGiOh! fic! As for their effects, I'm not too familiar with YuGiOh!, so feel free to come up with whatever abilities you think would fit them best.
what specifically felt AI to you? Was it the tone, structure, or something else?
