Talk:Day 191-200/Day 197/@comment-30714510-20161212192059

Following suit with @ShioryAli1:

" " Avenger still hasn't met his companions, or rather, his [Sub-Cast] characters from his [Psalm] yet. As such, I pray that he will encounter the [Witch of Youkai Flames], the [Cavalry Defender], the [Usurper] and the [Holy Woman of Compassion]."

 I have a vague memory but i'm not sure... when did aporou know the names of avenger sub clase?.... I thnx you answers"

Man. To be fair, at this point I don't know if this is the author being his sloppy self, or a mistranslation.

Let's see, Shiory is COMPLETELY RIGHT. NOFRICKINGWHERE has it been mentioned the names of Avenger's sub-cast, so Rou shouldn't know them.

@Oni GiriZ, however, mentioned that in Day 116 they appear. Only, they are displayed as ABILITIES, not people...

................

Okay, so, first of all. After going back to that day, and checking, they really are (although with different names than now; THIS specific bit I assume is because the translating group does not have a unified glossary, which has been giving problems every now and then, so no biggie). One problem: there is a FIFTH item listed. Is that a fifth Sub-Cast? Or is it an ability?

If it's an ability, why is it listed together with people? If it's a person, why are they not mentioned now?

If they are people, and the author called that "ability", why is he so fricking sloppy? And how come Rou now FRICKING MAGICALLY knows that they're people, even though it said "abilities"? (Moreover, after defeating the Hero of Water, and getting another sword, there were also a bunch of items listed under ABILITIES. Are those people as well? Because Rou said "this one has ABILITIES like the other weapon", so at that point he didn't know they were people).

If they are people, and the author did not call them people, it's a mistranslation. But on day 197 we know that they are people, and at least someone has kept track. So why hasn't it been changed in day 116?

Sigh... As I mentioned at a past chapter, I liked the manga, and couldn't help myself and came to the LN. Cause I liked the theme, the idea behind it all. But I have to say that I've only read 2-3 LNs, and they authors always seem to be more or less sloppy. This one is leaning towards "more". It's so freaking tiring reading chapter after chapter of not understanding things. Some, because of mistranslations; but hey, they're doing this as fans, take it easy, they do an amazing amount of work and the end is considerably good, even if not perfect, so just suck it up. But some, because the author is sloppy; and THAT I can't forgive. If you're not good, you're not good, nothing you can do about it. But if you're sloppy, FIX IT. Stop putting people in places without mentioning how they got there, stop giving characters IMPORTAND knowledge without mentioning how they came to have it.

Ffs...
