(Anonymous) 2023-01-22 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)I have to place a money order for a novel from China through an untranslated website to access an unofficial fan translation? How did I get here? That's what I would like to know.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-22 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)that's fair. But frankly I think it's just another step. I don't really find it that weird since I am not from English speaking country. Most of my entertainment has couple of extra steps. We don't get official Korean translations, we have fan translators who are extremely good. A lot of western shows are translated and often dubbed by unofficial groups. We have some official translations of course but often enough official translation is way worse. Or employs big unofficial groups. So Chinese novels just another thing people enjoy. Whatever

(Anonymous) 2023-01-22 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)...or you can just access the unofficial fan translation, you know. It's called piracy and I guess this is what most people do. Of course, you can always go back later and buy the work if you enjoyed it, but.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-22 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)What? Sorry I am afraid maybe we aren't talking about the same thing. Not a fan of c-novels in any way, but... fan translators put translations of the novels on their blogs, right? Or those wattpad-like websites. And the translations are uploaded for free, and you can access them for free. What makes you believe that most people who read them actually own the original Chinese book?!?
