"Look, I've regained my magic, yet you've only found your dragon bones. You haven't gotten your magic back"

Magic magic magic. Its NOT magic. Why would MAGIC show up in a xianxia novel. What like, are they Harry Potter or something? Unless ur gonna tell me thats not xianxia thats xuanhuan. STOP westernizing!!

Yeah if historians are saying u did an accurate portrayal of a historical figure, thats a lot of honor especially for an actor

NO!!! I said *demon dragon isnt the only problem I have with the translation* im very specifically talking about that translator.

Like i said its not the only problem i have

I know but thats not the only problem i have

Ikr!! In every trailer and promo they kept referring to him as ling long. And why i said yao makes no sense is HOW yao become one. When something is referred to as yao or jing, it usually means they used to be normal animals until they gain a spiritual intelligence. Problem is dragons are ALREADY spiritually intelligent.

And we've seen so so many half asses translations. Like in Love and Redemption especially. Like when they mentioned PanGu, translation said "diety" even tho og said "primordial god" or how they kept translating JunTian CeHai as divine weapon. WHAT divine weapon?? Which one??? Theres more than one divine weapon in there. Even when JunTian CeHai is mentioned separately, translations dont use "hoop" or "hook" like the og used. Im angry bc i dont want international fans to be lied to. You guys deserves the full experience.

Also this reddit post a PERFECT example of lazy ass translators

Dragon isnt the only problem i have with her. Al ot of Translators half assed their things and still ask for patron. I doesn't help that MTL does better job at translating and made it more detailed. Like ive seen one where the fan translation is "the driver" while MTL translator "the driver of the wedding car" doesnt that make sooo much more difference.

Regardless i still hate that translator. I using MTL instead

Frrrrr and call herself a fan 🙄

Well if thats the case fine

The og called his a spiritual Dragon

From what ive seen of minghao and the bts I would bever doubt his vical performance anyways. And the thing is people like to complain. If actors use their og voice if people dont like THE VOICE itself bot the performance, they'll still complain cuz its not good sounding enough.

GIRL U ARE A GENIUS. I should be using that argument from now on against ppl who talk down actors just cuz of dubbing like its their fault

U typed xianxia trope right next to dragon, ghost knows you were talking about that novel. But i still dont agree with the wording. Theres a different word all together for demon which is MO or Yao. But calling it a yao makes zero sense

No no no!!! Dragons are different in Chinese mythology and Culture!! They're always respected gods!! Thats in Western culture!!! WE WORSHIP THEM. It makes ZERO SENSE that that translator wrote them off like they're discriminated against or disliked. Dont forgot Xianxia is Chinese. ESPECIALLY in Xianxia that they're are revered. I mean there are tropes where theres greedy characters who wanna kill them for their benefits which is EXACTLY what happened it. Alsonits xianxia so it looks have to be water. Plus not every dragon are water. Theres the ZhuLong and ChaoFeng are fire
Idk which xianxia drama give u the idea that dragons are discriminated against but thats not a trope.
Against if that translator couldn't do their job properly, they should leave it to someone else

U dont get it. Dragons are BENEVOLENT AND REVERED creatures in Chinese culture. It makes PERFECT sense that spirit should be used instead of demon. This is why i dont like these translators. They think whatever is true in WESTERN culture goes in CHINESE or Eastern culture. This translator changed TianYao from a godly being to a demonic one. I cant empathize this enough. This is CHINESE culture not western. Its CHINESE CHINESE CHINESE. Important things should be said three times.

Its like they suddenly change the word Jesus in the og text and decided to translate it as Satan. Do you NOW see what Im saying and why im so pissed?? Like theres a HUGE difference between Jesus and Satan. Readers will think hes Satan when in the og text hes clearlt Jesus

Idk, you ask me who do i ask. They just do. All evidence points towards that. I know 100% TSL werent meant for that Feb 14

Yep

Zhou Shen is. LYN is like second place

Cant believe they aired Starry Love. STUPID STUPID STUPID
