39% - Instead, we planned to stop in a midsized city on the edge of the road. -> Possible, but sounds a bit odd to me. A whole city immediately to one side of the road? Maybe regional phrasing? I’d probably say: […] stop in a midsized city along the road. 42% - The city was located in a valley on the border of a river. -> Perhaps okay, but… Not “on the edge of a river” or “along a river”? If the city has a port, I’d assume one of those two before a river’s border. I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard of a river having a border; being a border, sure. :)

@heimdal7 said in The Villainess is Dead! Long Live the Empress! - Corrections:

I dunno if this is a correction or if it is just the way the author wrote it being weird. at 48% part 9 the emperor ask Leon what he thinks of Elizabeth and Leon responds she was born to be empress. The emperor then says you'd go that far?

It seems like there is lines missing as why would Leon be going that far for Eliz when he supports Wis? It basically comes off as all three of them are in agreement that Eliz is the choice.

I doubt there is anything missing.

The empress switched the conversation to Westalia and the emperor commented on how she could be a trump card against the Reyns. There is a paragraph of narrative describing why a trump card would be needed and the conversation resumes talking about "she" (Westalia, the person they were talking about a moment earlier) where Leo is asked for his opinion. Leo confirms that she (Westalia) was born to be empress.

The translator may want to consider replacing one or more of the "she" pronouns with Westalia's name to make the conversation clearer.

sometimes in the middle of a conversation, sometimes while just chewing the scenery.

"Chewing the scenery" means overacting. It's entertaining to imagine Misha absentmindedly hamming it up in her idle moments. But I think taking in the scenery would be closer to the intended meaning in this sentence.

I rather like it as it is. Since I never heard of it, I looked it up and learned a new phrase to use (eventually). As I've said before, reading JNC novels is a learning experience and increases one's knowledge...

@Khazidhea Hello! Series editor here. You're correct in that it sounds like Liluetta's actively doing something--I think it's a matter of "scuffed" having multiple definitions. Scuffed can refer to the state of being scratched or roughed up, and it sounds like this is the definition you have in mind (for example, "Her shoes were all scuffed up"). But it can also be the act of scraping your feet or shoes along a surface, which is how it's used in this week's part. Hope this makes sense!

Oh, and since this is my first forum post ever (!), thank you to everyone in this thread for your corrections so far! The last one or two might not have made it into the prepub, but they should all be in the final ebook for volume 1.

Wrong word potentially? I couldn't find a definition of 'felling' that would work here and I couldn't see 'felling city' or 'felling town' as a phrase, so maybe wrong word? Though I'm not sure what it would be otherwise, so probably just me not knowing where to look, sorry if it is, just adding this in case it is an accident wrong word.

Three sentences in a row begin with "But". I'm not sure if I'm parsing the intent of that paragraph correctly, but I think at least the second "But" can be safely removed.
