@hiroto said in Ascendance of a Bookworm Vol. 2 Discussion!:
There has been many discussion regarding the word choice and such
The problem is that any time word choice is discussed, especially in the context of "what would be better," while it can be an educational conversation for you, it's also always an attack on the people working on the book. It's like sitting in a restaurant and loudly talking about how much better it would have been to cook the dish you're currently eating in this other manner; maybe you don't intend to criticize the chef, but to everyone else who can hear you, it sure sounds like that's what you're doing. Especially when you ping the translator, which is basically calling him out and asking him to publicly justify his work.
Wanting to learn and debate is fine, but I would suggest you make a new topic to discuss translation and word choice. These volume discussion topics are, again, for discussing the actual story, as well as error reports. If, while reading the translation, you find yourself thinking "wow, that word is really wrong or really different than what I imagined when I read in Japanese," then that's a possible error you could report. Otherwise, it really looks like you're just picking a fight.
