I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post this, but this series is categorized on the website as a J-Novel Club novel despite being a Heart novel. The same is true for Prison Life is Easy for a Villainess and Forget Being the Villainess.

Momo Momo

@terabyte thanks, fixed!

I'm not 100% sure on capitalizing that word -- might be technically incorrect, but it makes it look a bit more plaintive if it's lowercase... 🤔

@terabyte said in Housekeeping Mage - Corrections Topic:

Volume 1 - Part 6:

[72%] she wrapped a shawl the dark teal of ducks’ feathers ► It should be of dark teal ducks’.

It could be a color comparison, rather than a mention of materials, but that phrase had me wondering which interpretation I should apply to it. :)

@terabyte @Ingraman Hello!

I'm the translator on this title, so I wanted to clarify. The shawl is the color of duck feathers, not made of duck feathers.

I was wondering, is there phrasing that would make that read more clearly to you? Not guaranteeing I'd use it. More wondering what the stumbling block is. ^^

Also, Terabyte, thanks for always reading so closely and finding all the things you find. It really helps. ^^

Terabyte

@sarujin Oh, so it was the color as @Ingraman said. Yeah, that sentence is a bit hard to understand like that. I think changing it to include specifically the word color would probably work better.

Terabyte

Volume 1 - Part 7:

[72%] Somehow, these two are just really beautiful. ► The t character alone isn't in italic format.
[98%] the person who nursed his Highness, isn’t she? ► Should His be Capitalized as well?
