Frankly, there is no good excuse for it. But in defense of the story, it is clear that she was half-brainwashed while growing up. She was hidden away in that temple all her life and raised to worship the reincarnating guy. The understanding was that when he appeared she would give everything to support him. Assisting him in battle and serving him in bed. When the MC stole her away, it was pretty awful and manipulative but honestly she is just fulfilling her "duty" with a different guy.

Demonic translation, Divine dao library, Fantasy world online. Which is better?

-----------------------------------------

Demonic TL:

Cons: a barely edited MTL at first. They put annoying comments inside the text. I also caught them adding some things that didn't exist in the original novel. Paywall after c256. Translation is slow. Sometimes they don't translate proper names, leaving them as is, which makes it difficult to remember and discern clans and places in text.

Pros: they improve the quality eventually and the amount of unnecessary creativity gets reduced. Still not perfect, sometimes they get whole paragraphs wrong.

-----------------------------------------

Divine dao library (my thoughts about the translation until c174) :

Cons: they're also adding new parts to sentences that were not present in the original text. But unlike DTL, DDL does not just add new text, it replaces the original text, which creates errors and distorts facts. Sometimes these facts are too important to the plot. Like, for example, when the DDL version introduces the demonic heart, it says "The Demonic Heart came from him, the one who took over the body. Meanwhile, the Daoist Bone belonged to the vessel", when the literal translation is "The demonic heart belongs to him. But the Daoist Bone is not", means the heart belongs to the original body, not to the one who took over it. The bone, on the other hand, does not belong to the vessel, it belongs to someone else.

Sometimes the translator's creativity breaks context, for example, when Ye Chen's teacher appears for the first time, DDL translates it "In his ring, a homely figure of a woman appeared...", when the source says "a very faint female figure...", as in she is literally transparent, in the form of a spirit.

It's simply irresponsible to replace parts of the text the translator struggles to translate with something "close enough", without figuring out the real meaning and DDL does it too often.

Although, the worst part is that the DDL translation sometime, either because the source they work with is buggy or DDL is censoring problematic content, omits whole paragraphs of text.

Another thing is that DDL, in their effort to write in a fancy way, tends to flavor every single conversation. Whether it's one of the main characters or a random passerby commenting on something, they all end up sounding the same, a little reserved and oddly polite. It's like listening to an audiobook where the narrator reads every line the same way.

Lastly, DDL is too creative when they translate proper names. They ignore already established traditions in translation community in a favor of going over the top in naming clans and techniques. Who in their right mind would translate "Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace" as a "Skyward Schloss"? The way they translate luck colors is also ridiculous.

Pros: they string sentences into paragraphs. They don't put immersion breaking comments in text. The translated text reads like a real piece of literature. Fast translation. Quality of translated text gets better around c170 (as in, it gets more correct, not necessary less creative or less censored).

Update (c500) : The guys are getting better. The translation more or less follows the original text. Different people sound and feel different. The translation is not overly flavored. Even the colors have been changed to normal ones. The biggest drawbacks now are the repeated grammatical errors and wrong pronouns. For a free translation it's a very decent level.

-----------------------------------------

Fantasy world online:

Cons: translation quality takes a nosedive around c174 (c200 as FWO counts it), it's no different from MTL since then (don't know for how long). Same as DDL, they censor words, which is ridiculous for a translated text. They also put the immersion-breaking comments inside the text.

Pros: a good ratio of "respects_the_source" to "well_edited" for the first 150 or so chapters. The way they translate personal names is perfect. Fast translation.

-----------------------------------------

My personal choice is to read FWO until it degrades to MTL, then switch to DTL/DDL (or go back to FWO if it improves later) .

This rant seems to go nowhere but it explains how the story will go

Fun fact did you know author has a thing for women wanting to curb stomp, kill and hate MC,

Welllllllll it's boring.. Boring and boring as the author decides to mega buff the MC into oblivion with all his trump cards or backhands that you mostly won't see. To put it simply his abilities aren't explored enough. Had potential, well kinda, it has a nice idea but a bad execution. Like sugar during a race all that energy just to crash and burn. Too much plot amour, side characters such with the normal MC only liking tsuades (can't spell) and bla bla bla. Can't picture the world well, maybe that's the experience, the rating of this is kinda overated. It's OK I mean you probably won't regret reading this, would say that MC isn't cold enough to fMC or maybe just gets trapped by them too much. MC just gets pushed around too much, if only he had more control. Maybe if the author had smarter side characters. Maybe better side characters and FMC. MC just happens to be God and can read everyone's mind. It's no longer taking a guess it's him rewriting the story to be about with he thinks. Ps it gets worse if u wanted to know, also read the other reviews about the good things too lazy to write them.

no romance but the author tried.

Author also tried to write a decent MC but failed

Side characters included

anyways o does this get worse I mean it's like MC has a soft spot for females and is readable by females I means he's getting played like a checkers player who's paid the creator to cheat and reshape the game into his own but still losing to the chess player.

Su Qingge and Lin Qiuhan being the examples. The former still has some relevance in the story later on in the Red Devil arc but the latter literally just becomes a background character that gets mentioned once a while.

Yue Mingkong, MC's fiancée, who was killed by him in her past life and somehow regressed back in time. Despite hating MC to the bone and swearing that she would kill him in order to prevent the disastrous future, she still held feelings for him. Noticing MC was distinctly different than the one who killed her, she softened up to him again and decided to help him achieve his goals. Even if Gu Changge kills her again in the future, which is unlikely, Yue Mingkong will let him, or if she decides to kill MC, which is also unlikely, she will do so and commit su*cide in order to be with him.

Gu Xian'er, MC's younger cousin/sister in the family, who got her Dao Bone dug out of her body when she was young by the MC and came back for revenge on him because what he did was unforgivable. Similar to Yue Mingkong, she hated MC at first, until she wasn't, because she found out what MC did back then (bone-digging) had underlying reasons, which were all fabricated by MC, and she completely forgave MC. She gets very fond of MC in the later chapters and even falls for him. The interactions she has with MC are quite fun. She acts like a little sister who argues with her older brother all the time, but loves him very much. The MC is also quite fond of her, but he doesn't show it because he has to keep his act up. Easily the most likeable and popular member of the harem.

was made by him and everything in the store was also not just coming out of nowhere but his, like every technique, transcendal bones, and many more are his in his past life.
