    He is very petty in this one, as if he returned to the days of pro wrestling

    Depends on the mood. Might suddenly want to translate some, and voila, 100+ new chapters. And then again indefinite hiatus

    Being a slave to realism might prove detrimental to the novel. It will feel like deus ex instead. Yes, random things happen a lot more frequently, and such is the life, but you can never set up for randomness, and setting up is one of the most important things an authour can do in his book

    (P.S. Author inquiry- I was wondering how would you feel if I killed a major character like this. From a common cold, fever, or other illness. Because such things did happen in real life. Many, many important figures just got ill and died. Imagine Menes taking a bath in the icy cold water with a few of his bodyguards as a fun pass time, catching a fever, and then suddenly dying. How would you feel? Shocking or underwhelming? Comment.)

    Pointing out that modern people would understand the princess’ hidden killing intent, but for some reason glossing over the fact that Alexander was also a modern person is just yet another detrimental factor

    "Great!" And it was as such that Alexander remained completely oblivious to the hidden danger he was injecting himself with, and instead actually cheered the girl's acquiescence to his offer.

    Oh, that’s where the inspiration behind Genshin Impact comes from

    And such examples were a dime a dozen even in Alexander's previous life, with perhaps the most famous one being Genshin Khan, who was even reported to have said, 'A man's greatest pleasure was to take others wives and daughters.

    Bro, you are overusing this “for” clause. Tone it down a bit, otherwise it will end up causing reader’s fatigue

    For she was horrified seeing just how easily her older brother whom she had once idolized so much, and the mother whom she saw as a role model both simply roll over their back and bow their head to this tyrant without an ouch of shame, the same tyrant who had destroyed her family's legacy and put her father into eternal sleep.

    I hope this is not the “asking for a friend” kind of joke. But in all seriousness, the author intentionally writes ”ommited” to not go into graphic details, and it won’t be the only time

    Just like "soft murmurs", "pretending to stroll", "gentle breaths", "coquettish shyness during the rain". (Three thousand words skipped.)

    Well, who asked us to willingly go under the yolk of Chinese novel conveyor. RoyalRoad just can’t keep up

    So, he quickly left a comment under the post, "Also at the landmark theater in Los Angeles. Young Master Renly is like a moving feast, the vibrant colors only truly shine when he's actually moving. Just like when I watched his performance of "Ophelia" on the street, and now tonight, seeing him discuss acting at the cinema."

    The original text says the good ol “young master”, so I already took a lot of liberties by changing it to “young heir”... most of the time. I guess the author infused a lot of Internet and fandom elements from China into that of the Western, so it can indeed be jarring in some cases. At least they are not saying “I bought a watch” or “wocao”

    Well, get ready for a dry spell hehe In the meantime, you can try reading my other translation by the same author (his first Hollywood themed work). As a whole, I liked that novel slightly more than this work

    Alexander was reluctant to forego the opportunity to pad the word count some more

    And when thinking about it as such, Alexander felt even a bit reluctant to leave.

    Although there are moments where the 4th wall gets brokens with Alexander’s inner monologues, but that shouldn’t be the case with the 3rd person narration as only the former is justified with this type if serious novel. This tonal shift easily breaks the immersion, which is already in tatters to be completely honest. Yet another detriment

    Dom would be proud.

    Author doing usual eastern style antagonism to spice things up, to which I agree it being unnecessary and out of place

    What’s up with this paragraph?

    Now, here readers would do well to take a very good at the phrasing of this sentence, as the message being delivered here was, although true to its essence not exactly what Perseus had asked.

    Nobody needs this kind of answers for the artificially prompted questions that only serve as unnecessary filler. Let’s just get on with the story or be more efficient and effective with the use of words

    They were usually given to only noblemen, so to answer the question of how this poor man had gotten the privilege to use it- well it was simple really, he looted it off a dead nobleman when he was cleaning the battlefield.

    Yeah, my bad. Maybe I was under sleep deprivation during the translation lol

    Seeing the cold disdain in Paul's eyes, Vin's rage froze instantly, just like encountering a Siberian gust of wind head-on, crystallizing into ice. He stood there, frozen, like a trembling cub hiding in a cave, fearful and uneasy. He couldn't muster any response, only watched as Paul turned and left. Paul's straight, imposing figure was like a blade piercing through the sky, sharp and piercing.
