How would you rank these in terms of what is most frustrating? A) A bad, straight mtl translation. B) A good translation that gets dropped ten chapters from the end C) A story with three separate translators each with different names for everything and different levels of quality.

A: hell no!
B: Okay, but still annoying. better look for completed translations.
C: i can still deal with it. as long as it’s still readable.
B, A, C but if it’s a story without/little plot then A, C and B
1) B (if there is no other translation to enable completing the novel; this is heartbreaking if I am loving the story).
2) A & C are equally bad to me, as I would give up reading any novel where I cannot understand it for the majority of the time.
I go for B, it’s frustrating not know how it ends, thank you for your hard job in translatin and editing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was slightly hesitating but I would choose ABC because if the translation gets dropped before the ending, at least there would be someone who would pick up just to finish it just because the story is amazing but if the translation is ab ovo bad, noone would follow the story and the chances are slimmer to get a better quality version.
b) is on top because i am assuming that no one ever picked up again and there is a limbo to live in bc there is no other ways you get to read it to the end even tho you buy the og version bc u dont know how to read in the og language! and i got that karakuri circus flashback bc i had to find that one in french to see how it ended and it was sooo hard to find it! a) is annoying but i can live with it, and i love c) i just like the multi pov of the translation, sure i will get confused but is cute
each is a no-go for me so i can’t rank it. 🤪
