Once again come back after reading paper translations from actual publishers that take their jobs seriously. I am not an expert but the experts have a VERY clear stance on what a good translation is and it isnt what a bunch of neckbeards online are saying it is. Also sorry for not having the time to download and clear an entire fucking novel TWO DAYS after its release.
Rating 1 is certainly not deserved, but there really is too much text and very few images. It's been several hours of play, but I've still seen 3(!) non-empty backdrops and 0 scenes. And only now began to appear a love line with the first character. Other characters only briefly. Otherwise, the protagonist goes to school and leaves school every day. Incredibly interesting! At the same time, even for the most recent NPC without a name, they recorded a voice, but did not bother to draw characters who constantly interact with the protagonist. This game is an example of simply fantastic self-censorship, where any non-virgin character does not deserve attention and represents an empty place for the main character (for some reason, in addition to the head of the class, her image is in the game). In general, strange, drawn out, vanilla. If not for the sister, it would be incredibly difficult to play this game. 50% of the success of this game is the sister's voice actor.
Totally agree with his sister voice act selling out the game, if she wasn't there i probably already had dropped this by now. The game have jokes and jokes and so far i didn't saw any sex scenes yet.(lol) And sometimes the npcs appear like a flash of one second.
Imagine playing a visual novel and not reading :0
It's just too monotonous. The game starts with action and then plunges us into an endless cycle of trips to and from school. Jokes will make you laugh for the first hour or two, and then even they start to tire. I'm not even sure if I want to continue, because I understand that there are still 30+ hours of play ahead of me and during this time I will see a couple more backs with group sex and a few vanilla scenes of the protagonist. One younger sister is not enough to make up for this. lol
I came here looking for what people had to say. Personally I find it so odd how often people who hate what they're TLing enter the field. I have friends who work for companies they hate and understand that one can act in good faith but it's also common enough to consider it a dominating school of thought that (and if we argue in good faith and don't pretend translation is a black and white thing) leans closer to liberal translation over more faithful work. I also don't like when a VN is expected not to succeed it can sometimes receive a looser effort than if it were more grand. I'd like as little of the translator to seep into the work as possible. If a line was boring or not funny, don't try to improve it. If you don't like the way a scene plays out, let it play out that way. If a character refers to someone in a way you think is cringe or inappropriate, don't sanitize it. All that said how's the quality here?
It's especially ironic, given that the parts people take issue with have nothing to do with the actual translation of the game, it's just an editor who only knows english going hog wild on his edits without any supervision. This isn't a matter of translation style, it's a matter of SolPress being ran as you'd expect a company that went down in flames to be ran. If anything, the person they paid to translate Nukitashi sticks painfully close to the japanese in his work typically.
