Dafuq with calling Yang Guo (杨过) "Penance". I don't care if that is what his name means whatever but you dont have to translate Chinese names like that. I can't take this translation of Jin Yong's book seriously omg 💀

Like, there's this character in Mysterious Lotus Casebook called "Duo Bing", can you imagine if you call him "Always Sick"?? Chinese names don't have to be direct translations omg

@liztai@hachyderm.io This is the pain I feel when I’m reading manhua.

Also, I still don’t know what they mean by “cultivation”.

@atomicpoet @liztai Ugh “cultivation” is such a weird translation

@rakyat @atomicpoet @liztai Im always so disappointed when I see a synopsis about a master of cultivation and it isn't about farming.

@ubi I’d love to read about an old master cultivating some exotic strains of lichen in her tiny lab hidden in the misty mountains @atomicpoet @liztai

@rakyat @atomicpoet @liztai After many years of study, her disciples ask her, "Ok, but when do we learn all the flying fighting stuff?"
