do translators notes add or detract from the work?
>>269138886notes which are irrelevant to the manga are pure vanity and attention-seeking behavior
>>269139036TN: this anon is so right
>>269138886well you've chosen this bad example of a tl expressing their views, so I don't know if you're poisoning the well or trying to get the obvious point about translators across. A translator should only add a TN when necessary to explain something: exclusively japanese (or w/e culture/language the source is from), a joke that doesn't translate properly, etc. A thing that helps the reader understand what's going on on the page.
>>269138886this one is so awful
