oh i loved everything about mdzs and i was over the moon about finally having a physical copy in my hands.
wwx is the same lovable, oblivious idiot who keeps sticking his foot in it whenever possible. lwj is the same unmovable, tender man who feels too much and hides those feelings to keep himself safe. together, they are so wonderful.
the amount of times i called wwx a clown while i was reading is uncountable. don’t ask me how often it happened, just know that it did lmao
this new translation though… i had to keep checking the OG translation because this new translation had so many differences (i am wary of claiming these as errors since i am not chinese, do not understand mandarin or cantonese, and i do not have the right amount of knowledge nor right to have a say in that particular argument either way). this new translation added many details that were either kept vague in the OG translation or were not mentioned. this new translation also changed many of the terms that older mdzs fans were more familiar with when it come to the text. this new translation also removed many lines that were probably not important plot-wise but were fundamental when it came to the relationship development between wangxian.
i will keep my pre-order of vol 2 intact, but i do hope the translation is cared more about in the future.
simply because of the translation differences, i will be rating this 4 stars instead of 5 😌
