    storyteller got a reaction from Valmore in Honey Pot   
    蜜壺 is a fairly commonly used innuendo in Japanese, and honestly, it doesn't read so bad in Japanese.
    When I hear "honey pot" I generally think of the computing kind.

    storyteller got a reaction from Darbury in POLL: To San or Not to San (Honorifics in VNs)   
    I had no clue what Korean honorifics meant when I started reading scanlated Korean manhwa. I figured them out quickly enough without footnotes. I'd like to think I can assume the same of other readers.
    Personally, I'd probably go insane if I tried to read something translated from Japanese without honorifics where they are appropriate, but I'm obviously biased here.

    True as it may be, the fact remains most people wouldn't be comfortable with it, and it seems silly to have to pay for something you wouldn't be comfortable using when there are alternatives.
    Besides, I've seen "well-tested code" fail a little too often (especially when it involves networking, which this surely will. Watch out for that DDoS attack around the corner; it could be fatal!) to put my entire trust in such a thing.

    *Slow claps*
    I can see how zurui being used in every which way being problematic when it had become a character quirk.
    It's one thing if you could swap them all out for more appropriate words to fit each situation, but of course you couldn't.
    This may be getting into translation territory, but, I do think "unfair" or "that's not fair!" might have been enough to make do with in most of the situations.
    MC is being nice. "That's not fair (why are you being so nice all of a sudden)".
    MC is being a jerk. "That's not fair (I shouldn't have to deal with your idiocy)".
    MC is eating. "That's not fair (you get to eat when I don't? maybe?)"
    "Not fair, not fair not fair! That's NOT FAIR!"
    ......Just a thought.

    Sure. But "trash tier" is a fairly pompous (and unconstrucive, I might add) way of critiquing.
    One would expect some levels of credential from someone willing to make such statements.

    I wasn't sure how to make it sound like it wasn't just you. I'm aware you aren't the only one who's unhappy.
    Even if this is the case, a strong, reasoned out argument is going to do more good than just headlong bashing.
    It doesn't reflect well on the people/cause you're supporting, even if there are others that have already done the arguing for you.
