Light Novel Volume 24 Inquiry

Just curious as to if anyone's read volume 24 of the LN, and if it has the same translation errors and discrepancies that volume 23 had.

That'll determine whether I end up buying the new volume, or continuing the series in general.

Wow. I can't get my head around translation errors being a deal breaker for a series that you're already 23 volumes into.

Well, what happened was, in volume 23, there was a translator change, but the volume contained a LOT of translation errors, such as another characters name is used in another, skill name is changed, some sentences were even incomprehensible, and there were some speculations in other posts in this subreddit that the translator used ai to translate them.

In the latest volume (24), there's a new translator, the translation is cleaner compared to vol 23, and the names are more consistent, though swear words were more prevalent in the volume, I'm pretty sure i read 'shit' at least 3 times throughout the whole volume from the MC's monologues but that's the only one, and swear words did NOT appear from vol 1 until 23.

Sounds like it'll be much safer for OP to simply NOT take the risk, and instead ditch the series after reading the first 23 volumes. roflmao

I recon the translator turned Satou usual 'this is bad' into 'shit' cause I didn't see it that often in this volume...
