It totally depends on what novel I am trying to MTL. Chinese is pretty easy and understandable except the names are messed up. JP novels are too hard to understand via MTL so I don't even bother lol. KR novels, I've only tried reading one novel I purchased via google play books (as KR raws for it were impossible to access otherwise because its meant for 19+ readers) and it was very much readable, even better than chinese ones imo.

The more I read MTL, the more my brain gets wired to understand it I guess (I'm a very impatient person and I want to immediately know what happens to the novel lol).  And well, english is not my first language anyway so I'm used to poor grammar and sometimes broken english.

The moment you try to make a decent report in english. After reading tons of mtls hahaha. Is the moment you realize you lost your english.

But who cares whats important is the meaning in the text not the accuracy hahaha

I read raw from LNMTL, it's not realy hard if the novel already get manual translate for some phrase, like name or skill
But if you use GT for read raw, its hurt cause sometime GT translate character name

Considering there are some typos in Your sentence, I'm not sure if You're fluent in English or not.
Also, I'm not saying about what is right  or wrong. What I mean is, there are certain difficulties to understand MTL for both native and non-native English speakers. And from what I've seen, non-native English speaker have it easier.

Try reading a chapter that is translated normally and then the chapter the is MTL then you will get a bit of a feel on things look like when they are MTL and will help you interpret the real meaning. Or just keep reading MTL and after a few chapters it will start making some sense
