The translation is fine in the (clean) versions; the (self-edited) are a 8 or 9 out of 10.TL;DR: Content is acceptable but the execution of the writing style is a nightmare. POVs are randomly switched; and world building via 'outside' conversations come seemingly out of nowhere and are just thrown in you face.The translator has state they modified the story to take out redundant wording, and from what I had read there was a good flow so there seems to be no issues with that, you could even say it is needed when something is translated into English.Overall the characters and the plot are above average, or at least they appear to be. Things get stated and then explained. It felt like all the points were presented then spoon fed to you, I could even see how that would appeal to some people. The main hang up for myself is: The transitions just out right suck. Different chapters can turn into a nightmare; you read the first few lines and are just left sitting there like 'did I miss a chapter?'. There is no segway, no introduction - just a brand new conversation in a different place with basically zero context.I personally found this hard to read and I usually follow stories with no issues, even when comments are littered with comments emphasising how hard it was to do so.
