That was at the start of chapter 82. It seems the "translator" is just uploading the chapters to chatGPT and posting what comes out. A lot of the cons are probably direct results of that.

pros:

    • The camping lifestyle improvement is always going on in the background.
    • The story avoids the helpless game MC trope. Taely is pretty self-sufficient. He steadily clears the game's events even without Ed doing anything.
    • The story expands on the game's characterizations. As a transmigrator, Ed knows a lot about the characters, but we get a lot behind-the-scenes tidbits that Taely never encountered and thus never appeared in the game.
    • Ed knows his strength is his knowledge of the game's timeline, but is not afraid to change it. He eliminates variables to preserve the plotline but does not push people away or flee from any beneficial changes.
cons:

    • The translation reads well, but the translator is really careless with names and pronouns.
        • They often use the wrong gender pronouns. E.g. There was one particularly frustrating chapter where literally every man was a she and every woman a he.
        • The names are more consistent, but also sometimes get mixed up. You have to recognize from context who the author actually wrote about.
    • Perhaps this will change when Ed grows stronger, but the game MC has been settling most of the game's fights offscreen. So there isn't much focus on action at the moment.
    • The transition between chapters can be really choppy and confusing. It's usually fine, but there have been a few where I had to reread after understanding what is happening.
