And now imagine if he did the same guys do with free trials: once the trial is over and he fails he just puts on a fake mustache, pretends to be somebody else and gets another love trial…
LOL, good debut...Well, if she ended up being my girlfriend, I could take a little poking at the ribs. He should poke fun at her insults, and not really retaliate directly at her. Like during lovemaking, "Ooh yeah...Your pussy is much better than my hand. I love when you jerk me off with it."
What a clever girl, there really is no such thing as 'love at first sight' which is rather 'lust at first sight' in correspondence with one's genetic behaviour. Logically nobody can actually 'love' someone without so much as getting to know them.
Glad more series are dealing with deeper philosophy & science.
Lust however plays the key role in starting a relationship as it means our brain is poking us to man up, what matters is how one makes their approach afterward, to be the lovey dovey vanilla we all love or pumpN'dump.
Both lust and love are equally important for they are all part of human nature.
DAYUM! ..... seems this Sexy Onee-san Senpai has a figurative ton of IN-teresting literature with regard to domination and control over males (she sure has some IN-teresting friends, doesn't she?).
Seems that MC is, if I read the text right, the only male who has gone past confessing his feelings and even had the balls (figuratively and literally) to attempt to endure her trial period ... good for him. Although at the end, it seems he still has a way to go before he can stand with his new girlfriend on equal terms. Do Not Give Up, MC ... It Is Your Destiny!
In The End, this artist's FAKKU debut is "APPROVED!"
Yeah, I'd rather keep memes out of the translations lol
Makes it read more like old scanlation group bonus pages from the 2000s.
@Sayo
Obviously the literal TL will be in broken English. I can't help but think something like "C-Crap, don't tell me she thinks I only listen to my dick!?" would have worked better.
As Galder said, the term is negative, it got its start in various sites trying to shame people. Yeah, the end result's the same, but IDK. You'd expect to see buzzwords like it in livestream comments instead of natural monologue/dialogue in person, it's jarring.
@MaskedCrook
I'd have to disagree, meme words aren't slang that are used in normal day to day conversations, they pretty much stay in the online space exclusively. It's like if someone started talking in emotes/emojis, it's quite awkward, especially when in this context it's the guy's thoughts.
The proposed alternatives are better, if someone's inner monologue is like this then I think they need help lol
Yeah, I'd typically agree with you here. Maybe something like "she thinks I'm some sort of masturbating monkey" or a "slave to my cock" would more firmly stick as an insult that isn't that fad based.
However, if the phrase used in the original work is some sort of slang as well, it does make sense that the translation is essentially language found on chat/stream sites. It might not age well, but the original likely wouldn't either. Translation can be a pain to do accurately when language shifts and changes. There is no one right answer in this case.
The literal alternative was "cock bastard". So you can balance those two and decide what makes more sense in context.
@galder
The negative connotation was very much intentional. She's insulting him by implying that all he does is fap. Look up the definition of coomer and tell me that isn't a good fit for what's being alleged.
that and also the negative connotation this term has afaik
i mean, if they're going as far as sugarcoating straight-up rape in some chapters with the "forced" tag, then i wouldn't expect this term to pop up either. a direct comparison between the two is a bit of a stretch, but i think (hope) you know what i mean.
