How butchered was IMHHW?

[Pabloc]

1/3) Yeah, if you have other stuff to read, it will be a good idea to leave IMHHW for later. Unless you are completely immune to broken English and occasional gibberish...

 

2) Imported version will be more expensive than the localized one, but if you're a collector, you probably don't want to have a butchered localization on your shelf. Well, at least I did go out of my way to get the original version from Amazon.jp.

 

4) Good question, I'm not entirely sure myself. The fact that I really appreciate how much I improved my Japanese while working on the re-translation is probably an important factor here. Nevertheless, the story itself is simply good, probably the best in the realistic slice-of-life genre that I have seen. I especially like that it doesn't end as soon as the protagonist gets the girlfriend, but explores the relationships quite a lot (becoming a couple is only the beginning of heroines' routes). And so far, I liked the H-scenes too, or to be exact - how they fit the characters and the story (ero-wise, lighthearted consensual sex isn't exactly my thing, I prefer darker, more hardcore stuff).

 

5) Personally, I think it would be the best to have 3 patches - for JP version, original MoeNovel's version and Steam version. But, I can only deal with the TL, not technical issues, so I can't promise anything here.
