Randomly checked the original Japanese text of a light novel next to the translation and I couldn't believe what I saw. The translator did not only change the form to something that is more hand-holdy ("I need to explain to the reader.."), they also added interiority that wasn't in the original. Literally inventing thoughts and sensations kek Not only is Western literature doomed and occupied by Jews and Wahmen, the moment they translate something from Japan they ruin it too.

@irie@detroitriotcity.com This is why I never read translated novels. I live in fear of the localizer. I was going to read Don't Quixote once but in the preface the translator just straight up admired to localizing it to make the text more modern.
