TGCF heads-up

[momijizukamori]

As I know some people were frustrated with the hard subs on the Bili-Bili uploads (which were reused by Funimation) - Netflix has the TGCF donghua up, with English soft-subs (and a couple other languages) that are in an actually-readable font. Haven't yet verified if it's the same translation or not, I'll update later once I have time to watch some of it.

(I logged in to Netflix to watch Way of the House Husband - which was great - and Netflix immediately called me out by showing me a TGCF banner)

Both seems to be on Netflix here as well.

And yes, they probably can't be worse, you're right.

At least the BiliBili subs had the Chinese and worst came to worst I OCR'ed a character or two with Pleco if it got too out of bounds.

I just skipped through some bits of the Netflix subs - they seem more solid than the Bili-Bili ones (less awkward grammar, some better translations in spots that I remember being particularly rough on my first viewing), but they aren't perfect, and I still spotted some slightly dubious translation choices (nothing that's like... outright wrong, but places where they picked a slightly more confusing wording option than the novel translators did). And they also subtitle all of Hua Cheng's 'gege's as 'Xie Lian' because they want to make me suffer inside or something.

I mean in the BiliBili subs je quite frequently was just Lian so....

Yeah, it's not really any worse on that bit, just slightly frustrating, heh.

No, I'm with you. It really is. *sigh*
