Hey Milan!
This idea sounds surprisingly close to something I came up with awhile ago which is fun how that happens with imaginations.
Anyways it sounds like you have some interesting concepts around the world but not really anything around your actual characters and what story you want to tell within this world. I'm happy to help out if you like and write with you if you want, you can send me a message if you like

Manga Writers wanted / Free(lance) Writer Available
« on: July 11, 2018, 09:42:11 AM »
Hey everyone!
I'm around to do some writing collaboration and be a writer for manga. I generally don't write for monetary gain, typically just to share so I don't have any payment requirements or anything like that. If you want to throw money at me that's your choice, but I'm not asking.
You can check all my writing on Wattpad, as I am nick. Just nick. That's the whole username. Pretty knowledgeable and flexible in all genres too so I don't mind creating anything. Send me a message if you want to talk ideas and such.

Manga Talk / Re: Opinion on manga translations
« on: December 31, 2017, 06:56:44 PM »Honestly, my biggest gripes come from names. Most recently with Black Clover. In the fan translation I read, the translation given is "The Magic Emperor", but the official translation is "The Wizard King." This is obviously mostly a personal annoyance though. I got used to one, and then another shows up. I'd be fine if they were consistent, but the translation isn't necessarily wrong either way, it's just how the official translation team decided to translate something, vs the fans.
I feel this ^
Did you fill out the survey too on your feelings, sounds like you've been down this road of unofficial translations so many times haha

For Forlorn Serpent, you can see what's published in Japan anytime by seeing what's actively being published in any particular weekly/monthly comic, or you can see what they list on websites or on places that sell Japanese tonkoubons. But it depends on how much you want to know about manga. There's a ton of manga that never gets translated, much of which comes and is cancelled before it ever sees English eyes. And there's a particular fanbase who want to read that manga.
And then there's others who want the official translations or, as you said, the official ones. Scanlations half the time have to be read as "spirit of the manga" and not letter of the manga, particularly because different translators do different things (though to be clear, even official translations are just whatever the particular freelancer hired interpreted it as).
To anyone who read One Piece through translations, you've got Luffy...Ruffy...Lufi...Luppy, it changes all the time early on...

A lot of my research indicates a ton of fan translations are in response to bad official translations, especially ones that strip out Japanese things (spaghetti instead of ramen) or lose the original puns or cultural references.
What do you mean by wanting more?

Manga Talk / Opinion on manga translations
« on: December 24, 2017, 02:11:01 PM »
Hey all!
I'm trying to gather some opinions around manga and how much it gets translated. I have issues around the general lack of officially translated manga and how much (or how little) Japan pays attention to the poor non-Japanese market and our struggles. Or at least mine. Maybe other people disagree so I want to see how everyone feels.
And so I made this fun quick survey. It would be awesome if you could help me with opinions to see if I can maybe do something about it. Need to figure out how I tackle Japan but that's stage two. I know of the no link rule, it's just a poll about manga, doesn't go to any manga sites or anything. Easier than making a poll in here. (Lemme know if you want it gone mods)

Otherwise down to hear opinions here too.

General Manga writer discussions / Re: Why is DBZ so good?
« on: November 29, 2017, 12:00:20 PM »
More or less this above ^^
Dragonball is actually really good, and a charming story of adventure, exploration, and growth, with excellent ramp up into an escalating battle and satisfying losses and endings. The side characters have relevant time on screen and the intention is to learn and change.
DBZ is simply a non-plot driven series of one-off fights of escalating power. They always break down to:
Threat arrives
Threat beats up some minor characters to indicate strength
Threat requires training to surpass threat
Goku (or other character) trains to the point of surpassing
Beats threat
And then it just goes on again. I did enjoy reading Dragonball, but when I read DBZ I got bored very quickly. It has enormous issues with power escalation, and there's almost no threat of anything. Characters can almost never die, someone will always power up enough to match. There's not really any creativity in the combat. Nobody has to figure out a way around it, they just need to make a larger Spirit Bomb than the last time, to infinity. I actually dislike DBZ even more because Dragonball has so many strengths and does such a good job before it. It's so weird that it goes from this sort of One Piece style adventure story into basically just a tournament arc?
Them Budokai games were pretty fun though.

This is the premise or like set-up, but not really the actual narrative, as far as I can read. What is the story actually about, who are we following, what are they like, and what's the plot arc? This sounds like the opening to The Devil is a Part Timer sort of, but the part you have here only covers basically the first two minutes of that show, and is missing the other 99% of what it's really about (a derpy devil trying to be a part-timer in a lazy human world and sort of settling into a routine instead of escaping).
So what is the goal of the characters? They are sucked into this world and then what? They are struggling to get back? They want to conquer it? They begin to spread religion there? Why would they fight each other now that they're in a new world and no longer pressured?
Second note, and this is a general isekai rule:
You're moving characters from one fantasy realm to another, and neither of them are the actual human realm. Typically, the purpose in moving them to a different realm is to change the rules on them and to give them a new or unique experience, either by putting a regular dude in a fantasy land and giving powers or putting a fantasy character in a regular world and removing powers. This appears to just be moving existing fantasy peeps to another fantasy place with slightly different rules, so I'm not sure how that will affect their growth/change. Usually you move them to a world that either gives or takes so that they have to adapt. This is more like "hey you had a power over here, you're used to having power, don't worry that isn't gone, now it's called something different here and is a bit different power but there's still power." At a conceptual level, nothing is really lost. It's possible the narrative that's missing I pointed out above solves this problem though so this could all be nothing.

So first, yeah, any case where a guy appears to be really pushing, you should make the police aware. They're often very *censored*ty about domestic stuff with guys who aren't even a boyfriend (they're then almost as bad when they are so...), but I will cross fingers you speak with police who really care deeply.
Otherwise, this does sound like a guy who is into you and is generally being a typical dick guy about it (sorry about us).
My number one bit of advice is to reject them as clearly and concisely as possible. Like "I'm sorry but I am not interested in you" is really clear and shuts them down. Anything less than that guys will warp in their own minds into a sort of "she'll like me someday" situation, which in turn causes the constant messages. My best advice is to just say sorry not into you, and block them out and never respond to anything again. You owe them nothing anymore and made things clear.
Guys do this a lot and then kind of fade as their interest shifts, and then they'll message you once in awhile to see if there's a chance yet. There's a lot of terrible things guys do.
