[GDCG/GSGW] How to Read Most Recent Episodes

Below is a short and comprehensive guide on how to read the most recent chapters with machine translation.

There are four parts:

1. Where can I find the original chapters?

2. How do I get a KakaoPage account/buy chapters?

3. How do I translate the chapters?

4. What are some things to watch out for when you MTL?

1. Where can I find the original chapters?

You can find the original chapters at KakaoPage, a Korean webnovel platform.

GDCG/GSGW chapters at KakaoPage

By buying from this platform, you can directly support and reward the author's efforts in writing this novel!

2. How do I get a KakaoPage account/buy chapters?

The below guide explains everything from making a kkp account to buying episodes.

Top Up Credits on KakaoPage and Buy Chapters

Follow the guide exactly! For example, don't use a google account to log in to kkp, because then you won't be able to access the pages on web.

For GDCG, each episode ticket costs 100 coin (10 cents). You can also get free coins from events - I haven't needed to top up for months due to stocking up on tickets thanks to event coins during hiatus.

New accounts also get 15 free rental tickets!

+ Added a new guide : 'How to Get Free Coins on KakaoPage'

3. How do I translate the chapters?

The above guide recommends opennovel because it was written by opennovel. It's an AI translation service that you have to pay to use.

Most people I know use chrome web browser to access the episodes, and use chrome's default translation function.

I also recommend using a browser called 'immersive translate' if you know a bit of Korean, since it allows you to look at the og text and the translated text at the same time, which can be helpful for catching mistranslations. You can choose which translation engine to use - the default is Microsoft, which is pretty terrible, so I recommend changing it to Google.

Immersive Translate (playstore link / chrome extension link)

Whichever way you choose, be careful to set your KakaoPage viewer to scroll mode instead of page mode, as page mode can cause texts to be omitted.

4. What are some things to watch out for when you MTL?

The below sheet contains a list of character names and what MTL can translate them as. (Look at the character tab)

It is currently incomplete but contains the major ones.

GDCG MTL Guide (contains character names)

+ eta: I've added a 'common mistranslation' tab as well!

Another thing to watch out for is pronouns. Because Korean often omits pronouns, MTL has to make up a pronoun when translating to English. This can result in mistranslation. When in doubt, look at the context.

I also try to do a write-up of mistranslations and details every episode on the 'gdcg review' tag of my tumblr.

Episode Review tag (includes tl help)

The mistranslation corrections are based on what people ask me on discord, so if you have any specific translation questions, don't hesitate to send me a tumblr ask!

-> since ep 300 or so, I started just doing full-on mistranslation corrections, haha. You can still send me tumblr asks!

If you have expectations for LOTM games, keep it low.

Not to say that you shouldn't have anticipation, but from what I see so far at least the game background wouldn't closely follow the background lore of LOTM world.

Like this example,

This is the earliest draft.

This is not bad design, if this game is original game.

But this is LOTM game, so most of the people who will play this first is actually the novel fan.

They expect it to follow the background of the novel. I EXPECT IT to follow the background of the novel.

But when I see this design, I was so disappointed real quick.

I don't even think demoness of fourth epoch, in the height of Solomon, Tudor and Trunsoest ruling would dare to wear this kind of thing in public. Never mind other people of different pathways.

I don't even think that Intis people in fifth epoch whom are synonymous with daring and openness can accept this kind of outfit.

Idk if they scrapped this design but months after this leak they introduced Mia Abraham, who I think is probably our guide for the game.

Compared to the early design, her outfits proved that they are getting closer to era accurate, but I also can see why some other people still dissatisfied with her outfit.

Idk about other, but for me if she doesn't have the necessary background, her outfit just become incongruous.

"It's just thigh, it's not like she doesn't wear stockings to cover it."

And I agree with it, if not for the fact that LOTM despite being fantasy world still follow the basic clothing rules of victorian era.

"But look at Xio and Bernadette, they wear pants and Bernadette wears jeans but nobody calling them for it."

But Xio sometimes dressed as a man, and she wear full length pants like other man. Bernadette has Huang Tao as her father, and she has almost the same view as her father in most thing. So of course she get influenced by his father, a former modern man. And despite it she still wear full length jeans, not short or short skirt. She doesn't show anything below like Mia does. (Ofc maybe there's also consideration that Bernadette comes from hundred years ago before canon and still has a bit old fashioned thinking)

So unless she is from Intis, the pre-epoch transmigrator or has family/friend from pre-epoch that's influenced her fashion sense, I don't get how the canon era influenced Mia's fashion sense.

Tbh there's nothing wrong with Mia's design as game character, I can admit she is in fact 'covered up' compared to other game characters like Genshin or Wuwa. But as LOTM character she stuck out like sore thumbs. Especially in conservative place like Rune kingdom.

P.s some of you guys are probably used to the soft porn costume like drakengard/Nier series, Genshin (of lately version), Wuwa, etc. And see nothing wrong with Mia outfit.

But as novel fan can't I still have expectations of at least lore accurate for the costumes?

isn't there like Assasin's Creed Syndicate for example out there?

i love how literally everyone reading the webtoon is having the same reaction as soleum thinking "THIS is Viper??!!??!!" at cutie patootie Saheon

[carpediemisnicebuticannot]

I'm writing this post & it's taking longer to compile all of them. Probably because I'm reading both novel & webtoon for comparison, but I hope it's worth it.

One thing is for sure: Webtoon Braun & Soleum is gayer.

Gsgw having almost 5 million views in less than a day is crazy work + we’re only talking ’bout raws here.

It’s the first time I’ve seen scanlators translating a manhwa within few hours after the official release. It’s not even been a full day since gsgw came out yet it’s setting records already. Atp… I won’t even be surprised if we get an anime confirmation in another 6 months.

Edit: It has reached 5.4 million views now. Still not been a day tho 🥸

[the-feathered-dragon-hoard]

Reading GSGW manwha just make me think too much, I keep looking for clues and tracking what I already know thanks to hinsight—

The novel rewarded so much paying attentions to clues that I can’t stop, all my attention just suddenly focus while reading XD

Post part 2 spoily theories below

Did anyone else remembered the contact number KSE got at the beginning? I forgot the guy who welcome the new recruits was so suspicious! I think a theory kse mentionned in the novel was that he was from one of the branch and that it was a branch contact number? But that never truly came up afterward, so is it part 3 material? Is it linked to the person who gave him the goods? Is it the researcher from the Cheerful Institute in hiding who brought him from the lab to the recruit places?

I wanna know AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The goodies box is really suspicious too. Bcs [Good Friend] KSE is the one receiving it. Not mad KSE in Sekwang city. Do we even know how long has truly passed since he was brought to the ghost story world? I can’t remember when exactly Sekwang city disaster began. Just a year or so maybe? But that definitely mean KSE has a hole in his memory. More could have happened in between the moment he last remember being in his own world and the moment [Good Friend KSE] woke up at Daydream Inc Trainee Welcome.

So many theories.

listen as much as I love braun he isn't even my favourite-favourite and I never thought I would ever say this, but...

whether or not men benefit from feminism has no bearing on whether feminism is worthwhile

[cutecipher]

put another way. i dont care about how men are impacted by feminism

[cutecipher]

already have people mad about this. okay here's another take. men should be feminists for no benefit.

[mantis-lizbian]

just as white people should be anti-racism for no benefit, and cis people should be pro-trans for no benefit. the only "benefit" that should be required is the creation of a more just world, not because you, personally, actually do get something out of it.

[cows-quack]

[coyoteroadkill]

ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

[retquits]

so don't get too comfortable.
