Honestly, what I read of Solo Leveling was so devoid of any genuine human connection that I'm not surprised the brave fujos soldiers resorted to fishing in foreign waters. Maybe protagonist to proganist alchemy would smash through Sung Jinwoo's emotional unavailibility... Can't blame them for hoping

Stopping here for today, but I'll say that this makes for a much more pleasant reading experience than the first TL. The descriptions are more atmospheric and the narration flows better.
(I can't compare to the official english TL though, I bought the book but have yet to open it.)

For some reason, Kim Dokja's sudden potty mouth here feels more jarring than the first TL's use of "that bastard". If I was Han Myungoh and the eternally meek contractor suddenly swung at me like this, I would also have bluescreened lol (ch8)

Nah, that one is honestly on me. I checked and the MTL used the exact same translation: "diehard military otaku". I just forgot 🤠

Man, imagine if it had worked. Would any of us have bought his bullshit 5 seconds later when he claimed he was adopting Lee Gilyoung just for coins.

Wait, Kim Dokja did actually wait so long to use the eggs because he was hoping to give them to the grandma so she could live. I thought I had made that up. (ch6)
Nevermind that she was already badly injured at this point and would have died anyway. Nevermind that this was really a lot of coins.

To be fully fair though, half the reason I struggle loading my Kobo books onto a Kindle is Kobo's damn DRMs. So Kobo isn't squeaky clean either.

but I tried to do what you wanted to (kindle ebook on a non-kindle ereader) for my sister once and it was even worse. Couldn't figure out how to make it work.
You can still install their stupid reading software on a computer, though 🙃

Help, yeah, Kindle's stupid proprietary format is a big issue. Sorry you had to find out like that 😭 I have the opposite problem (own a 10+ yo Kindle ereader that still works very well but am now buying all my ebooks on Kobo because fuck Ama*on) so I've found a (stupidly convoluted) workardound -

I feel like no matter how chill I wrote Lee Seolhwa, there'd be a limit somewhere.

Also imagine being Lee Seolhwa, losing your child, and then your husband's soulmate shows up. You're standing there with your slowly sinking marriage and you can't say anything about your husband's comfort office worker folding your laundry and cleaning your house while you're too depressed for it.
