It's better than Summaryanon's.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Unreadable like almost all fan translations

Half the Re:Zero threads. Chicken is too slow. They should just edit Summaryanon's stuff when he's finished.
Sage for unnecessary thread.

Summaryanon glosses over loads of dialogue, glosses over all non-dialogue, butchers verbal tics, and disregards tense.
It is fundamentally uneditable. Editing it would be slower than translating from scratch.

>butchers verbal tics
I haven't seen him handle them any differently from other translations. Could you elaborate which ones and why? Beako's, Emilia's, and Roswaal's all seem to be at least consistent with the way most translators handle them.

How much does summaryanon skip? 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% ? I'm aching for more Rezero but reading a novel where half is missing would just spoil the experience.

Pick them both up, read a couple chapters against each other, and use that to determine if the information drop rate is too high for you to be comfortable reading summaryanon.

Oh hey! Speaking of Chicken, they just posted the 2nd half of chapter 13.

Like 15% dialogue is untranslated? He doesn't skip it, per se.
But he says occasionally says something to the effect of "they talk about this topic for a while".
Basically handling it like he handles non-dialogue. More summary than translation.
Hence "Summary"user.
But again, Summaryanon *does* translate most of the dialogue.

We need to make "fan localizations" a thing.

This is just awful.
