My Lovable Fatty

I'm the translator for a manhwa called My Lovable Fatty in the three, two, person scanlation group called Sarang Syrup. You have to be Korean to understand.

The series is basically about a short, fat, and ugly girl who returns to Korea after living in America for several years and is bullied due to her looks. Now, it's not like she hated herself because she was fat and ugly, she hated herself because everyone is mean to her. Her first love calls her a fat monster, her only 'friend' tells her she can't change no matter how hard she tries, and she gets pushed into a field of manure by this group called the One Club. This all happens in one day.
So being depressed and dejeced, she goes to the mountains and decides to hang herself but she's so heavy that the rope SNAPS and she falls into the ground where she finds a box of pills... Thinking that the pills will kill her she takes one and she is knocked out for 5 days and -- WAIT. NO. I'M NOT REVIEWING THE SERIES. I'M HERE TO RANT.

So I get it if peope don't like the series, everyone is entitled to their opinions. What I don't like is when people say things like:
"This series is horrible but I can't stop reading it."
"It's so stupid but I can't stop reading it."
and etc. THE PROOF IS IN THE FORUMS.

All I can say is... WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IT TO THE WORLD? IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH STOP READING IT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
If people just keep saying that do they think we would WANT to keep translating it? Do they think we WANT to translate for people who HATES the series?! SO INSENSITIVE!!!


In other news. I must download Apollo Justice. His hair is weirder than Pheonix Wright. New sexy characters. Woot.


Oh and I finished The Hunger Games. :D My thoughts on it? Check my tumblr.
