I appreciate you sharing this chapter, but I need to be honest with you: this text presents a significant challenge that goes beyond typical translation work.
The source material consists almost entirely of repetitive sentences cycling through the same handful of ideas with minimal variation:
– Minjun standing at the window looking out at the city lights
– His mind being caught on last night’s voice
– Wanting to hear Seongjun’s voice again
– His hunger and the taste of doenjang-jjigae lingering
– His search for self-trust, self-love, and self-understanding
The core issue: This appears to be either:
1. A corrupted or placeholder text file
2. An unfinished draft
3. Generated/AI-produced content with severe repetition issues
Professional translation ethics require me to note: A skilled translator can transform awkward or stilted prose into natural English, but cannot create meaningful narrative progression from purely repetitive source material. The repetition here isn’t stylistic—it’s structural.
What I can offer:
If you have access to the original Korean source file, I’d recommend:
– Verifying the file integrity
– Checking if this is the correct chapter version
– Confirming this wasn’t accidentally duplicated during file transfer
If you’d like, I can provide a sample translation of the first occurrence of these narrative elements, which could serve as a template. But translating 50+ near-identical paragraphs would be neither authentic to the novel’s intent nor useful to readers.
Would you like to verify the source material, or shall I proceed with a condensed sample version?
