Why I don't read Japanese novels like that anymore

[BLIGHT_ZERO]

Chinese novels are worse. "Feminine mounds"

That is a truly bizarre scene. Much like what I think was a typo in a review of Woody Allen's "Sleeper" (either that or there was a different scene filmed for broadcast television): "And then there is that brilliant scene of the demented breast wandering around the landscape..."

Yeah, chinese has a ton of censorship for harmony (aka 和谐, which the CN readers jeer as River Crab 河蟹).

One of which is "below the neck" law.

No explicit scenes regarding below the neck and authors will euphemise everything.

Breasts can be colloquially known as jade rabbits, snow white, hills/ mounds.

Yikes, that's exactly why I'm learning japanese, so I can read and watch anime, manga, light novels, and visual novels in its purest form
There's just a lot of localization issues often

I'm confused. I thought we were talking about JP novels?

That's what happens when you have a language that's only context, nuances, and between-the-lines. Most of those TLs are like throwing puns and metaphors at an autist... Sometimes you get gold, but most of the time the meaning goes over their head.

Just check your source. Fansub > anything official.

Also:

I’ll take euphemism over body type 2.

Reads like average industry romance slop.

But those look more like masculine, or perhaps androgynous, mounds...
Unless they are the feminine form and Almond Joy is the masculine, since it has nuts...?
