Status Updates From Musashi: Book One - Earth, ...

Finished Part One: Earth. This translation is so unbelievably better than the previous one I read. I did not realize how abridged it had been, which explains the pacing issues I thought it had.

Also, this is way better translated in general. It is not as whitewashed as the earlier translation was. There is still the odd Scottish vernacular usage, but that tapers off as the story progresses.

Started reading this because I am reading Steel Gods too quickly. Need to savor it more.

I am so excited to finally have an unabridged translation of this book!! Already I can tell how horribly condensed that other edition I read was.

Only kinda complaint is, I guess the translator is Scottish? There's a lot of British & Scottish vernacular used, so it's difficult not to give every character a Scottish accent lol.
