I was enjoying this translation and then I looked at ftl and saw this line: "A mountain of corpses amidst a sea of blood."Who looked at this line and thought 'yeah, let's go with "Blood and carnage" It was the same with Art thou ailing. Whole sentences were missing or were made into "summary"
That’s kinda butchering the poetic aspect. 😩

I don't get it what's behind these choices. When I was comparing Art thou ailing, official translation maybe really did read more smoothly but I'd still rather have a whole text, not parts missing because it sounds more common??
ud be surprised how much can change in translation
