Oh I know, I was beginning sarcastic. When anyone tries to compliment me by saying that I'm like <insert famous successful rich person> I usually laugh at them because I know that I'm a nobody and there's no way in hell that my "smut with plot" stories will ever get mainstream attention.

So it was a bad joke. :blob_catflip:

Yeah that's why I'm asking probing questions. Because if they are going to use an AI to translate my stuff then I don't see the point in having them do it because I don't trust AI to do a good enough job not to have mistakes.
For the Chinese as far as I know, my mate used MTL and when a part/phrase did not make sense, manual translation. He knows both Chinese and Russian, so it is easy to tell if a translation is correct and MTL saves time. For a novel with that many chapters and... limited literary value manually translating every chapter does not make sense.

Why not ask your fan if he will use AI, manual translation, or a mix if both? Since he knows English, is a fan, and asked you, he may very well be an actual translator. As long as he proofreads the it and has good command of Russian, his translation will be better than 80% of manual Korean translations on NU. AI translations are not necessarily awful and neither does manual translation ensure quality.
