DICE, chapter 115 (reader)

And here it is:

DICE 115

Thanks go to our great redrawer Fábio as usual, and this time to our good friend Jun, too, who finished the retouching of the last redraw.

Some clarification on our scanlation pipeline.

We do have back-up translators, but the decision to engage them is never made by me. Jin allows herself an entire week to translate the chapter, and she is the one who instructs me to contact someone else when she realises she won't be able to do it. Even if I make the suggestion, I wait for her decision. This time, she finished the chapter in a trice after sorting out her real life affairs, so it wasn't necessary.

The author awaits your love by visiting the original at Naver.

I would be very surprised if the English licensees expected love, but here is their latest… whatever.

(However, to be fair to them, recently I realised that most of the fonts I use for typesetting are labelled by their makers "free for personal use". My font code for DICE has around 60 different fonts. But LINE is a commercial outfit, which means they have to license their fonts and pay for using them. This is probably the reason why their typesetting is so bad, as probably they only have a small number of fonts they are allowed to use. It's one of those little paradoxes of capitalism, whereby the people who are actually doing it for money are prevented from attaining the same quality standards of those who are doing it for fun.)
