Reader as "copy editor"
Apr. 24th, 2016 08:13 amI noticed many mistakes while I was reading LOGH vol.1 and clearly my copy was the first print of the novel.
Looking at this tweet they pretty much acknowledge they released mistakes littered book to the mass and I'm pissed. The "six" error were not the only errors, trust me I read the book. There were awkward phrasing like you to have to read several times to understand, there were also repetitive word and the best of all they made mistake spelling main character name on the character intro page!
Basically I'm worried about vol.2, I obviously have pre-ordered it and I think I should cancel and wait several month or a year for second print. If I bought the first print I'll just be a free makeshift copy editor for Haikasoru. I waited for this novel to be licensed for a long time, publisher neglecting QC for reader to do it instead is not something I fancy.
p/s: yes, I sent email to them telling about the mistakes I found.
( vol.2 )
