maybe tumblr wont eat my ask this time. TLDR the 7s deluxe edition is just to make money. several of their new releases are a flop, no thanks to them buying properties of transphobic and queerphobic authors. ppl kept asking for hardcover, envying all the other countries, and 7s got them that. though they waited until all of tgcf was released to make people buy their most profitable danmei all over again. It doesn't contain anything new from the paperback except some fixed typoes and a new cover (inside art stays the same per their announcement). they might one day publish the revised version but they don't usually buy directly from jjwxc, they buy the 'international' versions from pinsin. once pinsin gets on it, 7s will probably too, especially since fans keep asking them for the revised one. some people also speculated that 7s license (5years) will run out soon so they might just want to squeeze some more money out of it before it ends (the tgcf hardcover is set to release one volume per month) pity they won't rerelease mdzs bc that shit could actually use some hard scrubbing from a professional editor but then again idk any sane or insane mdzs fan that would want to buy mdzs from 7s ever again.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. This sounds even more like a grift now.
#tgcf asks#anon#if they re-released mdzs#they are most definitely not gonna have fixed all those mistranslations#so I’m not even hoping#it’s bad enough we don’t know as a collective how much tgcf’s translation might have been fucked#because the translator for the official did the only available fan translation as well#the only good translation was svsss#it had the least problems and the least drama#and now they’re paying it dust#since they can’t ride on the coattails of mxtx news to push for people to buy the same exact thing with a shiny new cover
