The TL team translates Yin and Yang with feminity and masculinity, and it's awfully wrong.
There're a whole amount of meanings that are cut off translating this way.
Can't they just leave Yin and Yang like all the other TLs?

    Forkke Well, in many novels Ying & Yang stands for femininity and masculinity. The duality of life. Two opposites which are dependent of each other.

    Often ying energy is either feminine, cold, death or evil, while yang energy is often masculinity, heat, life, aggression (positive, not only violence), but rarely (if ever) yang stands for "good".

    The Ying & Yang symbol is often described as good (white) and evil (black), while there is an everlating root of evil (black) in the white area and an everlasting root of good (white) in the black area.

    Ying and Yang aren't perfectly defined concepts. More like a loose idea with an unlimited amount of interpretations.

    It's not science.

        Karyehs And that's why it should be left as 'Yin and Yang'. Some things aren't meant to be translated literally since they can't be. That was the entire point of the OP...

        Ps. The novel is quite garbage regardless...

            N0xiety I've nothing else to read, since i've already read everything else that seemed interesting, dropping a lot of novel (last one, Painting of the Nine Immortals, 'cause the author sucks the MC's dick so hard that it made the MC's homo).

                Forkke Try Death Mage or Everybody Loves Large Chests

                Also Badge in Azure is really great. It starts quite mediocre and the authors use of Jason Statham's name doesn't help, but it becomes really great the further you read. Give it a try and read atleast 50 chapters.

                'Am I a God?' is also pretty good. Pretty underrated novel, but it's understandable as it's a hard to enter novel. It's a comedy/action novel. Kinda resembles the show Heroes, but with lots of comedy and cats. The mc is mildly stupid and does stupid sh*t all the time, so be prepared for that. He is also kind of an asshole. Even the author knows his mc is stupid and he even got a nickname 'No Brain' while he was supposed to be called 'Headless Horseman' haha! Translation was bad first 100 chapters or so, but it got alot better now.

                Oh and there is also a little gem called To Be a Power in the Shadows!
                It's a chuunibyou action/comedy novel tho, so go in prepared about that. If you hate chuuni, don't even bother with this.
