Questionable Questing

on that note, I feel like I can't really read fanfics with "Japanese" settings anymore like I used to, I mean, like works written in Japanese, so like even Konosuba, when the fanfics are written in English, because the English writers keep inserting these Americanisms? Englishism?

it takes me away from the setting and makes me realize this isn't the original work, it's just a fan work written by some thirty-something year old in Maine or something

You know, even if it's written by someone who seems to be experienced, but when they write, it's got this feeling of "look at me, I get this foreign language reference, I'm part of the in-crowd"

You know, instead of actually telling the story from an "in world" perspective, from the writer that is, it feels like a brat looking at the writer's work and then smudging around on it and trying to get the same kind of approval

but that's not it, I guess it's just the feeling of it instead of actually describing the act

I mean, it could be small stuff like having some character call another "blah-chan-sama" instead of just using "-chama", it could be them speaking English idioms while they should be Japanese high school students, idk
