CN to EN translation - Sylus Translation Project - @ladstranslation | she/her | 30+ | DMs open | neurodivergent | 🐦⬛🍎❄️💫🐠
- WHAT THE FUCK LOCALIZATION VENDOR. YOU HAD ONE JOB. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TRANSLATE THIS LINE: “I WAS NEVER YOUR BROTHER.”
- As a reminder, Infold quite literally labeled Sylus as a BDSM Dominant, using the term 上位者. Reminder #2: Sylus tells MC very clearly that he intends to keep MC up all night long and says she won’t get any sleep. In CN, this is very clearly about sex.
- Oh my god. This is seriously giving myth MC.
- Sylus is NOT a villain. He is unequivocally an archetypal Chinese antihero. Specifically, he actually fits the model of a xianxia antihero. You may be asking yourself, “What is a xianxia antihero?” Good question. Let me explain in this thread.
- This is a single tail whip. In order to use it for impact play, you need a lot of proper training, practice, and experience. Only the most skilled Dominants in impact play can use a single tail.

- Retranslated and subtitled Caleb clip - Farspace Deprivation “Be a good girl.”
00:00 - Replying to @qierinzelThis is actually most likely due to a choice made by the localization vendor that Infold uses to localize their content to ensure that global doesn’t lose their shit due to perceived lack of consent.
- Quick Sylus notes before I do the whole retranslation of the video: 就这么不想让我走 You just really don’t want to let me go. 明明是你说….. 要。 You clearly are the one who said… you want it.
- CALEB MAIN STORY RETRANSLATION & SUBTITLED TRAILER “Your greatest mistake is thinking I’d be willing to keep acting like your good older brother.” Caleb says “扮演” for “act” and by that, he means “perform” or “play a role” or figuratively, “pretend.” Which means this entire
00:00 - Sylus is not 28. Pretty sure his anecdote suggests that he’s several centuries old. Not only is he from Philos, but also, the brooch he left when he broke out of the space-time prison AND the one on Feathers Star are both CENTURIES old. The real question is how many centuries?
