I’m doing these translations so non-Korean speaking people can get the same reading experience that Koreans get when they first buy the novels.

I’m fine with people who want to be spoiled looking up stuff and reading or seeing spoiler contents beforehand. But I do have mixed feelings about people starting to spread the spoiler contents.

On one hand, I fully realize that I have no rights to enforce anyone to not spread these spoilers. All I’m doing is an unofficial and sub-par quality fan translation after all.
But on the other hand, whenever I see these contents start to spread, I feel sorry for the readers that might accidentally see these contents when they didn’t want to. (Just like I accidentally did earlier today.)

Whatever the story is, I believe that stories shouldn’t ever be spoiled to people that doesn’t wish to be spoiled. I also believe that your enjoyment of the stories drop significantly when you see these stories after getting spoiled. There may be those that might share my beliefs and those that might not. But even if you don’t share these beliefs, you should at least respect the wishes of those who wants their reading experience to be fresh as possible. All I can do is to beg for this, please take some measures for people that don’t want to be spoiled when you are posting these spoiler contents. Of course, it’s totally the their fault if they saw them after you took those measures.

It really makes me happy when I see people reading my translations then giving feedbacks(good and bad) or just talking about the novels in general. Because I think that means I gave more people the opportunity that they may never have gotten because of something so lame like a language barrier. (Unless reading Time Trouble scarred some of your lives forever. I’m really sorry then. Q_Q. But hey, there’s probably some Koreans that got scarred just as same as you. That’s some neat fact to realize right?). I’m also happy that so many of you are taking interest in the spoiler contents. Since I interpret that as you’ve been keeping up with the story enough to care about it. I’m just asking, respect those that don’t want to be spoiled. Please take some measures so that people that don’t want to see them can’t see them.

Now, for some selfish rants I want to get off my chest. Just ignore this last part if you want. It’s just selfish me talking.
