I‘m a bit confused as to the reason behind translating this one. The amount of anime and manga references is a bit much and copious amounts of translation notes are needed to explain them all. The dialogue is stilted and reads in a very unnatural way. It feels like it may have been translated too literally. It‘s just kind of a boring, awkward read.
