Help us make a decision for the Library edition
I really dislike 2. It feels too modern and maybe not the author's true voice for the time period. I really wish i knew how to read japanese so i could tell.
Which one did you prefer? How would you rank them?
I voted 2, but only because it is more readable for modern day readers, but find no 5 more attractive.
(I almost suspect that no 2 was an AI translation, but that does not fit the dates mentioned)
2-1-3-4-5
2: readable modern (AI?)
1: strokes the English formal sensibilities
3:
4, 5: fairy-tale cadence with modern words. Feels off
