Field notes
The comparison uses a cultivation-novel passage to show how a generic translation can split a character’s name or mistranslate genre language, then presents NovelTL’s alternative. Glossary entries are labeled by type and shown with chapter counts; the page also previews a new-chapter alert and a book-style reader. Browser buttons for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Firefox are all marked “Coming soon,” so the landing page does not establish that readers can install the extension yet.
