A friend asked me several months ago if I could translate a book he's working on. I said yes because I didn't have much to do at the time but procrastinated like hell after I started my seminar.
Only recently I began to translate as he keeps pressuring me to give him the translation already.
So now I have to dedicate fulltime into this translation. And it's fucking bullshit! These stories are fucking cliché and extremely misogynist. I want to punch him every time I have to read another page.
Imagine the literature section in here compiled into an anthology, all about 'lost loves' which, being close friends to him, I know are offensively thinly veiled references to women I know, and the narrator is a complete Gary Sue character (obviously)

The worst part is I can't do shit about it, because I lied to him that I was almost done with the translation.
I didn't know his stories would be this bad! I didn't know!!
