I can understand getting invested in works you translate as a hobby, but what about works that you translate for work? Do you get invested, emotionally or no, in the story or characters? Or is it just business?
When you translate for fun, you can choose to work on only the stuff you like. When you translate for a company, you sometimes get asked to take on projects that you might not personally care for as much. Some projects I fall in love with the characters and setting and can't wait to come back for more... others, not so much. Whether or not I'm being paid for a project doesn't influence whether or not I fall in love with it-- that's a project by project thing and the same whether I'm doing it for fun or for work.
