chrome has built in translate! ☺️ i switch between reading the original jp text and reading the machine tl since the translation sometimes makes mistakes or cannot translate certain words! i think its really quite difficult since you have to learn how some words are translated by the machine (like names) so i honestly can't really give a recommendation for an "easier" way to read except maybe familiarizing yourself with japanese and basic kanji/hiragana 🥲🥲 i think it becomes easier once you read a lot more MTL, since you will eventually understand commonly mistranslated phrases and words but it's really 100x more helpful if you at least have background knowledge on basic jp so you can at least check the original text as well💦💦
