Hrm, writing is always a tough one to get over for me. I finally got into Elex lately, but man, the conversations grate on me.
Overly wordy nonsense, abrupt translation, or both?
I assume its the translation. I can't really judge if it is well written in the native language. Maybe it would be easier to listen to in German and then just have subtitles. I don't know, there is always a period of adjustment for me when dealing with stuff that was clearly not written in English. Good translations are not easy.
