     @lapin Pretty much every single one
     1. "Such a bad manner"
     -Sounds like shit
     -Is wrong
     悪趣味 means taking pleasure from doing things others dislike on purpose (or "bad taste", but that does not apply here)
     2. "I didn't even sense her breath."
     This one isn't too bad I guess but 気配 is more like "presence", also isn't he turning around and talking to her? Why would he say "her breath"? It should be "your breath" if anything
     3. "They never go extinct no matter how many you squash."
     キリがない just means there's no end to them. They keep coming, just like cockroaches. Even if the cockroaches stop coming, it doesn't mean they are extinct, does it? Idk call this one nitpicky I guess, it just doesn't sit right with me

     well jisho dot org defines it as such. i mean yeah it could’ve been better? but i think it wasn’t so bad to warrant your hyperbole lol

     as for the rest, i think they’re fine. the 2nd one can be interpreted as him still muttering to himself even as he turned around to see her. again not that bad

     @lapin No, if anything jisho is more in line with my definition and the J-J dictionaries. "Bad manners" is not the same

     @locagainstwall
     well, manner and behavior are synonyms anyway. again i think it could’ve been better but it wasn’t that bad

     tho i would personally translate it to something like “Such a nasty behaviour you have.”

     @lapin It sounds like it was written by an ESL, and I say that as an ESL
