“Read it! Read it out loud!”

”…Midoriya Izuku was not supposed to feel this way. Not about him.

Not about Bakugo Katsuki, his childhood rival, the explosive, brash, utterly—oh my god, I can’t do this. Just kill me.”

“NO! KEEP GOING!”

These sound very pronounceable, not a ' or name directly borrowed from a polish cooking recipe in sight.

T’bfer

Li’gniuthoiauez

Chrrkpaeiv’x

Liailei’l’aelal’lė

T’bfer: TUB-fer

Li’gniuthoiauez: lee-gnew-THOY-a-wez

Chrrkpaeiv’x: churrk-PAY-iv-ix (the "rr" optionally trilled)

Liailei’l’aelal’lė: lee-eye-layl-a-AY-lal-lay, which is delightfully musical-sounding in my opinion

Èëēęérřïņbœ: This one's got a lot of tonal vowels, which would definitely be interesting to hear, and it'd be pronounced as if you're being gently but vigorously shaken up and down: "eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-RRING-bee", with the "RR" once again trilled.

Chabdb: and finally, our good old buddy old pal, "CHAB-dib"

Thanks for working this out. Pretty much what I had in mind.

These are characters from an anime, I think the joke here was more about the author writing cringe erotic fan fiction (and feeling cringe reading the words out loud) than it is about the names

Reading a Japanese name in English always sounds surreal to me.

If you have a diacritical symbol that no one else uses on a consonant that shouldn't have different ways of being pronounced, it's probably Polish or some Slavic language.

Those are amateur names! Try two from R.A. Salvator: House Baenre, and my man Drizzt.
