Ok, for some reason I keep getting told to read The Sorrows of Young Werther (Yes I identify as an incel), but I can't read or speak German so which translation should I go with?
Is there one that is pretty much universally accepted as definitive or the best, I'm not interested in the whole "if you're looking for X go with this version, if you're looking for Y then try this, etc."

It's only for people who have suffered from unrequited love. Lust filthy incels have no place there.

I'm far from a lustful individual, in fact my libido is all but diminished because of the depression I've experienced for the last decade.
Definitely have experienced unrequited love, in fact the feelings I usually develop towards my "oneitises" for lack of a better term are often so strong and pure that I begin to find it impossible to even see them in a sexual light after a time.
