How do you convey the effect and meaning of "even" such as in "even more".
example sentense
This provokes even more negative reactions
الترجمة لدي الآن هي ما يالي...و لكن لم أقنع نفسي بها
هذا يثير ردود الفعل السلبية أكثر
هل لديكم اقتراحات أحسن من اقتراحي؟
please put your focus on how to keep the effect of the word "even", not on the rest of the example sentence.
thanking you in advance!

don't translate it
My suggestion is that you shouldn't translate it in this example as the meaning is right without it as if we translated it the Arabic sentence will be weak or poor.
In other texts, the suggestions of our colleagues may fit.
Thanks,
Mohamed

حتى
ردود فعل أكثر سلبية حتى مما سبقها
But the best thing is to totally eliminate it.
