So I guess before Zero Scans went dead on their own site they pulled all of their more recent uploads on here? They used to have at least chapter 22 on here before. Talk about petty.

Glad to see this return though, despite the odd turn into dragon drug making for a bit there this has been a real enjoyable series and now we got to see at least some retribution to his old guild.

Go to Zero Scans Website they dont upload to mangadex
Sorry, but I'd rather not.

Laisses Faire attitudes towards scans groups profiteering on releases is part of what contributed to the mass DMCA strike against MD. Not the entire reason, but certainly a major contributing factor. As such, I do not like seeing anyone encouraging this behavior in any way, shape, or form.

These publishers generally tend to take notice when it gets back to them that someone is making money off of content they have the license for legal distribution and sales in a given region. It's gotten to the point, now, where outfits like Ko-Fi, Patreon, PayPal, and Google Ad Sense will ban-hammer accounts when they find out they're being used for unlicensed translation work - they don't want the headache of dealing with an angry publishing company who have lawyers on-hand.

And, what's more, the publishers will always go after the easiest target. And that's not the scanslation groups, but Mangadex itself. With scans groups it's like playing the Internet version of whack-a-mole. They'll just pop up in another location. But MD can't do that. Not with the size of their databases and image servers.

That said, it's probably for the best that you don't panhandle. Not to be impolite, but it's a legal fig leaf to cover your ass with. Also, if Ko-Fi finds out about it, they will not only ban your account, but they'll also reverse as many payments as possible, and that will leave you in a bad spot. Don't believe me? Look at happened to Setsu Scans when their crowdfunding accounts got banned. They lost a lot of their funds, and they now have to rely on cryptocurrency.

If getting high quality raws without funding is an issue for you, then asking for someone to be a raw provider is more than just acceptable, it's actually the preferred method by the scans community at-large when you can't afford it yourself. Anyone who says otherwise are only making up excuses to cover the fact that they want to make money off of scanslation, even if they claim they need to pay their staff. Scanslation started out as a hobby and a sort of public service, so anyone who is in it to make money, whether they're a cleaner, redrawer, translator, typesetter, or even a quality checker or editor, goes against the original ethos behind scanslation.

You could have at least read what i wrote before going on your rant...
I can guarantee you that we didn't pull anything from MD. We literally didn't care about MD for years before ZS even died. Whether stuff got uploaded or not was entirely on the community for quite some time already. It would be pretty damn stupid to only pull half of it either way. Well, thank you anyway, now i don't feel so bad for not wasting my time anymore just so i can get shit on by someone like you all the time. Something i absolutely didn't miss.

Correction: it wasn't even on the community since we had an MD power uploader on the team who did actually still upload our work.

Yes that is unfortunately the case. While i waited for the next Volume to be released, ZS not only completely died but i myself ran into personal issues so i wasn't able to continue the translation. Not sure why the chapters up to 23 are gone, i am pretty sure they were uploaded on MD before.. I'll see if i can do something about that.
Huh…didn’t know ZS died. Inthought y’all are more or less stable due to the official TL contracts.

MD did a massive "cleansing" a few months ago & screwed up everything. So a lot of manga got deleted. We'll either way I hope things are going better for you & if not yet I hope it does soon.

Just a heads up, the recent re-upload of chapter 23 is missing a couple of pages, I think they're 17 & 18.

I dislike the implication that this would not be as big of a deal if one of the victim wasn't a princess. While it's true, it still feel a rather icky.

Sorry that it made it seem like I didn't care about the work you did back then and going back to read what you wrote I'm also sorry that things took a turn for you personally alongside the group. Unless I'm planning on having a conversation, I'm not really going to read through the comments and simply went off the fact of what was stated in the first page about the gap and the fact that the only chapters that were removed by the "purge" would still be visible through that checkbox to show hidden chapters, leading to my one sentence rant.

Ah yes, the drug dealer dragon tamer manga, it's really been a while
1. Stop label friendly dragons as PETS.
2. Why do you take these trash design seriously? They don't even resemble dragons.
