Long version
I’ve made the decision to retire from scanlating. I know this may feel sudden, but it’s something I’ve been wrestling with for a while. Scanlating has been fun, but it’s also been incredibly stressful. I often felt like if I didn’t upload daily, I’d be letting everyone down. That constant pressure really wore me out. It even got to the point where I’d rearrange my entire day after work just to squeeze in chapter editing, and it started to feel like I was stuck on a timer 24/7. This isn’t anyone’s fault—it’s just how my own brain kept making me feel. For my own well-being, I need to step away (I am fine, just tired a lot). All the series I was working on are now open to anyone who wants to continue them, and I hope whoever picks them up can bring even better translations and editing quality to readers.
. . .
Finally, if you see people outside the server asking about my scanlations or wondering why there are no new uploads, please share this message with them so they know what’s going on. Thank you all for your support and understanding.
