So this translator snipes a series, slaps his patreon and paywalls it. How nice.

I hope this doesn't discourage the other teanslator

Her voice hasn't been implemented? Who made this game, Bandai Namco?🥀

Thanks for the chapter.

Pretty sure Silas is Comicdom, so they only work on stuff that actively gets them money. Once the money stops they drop it and hop on the next popular series, and repeat.

The main thing here is that the Patreon paywall is going to get them and all their alt accounts banned permanently from MD, due to Site Terms of Service #5.2.22

Pretty sure I sure don't know who's that. Pls let me know who is comicdom?

Edit: I see... I've been here for 3 years btw. I never encountered that shit. I just made the patreon post for this week and now you're assuming that it's me? Tf.

@SilasMeanQuite If your productivity goes up and stays up, then I think people will be more willing to support you. For at least a year now you've been slowing down while also dropping projects that you were doing solo before you got a team, so people are understandably leery; it's in part why I haven't donated in a while. Especially since you're going the route of locking off latest chapters on Patreon with that hanging over you already.

Will do, I've been planning to work on it, due to irl stuff it was up and down

Oh god they're gonna text to speech her with AI voices.

I'm thinking a soundboard. "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

I don't think they're Comicdom; their translations and redrawing are usually pretty decent whereas Comicdom was clearly churning out stuff as fast as MTL could spit it out.

That being said, you are correct that Silas largely only works on a series when he's being paid. Occasionally he's stuck with a series he's enjoyed (usually to catch up with the raws) but once the commission is complete and people stop donating he moves on to the next series.

There's nothing wrong with being a scanlator for hire per se, though it does make it hard to want to support them on any kind of recurring basis when you never know if a series is going to get dropped suddenly or not.

The paywalling is going to be a problem though; no arguments there.

They absolutely are, check their save and load translation. Shitty MTL with close to no redrawing or cleaning or anything.

The number of people reading this who don't realize Silas had been the translator from the start is wild.

But yeah, do be careful about how you bring up your Patreon. Asmodeus Scans got nuked from the site because they'd been advertising paywall-gated chapters.
