Snipers don't care about chapter order.

Snipers don't care about chapter order.

And scanlators without competition don't care about timely uploads.

Dude. Get it through your thick skull. This. Is. Not. A. Competition. People are doing this voluntarily, on their free time. They don't expect to be paid for this unless they are using scummy things such as a paywall (which Mangadex disapproves). Competition implies there is something to be won here. The people doing this just want to either practice their skills or share this manga in their own language for the "love of the game" as some others say. Scanlators also owe you nothing. You are reading this for free. It's basically charity work on their part.

Without Competition? Didn't know translating manga was a rank game now 💀

Last I checked, a lot of scanlators do actually ask for payment, not as a paywall, but as a pay to translate, or at least donate. Anyway, what I was getting at was that there are a lot of manga where there'd be one uploader, and they'd upload slowly, but then someone would snipe it by uploading a couple of untranslated chapters at once, and that'd cause the first group to sorta kick things up a notch. Getting a manga sniped can suck, but if it results in people getting to read more of the manga, then it's a win for the readers. Like, Tougen Anki is in a weekly magazine, but we've been 4 months with 4 chapters, with one hell of a backlog, so if someone wants to jump in and uploading 7 chapters at once, even if it leaves a gap, I welcome it.

I think the issue is that he didn’t even snipe correctly like he skipped a whole 20 fucking chapters I honestly don’t think the snipe would’ve been as bad if it just continued where the other group left off but they didn’t do that and skipped to the most current chapters which will hoe most readers and basically make them miss out on a lot of context of the story I’m all for picking up series if they haven’t been uploaded in months but if you gonna skip 2+ volumes worth of chapters is psycho behavior

Donations are still not mandatory to read the work they've made. Supporters may offer to pay raws so TL can go faster, but there is nothing forcing you. Most of the TL teams I'm reading even encourage you to buy the work once it becomes available in one's own language so the proceedings go to the mangaka.

Lol reading a few pages of this ended up being spoilers, jfc. I went back to the previous chapter to see wtf was going, then when going back to the new chapter, it gave the warning about going from 242 to 266. Seriously, wtf is wrong with this uploader?

 

[boostedskyline]

Who tf is actually continuing this manga with a 20 chapter gap?? Still waiting for 243 tf is this shit still
