What is this abnormality? Sorry if I am rude, but I can't believe anyone done a proper research on manga typesetting could fail this bad. Why would you use the same font for everything? It's not even a good manga font. The line spacing is terrible, the shapes of the texts are terrible, too much overflow. Some speech bubble have way too much negative space, some don't have enough. Some SFXs are too blurry and have a bad shape. I wont comment about the translation quality, because just see the typeset hurt my eyes.

If your looking to do scanlation, might I suggest a manga that no one is currently working on called Isekai Metaller?

It's about a Metalhead rocker who gets transported to a fantasy world and he fights monsters with his rock music.

As far as the font go's. I know fancy fonts are appealing, but legibility is king. Especially when lots of people use phones which have much smaller screens than a computer. Out side that, you did a fine job.

It's simple. I believe this is a full machine translation. You know, since there are already AI manga translation tools that automatically read the text, translate and typeset them in a one go.

Best rule of thumb and I'm being unironic here, is to leave a chapter after its finished for a few days then read it over yourself after a mental reset. If it reads like something you'd be happy reading from someone else in its current state then its suitable. If its not, other people are going to think the same as you if you release it anyway.

'Good enough' doesn't please people. And like someone said, practice is best done on inactive or long finished series.

Keep practicing! I'd be wary of doing the latest chapter on any series being actively released. Your font choice is also kind of hard to read at certain sizes, the letters mush together at times
Thanks man it's my first time translating and English is not my first language so i try to improve

theres precedent to someone sniping causing the previous tl to leave, so its understandable that this is being so negatively looked upon

i know its probably for practice and keep at it! youll get better!
but its scanlation courtesy to not snipe a series thats actively being scanlated by another group
