I don't think so. Sniping is when a different party uploads before the standard party does. I have no idea why anon is uploading their versions

Probably worked on them, saw someone beat him, and figured he'd upload anyway so the work is seen, at least.

“It could be worse” doesn’t make anything suddenly good, and cutting slack just because it’s at least not MTL means no incentive for improvement though.

man you guys dont know how to appreciate good TL, no wonder people pay wall shit because ungrateful fcks like you thinks the world owes them masterclass translations. If youve ever translated any manga youd know horrendous scans from Good ones and this one is a masterpiece compared to shameless beggars using MTL to translate manga with lazy efforts. You guys have been spoiled too much that you dont know actual dog shit scans from good ones.
After chapter 50, I promised people on /a/ that I would provide quick translations of new chapters, at least until the situation with scanlators settled down (that was before asinthe showed up).
I did those TLs as fast as I could, as soon as the raws became available. It's true that they contain errors, but I actually provided all the necessary corrections and clarifications after the typesetting was done and I had a chance to reread everything more carefully. Some of those mistakes were then corrected by the typesetter, while others were not. I didn't insist, as this was never really meant for aggregator websites.
I'm not sure what was the point of posting this here, but whoever did it could have at least used the corrected pages. I mean all you had to do was scroll down a bit...

You're a good guy, anon. I praise you for your kindness to the anons.
As a translator (though no longer active) myself, I disagree with this sentiment. People shouldn't treat translating as a place to learn/hone their Japanese/English, and actually do it when they have sufficient competency to do so. I've had the displeasure of trying to clean up the mess of incompetent so-called translators before who only went by what they picked up on from watching anime. Otherwise they do disservice to people reading who might struggle to understand or worse, misunderstand stuff due to mistakes in translations or wrong portrayals/nuances, and disservice to the mangaka if readers then think the plot was bad because of the misunderstandings etc. Not saying this is what happened here (as i'm checking comments first to understand why there's these other uploads for chapters asinthe had done), but I don't think it's right to accept any and every work no matter the level of quality just because it isn't MTL.

Im saying this on the basis that the translation and TS on this snipe chapters are actually good and with flawless grammar compared to the Scans of the series im reading that have spotty and constant mistakes. This scan actually feels like its worked on by an english native who learned japanese instead of someone with english as their 3rd or 4th language. Another point i want to make is that Translators may have near native levels of japanese, but their english is spotty and not as good as their japanese which is somehow the case for scan groups working on popular titles.
So in summary, these chapters are
1. Slower than the main group
2. Not translated by the uploader
3. Didn't even take corrected translation
I don't get what the point is. Is uploader the guy who reports mangadex link of this series on reddit just to spite the main fanslation group?
