[phil777]

sniping is good thing, the competition

IT IS NOT A FUCKING COMPETITION. Stop implying everything is a capitalist hellscape and that we all need to fight one another. 🤬

 

[MisterMemeDaddy]

My ass just trying to enjoy the funny manga without all the drama, not defending sniping but at least this shit is readable unlike the last dude who tried

 

[LecherousLeech]

Bad guy: I can hear my sword spirit! You're doomed!
MC: BANKAI!

I feel like it’s more like an edgy magical girl transformation. Especially with that final line, which is very reminiscent of Sailor Moon.

@Cmega
I get it, you got paid to translate the series, but throwing shade at the other TL group when you yourself admit that you haven't read their translation fully seems pretty scummy to me. Especially when they're doing it for free. You could have just said you got paid to do it and left out the condescending crap.

If he's referring to that Mostly MTL translations that still has chapter 50, it was really bad. Rom-com heaven is fine, but they're just doing this in their spare time so you can see some inconsistencies between batches.

this is too cringe he keeps saying mama bro hard to believe he’s 30 years old in his past life and he’s talking about lolicons and yet they aren’t so like wtf

I mean... I find it a bit convenient that, when there were no uploads for about four months and someone else decided to step up, RC was able to pump out, what, six chapters or so in a one week time frame as batch releases because of it? So, yeah, in this case, competition was a good thing, because it means the only thing that got sniped was RC's pride and "exclusivity" with the series. Otherwise, they would've found the time to post something or at least explain that they're busy, no?

 

[Iwashiii]

there were mtl groups here, if you missed it. And again, the "condescending crap" was not intended towards the other translator here, they werent even present when i started to begin with. And I got paid to do 54-55. Not the whole series.
Did the 6 extra chapters (including 56) keeping the MD community in mind.

sad part if even if you sit there and explain(Which usually the groups never do) These people won't give two shits and still be unhappy

 

[coldness]

Sniping right after the other group came back despite being sniped already recently is pretty dang low. What happened to the good faith and general guidelines on this stuff

I think it's amazing you think it's still being sniped when they had nearly a half year hiatus before they got "sniped" and decided to come back, and now you act butthurt on their behalf. Why even call the first chapter that came out before RC decided to all of a sudden come back a snipe, there was no indication that they would be coming back at all so they for all intents and purposes dropped it. Then all of a sudden they come back and now it "belongs" to them again, who abandoned it for whatever reason for nearly half a year?

There's pride and all that in scanalating but screw that noise. For all we know, RC wouldn't have even come back had no one posted a legitimate non MTL effort.

Nice burner account. Should have grown a spine and said it with your main account. I already explained my reasons, anyway.

25+ years ago when paypal was a mostly unused infant multipul groups still went after the same series without need of monetary gain. we might live in the hellscape now where easy payment options has allowed horrible profiteering but thinking competition is bad is a awful take. hell MANGADEX itself is competition to all groups since its provides a SUPERIOR reading platform (ignoring frequent purging and hostility to scanlators) thats ad free and mostly well indexed. scanlation should never be profitable but thats the travesty we live in.

 

[gonazar]

@Cmega Thanks for the TL and uploading!
I appreciate reading for free and am not going to complain.
Also appreciate you do doing your best with the product regardless of the circumstances.

I'm pretty sure Akito was swamped with work and explained that he almost dropped the TL on this, but a friend or someone else convinced him otherwise. He said so in the newer chapters he uploaded. It's not a race to see who finishes a series faster. There's an unwritten rule that TL groups usually don't encroach on each other's projects.

Competition is bad. We should cooperate. Nobody gains anything from finishing a series first. Most TL's are doing it because they like the manga and want to make it known to others (so they might encourage the author by then buying their stuff). Or to practice their skills (translating, typesetting, redrawing, etc.). Not everything NEEDS to be monetized. It's a disease of modern times. And Mangadex might be competitive with those other reading websites, but it doesn't ask for payment.

 

[BestBoy]

here's an unwritten rule that TL groups usually don't encroach on each other's projects.

Mods have said over and over that groups do not "own" series. Any kind of exclusivity bullshit was popularized at least a decade ago by for profit groups trying to hoard the most popular series.

Groups should be encouraged to continue practicing so we have more good TL groups. Not shamed out of the community for the "sin" of working on a chapter that has other groups. That's the kind of nonsense Wildfang wanted for Baki.

 

[dexdoujinmanga]

This is a complicated drama. The lack of communication and the sheer coincidence make it even more complicated. And the readers always have their own sense of justice.

 

[CrimsonNanashi]

sniping is good thing, the competition keeps things flowing and keeps groups from hording. my favorite application of it is how it can resurrect groups that go inactive or hide them behind paywalls. in this case its just nice to have an alts and since it was a paid comm they dont have to fear continued sniping. hell if i had money i would pay to free series from philla's horrible grasp even though they "are scanlating" it like Isekai Ojousama another worlds lady.

so keep doing your thing dude, people will read whatever version is best just like they did 25 years ago when 4-5 groups would do same series.

You’re a bad person

If that's the case, then it's even more of a dumb argument to consider KDT's chapter 43 upload a snipe when it was 4 months since the last RC upload.
