    We done up to ch 13 of Isekai Metara, but the Proofreader seems to be inactive ever since finishing chapter 8, now gotta wait til the group leader do something.

    How many pages in a manga chapter is appropriate for you?

    I'm a translator and one of the longest I remember is 26 (Hell Mode) and the shortest 11 (Ghoul ga Sekai)

    I'd say 16.

    It depends. But 20-30 are good, i must motivate myself to read longer chapters or oneshots. I prefer to read mangas with 30/35+ pages chapters in a big reading burst, rather than chapter per chapter every week/month. Since they generally have a monthly publication schedule, it's the way to do it, anyway. 4/10 pages chapters are nice when you're bored and to motivated to read longer chapters.

    I wanna draw a manga but can't decide on one of the two novel I wrote

    Would y'all like more of a LitRPG or a medieval fantasy?

    Yeah no

    I hate world building with game mechanic. The plot usually meh about "cheating the system" and being OP without deserving it

    Medieval fantasy all the way bro

    My typesetter have fucked up so many times now that I'm so disappointed. God damn it, fuck. Am I in the wrong if it's multiple times?

    ^The image above is how they did it, but the way I numbered it out and hand it to them was 1 > 4 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 6. Now the important page need fixing

    According to someone on discord, I was wrong, apologies

    Japanese manga made a real life reference.
    Guess what, it's translated differently in Japan, so you now gotta look it up in Japanese wiki and compare it with English wiki.

    Praying Mantis (heavy metal band) have their debut album in 1981 called Time Tells No Lies
    But in Japanese, it said 戦慄のマンティス, which is the Japanese exclusive name translating to Mantis of Terror.

    I freaking hate translating Hell Mode when the chapter's a wall of text about weird skill name, how do you translate this skill? Unstopping Strikes?

    That seems like the kanji for Explosion, and then followed by strike, so... Exploding Strike? Bombing?
    Luoir
    Luoir
    By the context of it being a Berserker character, I'd assume it means he'd attack that thing nonstoppingly, bombarding

    But a few pages down it shows he using that skill so thank god it won't be necessary for hours of research, I finished translating this chapter, I'm going to sleep, fuck this.

    Can I draw my own manga and have it published on Mangadex?

    i once emailed them an embarrassing email and now I don't want to look at them in the eyes.

    Senukin, the creator of Brainrot Girlfriend, drew their own manga and publish it here. If they can do it, so can you.
    There's also the "self-published' tag on MangaDex.

    Oh yeah I know that guy, me and him go way back, both Vietnamese.

    Yeah... I think I can yolo, wish me luck bois

    Someone called out a Vietnamese trans site for sniping multiple stories for their gains, and guess how the community react? Bashing the one that's calling it out because "There's no rule protecting the sniped group, the sniper can do whatever they wish."

    Original post: This site has been sniping multiple rising story!
    The comments:
    "Who the fuck says they can't"
    "This society is very pragmatic, bro. You are probably still a student and have not yet been exposed to the real life."
    "I only care if there's something to read."

    Works great until one of the plagiarized authors slaps someone with a copyright cease-and-desist. Then it gets weird.

    I spent the better of my 3AM deciding if I should put down 一角獣 as "Unicorn"

    so what did you put in the end? one horned beast?
    Luoir

    TL note: 一角獸 (ikkakujū) can be translated roughly to one-horned beast/animal, but in reality it’s a word for unicorn. After extensive research at 3AM and philosophical consideration from the translator, he decided to put down Unicorn

    No seriously I was translating that chapter at 3 AM lol, took way too long of a research and thinking
