Shachou to Sake to Hoshi - Ch. 5 - The President And Her Place

I kinda disagree with you there a lot of manga whose translate group take their sweet time to translate "which i don't have right to say this since most of them are doing for free I think" when someone take it over from them they appear and snap if they want no one to take their place they should be fast, which i think this is what happened here but it seems it got approved way to late
And again i have no right to judge since i take whichever both groups give 😉

Not all groups can do an overnight chapter. It depends on their free time and skills. Also not every manga has equal amount of work needed. Not everyone can be "fast". You can't expect them to work on it like it's their job.

It's really a kick in the balls when someone snipes your series because you "weren't fast enough". Especially for smaller or less established groups, or individual scanlators.

In this case, and other cases where someone "wants to try themselves", it's way better if they start from the beginning. Noone would bat an eye, and they could even do it parallel with the other group(s). Doing the last chapter just feels like sniping no matter what the intention is.

To add on to it, there is (or was, I think the worst offenders got got) a bit of an epidemic recently where certain groups would snipe with horrendously bad scans in bulk and discourage people actually doing good work from uploading.

That "oh goddamn it not another one" feeling is probably hard to shake seeing double uploads.

So now in Senko-San's next chapter release it's alleged that this guy either asked that group for help or offered to help them (I'm not sure which, it seems a little unclear because it's like both things are claimed.) then turned around and made their own release.

Makes this seem even more dickish.
