Sekai Saikyou no Majo, Hajimemashita ~Watashi Dake "Kouryaku Saito" wo Miseru Sekai de Jiyuu ni Ikimasu~ - Ch. 53

So this translator snipes a series, slaps his patreon and paywalls it. How nice.

I hope this doesn't discourage the other teanslator

Her voice hasn't been implemented? Who made this game, Bandai Namco?🥀

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Pretty sure Silas is Comicdom, so they only work on stuff that actively gets them money. Once the money stops they drop it and hop on the next popular series, and repeat.

The main thing here is that the Patreon paywall is going to get them and all their alt accounts banned permanently from MD, due to Site Terms of Service #5.2.22

Pretty sure I sure don't know who's that. Pls let me know who is comicdom?

Edit: I see... I've been here for 3 years btw. I never encountered that shit. I just made the patreon post for this week and now you're assuming that it's me? Tf.

@SilasMeanQuite If your productivity goes up and stays up, then I think people will be more willing to support you. For at least a year now you've been slowing down while also dropping projects that you were doing solo before you got a team, so people are understandably leery; it's in part why I haven't donated in a while. Especially since you're going the route of locking off latest chapters on Patreon with that hanging over you already.

Will do, I've been planning to work on it, due to irl stuff it was up and down

Have you been reading? 💀

Oh god they're gonna text to speech her with AI voices.

I'm thinking a soundboard. "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

I don't think they're Comicdom; their translations and redrawing are usually pretty decent whereas Comicdom was clearly churning out stuff as fast as MTL could spit it out.

That being said, you are correct that Silas largely only works on a series when he's being paid. Occasionally he's stuck with a series he's enjoyed (usually to catch up with the raws) but once the commission is complete and people stop donating he moves on to the next series.

There's nothing wrong with being a scanlator for hire per se, though it does make it hard to want to support them on any kind of recurring basis when you never know if a series is going to get dropped suddenly or not.

The paywalling is going to be a problem though; no arguments there.

They absolutely are, check their save and load translation. Shitty MTL with close to no redrawing or cleaning or anything.

The number of people reading this who don't realize Silas had been the translator from the start is wild.

But yeah, do be careful about how you bring up your Patreon. Asmodeus Scans got nuked from the site because they'd been advertising paywall-gated chapters.

I don't know what it is about Thera's design that makes her feel meaty despite being flat, but I like it

This is like Seia before she gets her voice back then. (Ref: Blue Archive)

Silas has always been the translator for this series.

I personally used to support him, but like said upthread, he got really inconsistent about maintaining it so I chose to drop support at that time.

I hope he demonstrates continued commitment to it and id probably be willing to continue support if he does.

Nope, I've known Silas for I think nearly three years now or so? Since shortly after he began. He's done plenty of projects without getting any money for them, even picking up new ones on his own and continuing them for months and months because no one was doing them. He's no ComicDom, who comes in, does a few chapters, and then fucks off if he doesn't get any funding.

As for the Patreon, I've warned others about that before, but people have been doing that for ages and not gotten pinged for it, and he has only been treating it as a small buffer you can pay to get advanced access to, bringing them to MD a week later, which falls within the acceptable delay release category, I'm pretty sure.

Yup, just someone else was posting them for him for awhile there, probably because he was getting married, IIRC?

Then is he using MTL? Because comparing some of the older translations and the newest ones, it feels like the quality went up due to the abilities of AI being better, could be a coincidence

I think he might be and then editing further? I couldn't say for sure, because I remember we asked him and had that conversation before in the comments but it was years ago when he first started, and I haven't ever asked since; I don't have a problem with edited MTL, either way. I think he also might have been using a different language version (so original translated to that version first then translated to English) for some of the series he was doing back then? Or I could be misremembering and that was someone else. Either way, I do clearly remember that his English skills improved over time, and there was a period where we actively watched him get better chapter by chapter, so it wasn't just "AI translate then post in text bubbles" like it feels you're thinking of.

Lol them casually walking past the boss

Another "evil" goddess lol I like her design maybe one day the author rly will get to design game chara if they haven't already

Hmm i vaguely remember a Korean webtoon series where copy paste was a power too

 

[XTwist]

Does this mean EVERYONE Rona has met in life already has a voiceover?
