I think the strategy is working a little too well.

I have to say, my heart is warmed by this comment section. I read this chapter just as it was released when no comments were made, and I dreaded what might come. MTL scanlations have such a bad rep, even when they are made with the best of intentions. But it takes all kinds of people and skills to scanlate, and no one comes into it with every skill and knowledge set. After everything that happened with Sciencey Team, it’s important to encourage new people to come into the space and develop those skills.

To avoid rumours this is what happened: Sciencey was personally doxxed by a physical letter to their home address from someone that didn’t like the fact that they were translating GyaruxGyaru now that it had received an official translation. Even though the translation itself was geoblocked in every country bar the US.

Then two other incidents happened. A member of the Sciencey Team sadly passed away, and Sciencey received another far more explicitly threatening letter. It was then decided that Sciencey would step away and that all non-official translations would be immediately dropped.

In the end, the doxxer achieved nothing.

Except unleashing bad AI translations in the world.
