hmm, perhaps Mangadex could implement a tab on the manga's page for translator notices? for situations like you describe so that followers aren't left in the dark.
It's not that they can't handle them, they just don't want to update the less popular ones, but their dumb pride won't let others take them instead.
I'm also pretty sure they hold on to complete chapters and don't release them until interest rises again.
@MemeBear Raws go up to chapter 52, but you need an account to see beyond 46. I guess whoever was providing the raws before stopped and now we need to wait for the chapters to become free before we get them here.
@Mizumachi Edelgarde will say they didn't snipe because Tritinia left of their own accord, neglecting to mention that they threatened Tritinia somehow.
@KingRagnarok150
Both stories are good yes, but Edelgarde bullied another team off Bug Player just so they could have a more popular manhwa for themselves.
From what I've seen, there are two reasons sniping happens.
1. The sniper has improved quality
2. The sniper wants the audience the manga already has for themselves
Judging by the translation quality, I'm gonna put you guys under option 2.
