any chance for future chapters you could throw a black and white filter over the images so the watermarks aren't so distracting? assuming you can't get rid of them
can't you two try to work together or something? now I know nothing about how good each of the translations are but I do know I prefer one person's redrawing over the other's... translucent boxes.
just give the chapters normal numberings already damn. like just call it Chapter 9 - EPISODE_1—7. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's slightly annoyed at having to manually track this as opposed to tachiyomi automatically doing it
