@StarixCrown I'm one of the two leaders of Meraki Scans. This is one of the times where I can't really blame you for being pissed off. It's one of those where I agree with what's said but fuck you for saying it basically. I'd like to clarify one thing, and that's basically, we don't accept commission, so it's definitely not money related. We currently have Senryu Girl translated until chapter 66, and for a while too. But I'm personally not interested in editing it and I have enough of my projects on my plate. We are redrawing it fully, sound effects and all, which is causing those 8 pages to be more time consuming than Goodbye Isekai Tensei of 40 pages for reference.
To understand how we got ourselves in this situation, you'd first need to understand how Meraki Scans works. We have a lot of translators, but, only 2 active editors (Celes and I). We started releasing Senryu actively again after coming back from 5 months break (during that time only 1 chapter was released, and people were aware that we disbanded but nobody resumed), a redrawer came along, offered her help, she did few chapters, we were happy with her speed and quality, and I finally got free time to pick up what I actually like and enjoy. Then soon after I did, she ended up quitting without a word. Which is not really something uncommon, it happens more than you'd think, which is why we simply hate to rely on editors. But, that left us in a position where I had my hands filled, Celes likewise. I argued we lower the quality on Senryu, stop redrawing sound effects to make it faster, Mitach (dedicated typesetter for Senryu) didn't like the idea, due to the effort put in thus far, and after a while, he managed to find a new redrawer. And here we are. Finally back to some sort of schedule after a few weeks of not releasing.
Now, Ruggia, the translator for this series is a freelance translator, who offers his help to any group willing to edit what he is translating. Meaning, if there is somebody who can dedicate more time to this series than us, we would be happy to put the two of them in touch and it would clear some stress of our backs. I'm personally not invested into this series whatsoever and I only worked on few chapters. Celes is far more invested than I, but she likewise understands that we are not delivering this on optimal pace and if the situation was different, we would have likely announced that we are dropping it, not necessarily so that somebody else might pick it up, but plainly to avoid situations such as this. In either case, we are open to any skilled and fast editors and most importantly reliable, that are willing to help us with Senryu, or even groups that are well established (so that we can be sure that the series wont be in the same boat) that have more time to focus on this series.
All of this said, at the end of the day, I'm of your opinion, which is why I worked my ass off to push Meraki to become what it is. A group releasing multiple series daily. This is one series that we do, that I personally wouldn't mind if it gets sniped because I as a fan would do the same given the power to change the state of the series I follow and like. And this is where you fall short, but I'm sure somebody is as pissed off as you are, who will be a man of action rather than words.
