@ the latest chapter - really, a "war" between two, about translating and holding off.
...yet in the responses of both - both aren't using proper english..and one of them has the nerve to say, "it's the readers that get hurt.
Now, granted, KS and Darling bs aside - the latest was better than some..horrible, illegible ones ..but still there's a few mistakes there (not pointing them out) and, some pretty basic mistakes in THE ARGUMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
If you're gonna argue, ANY point - make sure you have some ground to stand on. ESPECIALLY when it's about translations..make sure it's a *#%^ good one, with NO mistakes, let alone in an argument, about saying the other guys are being pricks about it.
At this point the "holding off" for others, when the translations are poor, the series is losing credit (mostly due to poor translations or this sort of petty argument ...that most..don't care about).
Translate it properly, to leave NOTHING to question - (and this goes for ANY series) then, and only then will you MAYBE have a leg to stand on.
But as it stands, another one complaining, that they CHOSE to spend out of pocket, and still did a bad (not horrible..seen worse..) translation - and wants to "rally the troops".
These sort of arguments amount to, "Yano, when i cornered you, and took all your money while you just wanted something to make you happy. And spit on you, kicked you, and stopped you from enjoying it and all the hard work put into it. WELL GUESS WHAT I NEED YOUR HELP!"
Mangadex may have rules, and for a decent reason - however - at this point, and years of reading manga on sites like this.
(My new favorite line i came up with a few months ago on a joke site) - all the laxatives in the world couldn't make me give a shit.
The stories are getting worse, the people "translating" are leaving out words that can, at times, change the meaning - "proofreading" and yet..when it's referring to a chick with GIANT BOOBS - it's a dude...apparently.
It's getting annoying. A good story, should be shared, with everyone - period. Not be pissed on like it's a tree and barked at everyone that it's "your territory" when - all you've done.. is piss on it, and did nothing to make it better. Enough with the chihuahua crap. Do a good job, and maybe, JUST maybe, there'd be support.
But i haven't seen any worth support, let alone paying a penny for in 6 years +
Your war is your problem, translate it or dont - but while you two are yapping, and again - don't have basic english down and have some clear simple mistakes...neither of you deserve support, let alone a penny for a "translation".
This is a little better then most of the horrible illegible ones - but still - it's NOT properly translated, nor finished. After all, if it's done right..
There will be NO mistakes in the english (if it's a poor story that's another story), and no question to what the heck is going on, in the story, let alone your little ad that "it's for the reader". NOT ONE group in more then 6 years, has done it "for the reader". It's for the money, and on that note - not for love of the source material (original manga), it's for a profit, and to slap the face of those who love it.
Grow up, and do it right, or don't do it at all, period. Can't keep up with it, and it's a good story, move out of the way so others can have fun, don't hog it.
That simple - And keep your, "i'm a hobo, and need 20 dollars, Thanks for the 20, but spare some change...o cool 40, spare some more?" while you add, NOTHING.
Shame this won't reach them, and neither of them will learn proper english and fix the bad translations in the first place, and - for the record - this isn't the only one KS hasn't done right. I'll leave it at that.
Story itself is decent, generic, and the anime (halfway through the dub) is..lacking for the protag as a voice actor. Not great, not bad, a "if there's nothing else on" story, after all it's predictable. There's not even nipples or naughty stuff in the manga to make it decent or entertaining. Cut and dry, "convenient steam cloud" annoying censorship, and missing/poor english - but in a rare case - not enough to ruin the story..however - when they complain at the start like they're doing someone a favor.. then they need to have it perfect. And, it's not.
