Awkward translation (as is par for the course with AI), terrible, ineligible typesetting and it's only a month after the last release.

Get real. And then out.

Why did you choose to release this? You said the last chapter was a month ago, but this series has literally been on a monthly release cycle. The usual group wasn't behind schedule, and the quality of both the translations and typesetting are nowhere near up to par. I had to double-check the uploader as I didn't recall this series ever being nearly this incoherent.

I have nothing else to say about this hellfire i created after all this was only done with 12 am motivation, i am gonna do chapter 25 just so i can read it for myself, also i had to edit it today since some pages are missing, i regret nothing
Look man, if you want to translate manga using AI tools then go on, all the power to you. But please, for the sake of other people here don't bother upload your "work" here. At the very least you could do touch up like typesetting and proofreading, don't just straight up upload whatever slop the AI regurgitated.

So, out of hundreds/thousands of manga with no tls for months (or even years) or no tl whatsoever, you decide to do a manga with a dedicated group with a consistent release schedule and you do an absolutely fucking terrible job at it? Shit, even saying you did a terrible job is wrong because there is zero human involvement here. This is just utter garbage AI job. Fuck outta here with this shit.

Well congratulations. Now every person who doesn't read the series here but on aggregator sites, or doesn't bother checking the credit page/uploder, will have to wonder why this chapter is so much worse than the rest. Because, most of the time, those sites don't care about who did the chapter, they upload the first available version and they're done. Good job being bad at what you did and being proud.
Seriously, you could've translated it for yourself, or do any manga that doesn't have an active group translating.

Well they do now, I remember a clause in the site rules about not allowing automated translations, but I don't see it there anyomre
They literally do not.
I have talked to a mod less than a month ago to get multiple AI chapters removed and they were promptly removed.

Mangadex allows AI translations if they were manually typesetted and edited.
They do not allow fully automated Manga translations because that would just result in spam. (as a matter of fact, the user I reported a few weeks ago was posting multiple AI chapters a day, all of this exact same quality, and then they made different accounts and groups to evade the first ban)

This chapter will be removed eventually and the user will get their upload permissions restricted.

Do you have a link to the site rule where it says so? Because that's literally what "literally" means.

I'm not refuting you and happy if that is the case but rule 3.3 explicitly said
"Do not report any releases for any translation or visual quality issues. These reports will be ignored and your ability to make reports may be restricted."

I believe AI slop translation falls under this category and this rule discouraged me to report this chapter.

Edit: AI translation is a spectrum from absolute garbage to acceptable. I think a translation this bad is where the mods consideration play the part because it is close to a troll translation at this point lol.

I appreciate the attempt to translate something and I don't really care about sniping like that, but the quality of this was so low that I didn't even bother reading it. There's dialogue that's outside of word bubbles and clearly off the page, just missing parts of sentences. It's so distracting that it makes it unreadable for me, so I don't personally get trying to do it like this.

I was simply told by mods that this type of upload (as in, fully automated AI chapters, not simply AI-based translations) is not allowed, and sure enough they have removed every single report of this type I've sent them. I'm just relaying the info here. Ask the mods if you don't believe me. If they didn't add this to the rules that's a separate issue.

FYI - If you're capped on the # of groups you can block, you can directly block the uploader instead.
