While I appreciate the potentially better quality raws (I haven't compared the two releases yet) just a small nitpick/note: Your chapter title of "kindred minds" is kind of awkward since that's not really a thing in English. The other group's title "kindred spirits" is actually a term and carries the same implication/meaning as what you're trying to say and what I assume the Japanese equivalent is. I don't know if you purposely chose something different from their title so it wouldn't look the same or possibly like you're just duplicating their work, but it does have the effect of making your version look less polished even though it's not.

Thanks, we've decided to change the title.

cool. Thanks for letting me know and being OK with the criticism. I've done this before and had the group members or their defenders bite my head off because "it's close enough" and "if you know better, then do it yourself" or "this is the way we chose to do it and we're not changing for anyone else".

It's nice to know that some people take feedback sensibly even when it is critical or to some degree "negative"

It's well executed, but the premise feels so convenient. The MC is a sad lonely loser whose only hobby is eating pizza and watching B-movies, and what do you know, the super popular, confident and beautiful heroine's only hobby happens to be the same thing. It's not like I have anything against pizza and B-movies, but if that's the ONLY thing you like, you should probably try to broaden your horizons. I mean, not just so you can actually meet someone (cause you ain't ever gonna get someone so convenient dropping into your lap), but also for your own sake, to grow as a person.

Huh what's wrong with liking b-movies, or any unusual hobby? Why would it be growth if you choose to do anything else? Wouldn't that apply to the heroine too?
