Criticize me all you want..

Only looking at the first few pages, but your page order seems to be out of whack, going:
2 -> 6 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5.
Also, a few a TL issues like "I really hate myself" instead of "She hates me?", added dialogue bubbles not in the raw, wrong characters speaking the wrong lines, and missing sfx.

Not criticism of YOU, just pointing out a few things you might want to revise.

I seriously hope you keep at it.
Also, awkwardly, MangaUp! just released an official English version of this within the last 7 days that's complete through like chapter 30. You can refer to that for specific pointers, I guess.
... sorry.

the correct method of using LLMs to translate is:
  • having one doing the translation
  • having one doing QA
  • the QA has saved to memory the specifications of the characters (their names, their ages, their relationships, etc)
  • feed to the TL memory directives from the QA
  • it should take 2 maybe 3 back and forth between TL and QA to get a real translation

I'd love to hear more feedback, since I just joined MangaDex not even a MONTH AGO, might as well sidetrack and develop this skill of translating.

Please point-out issues whether regarding quality image, translation accuracy, etc and methods of how can I improve and deliver better TL to you.

Um. Well, for starters, you might want to rephrase "criticize me all you want.." into something like "I'm new and trying to improve, so I'd appreciate any tips or feedback, and please let me know if you find any issues in my work!" The first one you went with implies "Criticize me all you want, but I won't listen." It comes off as kind of aggressive, and you can see that reflected in the :slap::questionblob: reactions.

I think you'd benefit from running your script through something that has spellcheck. Spreadsheet software is pretty good for ease of copy/paste and keeping each bubble or item as a distinct row of cells, but I think a lot of people don't know that you can make any of them spellcheck via a menu command.

Maybe go find a group that needs help on a project and learn more best practices type stuff by working with others? I know I kinda hit you with a serious list five minutes after you posted, but really, I think with some polish and proofreader, you could be better at this than average?

Other than that, go here or download the app on an ios/android device and compare your version with the official one. It's free. And vault pass is only five bucks a month for unlimited access to their whole back catalog, which is pretty generous if you're actually using it. Supports creators and professional localizers (though would it kill squenix to credit their work?) Just saying. Anyway, I'm not your mom; I'll stop nagging.

I apologize for my phrases, it is just to portray a sense of comedic and aggressive tone as like talking someone as familiar. Creates a calmer environment.

I deemed you're well-structured feedback to open into more opportunities to improve the quality of my scans, and I appreciate for the response!

I don't want to ruin the party, but isn't this manga already officially translated?

This manga has NO brakes. Pacing? Who tf needs pacing?

This manga just gets more batshit insane the more you read. It's like a car careening downhill with no brakes. Emphasis on 'downhill'.
