j-club is shit at localization i am talking about people who translated DP to DOLLAR POINTS instead of DUNGEON POINTS. IN A DUNGEON MANAGEMENT MANGA. and i utterly despise it when translators drop a series just because it has been licensed because more than half the time the official translation lacks ANY of the care for preserving the spirit of the authors intent. it's just a cold literal translation with no love or soul put into it. if fan translations exist to indroduce people to titles then the offical version needs to in my opinion at bare minimum give an as good or better quality of translation. as it is like i said often the offical licensed version ends up being worse quality than the fan translations why would i want to read a lower quality translation.

There is a manga site that uploads official translated manga. You can read official translated manga that you considered shit for free. But the official Death's Daughter is only up to volume 3 (or 4?), so you'll have to wait, patiently.

Death's Daughter
Purple checkmark in the chapter list means the official version

why would i want to read garbage translations period. Deaths Daughter died when J-novel liscensed it and the fan translator decided to call it quits. this is why i despise manga and novels getting licensed. official translators don't seem to care about the spirit of the work nor preserving it. if they do its very rare

They only post links to the first chapter of each volume.

unless someone picks this up, i guess we're just never reading this in here.
unfortunately not even other aggregators have anything past chapter 45, as nobody is translating it anymore.

Uploaded Chapter 45, it's in checking now as this is my First attempt at TL, should be up in a day or two!
I'll try to prepare a few more chapters while that's being done, my goal is to upload one every 1-2 days until we catch up to the raws.

why aren't you using centre align?

I mean yeah this might be your first attempt but you should follow some rules.

If you would like I can help you setup a workflow and programs for Typesetting?

Well, as this is literally my first attempt at anything, any advice would of course be appreciated.
Are you in the MD Discord? If so that may be easier than on here.

Thank you, man. I'd rather read some rough translations than pay for access tbh.

Call me entitled but I grew up playing pirated PS2 games and Gameboy emulators. I'd steal a car if it was free.

you can grow up consuming pirate content and still support the creators directly. In this case, buying straight from the Japanese sources. Could spend a bit of time studying Japanese as well if your entertainment culture revolves around it a lot. Mine are therefore it just makes sense I am, plus knowing another language is pretty neat.

Your reaction brought my attention back to this thread, if you’re wondering :nyoron:

I recommend all new typesetters to the same guide to learn the basics first https://mangadex.org/title/08e1f85a-bb12-4fe4-aec5-0d7a80b3a261/anonblack-s-typesetting-guide

If you can follow most of the advices here, you’re already decent enough in lettering. This is what I used to learn when I signed up to join a scanlation group eons ago.
