I know competition gives birth to improvement, but this devmax/flame scans hysteria is just sad.
I joined flame scans discord originally, because of them picking up returner's magic should be special and with a great translation at that. They are really pleasant people to chat with and from their discord I found dungeon reset.
I originally read reaper scans, because they made by far the best translation, whereas devmax not much so. I only started reading this manhwa 1 week before this and after seeing that reaper scans left, I went to devmax, which was the only option, but by then their translation got a lot better and I'm sticking with them since then.
After all this said, I still think that one isn't worse than the other (I sometimes check the flame scans tl as well), but rather I would say it depends on personal preference. I like flame scans' more casually worded translation, but I myself like Devmax's professional styled translation better.
Still though all I want to say is that both flame scans and devmax consists of normally pleasant people and continuing such an aggressive competition between the two of them is sad for me to watch, we pirates who can't afford or just won't buy the original translation (or there isn't any translation at all in english so we have to rely on scanlation) should stick together and form an efficient, kind community, because I always feel a bit of guilt at least that I'm getting all of this for free, and I fear that once it will stop if I don't show my appreciation (so I do show).
If we're already bad guys who won't pay the original author, whatever the reason may be, we should appreciate every and all scanlation team that again is doing free labour, because they are not doing it for money, but because they like doing it, just like all manga/manhua/manhwa authors generally.
Of course these teams live on money as well so they always bring attention to financial support, especially that in this case devmax and flame scans won't even get any revenue from ads on mangadex, which in itself wouldn't be much money either.
So just please at least as a reader only, try to appreciate both scanlation teams.
