Drama Breakdown and Discussing Who I Will Read
Seen some comments on the Reaper Scans website about how they're lessening their workload by sniping smaller groups, such as this series. In my opinion, the race here is pretty much fine. Leviatan Scans is not a small group in any means and usually uploads between 3-5 chapters daily for about a dozen popular series and I read most of what they translate. Their work is all high quality and they started to translate this series last. However a Redditor who is an Admin on Leviatan and has been posting the discussion threads for this series (remember this for later) said when they announced this first Reaper then began to translate the series and pushed out the first chapters. u/u/Filipe1998W is also known as Retard_ on MD.
MANGADODS is definitely a smaller group that hasn't been around very long. MANGADODS has uploaded a total of 50 chapters, while Reaper has uploaded ~450. Both Reaper and DODS have their own sites and have uploaded more chapters there than here but Reaper has set chapters to upload a few hours after their own site which tells readers that they can check the group's site while DODS has not. Reaper seems to be more capable of translating the series faster as they have already done up to Chapter 20 on their site which is what the Raws are up to. However, I do believe that DODS will probably stick with the series and slow releases while Reaper Scans might stop releasing it.
I do prefer Reaper Scan's fonts and website far more as the font is more consistent yet noticeably distinct between different types of text (thoughts, spoken, narration) while MANGADODS seem to use less consistent capitalization and punctuation. Their translations are definitely different as Reaper translated something into "Twig?" and DODS interpreted it as "Wingman?". I generally enjoy the fact that there is a choice of which group's scans to read. If you would like to read up to Chapter 20 they are on Reaper Scans' site.
One thing that makes me feel uncertain which I briefly mentioned earlier is that Retard_ who is the leader of Returner's and Wowe commented on the MANGADODS page that the group machine translates and has poor quality as well as in Reddit comments. This seems to be true honestly as the editing missed some punctuation and clearly confusing translations.
Reaper Scans seems like they wanted to get in on the fad and tried to upload the first chapters ASAP, Leviatan seems content releasing 1-2 a day until Chapter 20, and MANGADODS I would not recommend reading due to quality.
If you know any other info about the situation or have any corrections just respond.
