I don't see the point in continuing this scan. I thought the point was to have a faster release schedule than GDS, but you guys have released the same amount of chapters as GDS has in the past 5 months, and rather than new releases, it's just scans that have already been completed. I have a lot of problems with GDS, but the one thing they are decent at is translation quality, so if you aren't releasing any faster, and your quality isn't any better, why waste time and resources on this title? Find one that's either been dropped, or something that people would like to read that doesn't have a translation.
The point was to take a serie that we liked and that seemed to have been abandoned, it was never about speed. We tried to set a constant release schedule, but life got in the way often, now apart from releasing in friday ( if we don't mess up, my "group" isn't called Scyllazy for no reason after all ) we do a chapter of one series every 2 weeks until we catch up to Official release ( when we manage to, which has been not happening often lately ).

If you find both translation to be of same quality, it's a bit insulting :< ( the main issue i have with GDS, is how they nuke some sfx and text, i find that quite disrespectful to the work they use to make money )

We are working on a series nobody else is on, called "Shiotaiou no Sato-san" and we were working on "Oshikake Gal no Nakamura-san" until it got an Official english translation.

I wouldn't call GDS work 'decent' though. Passable, maybe. You roughly get what's going on, but I don't find it that enjoyable when translation is in that rough of a state. Lately I've been holding off on reading their scanlation since it gives me headache sometimes so I can enjoy it fresh and fully with better translation and I have been doing this with a few other series too.

But 8 months and still 5 chapters behind is admittedly really something and I can't tell everyone to do what I do at all. I can only do it with this series since I don't care that much about it that I have to read it the first day of release; I can't say I can do this with other series I care more about either. The other series was only a few weeks and 1-2 chapters behind :worry:
