[LilBurglar]

Education maybe? Translation isn't an exact science, so it's nice to be able to compare. Both groups have been doing a pretty decent job, so it's not like with some sniping groups that only post shitty MTL. This particular chapter had a few differences in translation, but neither were "wrong".

Well the packing tape has run out, doesn't mean that the body of the tape dispenser thingy would just dissolve once there's no more tape. And the other student is asking for a spare pair of scissors, maybe these are still in use

THANK YOU!! Shit is actually annoying, me thinking "oh new chapter" just to be hit with something that was already uploaded previously



We haven't even broken past this arc atp

 

[MiguelH224]

I'm getting sick of this shit, can we stop with the reuploads and upload actual NEW chapters???

 

[AdmiralSilver]

I would recommend you don't scare this TL away.

Galaxy Scans, the original team translating this, is well known for locking away their translations behind a paywall for MONTHS, and only release them to the public when they notice someone else starts working on the same works as them.

Then when they succeed in scaring off the new TL, they go back to locking their TL's behind a paywall.

If there is 1 team worthy of being sniped with armor penetrating bullets, its Galaxy Scans.

 

[MiguelH224]

better quality

Well they can easily add (repload) next to it, or....give it the same chapter number as the original version



Doing it this way is just gonna confuse readers


Edit: Galaxy Scans is the OG translator?? Makes sense why only this one shows up and not their translation, I've had them on the ignore list for a while now

 

[brndndss]

even if that other group further ahead, ill always prefer your version facepalm.

Better to have multiple uploads in the event that, for any number of reasons, another group decides to pull their work or if it's removed. That way there isn't a gap between chapters.

Another reason is to keep GDS from doing their usual thing of uploading, "forgetting" about a project for many months at a time, only for them to dump chapters the moment another group starts translating/scanlating the same manga.

I might as well chime in with some history and context on why we're still doing this series even though we're "so far behind".

I picked it up originally because GDS had only posted chapter 1, and that had been 10 months prior. I assumed they had abandoned it. Moreover, I felt their version was lackluster, and the series is too cute to leave by the wayside, so I teamed up with Scyllae and we decided to start the series from Ch 1 for consistency.

We started working on it around the end of Nov 2023. Scyllae happened to mention it in his discord server in early Dec, and the next day GDS posted chapter 2. We released our chapter 1, and the next day GDS posted chapter 3, and then chapters 4 and 5 quickly after that.

We generally kept about a 1 month release pace, with GDS posting 2 chapters ahead within a week of us posting ours. In August 2024 we decided to make a sprint of it and released three chapters at once, outpacing GDS on chapter 11. GDS immediately proceeded to shit out the entirety of volume 3 over the next week or so, bringing them up to the current chapter. (At what quality, I don't know. I refuse to check their releases.)

Satisfied that we'd kicked the bees nest and put one of our chapters on all the aggregators, we went back to our regular pace, at least until life got in my way and I had to take about two months off. GDS, meanwhile, kept up with the web raws, and even started releasing before the free Japanese version. (Someone probably bought a subscription for early access, presumably to spite us and "protect their turf" or something juvenile like that.)

Our goal was never to beat GDS or even keep up with the web raws. We're working from the tanks, which are always several chapters behind, because we're going for better quality. If that annoys you too much and you're satisfied with GDS's dreck, feel free to block Facepalm. We're doing this because we want to; take or leave it as you please.

 

[Takuma_Aki]

at this point no ones gonna read it

Well...
I'd like to vouch that at least I, for one, stopped reading GDS for many months now because I find their translation subpar to the point it diminishes my enjoyment reading it. And Scyllazy's version is the only one I read now.

Yup, I'm 5 chapters behind you, but I'm completely ok with it, if it means I can experience it fresh at its full potential, instead of reading the subpar version first and dampen my enjoyment when I read this version later.

IDK, maybe I'm too picky, or maybe because being translator is my day job (obviously not between EN-JP), I notice how far better Scyllazy jobs are and glad they continue this series.
Until they announce they'll stop doing this, I can wait to read their version over GDS's.

Because the other group is Galaxy Degen Scans, who many people don't read or don't like to read based on their practices and wildly varying quality level.

I was always a big hater of y'all for putting out chapters from the beginning instead of just sniping new ones until I just now tried to reread the series and GDS's bullshit 1.1 and 1.2 chapter nonsense kept making me have to go out to the menu to manually select my chapter
