why tho? This already has an official publisher and they're better than this translation.
??? am confusion
Azuki Manga probably bought the license off of JNC. They've been doing that a lot because JNC has overextended themselves far beyond what they're capable of handling.

To wit, JNC is behind by more than a whole volume - they have up to Volume 11, Chapter 57, while the raws on Amazon.jp are up to Volume 12 and the real-time release on Comic-Gardo is up to Chapter 66 Part 1. Contrast with LHT who are currently up to Chapter 63... yeah. Even accounting for a "better" translation, JNC is way behind the power curve, here. So it's no surprise they sold off the license to Azuki, just as they've done with a fair number of titles Azuki Manga now publishes.

ADDENDUM:
I hope that this doesn't mean LHT is going to drop the title. JNC doesn't even have the teeth right now to even send C&D notices (which is why I roll my eyes every time a scanslator drops a title just because JNC has acquired the license for it). And Azuki doesn't strike me as being particularly litigant if they're claiming to more directly support the mangaka than traditional licensing schemes do.

Yesterday, Azuki announced that they made a deal with JNC to release their translations on their website. They previously did it before with series published by Hobby Japan, and now they’re doing the same with titles published by Overlap. This includes titles like Campfire Cooking in Another World, the Faraway Paladin, and in this case Realist Hero.

I don’t know what BlackAeronaut is talking about because this is the same translation JNC used - they’re just also putting it on a different subscription service.
