Translator: You're bad cause you complain about free stuff.
Reader: No, you're bad for hitting everyone cause of a vocal minority.
Me: You're both idiots.

Pretty much this. Although to be fair he WAS being slow, he was like months behind. I personally didn't care enough to complain, but some people did i guess. While the slowness isn't bad or "wrong" in itself, sometimes it can be a problem for a popular series because most scanlators try to avoid "sniping" series that other people are doing, so you kind of hold a series hostage when you do that. But longer delays every once in awhile isn't bad, of course IRL stuff can happen to you causing delays. But when you hold a series hostage, and now you delete everything on top of that for a few "very mild" comments complaining about your slowness (which was true), it makes you an asshole and a baby on top of that.

In my job in the real world I work with alot of clients, once in a while there will always be complaints of slowness or lack of quality or blahblahblah, and the comments you can get IRL can be much worse and more personal than the "very mild" comments from that chapter. And sometimes when I get complaints about slowness or lack of quality I agree with the clients, but for one reason or another it is how it is. Either I'm sick and being slow, or I lack certain tools to make the job easier/faster, or lack of budget to make the job higher quality, but there have been some occasions when I understood the client's frustration. But you can't let it affect you mentally in that way, you just do the best you can and move on. As long as you do the best you can, you can never go wrong, it's important to think like this so certain negative comments don't affect you.

I was one the commentators that complained and realized that I fucked up and wasn’t giving the translator enough credit and look where it got us. Even though I complained about the slow release I never intended on making feel him/her feel bad. If I ever do the translator I’m gonna apologize and even if it doesn’t work he still should be credited.
That's great! How much faster do you think Rinko will upload now?

Some people just simply don't have the patient and complained so the translator deciced to get the chapters off the site I think
I understand being mad at people for being impatient. But taking off the chapters you’ve already translated is petty af too. Not only did you waste your time, you screwed over a bunch of people that appreciated you translating for them. What is the point of that? If you wanna stop translating, that’s fine. But why do you have to nuke all the other chapters?

I think we can stop trying to play nice, since he isn't replying. Any good translators who wants to take up this series?

Maybe Flame Comics can pick this back up, if they were translating it until chapter 16?

dang, here I was trying to re-read :qq:

oh well, stuff happens I guess. I don't even think I have anything worth saying outside of the fact that I also would appreciate having English translations of this series.. not going to blame anyone since I lack direct context

Maybe try looking online to see which manga readers have those chapters.

fair enough, I know that other aggregators often just upload things in a dump-and-forget manner and that's also why they often don't have updated scanlation fixes... I guess that's an option. still, rip on having to change translators, if someone even decides to pick it up and all

People were really complaining about the speed of a free product that as far as I know the TL wasn't profiting from >_> What the tl did was petty af but some people really need their internet revoked. Just go learn japansese yourself if you're not content with the speed of content you're getting FOR FREE.

I doubt anyone is going to be able to complain as long as you credit it, and I for one would really appreciate it
