Henkyou Mob Kizoku no Uchi ni Totsuidekita Akuyaku Reijou ga, Mechakucha Dekiru Yoi Yome Nanda ga? - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Duke's Daughter Came to Marry…

[auriga]

The retranslation is very much appreciated, thanks!

 

[glad-barfs]

Based. Thanks for TL.

You should delete the old page while you're at it.

I'll just go ahead and do that, lol. And also add the discord server link to the group page.

Anybody know where to read the novel or is it untranslated at this point?

Fan translations have covered the entire web novel - spanning 122 chapters - to date. You can find those if you look on NovelUpdates. The raw web novel hasn't been updated since June 2024 though; the author seems to be focusing on the LN. Volume 3 of the LN is releasing tomorrow, so it hasn't been axed yet, in any case.

The light novel doesn't have any official translations as of now, but hopefully it's picked up at some point (though we might have to wait a bit for that).

 

[Galder]

this is such a dumbass take, again there's no reason to be angry, you're not paying them doofus and this is an improved quality from the previous.
there's no need to ask, the other group is quite literally free to keep working on the thing if they want to, both groups can exist at the same time and you can just shut up like a good freeloader, no one gives a fuck about what you think and what unspoken rules exist that for whatever reason readers have come up with or other scanlators, the only rules that matter are ones enforced by the site. it is the prerogative of the scanlators and not their responsibility as scanlators to talk to each other only IF the site has a rule that says so.
if there's no such rule they can literally do anything within the terms of service of mangadex

and your take isn't retarded af? you have literally nothing to say and have to resort to this pathetic freeloader bullshit that has nothing whatsoever to do with anything i said. especially when i told the other guy already that i don't give a fuck about what else the second group scanlates - or not.
all i said is to be nice and communicate with the first scanlator and work together and to not be a dick just cause the site rules are lax. it's not that complicated.
and YES, it's EXACTLY because dickweeds like you, who support and even defend this bullshit, exist, that nobody gives a fuck about any etiquette in the scanlator scene anymore and that's also why we had this mass exodus of big scanlation groups in the first few weeks and months of mangadex's existence.

 

[CapnAndy]

Yeah, this translation is way better.

 

[Quonk]

No offense to the other group, but this tl is way better imo.

Keep up the good work and ignore all this buzz and whining about "hurr durr sniping hurr dur muh etiquette"

 

[nidaime]

All you guys complaining are right. Grab your receipts and go get refunds for the scanlation of this chapter. You deserve your money back for it.

 

[Yokubou]

Not complaining, but is there a way to set up the upload notifications in mangadex to not include reuploads?

 

[DeOneChester]

Not complaining, but is there a way to set up the upload notifications in mangadex to not include reuploads?

Pretty much the only way I know is by blocking the group you don't wanna see. You can still find them via index so it's not too bad

 

[ArcLife]

Another for my block list no offense but don't like my feed getting cluttered by re upload of chapters that are decently done

 

[larcek]

while i see nothing wrong with parallel releases, since at times, some groups are doing less than readable releases, this one seems an odd choice. then again, it's the first chapter, so maybe the group worked on it before but never released it and still wanted to share it.

as a pure reader myself i'm always glad to see a series worked on so i appreciate the effort, but i'd also love to see another series (or your choice obviously) being picked up which is currently lacking active translation.

 

[Gudachiz]

and your take isn't retarded af? you have literally nothing to say and have to resort to this pathetic freeloader bullshit that has nothing whatsoever to do with anything i said.

you got offended over that? you are reading for free doofus and yes my take isn't as retarded as yours
this actually makes sense, people fucking agree with me too

especially when i told the other guy already that i don't give a fuck about what else the second group scanlates - or not.
all i said is to be nice and communicate with the first scanlator and work together and to not be a dick just cause the site rules are lax. it's not that complicated.

this isn't even sniping bro, chill out, it isn't complicated either, the person operated in the grounds of the TOS, your opinions mean shit if the thing was done in the grounds of the tos, whether they asked for permission or not is irrelevant since neither are the official translators to begin with, you are quite literally free to do this because there's no official english publisher yet

and YES, it's EXACTLY because dickweeds like you, who support and even defend this bullshit, exist, that nobody gives a fuck about any etiquette

what's not to defend? the quality is objectively better than the last one we are literally winning by having someone scanlate this PROPERLY, etiquette? got a problem with it propose it to the site, you're malding over something TINY. When you're reading FOR FREE

in the scanlator scene anymore and that's also why we had this mass exodus of big scanlation groups in the first few weeks and months of mangadex's existence.

the big scanlator groups still exist even with the exodus, idk what you're smoking
also if you don't wanna read it, block the group, no one's stopping you. we'll happily read this and enjoy releases from the person uploading

 

[Gudachiz]

to the angry people who think the time scanlating this would've been better translating other manga
make a scanlator group, there are guides in mangadex to properly scanlate manga and there's the scanlator school discord server, instead of whining about people you couldn't convince otherwise, why not try scanlating, more productive
win win
or join any scanlator group and apply there

if you have time to complain about other groups that literally do this for free, you have time to scanlate.
be the change you wanna see, scanlate a manga well, add a note that says "if you think we didn't do this well, message us and let's work together"
instead of complaining about other groups that are actually doing good scanlating a thing

It (scanalation) was the wild west back at the start, it was the wild west in 2006, it was the wild west when mangaplus came into existence, it was the wild west last week. It's the wild west right now, anyone has always been able to scanalate anything they want and always will be able too. There is no ettiquette and really never will be. Mangadex can enforce a ToS but the second you leave this site it'll be the wild west.

Even if someone decided to drop chapters on every active series on the site it wouldn't mean anything unless they're breaking rules on the site. Once you go to aggregators and check the comments there no one would care, they'd just be reading the chapters. You're overlaying something that doesn't exist on top of the actions here.

Also stop getting so wound up.

The "sniping" culture is amusing to me. There's so much benefits when people compete for each other, but people make it a bad thing.

Here's a few of what I've seen that are the results of the sniping culture:

• Scanlators holding chapters hostage behind paywall for a long time, until someone snipes them then they suddenly release it immediately.
• Series with horrible MTL translations that nobody bothers to retranslate because they'll get shit on by a bunch of "oh noes my notifications?!?!?!?!" type of brats.
• Series with incredible fast chapter updates because there are multiple groups competing on who gets to translate it first.
• Multiple scanlators means their quality gets compared to each other, and it leads to better translations and quality.
• People throwing a fit about their notifications, like their precious 5 seconds of their time gets wasted. So they spent the next few hours complaining in the comments instead of moving on with their lives.

I say snipe away! Heck, this release doesn't even count as a snipe in the first place.

There are a ton of series that I wish would get retranslated because of bad MTL, grammar, or other reasons. This is a step in the right direction.

 

[ColorNoob]

Lol

Where do i need to go for my refund

Since you like complaining, I'll give you an offer, we're recruiting for our group since our head is back

Put your time wasted whining about a group to good use and let me have your skills, help us release manga that haven't been translated yet, we're recruiting

If you can't understand nihongo that's perfectly fine, you can help us by redrawing and cleaning there are TONS of chapters we have yet to clean to catch up and we have quality control.


Up for it? I'm 100% serious btw. Reply or drop me a dm. Same with the rest of the people complaining.

 

[mysteana]

I find it amusing that anyone would think that if multiple groups are working on the same title that another title out there in the vast wilderness won't get scanlated as a result. Scanlation is a passion project, unless someone slaps down a pile of cash on a commission.

Back when I was dabbling in the scene twenty years ago the only reason why multiple groups wouldn't be working on a non-mainstream title was because they were importing and debinding the tankobons themselves to then scan each individual page. At that point, that group is totally invested in doing shit right and if you don't need to debind or crack the spines of your own tankobons, then you didn't.

The weekly SJ stuff had raws being dumped into IRC or LimeWire whether it was a shitty scan direct from the weekly phonebook or someone taking photos of the pages in a Lawsons and that's where you had the different groups settling on their niches. There were groups who did quick and dirty scanlations, barely cleaning the raws enough to make out the panels but you know, some people wanted to read the latest chapter now. Other groups waited for the better scanned raws to then properly clean up and redraw to the point you didn't even realise that the raw had bleedthrough of the other side of the page. Often what resulted is that people would read the QnD slop then pick up the better quality stuff to archive. Which actually had analogues to the fansubbing side of things where some group did barely passable subs but were out an hour or two after the airing, while other more reputable groups got their nicely TL'd, edited, typesetted and well encoded releases half a day to a day later.
