Best part is that first chapter from xKs wasn't 'remade'. Neither the three before, ones that were done after almost a half of year break.they're late, not even up to date, and sniping a project that someone's been working really hard on by themselves (and doing exceedingly well at) by a group who hasn't even touched this manga before
True they should fuck offthey're late, not even up to date, and sniping a project that someone's been working really hard on by themselves (and doing exceedingly well at) by a group who hasn't even touched this manga before, just leave this one be fellas
seems like some people don’t read at other ‘web’ platform huhBest part is that first chapter from xKs wasn't 'remade'. Neither the three before, ones that were done after almost a half of year break.
If you jump in, why from 105 specifically?
So....
What's the point of those uploads?
A) Having back up translations is good incase a group removes their workthey're late, not even up to date, and sniping a project that someone's been working really hard on by themselves (and doing exceedingly well at) by a group who hasn't even touched this manga before, just leave this one be fellas
i don't mean to offend anybody but there's plenty of good GL out there that have never been translated before or abandonned years agoA) Having back up translations is good incase a group removes their work
B) It made them happy
C) Scanlation groups owe us nothing, be thankful for what they give us for free
well yes there are alot of them, but in this case it's because of the uploading work between this platform and other platform (which the most well known place to read GL manga), which is the newest scanlator after Cyan doesn't upload their work at that other platform, so Cutie had to do it on both platforms. this just based on my observation since i read on both platforms and usually read the forum tooi don't mean to offend anybody but there's plenty of good GL out there that have never been translated before or abandonned years ago
idk i mainly use mangadex because for me it's by far the best to discover new manga that i have never heard of (and basically the best on everything i can think of)well yes there are alot of them, but in this case it's because of the uploading work between this platform and other platform (which the most well known place to read GL manga), which is the newest scanlator after Cyan doesn't upload their work at that other platform, so Cutie had to do it on both platforms. this just based on my observation since i read on both platforms and usually read the forum too
You keep on saying "other platform", but never naming it.well yes there are alot of them, but in this case it's because of the uploading work between this platform and other platform (which the most well known place to read GL manga), which is the newest scanlator after Cyan doesn't upload their work at that other platform, so Cutie had to do it on both platforms. this just based on my observation since i read on both platforms and usually read the forum too

understandable since i also mainly use mangadex because it's easy to arrange my fav manga. but if it's for GL manga only site with dedicated forum, there's one and that one is what i've mentioned as "other platform"idk i mainly use mangadex because for me it's by far the best to discover new manga that i have never heard of (and basically the best on everything i can think of)
first of all, sorry if my grammar is bad, english isn't my mother language.You keep on saying "other platform", but never naming it.
Also the grammar is kinda wonky so not sure if I got you right... Do you mean that this TL continued from an old translators last chapter, because current translator is uploading only to MD (or at least not to whichever site you reference) so this TL wasn't aware and accidentally translated 10 duplicate chapters? And then noticed but decided to upload anyway because "why not" +
It's in especially poor taste when looking at the rest of the situation.they're late, not even up to date, and sniping a project that someone's been working really hard on by themselves (and doing exceedingly well at) by a group who hasn't even touched this manga before, just leave this one be fellas
i'm not trying to defend the new scanlator nor the other site. but did all of them even say that like xKs's work is bad? i only remember if someone questioning their tl's quality at first (and ofc it'd happen to anyone with first time picking a manga tl project), then as the time has passed, people there started to discuss the next chapters that has been tl-ed by xKs as if it's just like usual talking on forum (even though the chapter on that site still haven't caught up).It's in especially poor taste when looking at the rest of the situation.
This group originates fom a site with a somewhat elitist/snobby reputation. The previous group refused to post on MD, and that's why we got our own TL in the first place. When our xKs started putting out chapters here, there were a lot of comments there calling the quality bad and not good enough to post to their site (as if xKs has even shown interest in that, anyway). That's when this new group started working on the chapters on said site.
The fact that they suddenly post here, after their own supporters shat on the translations we have, comes across as insulting.
There was still the general air of treating it like the lesser product and "this isn't good enough for our site".i'm not trying to defend the new scanlator nor the other site. but did all of them even say that like xKs's work is bad? i only remember if someone questioning their tl's quality at first (and ofc it'd happen to anyone with first time picking a manga tl project), then as the time has passed, people there started to discuss the next chapters that has been tl-ed by xKs as if it's just like usual talking on forum (even though the chapter on that site still haven't caught up).
so i don't think everyone there on that site shat on the tl work by xKs. it's just you guys who being sensitive while xKs also doesn't have problem with other scanlator team uploading their work in MD.
The Chads member had a mini tantrum, but lol ok.it's just you guys who being sensitive
that's only some people since not all of them assume xKs tl work is bad. the tl work of this manga might never be updated at that site, but it doesn't mean they don't accept xKs tl work. some people on there also read both ver, so generalizing the whole people on that site as bad also don't right either. i do bet if xKs gonna pick another project, they'll accept this one-man tl work.There was still the general air of treating it like the lesser product and "this isn't good enough for our site".
(And, once again, it's rude to just assume someone would even want to be added there. Very conceited.)
there's a suggestion thread in MD forum, you can give it a try to make suggestion about it. it could be a nice feature if MD decided to implement filter to choose the group work on you fav manga.I actually think it can be nice having some selection when I read a manga. I get to pick and choose my favorite, and see different takes on the TL.
well, if you act like xKs who doesn't even care about other uploading their work in this site i bet you'll have nothing to worry about all of it. after all, MD is a site where multiple scanlators can upload their works, and since the tl chapter still haven't caught up with xKs's latest translation, it's still far from snipe the project. snipe someone's project is when they suddenly released the newest chapter where the previous scanlator left it, and this scanlator haven't done that too. (you can take example from Bocchi the Rock manga, where there are alot of new people who trying to snipe previous scanlator who currently in work for the project with uploading the newer chapters.)But in this case there's already this iffy history where they've acted like xKs's work wasn't good enough—plus they're affiliated with Chads, who're known for refusing to have their work hosted on MD—before suddenly turning around and posting here after all that. So YES, it's gonna come across as this new group thinking of themselves as superior and wanting to snipe the project.
xKs deserves the world. This is a single person translating, redrawing, and typesetting 27 chapters/330+ pages in 20 days, and doing a damn good job at it too. We wouldn't even be close to caught up with the chapters now if not for their work alone.
So you BET I'm gonna stick up for that.
It's a big group, churning out chaptersquickly enough to catch up very soon, against a single person working independently. If they want to snipe after catching up, they can probably manage that just due to the advantage they'd have. I'm skeptical that this isn't their intention here, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for you, I suppose.since the tl chapter still haven't caught up with xKs's latest translation, it's still far from snipe the project. snipe someone's project is when they suddenly released the newest chapter where the previous scanlator left it, and this scanlator haven't done that too.
