You could block it as a scanslation group

Is this quality really from the official publisher? Or are they keeping it low quality for the free chapters?
Seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

I would assume it will end soon, it seems like they are linking all the free chapters which is one per volume..but they just started a couple days ago so they are playing catchup. I would assume they won't link the ones you need to be a member for since that would just piss people off lol

What part is bad? The only thing I dislike is that they don't bother to remove the SFX, like....I get that redrawing takes a ton of effort for something very few people care about but they ARE charging people for it,

But if you think the translations are bad 95% of the Honzuki fandom are going to fight you, Quof is a national treasure (The guy is spitting out a high quality translation for a LN volume every 2 months AND doing the fanbooks, sidestories and Manga...we have the best offical translator ever)

they're not the ones putting the links up. It's the same deal MD does with shonen jump and mangaplus

Note: J-Novel Club is not endorsing MangaDex in any way. These outgoing links are an initiative by MD, and J-Novel Club has no influence or control over this group or the links.

Not talking about the translation but the pixelation you can see especially on page 4 bottom. From what I can see it's the same version as the one I got on bookwalker but with worse image quality.

Oh I gotcha, yeah the prepubs might have lower quality images, or those kinds of things might get fixed before they put the volumes out. I know they fix a lot in the LN translations while it's in prepub

what's worse, is they did every 5th chapter... it's a cash grab only then. no longer interested myself.
can understand downgrading quality for 'free' or ... even... watermarks.. bhllll....
but when it's obvious that they only are going for cash for the sake of cash, no thanks.

Its MD doing the linking and only to the free chapters, hence the first chapter of every volume. JNC had no say in this although I’m sure they will appreciate sales or subs from people who are willing to support legit business and the creators through them.

While valid, it's JNC that choses what would be 'free' chapters and the quality of work that's visible or shown, so it's actually their choice, of which to present here. MD has the platform and rules, and JNC follows them well from my limited exposure. Posting here as official scans with what they got shown is a fancy ad that follows MD's rules in form of teaser chapters.
What also goes with 'official' groups is the legal attacks on other groups which kills fan-based works.
Sure it helps the author, and they get more money, which is GREAT. But for MD, and the series being posted here where common readers are, it's often a series death-sentence.
