I'm biased but Secre Translations is goated. Secre does work for the Fan Translations of Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, and if you're familiar with that, it'll give them some good rep.
They're also taking on the incredibly challenging task of doing a faithful translation of Beyond the Boundary, who's light novel is notorious for complex and challenging writing and odd creative decisions
Like I said, I've tried LNs a few times in the past - both official translations and unofficial ones of both bad and excellent TL quality. The format just isn't for me, and I'd rather not spend my limited free time
trying to enjoy it.
Also there's a good chance it was axed because of poor sales, not necessarily because of it being an advertisement. We don't know for sure. Publishers don't want to fund manga that doesn't sell and I can't blame them for it.
Yeah that type of axe I can fully understand, even if it sucks when it happens to a good series. The oversaturation of slop manga really doesn't help there either, with how much harder it makes it for a good series to stand out.
With that being said, Japan is also easy to make fun of for their seemingly "poor taste" considering they'll eat up Rent a Girlfriend slop like its candy
That's exactly the series I was thinking of when I made my first comment
Every time a good manga gets axed, my first thought is about how that horseshit's
somehow still getting published lol...
