Isekai Tensei Slum Machi kara no Nariagari - Ch. 5 - Isekai Tensei Slum Machi kara no Nariagari Chapter 5

In this case, it kind of smells like their main goal was to demotivate the original scanlator for whatever reason.

Motivation needs to come from the inside, if someone doing a shitty job than yours is all that takes to demotivate you, then there was no much motivation since the start.

trying to demotivate them and drop the series, it's a loss for everyone.

Don't use that argument, I have seen tls, good tls to almost native lvl, get burned out because they get overburdened with "everyone expectations" losing their love for translating and it, becoming a hate, because ppl "expect them" to do this and that, etc.

It's also kind of shitty that this release will be what's put up on aggregators, they don't switch out their releases with higher quality ones usually.

Fuck aggregators.

And also it's kind of silly to spend this time and effort making this scanlation instead of working on a manga no one is working on or has been abandoned.

Translators choose what they want to tl, because they like. Not on what ppl want to read (unless there is some dough in the middle)

That'd be far better use of their time and effort, even if their work is shitty.

is their time, and effort to use. No one has the right to say to them do this or that.

There are more than enough manga to choose from, so why'd they'd choose this of all things really makes no sense. Well except for malicious reasons I guess.

It could be malicious reasons, it could be other reasons too, but ppl can choose to ignore, instead of "trampling the sapling"

I don't like snipers that come and put 1 to n+1 shitty chapters and disappear (when no dough flows their way), but I also don't like this attitude some groups take.
Even if they are translating it, it is an open series ("unless you have the license to it"), no one has a right to stop another to start "working" on it, and uploading it.

Remember tls normally start translating series they like...

That's fair to start doing a series you like, but why do it to an active one? It never looks good for them, and I doubt all these comments are gonna help boost their confidence in doing any more work.

"it is an open series ("unless you have the license to it")"
...No shit, but you don't gotta be an ass about it. We're all doing this as a sort of community project, not expecting to get paid, the least you can do is have some decency about your actions no?

Plus, that last msg of his makes it look like we're an MTL group 💀 (we aren't)

what I don't like of this tl guy

1- anyone is free to translate whatever they want, no one starts good, no need to say that, and if you feel you aren't good enough, then don't upload it here, there are other places.

2- you, saying that, is like the only thing you want is to get attention, or start a fight? why do that?

---

anyway at the end of the day, if ppl doesn't want to see it, they can block the uploader, the group etc.

At no point have I made it clear that I'm under the impression that "we should be the only people working this" or "this guy should stop working it" as your comment suggests. My gripe was that this uploader has clearly posted this knowing that the series is being worked, but has contradicted themselves in the cover page saying that their both "too impatient just to wait" but also "willing to drop the series" if its picked up. They're clearly doing it for reasons other than wanting to provide quality content for people so to be honest, I was pretty bummed out when I found out that they had done it... but I'm just going to keep posting our work and leave them to their own devices and hope they don't try to ruin any other groups hard work.

This is pretty stupid to say. Fan translations have pretty much always operated on the economy of good will, appreciation, and the sense of fulfillment that the translators are contributing to the community. This is why we typically dislike this sort of disrespectful behaviour and why we should discourage it.

I really feel like mangadex needs to add some feature that allows us to rate translations or something. If a translator or group has a bad enough rating, then they should be quietly blacklisted from being seen or something.

GDS wpuld be blacklisted immediately 😂

Oh boy, more MTL snipes from users with no prior history. My individual user block list is already full from these burner accounts that quickly become abandoned again. Literally 100s or series that haven't seen updates in years if you actually need a 'pet project', dude.
