@twinklecake Glad you realised that "being in the mood" is part and parcel of the decision to throw gasoline in the flame. Yeah. I normally ignore the peasants, but today I thought I'd incense their little riot.
Besides, your analogy is wrong. Children in an orphanage have a
need for food, shelter, clothing and love. One gives to mitigate a precarious situation that influences their outcomes.
You don't need manga scanlations, mine or anyone else's, to influence your life outcomes. And I certainly am not doing it for readers' sake. I do it because I like this hobby. I'm only thinking of myself, just as if I were collecting stamps or tending to my garden. And you're also deluded to think the notes are aimed at your lot. I write them because these thoughts occur to me while translating, and our typesetter decides to keep them, and I don't object to it because I like them, too. It's a totally spontaneous, selfish process aimed at giving us a private laugh. It ends the moment the chapter is out. You don't really factor in, unless you throw a cute tantrum with flawed analogies like this.
Live and let live, I suppose. Look forward to the next chapter.
