Is it really necessary to change hikakin reference to MrBeast for localisation?

 

[LunaDelrey]

Look, if you're going to do it, at least do it properly.

I think yes, because some people will not understand the reference

That's... what translation notes are for. You don't change the contents to match the audience. You inform the audience when they need to be clued in. That's extremely basic.

As for the editing, gonna have to concur. It's honestly quite poor. The recommendation for better chapters are:

• Read some guides on redrawing
• Read some guides on typesetting
• Don't do chain translations (i.e. JP->SP->EN), those completely obfuscate the original meaning of the manga beyond recognition.
• Stop trying to snipe a series that already has an active scan group doing good work, unless there's a good reason to.

trust that your audience is not completely full of idiots and have a tenous grasp on context.
this is how you end with 6 origin stories movies for spiderman... also why fantastic 4 will never be good

I think you should consider Chris opinion, especially this one :

Stop trying to snipe a series that already has an active scan group doing good work, unless there's a good reason to.

In their defense, that's the direction official translations seem to be going for :rip:

I don't like how typesetting is done. Too sloppy.

 

[mike_leehk]

pls stop

 

[Nihilist1]

Jesus christ how tf this shitty scanlation is still alive.

There's already an active team doing this manga with better translation and typeset to boot, go find something else.

My recommendation is: find abofher manga to work on, this one already has a dedicated scanlation group. If you're gonna try sniping you need to have quality or speed, preferably both. Here, you barely have the first.
