They purposely leave massive gaps in their uploads in order to make you go to their website. On top of that, the website is FILLED with unblockable ads making it almost impossible to actually read the manhwa. Annoying.

Garbage mtl group, on par with groups like s2 or teenmanhua, everything they upload is to try to shovel you to their garbage website, you can safely blacklist and lose nothing of value.

I love the works they're translating but wish the website wasn't a pile of garbage ads. 5 ads, 2 video ads, and 3 banner ads with awful redirects on most of the (x) buttons.

You have very good taste. Thank you for letting us enjoy these works. I found the titles on Mangadex but also read on your site for the faster updates and lack of watermarks. I appreciate your effort! I've tried my hand at typesetting and translating academically and it is thankless work and a pain to do.

I tried reading on Kaiscans' website.
The next day, the sites images weren't loading! Then a few hours after, the website was down with the domain being referred as "Luascans" instead of  Kaiscans. Is something going on here?

I figured Kaiscans got in trouble because they posted pages with the Tapas watermark at the end of each chapter, but there were other watermarks as well- even from different groups!
I know theres a rumor (and deleted proof) that Luascans steal other groups' translations, but are they also masquerading as other Scan Groups??

Yesterday luascans's website pointed to kai scans, today kai-scans redirects to lua scans which is now using kai scan's disqus. Whatever is involved it's not "masquerading", both groups seem clearly involved... somehow?

I remember Kai had a merger or something similar with some other group a while back, but I don't remember if it was Lua.

Edit: I'm not sure whether this was my error or whether some domain shuffling happened, but it appears the actual Lua Scans is presently at luacomic.net (whereas Kai Scans... or whoever the hell they are that's running an increasingly-sloppy aggregate site, it's so bad it's got rips of official english translations of spanish comics from Webtoon and then labels them 'Korean'... anyway, that whole distaster is at the old domain, luascans.com)

Edit 2: Old links on luacomics.net disqus discussions (i.e. on the real translators' site) still point to luscans.com (the old domain) which redirect to luacomics.com (the scam domain). So, pay attention where you're ending up if you happen to use Disqus directly. Holy moly, whatever happened, it's a mess! It stinks to me of bad faith action by people, rather than hacks. It could just be something like that scanlator lapsed their domain-name registration temporarily and a predatory actor pounced, or it could be some more sordid drama, I don't know.

i'll only read stuff from this trash if the good translator hasn't posted in a long time and i'm too invested in the story

(and reread the chapter when the good translation comes out since this mtl is so bad it can mess up the name of the MAIN CHARACTER/FACTION in 2 DIFFERENT WAYS within 1 PAGE)
