I wouldn't call the other guy a sniper given the previous upload was 2 years ago. How would anybody know you were still working on this after the hiatus the artist took?
It's a very popular series, that just came back, and the bigger problem is that they literally shoved it through a machine, they didn't translate anything, just shit out the below minimum viable product as fast as possible to attract eyeballs to their discord.

Far fewer people would have complained if it was actually well done.

Sniping itself is just rude and wasting work, but shitting out AWFUL work is much worse. Sometimes if the group is really just being slow, sniping isn't always bad. If you've got a group sitting on a completed series doing four chapters a year, and someone actually wants to do it, and does it WELL, that's fine. This is the opposite. There's a group that's doing good work, the chapter is new, and the sniper posted garbage just to be first.

I have to mark my self again since other tl dissappear ... Lol.

Anyway, the art not changing even after a years. Guess the author still drawing when hiatus. That's amazing.

For the chapter, the bots has ability to conceal the magic. That's good skill for hiding. Noted.

The only case in which it could be seen as not sniping would be if the manga is still ongoing but the translation group just stop updating for a long time.

If they want to know if the original group is still working or not, then they should wait for at least 1 week or message them. Hell, I'm a translator myself and sometimes I'm 1 or 3 months behind schedule and no one has ever sniped me like that.

It's also really terrible when they immediately jumped in with a mtl translation, that's clearly sniping behaviour!

Advertising discord servers is just plain autistic behaviour. I don't give a flying fuck about your shitty server, I know you're just going to share cryptic inside jokes with the same 3 people and completely ignore all outsiders. You're not even going to release chapters quicker on your server. You just want donation money.

Sometimes I just want to rip the entire series these groups have been working on, organize them in volumes, delete all credit pages and stick the result on the nyaa site... but that would give them too much credit.

The good thing is, the MTL had the decency to at least delete their trash once a good version was up.

Why was the last upload 2 years ago? What was the author/scanlators doing this entire time?

2 years is a long time.
