@motokare, since you're clearly translating from the volume, can you confirm if “Ch. 17.5” is included in Volume 3, as the LatAm Spanish scans have it, or not, as I have it? Also, what is the official numbering if it is included?
If my current marking ends up being wrong, the reason for that error is that it's not on the TOC as this bonus chapter was. Speaking of, for intended reading order, you should number this Ch 6.5 within MD and then put “Case 2.5” in the title. (It's placed at the end of the volume.)
(Also I realize that becase you have Volume 1 you don't necessarily have Volume 3 but I figured it was a small enough leap to be worth asking.)
*If you look at the custom ordering on the Kurage Bunch, it is between 16 and 17, but if you look at the dates! It was published after Chapter 17! After Volume 3 even! (It still could have been included in Volume 3, but had I remembered the dates I probably wouldn't have asked you to confirm.)17.5 (if you look at Kurage Bunch website, this should be 16.5) isn't in Volume 3.
heya, i need a favour from you. can I ask you to stop posting that MTL chapters here for the time being (at least until I catch up) so my translations gets scraped and propagate instead of the MTL. I checked the other aggregators that scraped from Mdex and they scraped my bonus chapters but the main chapters are still the one from the lousy mtl. Obviously I do want people to read mine instead, since I'm also not a MTL so my translation is definitely superior... (and after chapter 5, i am very sure the mexican translator's Japanese sucks too, cause the amount of basic japanese mistranslation they made caused me to facepalm... and since the English MTL machine translate from the Mexican version, it's like bad leading the bad SMH)*If you look at the custom ordering on the Kurage Bunch, it is between 16 and 17, but if you look at the dates!

Altho, if it's also not included in Volume 4 (or some other future volume) as bonus chapters sometimes sadly are, then yes I agree that 16.5 is the better numbering because that intent has been expressed. But for now…
Also I wish MangaDex had a native way to mark ‘This isn't actually in the volume but is just marked as such for reading order.’. Alas.
Anyway, thanks for the response.
Only a half-chapter is released a month—if that—so I think at your current pace you'll catch up before this would matter (beyond Case 19), but say you don't, yeah I can hold back. Initially I was against it, because there is an arguement that you don't want people using agg sites, you want them on MD, so this is an incentive. However, given MD's more vulnerable status now, it's probably better that the better translation is spread further.heya, i need a favour from you. can I ask you to stop posting that MTL chapters here for the time being (at least until I catch up) so my translations gets scraped and propagate instead of the MTL.

honestly, many years ago, i would've had the same notion about aggs, but since I don't host my own archive anymore, i was relying on Mdex as my archive. thanks to dmca, Comick became the last place that has the complete archive of my translations and that's now gone as well. So yeah, thank you for your understanding. it's very easy to see which agg actually bothered to check for quality (not a lot) with this series lolOnly a half-chapter is released a month—if that—so I think at your current pace you'll catch up before this would matter (beyond Case 19), but say you don't, yeah I can hold back.
