Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta - Ch. 44.4

[seekermoc]

I hope the anime adaption makes more sense of what happened over the last few chapters.

 

[Nihhiu]

Is the author seriously telling us he went in there with no plan and on top of that sent most of his men to die for nothing….

probably he wasn't expecting to be cornered, so executing the plan or not seemed futile

he'll probably talk about what was his initial plan in the future? idk

 

[Pumpki]

agreed with most of the posts, what is mc thinkin just running it down with no strat? What was the goal here, a suicide run? Only to get yeeted into Alberquerque by your own troops so they essentially die alone.

 

[Shinigamisama]

I wonder if that person at the end is a waifu.

Not gonna lie here, lhtranslations, as a tl group, you are getting worse. Not in terms of tl quality, but you used to actually tl full chapters and have your 4-5 pages of self-promotion for the WHOLE CHAPTER. Now you have gone to chapter parts, and the 4-5 pages of self-promotion is attached to each part. That's wild. In a decidedly not good way no less.

It was only 3 pages. I counted.

 

[dowiet]

alright.... so the battle is over for now i guess?

 

[Dosky]

After all the mastermind moments, he just walks in without a plan, information and scouting.

The official raws are split into 4-5 parts.

then just wait to release them. you are literally shooting yourself in the foot just because the official does it in the stupidest way.

It was only 3 pages. I counted.

For real, it totals out to between 1/5 to 1/4 of the total page count. Do you know how bad that is? Or are you only able to mathematically calculate in basic addition? No offense but that's what it seems like, because 3 pages out of 15 is exactly 1/5. When the chapter page count is between 14 and 18, every release by lht is at least 3 pages. Often it ends up being 4 or 5 pages of each chapter released when it is over 16 pages in the release in total. Still at least 1/4 pages total dippin dot dumbass so i'm not gonna drop this anymore, as this has been a constant thing they've done for actual years, yet they have been doing so with replicated pages with what might be someone's commisioned art on them. Completely not OK, especially if that art actually IS COMMISIONED, because that means the art should be paid for depending on how much income it generates for the tl group, not in a lump sum fee. And if my guess is correct, the artist was paid in lump sum, yet that art is STILL generating income, and they were lied to about how the art would be used. Kinda shit thing to do no? Literally counts as business fraud by the way, y'know...? So I'm going to push as far as it needs to be pushed to fix this, this is a genuinely rampant problem on MD of late. TL groups that pump and dump for ad revenue and make genuinely non-worth translations, and push (or try to) as many people to read on their sites as possible. I could give a metric assload of groups that do nothing but this, but i don't think i should, because they can easily just leave the accounts they use to upload here and just make new ones! Oh goddamn goodie! But yes, there are enough scumsucking assholes that have nothing better to do with their lives than waste what people have as hobbies with their belief that "oNlY mY hObBy DeSeRvEz tO EaRn MonEe!!!" That shit belief is no different from religious persecution in nature and intent, so it can fuck right off.

Oh also, i genuinely don't care about your status as a contributor, but from your existing replies, and your apparent attitude within those, i can guess you will at some point try to flaunt that as a point to not argue with you because of that alone, so imma stop you from doing that before you get the chance. Your status is fully and completely irrelevant to this particular issue, but either way, it can only make the issue itself escalate so, Just. Don't. Try. It.

 

[TUN27]

THE FUCK IS THIS ARC?!!! I thought he was supposed to be more level headed or something but instead of making a plan he just walk in there outnumbered and while he is still weak to be literally destroyed. Him being out plan is reasonable because there will always be better plan but him being stupid is so weird. Like it is forced by the author.

.....What are you talking about? What status as a contributor? I'm just reading manga.

Why are you bringing fractions into this? You said there was 4-5 pages of self promotion in their release. But it wasn't 4-5. It was 3. All I did was fact check you. I didn't read read your misdirected rant.

I didn't specify it? Oh wait. I definitely did. The fractions are a totaling approximation, by way of averages, of how many pages out of the total page count of LH Translation's releases that are self-promotion. Again, i already said all of this, multiple times now, yet you only see what you want to when you "fact check" what i spell out, literally, for you. You need more help than a therapist can give, clearly. Read. My. Words. Total release pages, divided by the self- promotion pages. That's what the fractions i was bringing up are. Is that hard to understand for you still? If it is, not my fucking problem, because at this point, i have said as such 4 times.

Also, i didn't actually say it was 4-5 pages of self-promotion per release. But ok. I did, however, say that it  averages between 3 and 5 pages, depending on total pages per release though. You definitely can't read and comprehend written material at the same level as you understand English language as a whole.

Either way, you get no right to fact check my words without actually reading them. That's the kind of shit that tyrannical dictatorships do to their political opponents so fuck right off with that. At this point i am blocking you on here, so good luck.

Huh. I didn't realize fact checking someone on the internet was included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You learn something every day.
Did you learn to not feed trolls?
This was fun.

 

[Pinealoupe]

I'll still give this a chance but the story quality has fallen dramatically and it wasn't that great to begin with.

 

[TimeWreck24]

The official raws are split into 4-5 parts.

Not gonna fuck around explaining this more than once, but that's not an excuse or even a half way decent explanation for this level of moneygrubbing. If they NEED the money so goddamn bad, cut a few series, let other groups pick them up, or just stop doing tl's altogether if need be and get actual jobs. If they are this desperate to earn to offset whatever they spend on getting raws for all the series they work on, then do less so they spend less on raws. If that is not enough, then get actual jobs, instead of doing this fulltime. Working in translation as a non-official translation group is not much different from being in a nonprofit organization as an employee. You only make money from donations. And if those don't offset costs, regardless of why, there is zero purpose in the job because at the end of the day, charity will not and can nit be endless. That's just not how humans work sadly. Even if it can last a while, it costs time, patience AND money to maintain that kind of charity, but if the work done can't maintain a reasonable quality the money put in gets bupkus in return so who woulld keep doing that while being sane in any capacity, as well as being a functioning member of society? The only people who can maintain the spending to pay for shit they get nothing from in return is people who have so much money that they don't know what the fuck to do with it all.
