Yeah I remember being about 10 chapters ahead of this. We were at some fort in the mountains being introduced to the dark haired heroine on the new volume art.Weren't we ahead of this? Those chapters are gone. Well, thanks for the translation.
I guess its another paywall shenanigans again huh.Asmodeus who are banned here are up to 41 and inkvora who I think also got banned or might've never actually lasted past a few days are on 42.
I'd highly recommend picking some different fonts.
We had through chapter 34. The group got banned.Weren't we ahead of this? Those chapters are gone. Well, thanks for the translation.
It's become clear for a while that probably 90%+ of the new "groups" are AI/MTL translations which generally I've not had a problem with. MTL with QA has been a thing in scanalating from forever ago, when they're signposted as such beforehand.They paywall some of the chapters but you can read all of them eventually if you wait long enough, because it will be open to public. But i found out that they're just using MTL. Not any MTL mind you, its fucking google translate. They just copy it word for word and they didnt even proofread it. The absolute nerve of this people wanting money for MTL. I dont blame MD for banning paywalling group honestly.
There are a few older groups who do a similar thing to this as well. For example, KDT Scans will often just credit "Staff" in every role, and when you read the chapter it's clearly MTL (which they will of course deny, but it's very obvious). I actually find that more annoying in a way - the quality of the TL fluctuates from pretty good to utterly unreadable depending on who TL'd it (or if it was MTL'd), which with the number of series they pick up (sidenote: that quantity is probably the reason they need to have so many TLs of differing ability levels, and need to MTL some shit - I could go on a whole rant about this group in particular but I digress lol) makes reading any of their chapters a total coin flip. The groups you're talking about on the other hand, are consistently terrible so it's easy to just block and ignore them.The newer "groups" will have credits but generally don't have specific names for anyone, so most people would think they're actually a group same as you'd be used to but it's clearly MTL.
It was discussed ages ago as well: tolerating donation-based scanlation and any other financial incentives leads to sloppification, where crap get's pushed out the door as efficiently as possible with no regard for anything that used to be the core of the hobby. Yet even today so many people are willing to die on that hill, defending it...It's a bit sad that something that was so fueled by passion like scanalation has become so clearly a racket for some. On the other side official channels can be behind or for quite a few series not exist at all, which is most of the trashy series I read and honestly a lot that aren't.
asmodeus now only post on their own site, and currently on 41Weren't we ahead of this? Those chapters are gone. Well, thanks for the translation.
