All that's happened so far is that they repeatedly dm'd me saying my work is shit, and demanded that I need to remove my chapters because it's an insult to the series. I asked okay if you have such a problem with my image quality are you willing to provide the high quality scans you have? And was told YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT IN THIS BUSINESS. Not exactly sure what to do with that.
ahhh so thatld be the first issue, the "business" perspective of what is usually just a hobby.
Your work is shit.
Nobody own you the raws.
What you do is accept is that from the start you have been disrespectful and gone as far to demand someone else resources.
Sorry but why are you taking their words at face value? They're literally a no name nobody with zero reputation or credibility.
If you don't care then you stfu, also, are you blind or willfully ignorant? Go look at every single release of this series, it was absolutely consistent the entire time.
Local clown can't figure out the difference between constructive criticism and "its shit".
i think "picking a side" is taking things too seriously, personally, but maybe it isnt for you. i read yuri and then go on with my day, im not devoting myself to any person or group. ive a job to work, no time to care about fourm playground drama.
i fixed my wording, wasnt taking it at face value but i guess i didnt make that clear. more or less it would be an issue if any side of the coin saw it as a business.
Says the clown who joins a community and acts like he owns the place, look yourself in the mirror before talking about others.
Objectively wrong, you're not a homeless person, the situation is absolutely not comparable, you're not a poor little victim, you chose to intrude into something someone else was already doing, there's literally hundreds of abandoned series with easy raws you could have chosen instead.
You're right, you're not devoting yourself to a person or group, and neither I am, but I still know to be grateful and show my appreciation to all they have given to us, for you it might not be a big deal, but by acting like the situation is not a big deal you're being disrespectful and disregarding the feelings of the people who wasted infinitely more time and hard work than the sniper.
Like I said before, for many people hobbies are serious business, by acting as if it's not you're simply disregarding their hard work and dedication.
considering they provide a professional quality, and could even argue better than some publishers, i don't see it as an issue
And for free to boot, unlike some shitty groups
Okay thats not 100% true... the scanlations have gottem better, you cant deny that.
I'm personally glad that there's another person translating yuri so I hope this whole experience won't drive you to stop translating.
It's true because part of the constructive criticism was explain the community etiquette and why sniping is frowned, they could instead go work into one of the thousands of series that nobody is translating.
It is warranted because almost always sniping never ends well and we never see the series completed, this has happened countless times already, people react bad to snipers due to experiencing this situation before.
Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face as they say, starting awkwardly was understandable due to being a rookie, but by being stubborn and ignoring how the community works they can't complain of any backlash.
Why someone doing a high quality work would be happy being replaced by a subpar work? Who benefits from slop?
That would have worked if the person offered help in good faith, this entire situation wouldn't have happened if they admitted their mistake and offered help.
Who says the series is in the back burner? People have lives, maybe they simply didn't have the time, and reminder that faster does not equal good.
It looks okay to me personally (especially this latest chapter that has improved in quality greatly), also you can tell the new scanlator is eager to learn and improve from what they've been saying.
Agreed. I can't argue with what you said here. I do think there is a malice in the new scanlator's actions. They mentioned that they're neurodivergent though, which is not an excuse per se, but it does explain their actions. Do I think how they reacted was right though? Absolutely not, nor do I think people sending them insults solve anything either.
I looked at the scanlator's profile, they upload somewhat frequently, but it's other series (they have NUMEROUS series btw). If the new scanlator is correct and the series is already completed, put two and two together, this series is on the backburner. I don't want to assume anything, but if I had to guess, it's probably a side project to work on if they get tired on their current main projects.
Ok I probably mixed with what someone else said, since I'm pretty sure someone said the group is working on multiple series so this one was on the back burner for not being a priority
Yeah but that's your opinion, what if the original group disagrees? You're going disregard their opinions after so much hard work?
Which is why they could graciously have accepts they screwed up and ended the situation on a positive note, they're not victims.
Don't forget that a lot of series have different translators though, sometimes it's because of them that new chapters take a while, due to real life problems, a group releasing multiple series don't necessarily means everyone works on everything.
