Honestly, the person was being petty, you are going out of your way to translate it for free, and early access being behind a paywall is a pretty fair way to encourage support.Hello, I'm the translator of ch 32-35. I won't talk much and will only pour my heart. Note: I'm just throwing off the inner feelings that I'm having (or was). Anyway, some might know, I've uploaded ch 32, but later deleted it.
It's because I was just hit hard when someone said I was 'begging' when I said that the adv chs are available in patreon. I don't know how it works in manga community, but when I first started a few days ago, I looked into a few scanlations patreon, and there 7/10 had set up early benefits and as I've also been translating novels with my own group, I have also set such benefits and there are tens of patron subscribing (<50).
Although I shouldn't listen to these who says 'why should I be your patron, you beggar. You are not even original author.' when they are reading in pirated site, it still hit me off. So, I just deleted all the chs and decided to quit this. But, when I go back, even after a day I couldn't get this out of mind. I know I'll forget after a few days or months, but these time will really be difficult for me.
After all, the word 'begging' when I'm being well fed by my parents and am studying to be an independent man and pay them off, is really too great hit for me. So, after a day of thinking, I decided to release all the chs available of strange grief and pour my heart at last and may it relax my heart.
But, well during these days, my emotions calmed down and now I'm not that tense. However, I still wanted to show them that I'm not beggar. Not to prove them, but to stablize myself. However, well I'm heading way off my schedules, and my scheduled chapters prepared for my novel tl group will end today. So, I decided to post upto ch 35 and end this game of emotions.
Alright, thank you for listening my ramble.
Anyway, this isn't for anyone but for myself and I won't ever put a adv tag in manga. Although it was a good experience of growing up my not so mature heart, it didn't feel good. I've set patreon for support, if you want me to focus in it. And, if you have some manga that's suspended and has available raws, then you can say it in discord.
I wanted to say much, but it has already went too long.
In the end, thank you.
It's quite common now and I think it's fine as long as it's limited as a lot of groups use it to buy raws or pay translators, but pretty much everyone with common sense knows that scanlation shouldn't be for-profit because of pretty obvious reasons, besides being bad for everyone that is scanlating because it attracts more attention from publishers. One of the reasons why MangaDex doesn't have ads.I've uploaded ch 32, but later deleted it.

In the end it all comes down to your morals and how much money you want to invest in this, because Brutalbot Scans seems to be still slowly scanlating this manga too.If a series is being actively updated and you sneak out the next chapter, that's a snipe. If you do it in much better quality, people probably won't care.
So, it means that it will be okay to just link to patreon and set the adv chs there beyond paywall, while don't mention about it in the credit panel itself? If so then, it must be my fault. However, I won't put adv chs or any other sort, so I don't want to argue.but I also must agree that it can be seen as for-profit, as you're literally paywalling pirated chapters instead of just linking your patreon and asking for donations, after also sniping Brutalbot Scans that uploaded just 15 days ago.
Ah... Sorry to hear that. I didn't know of it. I thought it was updating reaally slow, so I did it. Now I feel bad man. What should I do? How about this? I'll put brutalbotx group name in the group section and if you can send me credit panel, I'll remove mine and replace it with yours? I don't want you to think of changing credits as in other way, so could you please say. I don't want to delete chs now after such long hours of work, but if you want then I can. Sorry for that, I won't post future chs. If I got inspired and do future chs, then can you send your contact, I'll send you there.I am part of Brutalbot Scans and yes, we are not happy that the series were snipped just because you are impatient to know what it comes next. We would like to bring you faster updates but sadly we all have lives outside of scanlating and the owner of the scan was the one doing the TL and he sadly is studying and living in a dorm where internet access is very controlled. We recently got a new TL that will help with this manga especifically. But yes, we didn't drop it and you didn't ask either so this is a propper sniping. Next time, make sure to ask beforehand.
It's pretty fucky and it's not that I care... much. But we're on the same page that we don't want to argueSo, it means that it will be okay to just link to patreon and set the adv chs there beyond paywall, while don't mention about it in the credit panel itself? If so then, it must be my fault. However, I won't put adv chs or any other sort, so I don't want to argue.
An option would be to collab with them and work together (the reason why MangaDex allows you to add multiple groups to chapters).As for sniping, look at the updates time... Min. gap is around 2 months and max gap, as per shown 4 months. So, wouldn't it be good to upload further chs, when the next update will literary be after 2 months (assumed)?
Ah... Sorry to hear that. I didn't know of it. I thought it was updating reaally slow, so I did it. Now I feel bad man. What should I do?
I mean, you can leave the uploads while we upload the chapters. You can ask in the discord if you want to make it a joint collab since we are like 6 members only and slow lolSo, it means that it will be okay to just link to patreon and set the adv chs there beyond paywall, while don't mention about it in the credit panel itself?

The author wanted it to be different from both, as for reason, you can probably ask the author on twitterWhat a massive updates, really really appreciate it. By the way. . . Seriously. . .the manga doesn't follow both the LN nor the WN. . How. . Why
thank you for your hard work .i know there are a lot of people who are just like this ,they wont do anything on their own and try to boss around others who do the work for them.even though they wont buy a copy of the manga they want you to translate free of charge for them.those people dont understand the time and effort you put into the translation .dont bother over it brother, just think of it as they were talking about themselves.Hello, I'm the translator of ch 32-35.

Problem with aggregator sites is that they are usually filled to the brim with ads and bloatware, you always have the option of using an ad blocker but still. Also, once a chapter is added into an aggregator site, if there are errors that you fix in a chapter here in MD, they are not going to re-upload the chapter again because they don't care at all. Only advantage I see on a aggregator site is that you don't have to keep track of 15 different pages where manga is uploaded but that is really it."when they are reading in pirated site..." It's not illegal as long as it's not licensed in your country and if mangadex was a "pirate site" it would've been taken down long ago since it's a realy well know website. This is how it work in most country, because when you are in the grey zone of law it does not mean it's illegal, only that it was not statued by the existing law.
In the end, it's absudly scamy to make money out of the work of an author without giving him anything. But hey, why would anyone care about the author as long as they can make money out of their work and some MTL?
Some people love to say "lol you give the chapter for free so they cant complain", actualy we can with how immoral it is to make money with someone else work and tool.
Like other said the previous translation was still working on it, so it's obvious that people would think that you wanted to make money out of it with MTL and the minimal amount of work.
You know, Fantrad existed LONG before all this absurdity of "gimi money, i cant c/c and mtl if i dont get money". Anime and manga were tranlasted by fan for free. They only had a small note asking people to donate some money if what was done pleased people. And at the time they all had website to keep up and there was a lot less people on the internet.
It was a LOT more healthy at the time, because there was no one trying to scam people and author for some quick buck by lazily using MTL.
ALL OF THIS is not even talking about how BAD of a "marketing" move it is...
People make way more money when they dont put any kind of paywall or anything that can be seen as begging. It's easy seen everywere on internet, people who make the most money dont directly ask for money nor do they make any difference between people that pay and those that dont.
People give more money to those that are likeable and those that make what they do easily accessible. Why? Simply because most people dont like jerk or dislikeable people.
On the other hand they more easily support people that do their best without asking money all the time. Because most people love to see someone simply do his best and have a lickeable personality.
Some people get as much as an engineer's monthly salary by doing a free gamle solo with this kind of things.
