Hello, I'm new to this website and I'm confused with the process of how to upload chapters onto MangaDex. I've read the guidelines and rules thoroughly and its still confusing to me. I've created a new title for a manga (I Was Called Incompetent At Home, But It Seems I’M Super-Competent Globally) that wasn't on the website and I wanted to start adding chapters to it. So far I know that I click on Upload Chapter and then I have to add a group. After that I don't know what to do? Do I need to be apart of a group or something? Either way can someone help me go through this step-by-step?

What chapters are you thinking of uploading? Not the official english ones, right?

https://comikey.com/comics/inept-at-home-but-super-adept-compared-to-the-rest-manga/491/

Cause that won't be allowed.

Or did you translate them on your own? (If not, then more than likely they are the official ones)

If you did indeed do it yourself then:

•Choose a group name and add it on MD or just go with no group if you don't wanna keep one.
•Go to the title.
•Click the upload button.
•Select group (or no group if you don't wanna make one for yourself)
•Type out the chapter details, like number, title, volume, or just select "It's a oneshot" if it is one.
•Upload the pages of your chapter.
•Click upload.

Your first upload under each individual language will be reviewed, Can take 2-3 days.

Edit: Is it the Bato one by Demoniic? Yea those 4 chapters should be allowed. Just upload it under the Demonic group.

I didn't translate them and I don't know how to, I found them from another site called Isekaiscan.com, I checked to see if their's a group and I did but there's two of them but one of them is locked.

These is where they got the scanned chapters from, If you upload the scans from here, It will be a valid upload, Do not upload the aggregated chapters from isekaiscans as they are lower quality and contain official releases as well.

Ok so upload for bato.to and not from Isekaiscan.com, I checked the website out and it looks like they only got up to chapter 4. I've found another website that's up to the current chapter (https://mangatoto.com/title/118834), does this site also have scans that are valid for upload too?

Yeah I checked and they don't. I scrolled down and saw that the one that made it was Demonic and they uploaded it to BATO. So should I get it from there instead, what should I do?
I checked the Batoto page, and it's just some dude who uploaded the Comikey release.

That website is a mirror of Batoto, and that's still the Comikey upload.

There are no scanlations for this title past Ch4.

Prolly cause no one actively adds bato releases, I'll add it.

Edit: I think they don't accept bato releases anymore, I have had my previous reports ignored because of this, Only after they get uploaded on MD do they consider taking it in and adding the bato dates but let's what happens with this one.

Edit 2: Yup, they rejected it, Added it again with a note clarifying that bato is indeed the original source but they rejected it again. Will have to add it properly after someone re-uploads on MD.

Is it Manga Up!, if so is that also not allowed?
If it was Manga Up!, It wouldn't be allowed and Manga Up! has licensed this manga either. The one by Demoniic (Double i yes, I just noticed) is okay if you split it properly before uploading.

Ok so it looks like Demonic is just reuploading chapters from Comikey and Manga Up! is an and so cannot be used. So because both cannot be used becuase their official releases. What should I do?
