@Something_Something_123

are you fokkin serious with this image size?? 👺

if scans are so shitty - at least upscale em, yea I know simple upscaling might not be ideal but'd still be better than pages for ants, plus there are also neuronetworks for upscaling, here even online one: https://waifu2x.booru.pics

[optiso]

why are the page sizes so inconsistent

 

[CalamityCallout]

What the fuck, chapter for ants, impossible to read

@Owyn

A hero in our midst! A readable page, thank god!

Heres page 7 too, for those who don't/can't do it themselves https://waifu2x.booru.pics/outfiles/412aca598028e9df73327c0fe4efa46ebaedf0b6_s2_n1.png

he survived AWWW cri cri

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

Ohhhhhh.... look at that elvish blush....

 

[Niz_45]

Thank you for the translation~ That last part gave me the feels man

 

[zetsuravez]

wow... he lived... i never thought the shield had that kind of sturdiness...

 

[hedgemoney]

Wow, that shield saved him from a point blank anti-tank missle? Is it made out of vibranium? The shock wave alone would have killed him, so I can only assume it has shock wave absorbing properties too.

 

[Mathew_01]

The scan quality was all over the place in this chapter. Pretty glaring.

 

[efreak]

The scan quality was annoying, yes. It's easily fixable, yes. As someone who only reads and never helps out, you won't see me complaining about a scanlator, especially given the comments in the credits page implying that there's a bunch of new people working on this. At the very least, none of the pages have moire (patterns caused by scanning with the pages misaligned and/or at the wrong resolution), so they're already far ahead of some other groups. There's no signs of MTL here either--if i's even being used, it's being done right.

Having said that, I hope there's a second release of this chapter. Scanning may be destructive to bindings, but not so much to individual pages (assuming they did the scanning themselves).

 

[Milanin]

I don't know what people are complaining about...
The scan was pretty good in my opinion and the translations seemed to fit right in and not just some guesswork
The only thing I would thing that garnered quips from me is that the sharpness of the text was down in pages that were blurry overall, so I am unsure if it is because of a loading error or if different quality settings when saving pages were used.

 

[baconcat]

Now how would YOU know about the speed of sound, I wonder …

 

[ultraleaf]

Sizing pages are all over the place lol

 

[Something_Something_123]

@Owyn @Kapow

I sincerely apologize to everyone about the page sizing issue, and as the poster, I will take full responsibility for this problem. Going forward all pages will be scaled to A6 with no exceptions. The scanlation group had a few new recruits that was not informed about this and for that I once again apologize

 

[Drifter]

@Something_Something_123 Not good enough. I demand a full refund for this chapter.


Or I could just press ctrl and move my mouse wheel a bit

 

[Artaris]

that shield guy just like captain america or i will call it captain louria

 

[Monky]

I’m strangely elated that shieldbro survived

 

[criver]

Every chapter the mental masturbation goes deeper. In what world does an author write such a thing unironically? Or is this a work that secretly makes fun of the JSDF?

 

[IronMace1990]

@Drifter

What's the refund of free? If you don't give money, why we should give a refund?

 

[IronMace1990]

@criver

Because soldiers were human at heart too, not industrialized killing machines

 

[Dridespoon]

IronMace, it's a joke, bruh.

From the plot so far I don't expect much more from the shield guy subplot. Either he's going to live happily ever after (better option) and we won't see him again, or he'll have some revenge plot which ends up with him being ganked by AP rounds because nippon powahhh.

You guys can retypeset this with the original raws and update the archive on MD, at least. It'd have already been mirrored by all the sites around the net and those won't get updated, but at least you'll save some more complaining by MD comments.

Thanks for the update also.
