Is this MTL?
It's oddly better than the other group in some places but also some things like character names are inconsistent or incorrect.

Yes, I did use MTL to translate it but it may appear better in places because I didn’t just copy and paste the translation I did end up tweaking some dialogue that just made absolute no sense or if I thought the situation called for it. This was also my first time translating a manga chapter, hence the inconsistent or incorrect names, I mainly used this chapter as practice since another more “professional” chapter already exists and I know have a proper flow to help minimize if not remove problems like this!

Find something else to translate, then, because there's already a group translating this. This is pretty good for a machine translation, but I think people would prefer that this effort be put into a series that's totally untranslated. I've been waiting for a translation of this, for example, and the quality of your translation here is good enough that I don't think most people would mind considering how long its been since it was "added."

Also, a good Japanese-English dictionary you can use is Jisho.org, which can be useful for confirming translations and some name readings. (Though for the latter, you should usually check for furigana first.)

True, I started translating it before seeing there was another group already translating this 😅

Thanks for the recommendations though! I'll keep that series in mind for sure. I do have another series translated hopefully on the way which I think people will enjoy, I did check this time that no one else has translated haha. I hope you have a nice day!

Thanks for the effort always nice having more translators around to bring us series. Also hearing that you don't just copy paste is nice
