Hey man. Awesome work.

 

[baconcat]

Hey, retard, how about getting yourself a dictionary and learning where not to line-break words? Who taught you it was alright to break 'alright' as 'alri-ght'?? I don't mind genuine mistakes, but you've been producing eye cancer like this forever now. How oblivious and ignorant can you be to see absolutely nothing wrong with that? "Proofreader" and "Quality" my ass!

whatever happened to Yoku Wakaranai Keredo Isekai ni Tensei Shiteita You Desu's TL?
I could have sworn there were a bunch of chapters that you released.....

+ I could have sworn there were chapters of Curse Crafter uploaded yesterday. Did MD take them down? They were pretty high quality scanlations so it's not like they were removed due to quality issues.

EDIT: ah silas has some updates on discord, explains removal and some account shenanigans that happened to him past few months.

Long winded but felt the need to say something, may be a bit repetitive but it's for a reason.
Dude, for what it's worth i'm sorry to hear about your kitty - BUT it's showing in the work here. You're rushing things WAY too much, and the "quality" is slipping. There are quite a few mistranslated bits, and things that shouldn't be there, (Like Aren't, are not..which should have been "isn't" ). It's showing that you're stressed, reasonably..
But - think in the longrun, if you rush and screw up the translations more it's gonna show you can't do it and affect donations. Take a deep breath, go for a walk, and please don't fall down the same path as other ..there's no polite word to put here.. "translators" who screw up a story for a quick buck.
You've done decently in the past (Not great, i still notice a lot of mistakes) But now - it's getting worse.
We don't need speed - we're not children (despite wanting to read it) .. patience to have it done right (Since noone will go back and redo poorly done ones it seems) and more importantly..
Is this really going to help your kitty? Getting lost in this, screwing up more, and more, causing more stress? Come on, think logically.
Take a bit more time, do not rush - and do it right please - admittedly i'm not someone who donates, and my words will probably fall on deaf ears (what can i say, i'm poor and can't afford to).
But dude - cursificer was one of the better ones you did, and now you're missing the difference between aren't and isn't..simple words..not a good sign.
Take a breather, don't rush, if people aren't happy they don't have the full series translated in a day - well, screw em (and not in the fun way).
Personally i'd rather a series be done right once a week, then have 20 chapters at once, with no clue what's going on.
Like i said, your quality - your translations themselves are failing - and rushing hurts you, as a translator - US as readers (since we can't tell what's going on/having the story changed because a few words were out of place. Like say, random gender changes because noone pays attention to LITERALLY 2 PAGES PRIOR -.-) And, finally, it does a disservice to the actual story/author themselves.
They put in a lot of work, you're here to show for the author/on mangadex to pay homage to the author - and yet, rushing a job to screw up work they put probably a ton of time into? Who does that help? NOONE.
Now, if you managed to read it this far - i'll say it again - please don't rush it, and ruin a series just to get it out there fast and make a quick buck. It will taint your image for the future, and ruin future donations all for 168 bucks, which could have lead to a lot more in the longrun.
if the kitty is still alive - if he's getting medicine, despite costs - he'll be fine. "you can't know" well neither can you apparently. More money can always be earned (even in todays..bullshit world) - but, pissing someone off, and ruining a chance can ruin MORE chances, and more opportunities to make money and get further ahead.. like say, what if mr kitty there had to go back in the hospital, and you didn't have a means for nexttime?
Not one translator in recent years seems to plan ahead and do things right, and now it's showing that being quick paced is flowing into your life, and making you screw up. Don't do something stupid and rush things - it helps NOONE, and never has..never will. Take the time to do it right, may not pay off right away, but in this day and age where noone does it right, let alone close to it - think of how much that will set you apart, and garner work, because you're not fucking up the story.
....but you're starting to slip, and it's showing.
Take a breather, don't rush it, and do the chapters right - then things will right themselves. To give a vivid image, this looks to me like someone working on a car, or at a fast food joint, nearly burning their hand/slicing themselves on metal, that could have EASILY been avoided because they're nervous and worried. Banging on shtuff, "WHY WON'T ______"
Take a breather, relax, and do it right - that will earn more respect, and possibly donations - then someone who doesn't.
After all, who in their right mind wants to pay for something - only to have it break by the time they get home, or to buy a book that crumbles to dust when they turn the first page.
That's you - and most "translators" nowadays - and it's SICKENING.
but at least, back then you did some decently - so .. i'll say it again - if you're doing comissions and more - for the love of all that's fuzzy, and for everyone who reads manga - do it right and don't think about "Speed", quality beats quantity, especially - if the story can't be followed because it's all bloody gibberish (like say, calling a chick "he" when she's got the biggest tits in the series -.-). And, finally, if you show you don't care about the story - it says you don't care about the reader..and if you don't care about the reader...why should they care to donate to you? Kinda greedy don't you think.
Please, feel better, and for us, DO BETTER with the work. I hope mr kitty feels better and gets as fat as the character i'm referencing with mr kitty. You can do better, and should.
I always forget to add this at the end - if you read it this far, thank you for taking the time to read it, and yes i'm aware there are no paragraphs. Tried, it auto formats to this wall -.- Which, i don't feel like fixing. Anyhew, thanks for your time, and the stories.
Felt the need to add and stress this a bit. You're having trouble with a simple (yet tedious) job, that is apparently hurting your back. So, running yourself ragged, translating poorly, who does that help? It's certainly not helping you dude, after all your health is being affected by your own words. The people who read your stuff - might turn away, because poor translations aren't exactly enticing, and most importantly - mr kitty.
Think about it, if you're rushing around, trying to "meet a deadline" isn't that the kind of environment, mentally, that tends to cause MAJOR screw ups (just like all speedy "translations"), and have you thought about rushing through stuff like this - which breeds the expectation that you'll rush if it's paid for..which takes time away from mr kitty to heal..and maybe juuust maybe.. forget to give him his meds, which leads to this situation all over again? I added this because i want to stress this.
Speedy helps noone, not even in marvel - Take a breather dude, do it right, and pay attention for not just our sakes, nor yours, but for the kitty too.

I will, bro, but can I know which chapter it is so I can edit it? And no, I didn't speed things up, and no, I have 23 cats to feed, not just one. I can show you the cats, though. Yeah, if I abandoned the cats, why would I even post that? 168 is exactly the cost for one cat at the vet. me doing all things not in a speedy way. If you have 23 cats and 5 of them are sick or ill, would you abandon them? damn you for not taking care of them. Welp, thank you for the advice

To be honest, i've forgotten, it's been a few days, and i read a lot during the days.. but out of the regular stuff i've read of yours i would assume it's the first one with your kitty on it. It was something released that day, and i replied after reading it. One of the death march ones - that said I was pretty sure I left the chapter in there, and wasn't expecting a reply. For that, I am sorry, and kudos on the, let's say, customer service there.
That said - i'm sure you can agree, if you read anyone else's work other then your own in recent years, how messed up some of them are, and how the screw ups are something that takes literally half a minute or a few minutes.. to reread what you put and go, "o that doesn't sound right, i'll fix it". My anger, is pent up from MULTIPLE stories, and it may be more then deserved, but still, it's not hard words, it's simple ones, that don't need to be a mistake, especially, when there's "pr (proof reader" at the end in the credits (or beginning or whatnot). That stress aside, legibility isn't a bad complaint -.-, and as an example, this is like, when in public school (not high school or later) they tell us to reread a test for simple mistakes, like putting an answer in the wrong box, or one level too high..not writing your name, etc.. somethign you can see if you take a minute and just peek at it. Which, to my understanding..was what everyone (who isn't trying to make a quick buck and ruin it for everyone) translating/scanlating..does o.0 - Anyhew, the cat stuff is up ahead, read it or don't, it's long, and to be fair, i don't expect it Which is A-ok. If you do, thank you for your time.
And when i say sped up, the "mass release" with your others - my point was more, i've seen you can do better, and it's slipping.
I never said to abandon the freaking cats dude. See, this is why i said take a break, "O well take it easy, FINE WHAT IF I JUST ABANDON ALL OF THEM" <- see how, bad that sounds, and honestly like a menopausal chick.
You also did not mention 23 cats in the pic, just that one needs help (if memory serves), however, with good reason - i forget the guys name but there was another that in EVERY chapter, for a few years, "my mother needs help and i do this to pay for her meds" was watermarked in every chapter he did. Most, would get an inkling that it's fake, or to solicit sympathy. Not saying it's right, nor that it's wrong.
But yea, that's besides the point. So, 23 cats, if you're not a breeder/breeding and selling them, that's a little..much for the average person, there's no trophy for best catlady (altho it would be amusing if there was). Admittedly i'd love a pet, and jealous of those who have them (be it a chick on a chain or a regular domesticated animal), however.. 23 is a lot.. but hey if you can do it, good for you...that's a lot of food.. gotta be a bag or 2 a day o.0
Anyway back on topic - "i didn't speed things up" does not mean, that you're not going too fast either, and still need to take a break. Just something to consider.
And since you're trying to call me out on that - again - you didn't say 23 cats, you said one in the ad at the end, not even 5 that were sick (granted i did scroll past it fast) - Regardless, i never said to abandon the cats, YOU jumped to that conclusion.
And, don't you think, jumping to said conclusion acting like you're being attacked - shows signs of stress and means time to take a breather for a few days?
"damn you for abandoning them" never said i would - BUT - for an honest answer here, since, i defend myself when attacked (and i tend to when i see poor translations of people shitting on manga , or screwing it up, while soliciting donations for ANY reason...and making it harder to read, when ..a simple look can tell what's wrong there. Not like they're big words, and it's been years...years of this crap. Doesn't need to happen any more). There's a difference between "abandoning" because you're a prick/lazy...and given the current, let's say, economic client - simply not being able to afford to.
Now, granted - i'd try everything in my power to sell shit, or get extra money to save them, especially if i made the choice (not forced upon) made the choice to have said kitty, doggy, or whatever. After all, i'm responsible for that life, by choice.
But - and a big kim kardashian butt here... sometimes, you just can't do it. We're not all goku or the main character of a story, that a bit of screaming and positive thinking can fix stuff, and make it work.. sometimes, dude, it just, well, you just can't do it.
AND IF i couldn't afford to help them, i'd look into (here in ontario) the spca , or any sort of animal rights places.. heck even peta and those psychos to see if they'll help with a donation to save an animal (Which, i bet they would, if you find one that isn't doing it for attention) - see if there's any grants, or special funds for pet medical bills, or charity things in the area you can apply for .
Or, worse comes to worse, NOT ABANDON - but try and find them (The healthy ones) a home, sell them..and use the money to pay for the vet bills for the others..so they ALL can make it (even if not with me). Adoption, is better then abandonment, and even if my dumb ass can't support kids, or a dependant of any sort - it doesn't mean there isn't someone kind enough to make sure the kitty(s) will be safe. Like i said, sometimes, you can't do what you can't do, and there's nothing wrong with that, but forcing it, stressing yourself, and hurting yourself and them while you ponder and hope..helps noone.
Gofundme's are still a thing, i think - try that as well, and set up photos like an onlyfans thing with a poster of the kitty, their name..photos of their recovery, etc as a reward, And i want to stress this again - at the time of writing, given your ad at the end, i assumed and afaik it was one cat, not several litters worth. However, that is a CHOICE to have that many, not a requirement nor something forced - soo, it falls on you, noone else technically unless they CHOOSE to help. Which they may..or they may not, but at the end of the day, it's a CHOICE to have 1 or 23 cats. "23 cats does countdown" interesting choice there.. like i said, if you're doing breeding, well, that's another story. but for your own personal place, feasably, 5 cats at most is reasonable, any bit more would be immensely hard to take care of, unless you're rich (finances wise), including said medical costs.
And on that note - have you thought of trying for a loan or something, setting up a payment plan. 168x5 let's say, 840 (dunno where you are, but for the example let's say CAD) for all the little kitties. Now, a 1000 dollar loan can be common (not to mention a credit card, i worked collections for capital one at one point) is a preeeetty common limit. Which, wouldn't help with food, but, paying 20 bucks a month, or 50, beats 1000 all at once.. till you raise said capital/moolah to pay it all off, and it also gives time to shore up potential donations to pay for said kitties - and solve your problem, or, at the very least, some comissions which will net the money to pay for them as well, 50 a month (Covering said interest, not going lower, nor higher) keeping it at that level for (I dunno if 50 would, but for the example, let's say it's a round number and pretend it would) the time being till you find the solution to fix it. Which if you're spending on 23 cats, 50 a month, should be doable, then you just need to be patient till you have enough to fix it, or maybe even do 75 a month and start slowly edging the balance down till it's paid, while keeping the status quo..which will solve your problem. People don't talk about it enough, but there is a point where you can (depending on the balance) pay enough to keep it from going up, but not going down either - and in that sense, you're buying yourself what you need, time..to find a full on solution.
I'd also set it up seperately if someone wants to donate to the kitty fund - because personally it annoys me when someone is doing something (that's potentially, well.. you know) translating this, that isn't theirs, but still trying to get MORE money, like a homeless person you just gave 20 bucks to (granted me reading for free is no better) - but - setting it up seperate, says you're doing it ASIDE from comissions, and are not trying to guilt readers into getting more money.. showing you care about them/and the products (again thanks for responding here, promptly too), and that you're asking for help, not a handout/more money just because.
Now, granted - i also don't know you personally, so i have nothing physical nor tangible that says it's truthful. After all, anyone can get cat pictures off google images, and find enough to pretend they have more, and well - fake it. It's not that hard (like keeping gender's properly and not saying ONES WITH BIG TITS ARE HIM -.-..not that you did..that i remember), but i don't have proof you're lying about it either. Either way - it's just food for thought, if you follow it, or not, it's up to you, however, instead of rushing/doing things en masse instead of properly "i'm not going faster" again - instead of doing things properly, maybe consider getting some sort of loan, or repayment/plan that you don't have to pay all at once, and can pay what's managable TILL YOU CAN pay off the meds for said kitties. If you're not forward that's one thing, but at least you're not behind, right? Won't royally screw up your credit either, afaik, and will help not just win the battle but the war too.
Altho, being a perverted wannabe comedian that i am - i may go a step further, and set up a website, like unicef, "donate 87 cents a day, to get updates on little Shiro, and how he's doing" pictures, a photo, maybe some cartoon badges. "adopt the ktity for a month" ...and maybe when they're better, try and get a video of them snuggled in somewhere purring as a reward, so said donator can really capitalize on the "i did good, i helped someone". Everyone wins.
Finally - i would go for 3-4 pets at most, A dog and a cat ideally, maaybe a girlfriend added to that list. Don't deny that "kitty" costs a lot -.- eheheh. I would never go for 23 cats, or any amount of pets bigger then 1 ft, above double digits, because i know, i can't afford it and support them, so why put them in a spot where they can suffer/potentially suffer from my lack of support? (same argument for bringing a child into this world when you can't afford to have a kid - but just because "hey i want one, i'm lonely" without worrying about the consequence to said life, because hey, by the power of imagination, everything works out. -.-) ..it's not realistic to have too many pets, and in some cases, to have even one pet, unfortunately. It's not about morals, or some big statement - it's about doing what's best for them, and if you can't, well, you can't. Abandoning (putting them somewhere and going "not my problem), is different then putting up from adoption.. keep that in mind. Or selling them to a new family.
For what it's worth - like i said without proper proof, i dunno if you're lying or not, (honestly doesn't matter to me at this point) I do hope the kitties get help, and feel better. And if you read this far, thank you for your time. At the end of the day, i don't need photos, drama, political shit, or anything to make me feel guilty - I just wanna read a nice story, get lost in it and relax. And maybe see some nice boobs in said story, nipples and all.. i miss those days..Anyway i think i've poked my nose in enough to admonish and try and be encouraging here, Good luck dude, you'll need it.

I was wondering if you could pick up Red Eyes by Jun Shindo:

https://mangadex.org/title/0a012ab6-294d-48c6-be4f-18c7102dc6dd/red-eyes

It was being translated by another group, but the last update was three years ago and there’s been nothing since then. Unfortunately a commission is out of the question for me, but I can wait.
