The Soulless Duchess - Vol. 1 Ch. 18

[roxanneayy]

ahhh I knew he'd come back early.


Also thank you DNA scans for picking up this project and going this far.

For me, I'm just thankful for anyone who picks up a project. I get that sniping sucks and there are so many stories out there to pick up rather than continue someone else's work without their knowledge. So it bums me to see this problem often. Regardless of those sentiments, I'm thankful for all scanlators as I could never ever read these stories without any of them. I will read (well I try to at least) even the worst translated ones out there if it means getting to read a story that I would otherwise have never been able to. As @Zm said, I just appreciate that there are chapters being released for me to read.

@Purplelibraryguy Yes, nobody wouldn't be pissed with that! Good thing scanlation snipes are not literal plagiarism, ain't it?

 

[July_Daydreamer]

I just want to say @topofthehill is amazing and very eloquent, I agree with everything he/she said~

 

[MegaXL]

Thanks for all the hard work, and I hope someone else picks up this series.

 

[HOOfan_1]

Wow I have a lot of catching up to do...Glad D&A didn't drop it

Oh no wait...they are dropping it....

IMO that only means the "snipers" won....

 

[Keimichi]

Wtf that spoiler was definitely malicious.

Right, just punish the readers for what another scan team did.

 

[MooseNucle]

Yalls translation quality is so much better. Thank you for all the work you put into it. God speed

 

[Dethaw]

Thanks for everything.

 

[Etoum]

Pleaaaaase reconsider dont drop it 😭😭😭😭😭💔

 

[Kryspy_Kreme]

It's sad to see your translations go but, we respect your decision. Thank you so much for everything you've done! I hope to get to read one of your translations soon.

 

[Legionary_Hunter]

So the "snipers" won.

 

[Nisverah]

@Keimichi I know, right? They earned themselves a block and made themselves look pathetic all in one move with how petty they were with this release.

 

[Warm_N_Moist]

As a former part of a scanlation team I very much understand DNAS' frustration about being sniped. It's a shame they will drop the series but I will continue to hope a decent scanlation team pick-up the series, I've put the other group on block since way back, if this series doesn't get continued by another team, at least I know how it ends (not like I was expecting anything else.)

 

[Meri08]

Awww thank you guys so much for all the hard work❤

 

[marsbars]

I am glad you are dropping this.

Not only were you sniped, but maliciously. The majority of readers then chose to support the snipers instead of you and your team and even attacked you.

The only thing now is to wait for the snipers to drop this series as well out of lack of attention, interest, time, whatever and then there will be no more TDES and I for one will be glad.

Casuals have to learn somehow.

 

[nanaya]

I am not a loyal to their brand, but they had a much better product so I waited. Shame it went down like how it did. They set the standards, but there will always be the silent majority that will prefer reading barely eligible translations simply because it's faster.

 

[habayashi]

so the snipers won, welp, guess I'll hope they do not drop this and start learning Korean from now on.

 

[athene]

Thanks so much for all of your hard work up until now. Those of us who prefer quality over quantity appreciate all of your efforts. I understand completely why you dropped this series, and I think we as a site deserve to be reduced to reading barely-legible "translations." Good luck on your other projects.

 

[Amarrez]

This is so amazingly petty that it's honestly impressive. I wonder if this mediocre series would have gotten even half the attention it did without the sniping drama, though

 

[privkz]

Well, thanks for the translation and the spoiler at the end.

I for one am glad the drama will be over.
