Hi
@pishposh05 I’m really sorry you feel this way. I hope that my response can help shed a little light on all this.
Back when this series started, which is super recently, both groups started to translate this series. It was hard work for both of us groups, while I was not personally working on this series, I stood from the sidelines cheering people on as they had a late night scanalating it and even as I went to sleep they were still working on it. That first release Endless Journey released the full chapter first. The time between the releases wasn’t great either, you can see that it was on the same day still. The team working on this in Endless Journey really wanted to continue working on this and since they released the full chapter first they decided to continue to do so. We understand that the other scans group are also in a similar situation. That is why we are not asking them to stop producing their version. We want to amicably keep releasing our version.
I hope you understand that our team is made up of several different people. We are not the same people for every project, you can even see that in our credit page, although that’s not necessarily everyone. The people who work on this project may not be the same people who work on a slowly updating project. You seem a bit fustrated and specifically raws in “that” but I don’t know which series you are talking about. I know that Endless Journey doesn’t think that this is a “game” nor are we neglecting other work in favor of this.
I personally do not know the opinions of every staff who works on the series, but isn’t it okay if they want to work on it? Why should they have to join another team to work on this series if the team they are already part of is already doing it. To flip the question back to you, why shouldn’t the other scans team just join us to produce this series? Of course, I think that isn’t really an appropriate thing to ask of each side. Acting as if a staff member is villainous just because they want to work on their group’s scan instead of joining another team seems a bit disingenuous.
Furthermore, I’d like you to remember that we are all people. On all sides. I never bumped into French Frog scans before this but I do know Tapioca scans and I do know NASS where this series is hosted. For all three groups I have no negative opinions. I love the work of a lot of scans groups. I know that Endless Journey has no intention of starting a war over this project but the comments can be a bit uncomfortable. I would never attack the other scans group on the basis of them being another group because I know that behind the screens, they are people just like me. I wouldn’t want to hurt any of them with my words just because I can. I know they are working hard, and they haven’t done anything to offend me personally.
I woke up to see this comment. I know that this is the internet and people think they have a free pass. I know that I may just be sensitive, but your words hurt me. Your words made a mockery of my team and I didn’t like it. I just want you to know that I love my team and all of their efforts, that they were there for me in my tough times, that they were continuing their essential worker jobs during the crisis, that they just wanted to make people happy. I hope you know that there were humans you were talking about.
My personal opinions were talked a lot about in this comment and in no way to my opinions stand for Endless Journey as a whole, but I know some people will share my sentiments.
