The big scans groups are moneygrabbers. Fuck that, we're all pirates here and we ought to be sharing good shit for free, like everyone did before them. Hokuto No Gun is a venerable example of that.

Shit translations and shit scans are wank. All it does is make the experience poorer; if we could all read Japanese, we'd just read the HQ raws off of nyaa.si and bakabt

Seriously dont, Im tired of having to look for scanlator sites to read some up to date manga. Dont start another drama. If u wanna snipe, snipe the ones from groups that left. They aint posting here anymore and we all wont have to deal with having to go to agregators for manga.

Honestly, if you use less strong words, you'd be able to "steal" this from LH peacefully and with everyone's agreement.
LH as a whole doesn't seem to mind their series sniped and all, they'll just release their batch, and if the sniper can keep up with it, they'd just silently drop the series.
Seen it happened quite a few times.

But we're now paranoid for any drama due to somewhat recent event, so your wording would mostly illicit disagreement.

Questioning the dropping of the rankings of the blessing? Minor and normal? Other small changes to wording?

Also, if you do a better job, then it speaks for itself, don't need to be dicks to LH. Hope you continue with the HQ releases, since you're using LH tl, you're not a threat to them, so dunno why people are accusing you of sniping?

"FUCK LH"
"Credit to LH translator"
Oh the irony.

Did you do anything to the chapter other than make the images bigger? Maybe some different fonts? Why release the chapter at all?

I'm in the "This guy did a better job" group, even if he used 'resources' that were from other people... 😄

Lmao, why waste a good TL, I just hate LH as a whole, that being said, it was intentional.

you could say that about almost anything

>oh fifa 20 released today, what did they do? oh, they updated the players stats and card images.

make the images bigger,
I think you'll find, I used the official raw source, its LH that downscaled.

Why release the chapter at all?
Because LH's version made my eyes bleed.

anyways, next month, ill release the chapter same day (as raws release), or afterwards, using another translator, rather than LH's.

"Using the translated script of a release by another scanlation group is generally allowed as long as there is a significant difference from the source release, such as being translated to another language, or having significantly improved typesetting or higher quality raws." -mangadex

I don't mind snipes if it means higher quality but, I honestly can barely see any difference other than typesetting. It's a step up from LH, at least.

Continue please. I prefer to read anything better than LH, even if it's just a small improvement.

As much as I prefer higher quality, I still dislike snipping without a good reason. Good reasons might be things like -

No release in an unreasonably long time.
Groups that have left MD. Fuck them.

When it comes to the first, maybe offering to help speed things up is better if possible. But that wouldn't apply if they where deliberately delaying releases for donations. If that was really the case, snipe them. Still as a rule snipping isn't great. It creates unnecessary drama and can often lead to groups dropping things. The the sniper often gets bored (or has IRL considerations), and no one is TLing it.

That said deliberate lowering image quality is senselessly stupid. It won't encourage anyone to buy anything.
1. Most people probably won't even know that it is happening, let alone the reason why.
2. The original is usually going to be in a language people aren't able to read, so they have little use for it.
3. Personally (and for people like me) I have no interest in physical copies. I'm happy to read it on screen. Physical copies take up physical storage room. Finding it again necessitates some organizational system I don't feel like implementing/adhering to. Lastly I don't want to cut down trees over one time use items(even if i read it a few times). Digital is just better.

I'm just not going to buy and store something I have no use for, sorry. If there was something like Patreon but for commercial products, that might work. Like "I'm pirating your shit out of pure convenience, but here is some money anyhow." Because I don't want the product - only the content. Anyhow lowering the quality only accomplishes a worse experience for all. Just... don't.

I would love for this to be continued. Absolutely loving the comedy, cooking, and the progress with the goddesses!

Protagonist: Gets a fuckton of beef, complains about how things will be boring if he cooks with beef a lot, continues to cook with nothing but rockbird.

I know this is a damned stupid reason, but I'm really starting to hate this manga because a food manga with shite taste in food utterly destroys immersion.

Strange suggestion.
Beef tastes much the same regardless of where on the cow it comes from.
Pork tastes much the same regardless of where on the pig it comes from.
Can't really be sure with venison as I've not had overmuch of it, and rabbits are too small for different "cuts" in the first place.
Are you suggesting it is different with chicken?

Honestly the only bird meat I've actually tried and remotely liked was ostrich. That was definitely dark.

@The5thSeraph Even with beef, there are tougher cuts that can be roasted to give a deeper flavor and softer cuts that are more tender once cooked. Considering spices and different preparation methods, there's a lot of different ways to cook an animal without getting the same flavor twice.

Chicken has a relative advantage here since it has two types of meat with different flavor profiles — white meat which is more mild and can dry out while cooking & dark meat which is more flavorful and juicy. So there's around 2x combinations to prepare it compared to other types of meat.

If rockbird is similar to chicken (or has even more types of meat), then it's not that unreasonable that the MC wouldn't get tired of eating the same poultry for several meals.
