UTOON

[vex002]

unreadable garbage

 

[Timewaster_zoltar]

with all serenity fuck UTOON, they shouldn't be doing translation with their stupid ass censorship

 

[sedition]

Can you morons please hire a goddamn English speaker to proof read your mtl? There are so many obvious errors that literally anyone with a basic understanding of English could catch.

They won't hire anyone because hiring a human translator costs money.
DeepL and Google translate is free and robots don't complain about lack of pay or being overworked.

Did these fuckers take over Reset Scans? Or has it been Manhwa Freak, too, the whole time?

It's just so annoying, because it still requires a human to copy over the text from the script when you typeset a manga page, so if they had literally any English knowledge they would notice the obvious mistakes and correct them instantly.

Oh, it's ManhwaFreak's Backup.

someone bring the popcorn, because I can't wait to see the absolute trashfire this'll end up being.

Hey, I'm not familiar with all this. Could you please explain?

Utoon is an alt/subsidiary to ManwhaFreak and Reset Scans. From what I have encountered, they are pump and dump machine translators and in many cases they use Google translate and DeepL only leading to terrible translations filled with poor grammar and idioms/phrases that aren't adapted well.

When it comes to editing, they seem to be adverse to hiring redrawers, they frequently submit pages of different sizes, they slap their watermark on every other page in an obscenely large and colorful manner in addition to full page ads in the middle of chapters. For some reason when they actually do some redrawing, they alter images poorly to eliminate cleavage by making it into blurry uni-boob. They also submit works with missing pages way to frequently.

I actually came here today to see if anyone else has noticed their new (new to me at least) trend of sniping active translations from other groups. Specifically it looks like they are translating ones that now have anime adaptations that have recently come out or are in development. They aren't even trying to hide when they snipe by translating all chapters, just the most recent ones like here with Isekai Craft.

This Contributor guy is still posting their translations. Are they part of them or just posting their translations unaware of their reputation?

I'm pretty sure Contributor is just a scraper account that pulls from sources around the net. Since they do mass dumps, it may not even check for things like duplicate chapters or quality control. Can't really be upset with them since they get plenty of titles from other scanlators that do quality work.

Oh, they've done it with more than cleavage. Legs, thighs, midriffs...they'll censor damn near anything to the standards of Puritans from 200 years ago. I think the peak example is probably their translation of Chapter 57 of "Han Daesung, Back From Hell". They censored pretty much every piece of exposed skin on a character (who was swimming, but not in a bathing suit, just s top and shorts) between the ankles and the neck, bar the arms. By applying the digital equivalent of whiteout to a colored manwha. It's as bad as it sounds, if not worse.

The below link is a screenshot I saved (from manhwafreak) that I found amusing where they talked about respecting artists' integrity and how they didn't want to push agendas. Then proceed to white brush censor any form of cleavage/other slightly exposed skin.

Lmao I found the hypocrisy and lack of self awareness hilarious.

I suppose some fan service (in the aforementioned series L.A.G., which doesn't have anything close to nudity) is super NSFW compared to a literal death game where people are regularly torn apart huh.

Sure, it certainly doesn't have anything at all to do with their wanting payment from whatever ads/payment processor they use as they also regularly paywall their edited MTL chapters on their site.
