I would note that their chapter 233 is the exact same as this one (despite having its own "credits" page there so, hmm...). I tried from 234 onwards, but I'm rather suspect of their quality. e.g. Kusaka is translated as Soka.
I haven't seen the raws, so from that alone, I can only assume your translations are likely more accurate.
Plus, their latest chapters are gatekept behind coins. I don't know if their policy is to eventually open them up or the latest batch will always be gated.
Still, scanlation should ultimately be a hobby, so I understand if you don't wish to continue for whatever reason, but your past efforts are definitely appreciated (as would any future efforts if you decide to return to this or anything else).
Edit: Also more curious, it seems that they've even used the exact same font choices going forward from 234 onwards. I'd have thought it was done by you too except for the strange sudden change of Kusaka to Soka.

Its only a "competition" because you announce that that PAYWALL site is working on it. If youd just continued like normal, no one wouldve known (as groups that paywall arent allowed on md), and nobody wouldve paid for their AI chapters. Weird that you let yourself get beaten by these people. Scanlation should be a hobby and the primary reason for doing this should be so that you or other people can read a series in english. Guess well have to wait for someone else to pick this up again. Sad.
Man, I'd say continue! You're doing good work here.
Frankly I'm enjoying your translations and quality, and you're releasing them at a comfortable rate, there's no need to compete with them. Plus like hell I'm going to that bum-ass website to read it.
