Ik you’re not replying to this drama again but just wanna say don’t let this shit get to ya this was childish as hell and the only true “wrong” you did was upload officials too soon (which personally I don’t think average reader on an illegal site will gaf but that’s just my opinion)
Also getting multiple messages less than 24 hours being demanding sounds like an absolute asshole move wtf—
"I don't appreciate a fan translator demanding I explain myself over several increasingly irate messages in less than 24 hours, about how 'mad' they are as they had already translated and cleaned a chapter,"
On Christmas, nonetheless! Please, spend time with your family or even take the time to enjoy a well-deserved break, there is no need to start drama over LITERALLY NOTHING on Christmas. Happy holidays, everyone!
But fr, this kind of obsessive behavior is not healthy nor is it normal. Please, have some self awareness......
Their reply to one of my comments saying “…Holiday, it's clearly holiday so everyone in free and are here to read.” Is soooo telling they have no concept of other peoples time.
Youch I didn’t know the situation got that bad! So sorry to hear you had to go through that I hope you just ignored them and have a nice Christmas.
I can't believe that this even needs to be said since this is not a legal site, 'claiming' rights to upload a fan translation when the official release exists is really ridiculous.
There's nothing to stop you still uploading your translation/localisation, sometimes official translations lack context, althought that is not my opinion in this case, yourself and others may disagree. I'm massively thankful for fan translators, especially when there is a lack of availability or licensing rights not being utilised.
I was under the impression the other uploader was looking to translate anything not yet officially released so thought I was doing them a favour uploading what already was (As far as I'm aware chapter 6 is out in Japan). A lot of pages don't load properly for me on here anymore and their notice was one of them (I still can't load it FYI so I have no idea what it said) so i only read their comments about translating what hasn't been and made an incorrect assumption.
I try my best to support artists, I have purchased the manga myself on several different formats, as well as for a few friends less fortunate with funds than I. I uploaded 2 chapters initially and intended to stagger the remaining chapters because it encourages more people who have the means to purchase it to do so rather than if I uploaded them all at once, as they may only take notice of notifications and not comments, but if someone else uploaded them before me, I would not have interfered, because it doesn't belong to me.
I'm not part of a group, I'm not looking for credit or clout, it was done with the best intentions, but I'm not playing into this juvenile territorial nonsense. I don't appreciate a fan translator demanding I explain myself over several increasingly irate messages in less than 24 hours, about how 'mad' they are as they had already translated and cleaned a chapter, and that I should be asking their permission, as if posting an unofficial translation somehow gives them a moral high ground when they are still uploading something illegally, then attempting to publicly shame me when I don't answer them in a timescale they deem appropriate. (I'm not referring to Mimi, they were very polite, but I have no intention of engaging anyone after other messages I have received.)
I won't take down what I've already uploaded so as to not disappoint those who have notifications but I won't upload anything else either.
Please DO NOT MESSAGE ME. I am not interested in interacting with anyone on an individual basis, I am not interested in drama but wanted to make my intentions clear so as I encounter no further harassment. This will be the first and last thing I post about it.
