Whoa thanks for the research!
Totally agree with everything you've written! I understand and appreciate how hard scanlation groups work and that too for free), but bullying a group for helping readers read something that they were holding hostage for 2 effing years is so wrong.
Plus, they write in their FAQ that they'll translate whatever manga they want so they're just being little hypocrites and acting butt-hurt here
LW has their own chapter because if you notice on that note against us readers by SS, it states how their chapters are high quality implying that LW’s wasn’t.
And these “royal” scans team believe that we must drag ourselves to beg them to join their group if we want “quality” work and that they graciously done for us. Don’t you just love their treatment to readers? I cannot believe for the love of me that people still defend and follow SS when they treat others like that! Smh
Thanks
There's a lotta "tension?" in the comments and I am curious as to what is going on? I'm just grateful we got updates but... yeah.
Edit: Did some digging because I have to satisy my curiousity or I can't sleep at night. Also I'm nosy so for those who also want to know what's going on here is what I understand happened:
The first and new chapters are from a scanlation group "SS" who completed this two years ago (as mentioned on their credit page) but didn't bother posting here until now and only did so in their secret group claiming it's high quality there and uploaded the lower quality here. The second chapter was picked up and posted by a two-person group "Lone Wolf Scan" who did so because a lot of people wanted to continue reading this so they obliged. They also mentioned, in both their credit page as well as commenting on this site (* this is the comment: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/4267695/), that if SS/orginal group wants to pick this up still/want them to stop to let them know. From what I gathered, SS decided to confront Lone Wolf scans and didn't want LW to translate new chapters because SS was/already worked on it.
Copy and pasted from someone else's comment, this is from the SS discord I think:
"It’s seems people want to have it all redone, because they aren’t able of looking for whatever they want without annoying the group that’s already doing it. Those who have been able to read and follow the group that worked on it, have been able to read the project in high quality. And for those who, in your desperation, go and ask for a project that is already completed, They have given you an excellent service (笑) a work that has been completed for more than 2 years will be released again."
My two cents: It seems like SS bullied LW because they feel they had the right to translating this story exclusively and from the copy and pasted text, they feel like readers shouldn't be able to read this unless the readers follow SS .... which is so fucking arrogant. I understand that scanlation groups put in a lot of hard work to translate, clean, and push out chapters for readers basically for free but to claim that you have exclusive rights to certain stories is such bullshit because you're not the author, publishing company etc. You're translating chapters without permission too so don't be fucking hyprocrites. LW also made clear to reach out to them if the og group wanted to pick it up or whatever, so there was no reason to bully them. *If LW translated the chapter themselves w/out using SS scans then SS can eat an extra bag of shit for bullying them. And I do think LW provided their own raws, cleaned and translated themselves because the posted credit pages were to themselves.* LW account on here has been terminated recently and I read their twitter or whatever is inactive as well. I hope they are ok.
Additionally, I'm not going to lie - I personally don't really pay attention to credit pages and don't navigate my way to group pages and I can say that there are many others who don't either. I'm grateful to groups for their time and effort but once I've read a chapter that's it. So how tf would anyone (including LW) have known SS finished the manga already? Besides if you don't want to bother posting it, don't act arrogant and feel that people owe you shit and bully other groups that actually want to help others read stories. Honestly, I rather wait a long time to read chapters posted by decent groups than from a group that thinks they are above others and treat others like trash.
