I hate to be rude, but no one gets orgasm on perfect grammar in scanlations. We want to know ahead about to the story to see if its good enough to purchase and read on official translation sites when they are out. They werent being jerks, they just know how to prioritize on what the readers want.
its not like those donation sites thats hurting the author more by channeling donations to illegal translations instead of the money going to the authors. why hog popular series to extort money from fans for faster translations when theres others clearly faster scans that doesnt do all this politics. Ive already read all the chapters using google translate, it doesnt take long if u wanted to translate. it only takes long if u have any intention to profit from it. Why would I pay these sites for good translations when I can just pay the author and official translators instead. These same scanlation sites are the ones taking the free raws online and translating for profit. disgusting. Even sawateam is stealing True Beauty when u can clearly read it on Webtoon for free
bottom line is, I am tired of hogging of series like it belongs to the scanlation site. If u are understaffed, then give it to those who can do it. Its not yours to keep. dont get mad. Do u know how infuriating it is when all u want is translated works that only has raws. so u search everywhere, even willing to pay. But then the official translations arent out, and the scanlation waits for an eclipse to occur before they release a new chapter
The snipers are just for profit scanlation groups, kinda bad ngl
everyone is basically. I wish that wasnt the case. I miss 8 years ago when scanlations just update out of passion for the series and not everyone fighting for who owns what to profit. scan sites profit because we allow them to hog the works they dont own and eat their sweet talk that they must be paid to translate faster for a work they directly take from free raws sites.
There are plenty of scanlation groups that don’t ask for anything while translating lol
most are in the transition to be for profit anyway. Remember a time when scanlations were about Hey, this raw manga is great and I wanted yall to read it in english. Not, Meep Morp I am a Corporate Machine, Donate for chapters. Even sawateam, thought to be non donation site, asked for donations to buy mangadex, and there was the whole scandal where it almost became pay to read, where the donors had the first dibs to read new chapters. mind u, its the work they dont own. smh.
I hate to be rude, but it's true: the sniping group isn't even good. I could tell immediately that Ch.10 and Ch.9 weren't done by the same people because of the drastic dip in quality. The grammar and sentence structure is all over the place and it's borderline unreadable. They're clearly just rushing through it without double-checking it because they want to get ahead of the other group and it really shows. If you're gonna be a jerk, at least be good at what you're being a jerk about.
