This translator doesn't have the raws though. If the Spanish and English groups drop this manga then the one who uploaded this chapter CAN'T upload anything else. Do you really think someone who can't even ask the other groups if they are still working on it or if they can use their scans is going to buy the manga themselves? Of course not.
Of course if something is actually dropped then it's great when someone starts translating it. This though WASN'T DROPPED, it was PAID for by the English team since they are still working on it. It's called respect. Someone needs to by the raws and stunts like this make the groups actually buying and scanning the books stop, which is a big reason why some series/groups just stop.
Yes, all scanlations are technically theft but that doesn't mean you should disrespect the groups actually paying when you are benefiting from their work.
So it was paid for to distribute to thousands for free. You're not selling me on the RESPECT platform and I'm sure the artist ultimately wouldn't want any of this. None of this has to do with respect. Get over yourself.
"Honour among thieves" basically. IF YOU want to continue to read stuff for free then respect those who spent their time and money for you. YOU are a part of this too. People do this so more people learn of manga and eventually spend money buying it. It's why they have certain rules like not translating anything licensed and removing scans once they are.
You benefit from this so why do you are to think you're better? The scan teams aren't the ones losing out if they stop uploaded, they have the book. YOU are the one who loses out and since you seem to appreciate someone finishing a dropped manga why can't you appreciate the ones who started it in the first place?
it's attitudes like yours which makes the scan teams drop projects in the first place. You benefit from reading them and are mad when they get dropped but still Sh*t on those who make it possible for you to read in the first place.
Plus there are so many manga that have NEVER been translated or have been dropped for YEARS. They could have translated any of those.
"Honour among thieves" lolllll stopped reading there. There are no rules to the internet. Once again, get over yourself.
Bless the translator.
Thieves complaining about thieves "stealing" something that they in no way own is laughable. With the amount of stuff that is dropped or permanently put on hiatus, this is much appreciated.
