I have been following you on tumblr for your translations since chapter 33. I loved them but now have mixed feelings because of everything that has been shown to light. Everyone is saying you should have never taken donations. You never told us that the author was struggling. Why didn'the you tell us it was in English on tappy toons before? We could have given our money to the author instead of you. Most of us thought this was in Korean only and most donated thinking there was no official English translation. That's why we supported you. We feel duped. Do you plan on apologizing? To the author at least? You took some money that deserved to go to the author without hesitation. And now the author is at a loss because someone took most of her chapters and posted them. So now there is no reason for anyone to buy anything since it's all free here. You aren't even encouraging people to help take down these chapters. Do you really care? Everyone is saying that it will most likely be cancelled since the author didn't want this before and now it's happened.

Good.

Your trolling is super obvious, you know.

Yo thank you for the translations. I'm broke and dont plan on spendin. You saved us all!!!! LOVE THIS COUPLE ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Are you kidding me? So you're saying thank you to this person who illegally took what was not hers and not helping to person behind the episodes?

TappyToons is WAY cheaper than lezhin. If even you guys can't afford tappytoons then you guys probably don't deserve to read this series :) wait until you're working a job first kiddos.

Thanks for all the hard work translator! You must be exhausted after all this dilemma thank you for everything up until now (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Damn the whole ordeal mustve sucked as hell a huge thank you for the translation rest up

thank you so much for these translation
I don't have access to paypal or any other way to buy the chapters (even tho I would love to help the author from the bottom of my heart)
since you translated this series I was so happy that I could finally be able to read it and follow the story of my adorable babies
A BIG THANK YOU SENN <3

some of us can't pay because of where we live

Why you mad at me lol. She put them up not me. She did the work so we all get to read it for free. She knew what she was doing is wrong. If she says its in english then why she gotta do this for? See? Cause its for us who dont want to spend a single dime. She ain't even sorry so leave me out of this. (－.－)

Heartbroken :( If physical copies were available in my country I would buy but I cant pay for online stuff sad
Thanks for the hard work translator-san!

Then you don't read it. Its pretty simple.

I use this excuse all the time for when I don't care about anyone but myself.

Wait they took donations? No translator should take donations for anything past present or future. Translators do this for the love of translating beautiful works. If money is involved then it's for selfish gains.

Dude some people might not have access to it because of where they live not every country has freedom to do stuff some have restrictions that may sound absurd or surreal but welcome to someone else's reality in another part of the world (=_=)

They didn’t want to take donations first but people kept insisting so they made it an option

Lol ignore the first

Then don't read. Reality is they can't afford so they dont read. Illegally they can but now their illegal source is gone so face reality = you can't read it anymore.

How about you go tell that to other translators or translation groups with donations and tell majority of them to stop translating works then

So it's the people's fault, not the translators for falling into temptation. Got it

For some people manga/manwha or whatever you wanna call it is an escape for whatever harsh reality their dealing with telling them to not read it, well aren't you nice

According to the translator:

"I don’t keep any of my donations for myself actually. I convert all of them to coins on mrblue so that even if it did come down to it, I wouldn’t be able to use it on myself at that point even if I wanted to.

I in fact, do repeatedly support the author with the donation money. Mrblue has two options for purchasing: buying, and renting. Buying it is a one-time fee where you always have access to the chapters. Rental is slightly cheaper, and you have access to the chapter for 24-hours. I actually do choose the rental option, but only so that I can purchase them repeatedly and support the author as much as I can. From since I have begun translating until now, I have purchased each set of available chapters well over 20 times.

To your first question, why was I accepting donations in the first place? It was several months ago when I was doing really bad in terms of finances (I had to put down a deposit for college), and couldn’t regularly purchase and scanlate at the moment. I didn’t say that I would completely stop if I didn’t receive donations. Donations were an open option if people wanted to see their translations faster. I always intended to continue scanlating after my financial situation had recovered, which happened quickly since I took on more hours during my shift at work."

Thanks man <3 at least YOU understand

Not all translators ask for donations. Translators who ask for money always get backlash. Most ask for donations for an income. The good translators tell us not to give donations and to support a series instead. Which is basically all good series that have not been dropped. They get dropped if donations stop. All the good translators I know have completed a lot of series with good feed back. Check them out some time.

It still comes down to if they can or can't afford it. You're just adding layers of excuses at this point

Agree, I've posted my own translations here in the comment section previously, which meant I had to pay for the comics on Lezhin and take time to translate/post. I did it because I enjoyed the episode and wanted others to be able to understand and enjoy it too. It's the author who should be getting paid, translating is more of a goodwill thing, and if we can't afford to support the author, then it's a bit of an ethical dilemma asking for donations.

I know some of those types thing is though I'm also fully aware that at some point it comes crashing down thanks to the lack of money for buying whatever materials they need for translation. I mean if its a very little amount I couldn't care less but translators that ask for more? and work only if they get donations? Yeah that's where I back out and start suspecting. Those groups that do all of this without any money? I think their a godsend a bunch of awesome hard working ppl ☆

Well whatever even if they are excuses whether its here or out in reality everything revolves around money thats for sure and anything posted online will be spread eventually

Yeah, so now that the illegal source for people to use is gone, you cant read it anymore. That's reality for people who cant afford it. Can't afford, don't read.

There's that option and there's also another which involves someone else repeating this exact same situation till they get called out and probably end up driving the author mad

Anyone have ch17? Op translated But deleted, if you saved it can you shareヾ(☆▽☆)

Yeah that's the "illegal" source I've been mentioning. It's currently gone now and thats reality for people who cant afford it.

It's free on TappyToons. You get coins with ads and events there.

Free. On.TappyToons. Read the new post.

1000000% PERCH!

Now that people can afford it because it's "free" from ads, there should be no excuse for further fan translations and mangago.

Say it again for the people in the back.

It's very scumy to translate a series that's currently being translated in the language that your translating

It’s only free with ads on ealier chapters

Then we're back to can't afford don't read. It's simple.

I never said that?? Plus the translator was using the donations to buy the raws to translate

Thank you so much, translator ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I don't like being this type of person but if that's too much work for you, let me give a summary of my average week as a comparison.

On Sundays, I spend most of my day at church; yes despite being a translator for the BL genre, I do prioritize my religion, and it's a part of my personal lifestyle.
Up until just a few days ago, I was still a student, so I did have school work until then. In addition to my school work, I go to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays (I'm going to college soon, I need the money).
From Monday to Friday, I balance several hobbies; cosplaying, writing, drawing, planning out to publish my own webtoon, dancing, exercising, cooking, and learning languages (I am currently learning Japanese, and expanding more on Korean).
On Saturday mornings and afternoons, I practice instruments (bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano) and like to sing. In the late afternoon, I attend church (like I said, it's a big part of my personal life). As soon as I come home in the evening, I work on translations until I sleep (if I have time on Friday, I'll get to it a bit earlier).
If I have time to do anything in between, I do like to play video games.

On average, I get about 3-4 hours of sleep a night. This is a lifestyle I've become accustomed to since awhile ago, so I'll be honest, it doesn't really take a toll on me.

Does it seem like I have an unnecessarily excessive number of hobbies? Yes, looking at it like that, it certainly does.
My point is, in the midst of all my personal life, I do take my own time and sometimes my own money (I'm grateful to have gotten donations recently) with little to no compensation to translate at least 5 different chapters a week (CBAW is not the only manhwa I work on). Translating a chapter alone takes almost 1.5 hours. However, since I work on CBAW on my own, the screenshots, formatting, cleaning, translating, and typesetting takes about 3-4 hours for one chapter.

So like I take time out of my personal life and take time away from some of my precious hobbies, take just a bit of time to click a few more buttons and figure out a way to read it in a way that'll benefit everyone. If you can't do that, just don't read it.

Thanks
