As someone who can read Japanese and English. I always prefer reading fan translations. Because they give you first-hand translations and not those translations that are just made convenient for English readers. Oh uhm- before you come at me, I also read in official sites and since I have access to manga, I also buy physical copies. So just don't me okay?
I notice when fan translations encounter words/phrases that don't have direct English translations, they put a t/n and explain that "oh, they said this, but it feels awkward in English so I put this." Etc. And I love that.
Also, the cultural value is preserved better in fan translations than in official translations. E.g. maintaining the honorifics, common greetings, names. Etc. Geeze, some official trans even change Asian names to English names. And I find that somewhat disrespectful.
Then again, these are just my preferences. And I fully understand if other people want the official trans here. But the official trans uploader should've handled this better IMO. You can't just take off and upload over hours of work without asking the previous uploaders. And once you come to an understanding, at least upload in one go. Sucks to click a notif to see no new chapters here. Haist. Also, you can't just say your uploads are better as-a-matter-of-factly like that. Because if they were, no one would report them, right?
Haven't you read all the points people raised a while ago, official trans uploader-san? Just wow. Just make a new page here and title it "How to Chase an Alpha (Official translation)" if it'd kill you to not upload these chapters. Gosh. You didn't listen at all. Wow. As in wow.
I agree this is the beat option that way people have a choice.
Honestly it got me really worried for some reason when it says official especially when nothing legal is suppose to be here
Yes that’s what I’m worried about. I mean I know some people have uploaded official chapters in other mangas, but this is bringing too much attention. I’m gonna be sad if we lose this story because this person is doing this.
Report bruh. Even the original uploader had the officials but chose not to. This one is just clout chasing at this point.
Ye. And seperating them gives us a chance to hide this version somehow.
True. I really don't get the fixation of uploading the og here. Also insulting fan trans work. Yes they aren't perfet but the worked hard for it and at least a part of the work we read here is not from. The author perse.
I agree. Will do. People already reported this uploader and they snapped at the us. Lol calling us ungrateful for not wanting "better" uploads. Like bish that ain't the point.
