What problems do you have with scanlation groups?
Disclaimer: We are appreciative for every group’s hard work and time, this is just a free space to talk about some criticisms we may or may not have! And no group is being targeted.
I’ve never been apart of a scanlation group (so do tell of your experiences if you have any) but I’m in many discord servers and it seems that some groups just TAKE THEIR TIME releasing chapters (I’m particularly talking about the popular ones) because they know it’s popular and people are going to wait for it regardless of time. (Like I’m talking about having the chapter done and waiting to release it just because.) While I accepted this, it suddenly becomes an issue when people get sniped and then the group has this huge problem and starts drama. Like what did you expect when the raws have been out for months and you took forever? Also they will ban for asking when a chapter will be released! Like that is so unfair. Groups will also take on more projects, despite already being spread thin, and make releases even slower... what sense does that make?! I’ve just noticed a lot of things I can’t say on discord without getting ban or attacked, so do you guys have any criticisms or defenses that you want to say about scanlation groups?
I really do appreciate the work that they put into translating manga’s but some groups/one person translating just end up into some google-translated shit that you can’t even read bc the translated shit is written on top of the raws.
