@Robbini More or less. 'I translated this chapter and we got donations to keep doing so' Still has the "to" clause which could imply a transaction of services: you will only keep "doing so" as long as you get donations, then you are taking money to "keep doing so". The best way to phrase it...

@criver @m0nciar Very technically you are right. But if someone actually intended to do harm (say, a new, little publisher who has no fame yet and thus seeks other ways of becoming big), a credits page in a chapter claiming that they received donations to do the chapter would mean that the money...

Note to the translator: If I were you, I would stay away as far as damn possible from what you did with the credits. I understand your willingness to a) show appreciation to the people that helped you and b) encourage others through exposition to help you. But in terms of legality, you are...

@Moira_ That's surprising. Sure as hell does look scaled, I don't get why would amazon alter the image in any way. In any case, I don't think it's worth tring to figure out the original size and scaling it to that, it's probably better if you leave it as it is.

A message to the translation group (I ultimately refuse to call it anything other than translation): I suggest you not to upscale the image, edit it in source quality. If you are running anisotropic or any other way to "increase" it's resolution, you can do it on an upscaled version for a maybe...

It actually should have an isekai tag, even though it's from waaaay before the isekai era.

@larcek I was pretty much expecting someone to show with the "spoiler" thing. But yeah, I got it covered: There are not spoilers in anything I said. It was all phrased in a way so it only adresses the narrative, the style of writting, and the decision making ability of the author. There are no...

@Ovnidemon Vols 9-10 of the LN if I'm not wrong, there is a skill that only affects insects that's used all the time (I won't tell which it is or who uses it since it would be spoiler). At some point it arbitrarily affects a vampire without an explanation. This is also applied to the "Death...

@Solipsist Yeah, quite the whine too. I was really dissapointed with this. I expected too much I guess. It had such a good start, even more so in the novel than in the manga. And certain characters and interactions showed such promise early on. How the story develops in multiple worlds at once...

@Solipsist What turned me off was the fact that after insisting five hundred and a half times about the "bad luck/karma" that you are mentioning, past some point (vol 6 in the LN) everything that happens to the MC is a lucky coincidence. Visiting a village for the first time? Someone just...

I can't resist after that credits page. Still sane, Exile?

@MellowV2 @Raycu Bother to read the whole thread before replying, thanks. The idea of ratings has been long since abandoned. It's not good enough in any form we could think of. I should probably open a new thread for the actual idea being discussed (well, I don't think it's being "discussed"...

@PimpToad Well, you are talking a bit of an utopia, I think. On one side, yes and no: there are a lot of groups, and some intentionally try to compete over the more popular but not the most popular works. I started this thread due to one specific "fight" that happened over a series I was reading...

@AccomplishedList1 That filosophy is exactly the root of the problem. Just because they have invested their time in doing it, they are to be praised, and no criticism can be thrown their way. Well, that's wrong. You have taken the name "translator" you are expected to translate. If you do it...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN @Teasday The fact that some people do have passion and pride doesn't change that some don't. I have pretty much given up on the idea of rating the groups, it doesn't make much sense, and would not solve much more problems than it would cause. Maybe I should make another...

@Zephyrus Well, actually a way to solve all of my problems would be to hide all of the releases of a certain group (not per work, but completely). It would be a personal decision that cannnot be imposed on others, abusing it would be pretty much impossible, harassing a group would be impossible...

I won't go too deep in why this is completely wrong, but it is. I'm not giving direct monetary compensation, but I'm providing the group with a series of privileges they would not have if they didn't publish their work, and that makes me a consumer of the work even if it was given for free. Also...

@BadWithNames Could you please elaborate? "Lmao, fucking pathetic" doesn't say much, you see. I don't understand which part of my statement you disagree with, how could my position be changed in order to try to compromise. Neither do I see any argument against my position. All I said was that...

While the theory is that it would be good for the mental health of the people currently receiving the threat, in practice it's a type of censorship. The implementation of a system that's there specifically to block free speech would be a reason more than enough for me an probably many others to...

I have tried to find a thread about this issue but I have found none, if there is one feel free to inform me and I will take this down immediately. With the immense ammount of new translators joining the ranks in the last year more or less, there has been a huge decrease in quality. Also the...
