The seme's personality is so hot for some reason. I feel like he's somewhat submissive
No hate, but I've NEVER understood why translators become "territorial" over uploading. Do they make some form of money from this. I'm genuinely curious.
no they prob don’t cuz it’s an illegal site
its because they might be 45% or so complete with a chapter and jts not just translation since there's typesettig proof reading cleaning the sfx, a lot of work basically and that work is worth being able to post the output of their work without feeling like they did it for nothing because someone uploaded it before they did. we're reading illegal translations anyways its more of a favour done by the translators that they're posting these, they can be territorial about it.
bc a lot of the time the translators are the one actually SPENDING their money to buy the raws (not in this case, ofc), and they also spend a significant amount of time making the translation, cleaning, typesetting, proofreading etc. if you upload before them - a lot of the time with shittier translation - you ate wasting their time, money and effort. it's disrespectful as fuck. as such, it's basic courtesy for translators to not upload when someone is already working on it.
because mao and I are passionate about this project and we would like at least ONE aggregrator site to have accurate translations. so far we haven't seen any other english team for 19days doing translations that have a) good image quality, b) accurate translations and correct grammar/no typos and c) decent editing and consistent typesetting.
maomao is native and her english is very good, so the translation is one of the best you can get here for this series. and I have 20+ years of experience with scanlations, especially with editing/redrawing SFX and typesetting the bubbles. if you rather prefer scanlations in the manner of "zinchan" - by my guest. there's lots of scanlation teams who just wanna be quick and be the 'first ones' to throw things out there after an update - on facebook, insta, tumblr etc - and they dont care how it looks and how it sounds.
but yeah, our team likes to make an effort because we care about the source material, so there's actually a bit of work and effort going into this. if other people start uploading random translations they find on the aforementioned platforms, then the quality wouldn't be consistent on this website and lots of people use the translations here for making their meta-posts on social media or to reference the text for fanfics etc.
in my eyes it makes a difference if they say "I like you" or "I love you" - most people probably wouldn't care, but I think the latter is a much bigger deal when it comes to these characters here.
PS: translating 19 days is NOT illegal, if you search on moss and oldxian's weibo accounts, you can find a post from a few years back, where they say they are okay with people translating the comic into different languages as long as we don#t make money with it. (and we as translation team don't - if mango makes money by showing ads on the website to cover server-costs, then this is on them)
i’d have to assume that every translator likes consistency and some translators don’t like when other people upload over them because it kinda disregards the whole setup they have. especially if the translations are really poor. some people just take what they can find and upload it even if it’s dog shit translations/blurry. it’s also like… kinda disrespectful imo. cuz it totally, ignores the face that someone else is clearly giving us chapters and the fact that these people upload for us out of their own free will is incredibly nice. people just need to calm down and wait a few days it’s not a big deal yk. so i could see how it would be irritating. those are just my thoughts though :)
Thanks for all the responses, I get it now. I can see why it would be disrespectful to upload over someone and how disruptive it can be (￣∇￣")
Thank you for all that you do, you're appreciated ♡♡
No way this finna be a love triangle... just killed my high (literally)
but when he makes it out he will have to return alone...(〜￣△￣)〜
First time in like two years I've gotten genuine goosebumps while reading a comic, i love it (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I knew we'd have to address this at some point, but I lowkey would still read this story even if we never addressed the reincarnation stuff again ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I had to be real with myself and acknowledge there is no plot or goal to this story. It's not really focusing on the dynamic between maxi or riftian, or the magic aspect. When they talked about the tree i thought they would expand on that but the plot hasn't really moved forward past a certain point. i know not every story has to have some insane deep meaning but this story has world built too much for that ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ngl..true we're just here for the ride atp
We got amazing art, amazing translations, and amazing characters and romance, but people still complain lol. Just wait, we can’t just jump from one thing to another, it takes time.
I mean all of those factors you listed are why I didn't realize the story had been going nowhere lol. We're on chapter 78 and we haven't even begun to move forward. Like are we really gonna hit chapter 100 before anything new happens with this story, that's a little ridiculous
We can criticize and still support them. The plot is not plotting.
Great things come to those who wait. this is really a great novel, you'll see.
Man the whole manhwa is about them, wdym there us no plot? It's a romance.. most romance with weird ass revenge plot rushed are destroying the quality if stories.
This is a slow burn calling a slow burn plotless is kinda weird just say its not ur cop of tea and I'll understand but calling it plotless I wonder if u are reading it
It actually is my cup of tea, I mean, describe to me how rifitan and Maxi's relationship has developed since like chapter 20, because I'm genuinely curious if I missed something. They've been going in a specific cycle since the beginning of the story. Maxi is insecure about something, Rifitan is too oblivious to notice, then it causes tension, they make up and then it repeats so that's why I say they're never moving forward. If the plot is revenge, they should focus on that more, again, i think hitting (potentially) 100+ chapters of build up before addressing the main plot (which you say is revenge/romance) is INSANE. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
the last few chapters have been progressing so slow. I get trying to build up to a climax of some sort but this part just feels drawn out.(〜￣△￣)〜
Glad i'm not the only one who did NOT like this at all. Im so confused and it seems so out out of character for Matthew (yes he is intoxicated but-)... Both chapters felt like getting cold water poured on you when you're asleep.
He's so out of it because of the drugs that he confused a random woman for Jin and then thought this was a dream, so it's really not Matthew
He thought he was fucking a woman or he thought Jin was with other guys and got really jealous??
Apparently he’s been drugged or something
He ran away from the woman but he is high God knows if he knows he is not with the woman or if he knows he is awake cuz he could be dreaming with Jin sinse he was trow at his door só can you blame him for not knowing he is awake
Depending on what you are high you can lose track of what you did or are doing like that, if he thinks he is dreaming he must be feeling like in a dream if you ever had a confusing dream you know how it is like
Jin said He is still having delusions from the drugs so I can understand why Matthew is so forceful and weird rn
I think he is being forcefull fully because of what old man said and the fact he feels he can't satisfy Jin, cuz truly he is not like that nor like to be like that and this makes him more angry cuz he thinks that's what Jin likes
It's been stated that those drugs make you see what you want to see and that's part of the reason they're so addicting so no, I actually really do think his drugged state had him confusing the woman for Jin and then when he processed that it wasn't him, he ran out to look for him and now he thinks he's dreaming.
