Don’t even put place holders if your incapable of remembering to replace them. That’s what place holders are, a promise you WILL come back and upload the chapter. Not the selfish “ my spot, my spot” sign that many uploaders seem to use it for in order to mark their territory. It’s all well and good if they actually do a proper job, but why boguard when you don’t plan to do a proper job. Because in my experience most uploaders/translators don’t even proof read or double check their uploads. It’s something that takes minimal time but can cause massive impact.
After reading this, one person complained because I ‘shouldn’t complain about translators ever’ as this is an illegal site and I should be grateful for it.
I don’t believe this person, who may or may not be a translator/uploader themselves, really read what I wrote properly as they have failed to grasp the point I was making if all they thought was that I was complaining about translation quality. They were clearly swayed by their own personal bias’ and it has left me quite annoyed to be told I’ve meant something I haven’t when it’s written there for everyone to easily read as many times as they want for clarification before hitting post.
So I have 2 points to clarify here:
Firstly, are you saying we can’t complain when there’s nothing there - that’s nothing, zero effort waisting both their own and everyone else’s time and effort by putting a place holder. Read specifics before getting overly defensive. This is the only one case I do think straight complaining about most translations/uploaders is fine, but this is not refered to or mentioned in my original comment.
Secondly, to clarify, when I complain about bad translations/uploads, my complaint isn’t about the bad translation/upload itself or the effort that was put into it. But instead my complaint was that they so proudly boguard (hog) the position to translate/upload a chapter by putting placeholders, therefore possibly preventing someone who actually wants to or is able to put more or better work into their translations/uploads.
I love how they, like others, tell you to support the author by purchasing further chapters if u want to read more but they never ever tell you how or where. Because I am having trouble finding it. It feels as though those suggestions are merely fake attempts to ease their own feelings of guilt or to make them look better to others and are not expected to be acted on. You’re doing something dishonest, if you feel a little guilty the least you can do is be honest about the fact that your being dishonest instead of trying to cover it with a false pretence that you’re somehow helping the author.

It’s seems to be a good story at its core, unfortunately I think a lot of people are getting confused as a result of the numerous spelling mistakes and typos in almost every panel. It is a shame when good stories are ruined by lazy/inept translation, but I guess it could be an even bigger shame if there were no translation at all.
What’s more frustrating than reading a bad webtoon? Reading a good webtoon only to find a whole chapter isn’t even translated. Chapter 14 is untranslated and I was unable to find it translated anywhere else, tbh I wouldn’t have started reading had I known.
I went to the scanlation site (like manga) like is written in previous posts to try to find chapter 14, that’s a waste of time - you don’t get a translation and your attacked with ads and pop ups. It’s almost like likemanga purposely did this and said to go to their site to get the translation so they could get more site visitors and their not fixing the problem only so no one else can then fix it. Now I know to be wary of, and avoid this site - it explains why helvetica kept replying so conscientiously to every chap 14 complaint with an overall vagueness, but there is no reply from those who posted the comment. So I then tried kaiscans, the original uploaders before likemanga, only to get a bad gateway notice. And I’m not planning to keep checking which is likely counted upon if my suspicions are correct - hense the vagueness in scanlation when likemanga doesn’t work claim you didn’t mean that one, knowing full well kaiscans won’t work, but still get the visits to your site nonetheless.
Of course this is all just my suspicions based on the evidence, the fact that I hate manipulation and the fact that I’m majorly pissed off.
Please stop signing me out so often. I understand why you do it, but in the past I’ve been signed out of MangaGo several times in one hour. Im disabled, and due to my disabilities i am often bed bound. When that happens i read manga - so essentially my iPad never really leaves the MangaGo website - and its very annoying when I’m in the middle of reading and MangaGo signs me out. Also, because of my disability, i use a controller (keypad) to scroll up and down while my ipad is not as easily accessed. But my controller doesn't work for signing in and out so its a huge hassle to sign back in and an even bigger hassle to write this - but it has just gotten that annoying.
But seen as how im on the topic, i would love if MangaGo decided to include more accessible features for people such as myself, such as automatic scrolling for example.
