Girl please shut up, the unofficial was good and be greatful they took their time to do that!
You are so rude
Nah, I won't shut up. The unofficial translators are one of those scanlation groups that use MTL/AI to churn out as many chapters as they can without caring for quality so they could sell those chapters as "early access" in their site so I have no respect for them.
If they don't use MTL/AI and use actual human translators that have feelings, I won't be rude, but MTL/AI have no feelings to be hurt, so I will be as rude as I want :)
If you buy the actual chapters from official sites, you don’t have this kind of problem and you support the author and translators. I’m a student and I can’t afford to buy them, so for all I care they can use ChatGPT 3 for translation because the alternative is not reading it at all. So I'm still grateful to people that upload unofficial scans and try to do something with what they have
I do, in fact, buy official chapters when they come out. I use sites like bato/mangago to test if I like the story first before buying them legally and to keep tracks of updates. If you want to be grateful to scanlators who use MTL/AI, good for you. I don't have to do the same.

If you want to be grateful to scanlators who use MTL/AI and don't give a damn to proofread even just a little bit before releasing the chapters, good for you, I don't have to feel the same way.
Are these three scanlation team just using gen ai to translate? I noticed they often update chapters at the same time, paradise, myth, and kaizen scans.
Ye, we'll all be grateful all right. When these pro gen ai users and ceos kill the environment bec. of how much these systems require water to keep cool. You're still young so ig good luck with the rest of us in facing water scarcity a few years from now bro May the toughest one survive

Oh also this ai shit is also causing ram prices of pcs to balloon out of proportion too. We should really be grateful that ai exists
I don't know about paradise (I don't think I read their scans?) but myth and kaizen, yes. Even if not gen ai, they're 100% using other MTL. Their chapters has all the tells of non-human translation even if sometimes (rare) they edited/proofread it
Oof, thanks for the confirmation. Been feeling that they're shady for a while now because their credits page doesn't name a specific individual and just says staff, which is weird cause most groups always name each ppl who helped in the scanlation process.
It sucks that these type of groups are gaining dominance. Seems like they are taking all the projects before actual ppl with real translation skills can work on them.
Yes, I hate it too... :((
It's because a lot of readers don't care and just consume whatever barely legible garbage they churn out and then defend them like they're actual heroes whenever anyone calls them out for their use of MTL/AI so more of these scanlators keep popping out
yeah, this is literally product of many illegal readers impatience and it really desecrates the essence of fan translations so much.
In the first place, this space existed bec. OG scanlation teams care enough to learn how to translate the stories as accurately as they can in respect to the author and their works.
It really sucks to see how much this place in the yaoi fandom has changed. Literally hate this new era man.
and some of these scans are actually making people pay for this AI trans to make people read ahead of time
So scummy, honestly
Bro... this is probably one of the few times where I wish authors will go out of their way to actually sue.
Imagine their years of hard work getting fed to gen ai AND profited by someone who has zero involvement in its production.
it's actually pretty sad because their ruining the reputation of fan scanlators. usually, fan scanlators run through donations or if none, just sheer devotion to spread the work of the author. they're basically non profit
Finally officials!!!! The unofficial tl is genuinely so awful to read. MTL garbage
