the problem is, those scanlation groups are high key disrespectful and rude. A lot of translators give notice to them that they're the ones who picked the project first (and has really good translation) but these scanlation groups like desire scans, myth toons, kaizen and paradise scan kept uploading over and over. And some of them even uses AI to translate. Jujucat and other translators complained abt this and issued a notice but they still upload and make the stories unorganized.
Why it's always THOSE four scanlations/translations groups...... Like u guys don't communicate with eachother and just be like... "oh this group upload this manhwa, so I HAVE TO DO THE SAME" like it's some kind of competition or what? I mean i understand the sentiment if u want us to read from your own websites but WHY IT'S ALWAYS THESE FOUR (so-called) "TRANSLATION" GROUPS?!
I mean, sure u can "promote" ur own websites in a pirate site like this IF your translation are legit accurate, decent, have comprehensible text, dialogue, narration, didn't "simplified" the cultural differences and can find the right words to express what the original language want to convey, but... Let's be fr now, we know when someone use MTL or gen AI as their main resource.
It's not me being ungrateful, i used to be a fan translator too (in my native language ofc) but i know there's a lot of ppl out there wondering the same thing too. Like why it's suddenly become a "competition"? See the pattern? u notice 1 one from those groups in one manhwa project and then BAAAAM the other 3 followed to upload the same chapter and it's not even the mangago bot that scrapped it from another websites, IT'S THEMSELVES—the one who uploaded it.
So it leaves me wondering? Is it truly just a "competition" of who can translate faster and who can pick up the newest manhwa to boost their engagement, or sum like that?
