id like an invite to their discord whenever they reopen. :)
I would also appreciate an invite to their discord so that I can support them
Good stuff. There's been a lot of misinformation and finger pointing floating around the comments section and they're all from people who aren't even from the discord server.
thank you so much for clarifying! i’ve been a bit confused about this situation for a while but now i understand :(
I would like to join the discord too!! ^^
I’ll send y’all a dm once they reopen the invite link :)
You just said everything I was thinking and pretty damn well!the absolutely shameless uploaders and some ppl commenting really think highly of themselves, as if Sawateam owes it to them to upload their work and risk getting caught
I'd love an invite too :) thanks for the hard work !
Hi Arae,
I would love to get their discord too if possible. I support reading translations directly from discord groups and was quite sad when I couldn't find theirs a while back.
like everyone else here, i would love to get an invite when they open :D thank you!
If possible, I would be interested in the discord invite link as well. I am already in a lot of other discord groups where they scan and present free manhwa and other scans so I entirely respect rules and privacy.
Could i get a link too? (・∀・)
Oh I see, no wonder there's such a lock down on sawateam. I'm really sorry but if it's possible, can I get an invite? If not, thanks for informing us about the situation!
lol y'all are wasting your time waiting for the invite. their discord has been locked for months with no invite available to enter, no wonder people are frustrated. dont waste your time, i guarantee they will never reopen for y'all to join, especially with this latest situation happening.
Id love the link when they reopen too :3
Nope that’s not true, I joined their discord around June and as I said in my post, the invite link was open from then until mid August when they closed it due to Korean authors cracking down on scanlation groups but it was reopened after a week or 2. And now they’ve closed it again due to the posting of their translations. They’ll probably reopen it after this drama dies down but who knows when that’ll be. Please stop spreading misinformation.
If you had trouble joining their discord it's probably because you tired an expired link. I believe the invite link automatically refreshes every day or so but I’m not too sure.
I’d love an invite too!
Could I also get the invite link when they reopen?
Since so many people are confused on what’s going on let me try to clear it up.
Sawateam is the group translating TJOAVW which you can find on their discord for free. One of the few things they ask for is be respectful and not post their translations anywhere else.
A little over a week ago someone ripped their translations of another licensed manwha ( Masked Woman) and posted them on bato.to. Then not even day later someone ripped the translations of TJOAVW (and even took off their credit pages) and also posted them on bato.to. They’ve had multiple issues with this in the past so understandably they were upset which made them shutdown their entire site and haven’t uploaded anything since. They’re trying to make ripping things from their site more difficult before reopening but who knows how long they’ll take.
Idk why many comments are saying that you have to pay to read their translation, YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY I would know since I read it on discord without paying them a single dime. They used to accept donations on a completely VOLUNTARY basis which they used to buy raws, no one in the group profited from the donations. But that's no longer the case because a lot of people complained.
They had open invites for the longest time, they're not picking and choosing but they recently closed it due to a sudden influx of people coming in and it was getting hard for them to moderate but they’ll reopen it again in time.
There seems to be this general consensus that if sawateam drops TJOAVW another translating team will pick it but that’s NOT true! TJOAVW is officially a licensed manwha which you can find on tappytoons but they’re way behind (they’re in chapter 56). The majority of translating teams drop works that have been officially licensed because of the possible legal trouble. Sawateam is taking a HUGE risk by continuing to translate this because if the author finds out about them they won’t just get C&D letters they can possibly get fined! If sawateam drops this it is very likely that no other team will pick it up.
Seriously, I don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to be nice and not repost.
*Sorry if there's multiple reposts I was having a hard time posting anything
