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
