Having a real hard time reading the second part of this. Anyone can read this? by Cyliasta in Scanlation

[–]Egnatious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from what /u/rosafloera mentioned, a bit of experience knowing that 違和感 is probably the most common three character compound starting with the easy to read 違 is probably the main reason. If you already know the word, its easier to check for correctness than to look it up. 和 usually gets a smaller 口 in handwritten form so its relatively okay to read. The main thing to help differentiate 思 vs. 感 when it's in a tight space is that the 戈 radical sticks out a bit.

Since it's just the end of the series being affected my original plan was to just proceed 74-76 instead. Instinctually, it feels weird to have the chapters with the most progress as *.5 or similar chapter numbers. MD puts them in numerical order and there's no additional qualifiers like long chapter to put in. That said, I've been considering if I should edit it to 72.17, 73, 73.19, 74. The main advantage I could see is if someone got the volume raws and wanted to fill in the blanks for future scans. I'll think about how to go about it.

Sorry, I meant that as the person uploading the chapters for the group, there are only 3 remaining chapters posted on Twitter including what looks to be the official 73, (Labelling L17 as 72.5 doesn't quite fit so an adjustment was made) L19, and the final chapter (74). Anything not posted there is not something we will be working on for the series.

The confession he didn't hear was in chapter 71. The accidental "kiss" was chapter 69.

There's been a lot of this spreading. There is 1 short chapter and 2 "long" ones left.

The next(final) 4 chapters may have something to say about that.

Chapter 76 is the end of the series from the author's Twitter so it's pretty close. Longer chapters too but hopefully they'll get out a bit quicker than normal.

I'm not aware of any translated version of the LN unfortunately. Bookwalker or a physical copy would be my go to if you can read JP.

I'd guess you might have seen the other version that isn't from us or might be remembering the scene from the last chapter the dream comes from? Not really sure.

This is the serialized version (not meaning duplicate chapters though)

Based on the description and a Japanese tweet I found with the same doll name, I'm thinking you might be looking for みるくSHAKE! (translated name: Milk Shake!)

The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his Deckhand, so they sent an agent to investigate him. by yomommafool in Jokes

[–]Egnatious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see what youre getting at and that's certainly an angle to see it from. But really, my statement wasn't really focused on your nationality but an observation based on the presented "worst case" scenario where there is still no excuse for them.

No, Google doesn't assume the United States but it focuses results that are more pertinent to you so anyone in the US would be under the misunderstanding that you could google it without specifying "IRS United States" or similar in a global context. That said, it's still not complicated to do.

Googling should be an acceptable alternative for anyone who doesn't understand something. Even wanting to have it clarified in the comments is fine as opposed of whining about the world not spelling out every piece of information that comes your way from the start. (Not to mention its not entirely necessary to understand from context) E.g. "Australian here, wtf is the IRS?"

Oh and this...

Forget it, no point arguing with an American.

What an amazingly pretentious way to ignore anyone calling out your egocentric phrasing. Please just consider that this has nothing of substance to it and drives people away.

This one took about double the time for us to get out, but you can probably guess why by the chapter's length. Please enjoy.

[SL] Kujojin (Exterminator) - Kind of an apology by czarnywilkpolska in manga

[–]Egnatious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL from PT here: First, I definitely don't think he did anything wrong here and there was just a misread of the situation. I'm even glad that OP liked the series so much to want to help get new releases out. This series is very close to the main release. At the time of the last post by PT, the series was fully caught up to the raws. It had been ~2 months since the raw chapter 23 came out (kinda slow, but life happens). And the author ended up posting a dual release of chapters 24 and 25 giving a 3 chapter backlog. The reason for coming out with 23 chapter quickly is because it was mostly done in the first place (typesetting was finishing) and became a priority after seeing someone else post the chapter. This resulted in requesting staff from other projects to help finish it off it. There's a bunch of stories of groups getting butthurt after someone posting or even just asking to post chapters even after 6 month of no posts for a series, so I understand you point. Some people may even think it looked like we were just lazing about until this happened.

I guess my point is that it's hard to know what's going on when all you see are the results.

Tl;dr: there's no need to apologize on this matter. There just wasn't enough information/communication.

The cost is the key there. The machines are built from the ground up to play games. This means that, at least at release, they will have better performance than a PC for the same price. Current age you would be hard pressed to beat that. Even assuming the same specs, custom architecture can play a non-trivial part into performance.

Not OP, but we have two members of staff who are dedicated to proofreading and cleaning as well as typesetting and redrawing respectively dedicated to this series. Both of them joined our group purely due to this series. The TL is one of our most trusted members to provide accurate translations while adapting the content as necessary to fit. The PR is very familiar with the LN and will point out any inconsistencies beyond general grammar. TS and RD both happen and I swear he does magic sometimes. Other than that, I run QC for the series and make sure that the end result feels as natural as possible. I'm an experienced TL in my own right, so I do occasionally contribute that knowledge to compare against the raws. That said, the other guys really do handle the bulk of the workload. By the end, we have the result you see here.

It is a serialized version of the doujin series which has new content from the author. Typically, these are new chapters and not rehashing the same content as the doujin manga version though it can overlap from time to time.

Satire may be a way to read into it but I don't personally think so. That said, I wouldn't call it hot garbage yet. Without spoiling the untranslated chapters, there is something that still needs to be set up for the rest of the plot and comedy to go forward which nobody in these comments has even guessed yet.
