Lost motivation half-way to finish and dress up the little things.

My apologies, hopefully the rest is still enjoyable.

All I can say is, I will try to do my best next time to either clean and polish up the next doujin I translate, or not bother and make it look as good as I can. With that said:

This came out yesterday. Like, why do you even bother?

I swear, 90% of the shit you put out is low effort spam other people have to fix after you go through it. Your translations aren't even accurate half the time.

people continue to eat up low effort TL

Let me rephrase:

Hey there, cutegyaru. Good job with *your* galleries, lots of good work, great.

What I don't really like is that you offer no corrections, no constructive advice, and are seemingly just getting your friends or people you know to upvote your comment and dogpile me.
Like yeah, we get it, you *think* you're good, and I don't think anyone disagrees.

I'd tell you to maybe adjust your attitude, but I know that's pointless. I'll continue to exist and do translations because that's what I like doing when I have spare time, and I'll probably continue to make mistakes. Never said I was a good translator, won't ever proclaim that I am. This was picked up as a hobby and will continue to be a hobby for me.

I will say that I'll try to work harder on translations and polishing and fixing up. Is that what you want to hear? Most likely not, you didn't strike me as that kind of person considering what I've read around.
And that's fine, you can stay that way if you like.

I'll keep doing my thing, you keep doing yours, whatever that is.

Edit: Cooler head prevailed.

I really don't understand how you think hiding behind the "it's just a hobby" argument relieves you of actually putting in effort or improving.

You've been at this for how long now? And yet you STILL can't seem to level pages. https://e-hentai.org/g/2610380/c5772b252b/
Or how you just seemingly give up in the middle of a page and just say "Fuck it, I'm not going to translate this lol."

That doesn't take any constructive criticism to improve on.

Doing it as a hobby means that you are doing it during your spare time, yes; so what's with the rush to release something like this? This literally released yesterday. You replaced half of the SFX but you did in the most lazy and half-assed way. And somehow saying you "lost motivation halfway" makes it justifiable to push on and finish this even more half-heartedly? Again, what's with the hurry if it's just a hobby? All that shows me is that you don't actually have any standards when it comes to this "hobby" of yours. In that case, why are you even bothering with this then?

"I will say that I'll try to work harder on translations and polishing and fixing up." These are completely empty words as far as I'm concerned, when you literally haven't shown that you are physically capable of improving. You have the editing ability of someone who's started doing this a week ago max and somehow you've done 50+ things over the span of years and stayed at this level. You don't bother redrawing, have terrible font choice, and your leading is horrendous. If you can't even identify your own obvious shortcomings, no amount of constructive advice is going to magically help you improve.

>I will say that I'll try to work harder on translations and polishing and fixing up. Is that what you want to hear?
It's not what I want to hear. It's what I want to see. I don't have much to add to Kyuume's comment.

You've been at it for longer than I have and yet you clearly haven't tried to improve one iota. I'll gladly have you show me wrong, though.

>Most likely not, you didn't strike me as that kind of person considering what I've read around.
I'm like one of the only people on this godforsaken site trying to push others to improve. I share scanlation resources all the time. You don't know what you're talking about, but we already established that.

Speaking of resources, here's some (I know you won't read them and I'm pretty sure I've shared those with you before. You apparently can't stay "motivated" for more than 5 minutes a day.)

General: https://quicksandscans.wordpress.com/resources/
Typesetting: My usual guide's broken, unfortunately. Generally: you have too much leading (the space between lines) and your fonts suck. Here's better suggestions for catch-all fonts: Spinner Rack BB, CCVictorySpeech, Wild Words, Richards Starkings.
Redrawing: https://web.archive.org/web/20150421210157/http://www.redhawkscans.com/showthread.php?7057-Rain-s-Redraw-Tutorials (also check out Firefly for Photoshop)
Basic cleaning/leveling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PANrCwHy630
Translation: I can't teach you Japanese, but you CLEARLY need to take a step back and do some Anki and grammar study.

If I were a translator and people kept bitching to me how I suck, I would find myself another gig, because sooner or later people will just avoid reading it anyway.
