I sincerely don't know what's going on. From what I thought, the policy was to at least contact the current scanlators for picking up a series. Now many groups have stepped in after I did only 5 chapters. Of course I could have been faster, but usually what you do is ask to help.
Nah, that’s the dark side of scanlating. For some reason, offering help seems to be avoided like the plague, even if you have recruitment posts/pages up. Many people seem to prefer starting their own group to do a crap job than to join an existing group and get trained on the job.
You even got off lightly, as one of the usurpers seems to be delivering acceptable quality. Imagine an impatient reader throwing a whole bunch of money at a group that does commissions, but they deliver really bad editing with the worst raws imaginable, while you’re sitting on the high quality scans that you made yourself but couldn’t get them edited properly fast enough for free.
