"the discussion is turning into a manipulative dialogue of either:
1. Update the series, circumstances and real life be damned
2. Give up the series"
Literally nobody here is doing this, nor is anyone "fishing for people to back them up" unless you literally are drmario there's no reason to get so pissy about people simply asking about a series and then thinking about alternative ways to keep reading while drmario is busy, also you haven't seen Darui's work so no you can't say the quality would not be "satisfactory"
Ok if you are not going to even read past posts to see for yourself whatever someone is pressuring scanlators or not, you shouldn't be responding or actively defending anyone. I let it slide the first time, but you did it again.

What's the deal no one continuing translation?
That doesn't really sound too pleasant. Something like "Is this series dropped?" would be much better, but even if you don't find this one offensive then...
Yikuph posted:
If the current group won't continue translating they should let everyone know it's okay to continue. So anyone can pick it up the translation.
That is blatant pressuring group to either hurry up and drop it so someone else can work on it. And especially not good coming from someone who don't even want to pick it up, but rather just want to read more for free. Also remember we kinda have a rule against pestering groups about new releases etc. but if you don't think that count...
Yikuph posted:
Not pressuring, I simply want to know if they gave up translation already or are they going to make me wait another half year for another chapter.
...then this one should have you cover. Sure. Totally not complaining and pressuring scanlators at all.

Okay that's pressuring (not what I intended) but it's not that fucking rude, stop being a prude ass. It's reasonable for reader to wonder what happen with translation especially series this good and the raw is gotten so far. Again I am not trying to get disrespectful to the translator. I'm just casual reader wondering what happens with translation.
Yea, not rude at all, except it was. You don't know what "prude" means. You (and Rosenakahara) are right. It is reasonable to politely ask for any update on series. But you weren't polite. You actively pushed for group to either respond saying they will hurry up or drop series on the spot so someone else can work on it, so you don't have to wait longer for it and read it as soon as possible. That is pretty ungrateful and inpatient of you.
So Rosenakahara next time you try to defend anyone, at least read what they actually posted, because Yikuph is doing exactly what Meursault said, while being totally blind to how entitled they were acting.
Except I did read the last posts, I just disagree that this was in any way pressuring, pressuring would be akin to constantly sending emails asking where the next chapter is instead of asking on a public forum what's going on with the series and then simply defending their position when they get accused of "pressuring" the translator, not everything is a personal attack against someone.
Yikuph also only resorted to language that could be seen as aggressive after they were accused of pressuring too which while not the right move it's understandable why they did so, secondly what they said is perfectly rational to assume that after 6 months of 0 updates that the person working on it had dropped it, there are several posts above that one asking what's going on and manga being dropped suddenly is more common than people would like so while they were mistaken in that assessment thinking it had been dropped asking for what they did wasn't worthy of this much ire.
Thirdly I really don't like how condescending this whole post is you're acting like I only defended what Yikuph was saying and Darui because I was uninformed, did you ever consider that just maybe I have a different opinion than you on what is considered "pressuring"?
When we ask for an update we mean some sort of post saying what's happening here, don't need any personal details life happens just something instead of dead silence hearsay recovered only from the discord
