No one is stopping you from using MTL for your personal enjoyment.

Just as no one is forcing you to upload it and ruin it for everyone else.

You chose to do this. You are an asshole. Own it.

huh? I don't understand being upset at MTL. MTL is better than not having any translation, it's fast, and gives you a good enough idea. I have zero idea what this is supposed to ruin, for me, it's helpful.

also, this one looks like good quality. so why even be upset? thanks OP

If there's one thing I'm upset is with the tags, there is no gender morph here, the character starts as a woman and there is no linear nor flashback transition.

And an MTL doesn't stop anyone from paying for a proper translation. Only the freeloaders that don't want to pay for translations get upset over an MTL.

@Ascote I could have sworn that the gender morph/change tag extends presence if the morph happened in a previous work. It originally happens here https://eh-proxy-cn.pages.dev/s/846633e83f/3567958-114

It seems like every defense of MTL boils down to "It's good enough for me, it should be good enough for you."

@IngmarS While I agree that a lot of MTLs do ruin the chance of a work getting a proper translation, there does become a point where a work is almost guaranteed to never get a proper translation. Should people be forced to not ever see a work in English for the sole reason that MTLs are bad? I would love for every work to be properly translated but it’s just not realistic. At some point, it should be fair for a work to get an MTL translation. I’d argue it does better than leaving it there anyways since at least the work will get a shot at being seen again and maybe even get a proper translation.

Now, do I think the less than 4 month gap between the posting of the original work and this MTL is too little? Me personally, I’d say so, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the work may have all been abandoned by any wannabe translator.

If you really can’t stand MTLs that much then either block the rough translations tag or pay for the translation yourself.

Also… at least they’re being honest about it.

The thing is, anyone can do a shoddy LLM translation with a push of a button. Anyone can do it at their own leisure. It's like having a gallery of answers for arithmetic problems. Nobody posts the results they get on their calculator every time they need to add or multiply something.
And being honest is not an excuse or extenuation. "Yes, I did shit on the floor. Don't like it? I don't care, deal with it". If a person does this in a public space, they're fined, kicked out and barred from entry again.
