i have this conspiracy theory that authors/editors who don't have the money or time to take legal action against translators will repost a translation on websites where they can easily take it down, eg Instagram, or MTL 20 chapters and dump it in an attempt to wear translators down lol.
also... i use novelupdates and followed this account, does anyone know the name of the novel that was being translated on here? It just shows "0 works", so I have no idea which novelupdates page to follow, or which webpage I need to look up to MTL it for myself.
