Yes, I have been notified about this.
Apparently, there’s a patreon that’s stealing my works and he is doing a really bad job at hiding that they are not mine.
I have a lot of quirks in my translations and I changed a few names to make them easier to the tongue, so there’s a lot of easy ways to find out if they are mine. Not only that, it is clear from the english in his actual posts and announcements that his english is not good at all. The level is just not congruent with the material he is apparently translating.
And it seems I am not the only victim, as that patreon is also taking the chapters of UchiMusume.
I won’t stop you from searching for the site, since hey, it is extremely easy to find in google, but I won’t be posting it here.
In any case, this post was simply to raise the awareness that things like this are actually happening, and it is a complete insult to the people that work so hard in those translations.
If the person stealing that job is reading this, STOP. The translating community is small in web novels to begin with, and what you are doing will not only insult all that hard work, it will destroy that motivation as they see how someone is utilizing their work in such a dirty and unethical manner, not only that, it will make new aspiring translators feel reluctant to take the chance.
Don’t be the one that destroys the chance for this community to grow.
Well, I was already planning on opening a Patreon page myself, so I thought this was a good opportunity.
THIS is my actual patreon site: https://www.patreon.com/isekaitranslations
Right now there’s not much, since it is a page 100% for support.
If you guys have any suggestions in rewards and goals, feel free to give them. I would love to hear them out.

Have you talked to Patreon about this?
Ten to one they have stuff in their TOS about using their service for illegal things, and stealing someone else's translation is entirely illegal. If you got his Patreon shut down, he'd definitely feel it.
Also, it might well be worth throwing a line or two into your translations like 'Posted on isekailunatic.com', so if he just copy/pastes, his audience will have a chance to see the truth.
When I check the page it was already dead.. Probably he also dead too..
Dam can't believe ppl have the audacity to steal someone's work and try to profit off of it. Thanks for raising my awareness and thanks for all the work you put in.
What a SHAMEFUR DISPRAY !!!..
VICTORY FOR THE HORDE !
... Oh. Sorry, I wanted to say "The patreon of this thief has been deleted."
SCREEE-I mean, yay.
So that was real? that's shocking!
he has changed the name of his patreon in order to avoid our horde here is the new page to report https://www.patreon.com/TskNovelist
.............Wow.

It's so audacious I'm actually a little speechless.

Keep up reigo senpai, we will always support you.
I feel the same too. He should be reported and banned from patreon.
his new page is down along with all "his content"
VICTORY FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. Just changed again.
Now the person is calling whistle-blowers terrorists and is planning to take patron down by the end of the month for some other way to milk this scam.
whats his new name so we can spam report it
Here is a new one: BetterTogether
He creating Greedy
Seriously? It's called Greedy?
I don't think he's smart enough to be self-aware, so is this really a bad translation coincidence?
No idea. I am rofl literally when i saw the page
