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.

(＿_)＿) For all the hard work!!
It's not only the paetron thief but there are also those aggregator thiefs that is profiting from your translation. And there's 11 of them and counting.
aggregator thief ? what kind is that ?
Just think of something like mangafox but for novels and they're profiting from unblockable ads.
It's many huh...
0.0...
and that person even ask for $1000 for a chapter !? that person really need to be oblitared by makoto's arrow
probably another 3rd-worlder(inb4 das racist) who thinks anyone who speakers da engrish must be rich....
Good Luck Reigokai.
We will support you, always.
hey truck-kun, does any of your cousin work as black hat ? if there is, can ask them to atk that person ? :3
I don't personally know any black hat.
..... but my tentacles can reach the deep web and I'm sure some are lurking there, willing to do it. With a hefty sum.
We should react more professionally, my friend. Yes, that guy's a thief, but attacking him personally like that won't change anything. It'll pester him at most, but I'm sure he will find another way to overcome it.
We have to be more 'thorough' when dealing with this kind of criminal.
Professional...Overcome...Thorough...
Sorry, I can't tell. Is that a yes or no for the sniper plan?
If it's a yes, I know a guy.
If it's a yes, I'll be the guy.
My assassin motto would be "You will be missed, just not by me."
Can I use that motto for an sniper character of mine?
By all means. :)
Pitchforks and torches my friend pong!
ugh, some people really have the nerve to this kind of things.
it's more like this kind of thing definitely fit in "utterly idiotic" thing to do
Oh good(?), so it's confirmed that the work is being blatantly stolen.
.....
.....
People are awful.
Hey, it's not all bad. Thanks to that thief, I now know about Uchimusume! Thank you Reigokai, now I have another source for my sugar-vomit I.V.!
Thanks to it,=> thanks to reigokai post=>thanks to your ref Uchimusume=>'Usagi Drop stuff' random comments => Onichichi => Hentai => Profit!!!!
Can you report or flagging their Patreon? I don't know about Patreon policy, but as long as their content is not an original content, this can be a violation of policy in Patreon.
You can report him here :

For Patreon policy :

As for me, I believe this kind of action enter "Fraud" and "Intellectual Property" as he's claiming to be the one doing those translation.
For proof, you can read the chapter 182 (still on "public") : It's the same chapter.
