I'm so disappointed. Stephen's translations where the only ones worth reading. I tried reading other fan-translations, but they leave much to be desired… and it wouldn't be the first time I would loose interest in a series because my favorite translator dropped.
I really wish he would reconsider... he was a boon. And, after a while... One Piece was the only thing he was translating, was it really THAT much trouble to get out 1 chapter script a week or so? I'm just bothered that he would just all of a sudden stop after 10 years. If not to translate for himself... think of all the fans dependant on his work.
Yeah, it might sound like I'm being selfish or something, but is just how I feel.
I do thank him for all the effort he's done so far, though. I really appreciate it and I most likely wouldn't have read up to current if it weren't for him.
But, I'm still kinda bitter inside.
