natto that is a funny comment because some translations here are barely better than MTL, the difference between the quality is like heavens and earth when comparing some work, like how RTW early chapters when it was on Volare and the earliest chapter when it first got on qidian (I forgot the numbers, was it around chapter 280 or so?) . Now it's okeish
That said I kind of agree with you on the prices of patreon... that one time I checked it out for IRAS back when it was on Volare I almost spat out blood at seeing 50 bucks for 10 chapters, that's a Tazmo level of greedy for a supposedly passion project
Hence I'm relatively happy with the current model, "relatively" because it could be so much worse and I knew from the start that hoping it would stay free would only be a pipe dream
