Sad that Mx0 got axed...

This week, our member Viki.kdrama is wondering if you would start a series that has already been cancelled (whether that be after 10 chapters or 100 chapters). It's like how Netflix cancels a lot of their shows only after a season or two, but would you still watch that show?

You have a favorite season? You prefer snow or the beach?

Wow, I was thinking more like 50/50, but this is pretty lopsided

This week's poll was suggested by Karonhioktha. Most series take place in the country of origin (manga in Japan, manhua in China, manhwa in Korea, etc.), so what other real world locales should be represented instead?

Previous Poll Results:

Question: Scanlator is starting to translate a completed series that has lots of extra side content sprinkled throughout the story. They should...

Choices:

• Translate in order of release regardless of main story vs. side content - votes: 1365 (72.9%)
• Prioritize the main story then go back and translate the extras - votes: 508 (27.1%)

There were 1873 total votes. The poll ended: June 7, 2025

Many people pointed out that the side story tends to be only relevant whenever it was released. Without context, a side story tends to be meaningless

This week's poll was suggested by our member AUOdere. If a scanlation group is picking up a series that is already completed in the original language and it has a lot of extra content sprinkled throughout the series, should they prioritize the main story first or keep everything chronological?

Dang, 11% of you use a smartphone that's older than 6 years? I guess you don't use apps

This week's poll was suggested by Miss Gradenko. How old is your smartphone, assuming you use one? My current one is almost 1 year old. I had my previous one for about 5 years (replaced mainly because the battery could barely last half a day)

You guys read a lot...

This week's poll was suggested by our member 8-3. How many series are you currently regularly reading? You can define "regularly" as whatever you like, as some series only have a new chapter every month. Or maybe the scanlator is just slow and releases even slower than that...

Question: Do you prefer reading a completed or ongoing series?

Choices:

• I only read completed series - votes: 228 (8.6%)

• I don't care - votes: 842 (31.8%)

• I only read ongoing series - votes: 23 (0.9%)

There were 2650 total votes. The poll ended: May 17, 2025

I guess that's preference, but how many of them are actually completed vs. ongoing? With TV shows, at least there's a known schedule for the current season. With scanlations, who knows when the group will translate the next chapter? Or maybe they'll just drop the series?

This week's poll was suggested by our member Miss Gradenko. Do you have a preference in terms of reading a series that's already completed vs. ongoing?

Question: How should SFX be handled?

Choices:

• The original should be replaced with a translation SFX - votes: 626 (36.8%)
• A translation should be placed next to the original - votes: 445 (26.2%)
• A translation should be in the margins - votes: 470 (27.7%)
• SFX shouldn't be translated at all - votes: 158 (9.3%)

There were 1699 total votes. The poll ended: May 10, 2025

I believe the last time we did this poll, more people preferred leaving the original SFX present and putting a translation somewhere else
