Yaoi scanlation groups take too long???

I download and read yaoi manga. Of course, I TOTALLY APPRECIATE the scanlators work brining all these goodies. Especially for someone who's in a country where the yaoi selection (on the shelves) is NOT EXTENSIVE at all.
I TRULY APPRECIATE IT. Don't get me wrong. But sometimes scanlation of a series can take TOO LONG. Sometimes when a new chapter is released...I had TOTALLY FORGOTTEN about the title because the last release was ...................... A YEAR AGO!!!!
This applies to Groups like Countless Times, Fuschichou, Blissful Sin and MORE. Fujisaki Kou is one of my FAVOURITE MANGAKAs, and MOST of the works are HUNG UP at Countless Times, taking 1/2 a year or MORE between RELEASES 😕 I'll be DEAD by the time they FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then once scanlators have CLAIMED that project, they'd BARK if someone else took over...so like or not.....we fans HAVE to WAIT and SUFFER!!!! I'm getting SICK OF THIS.
I APPRECIATE your EFFORT, but PLEASE don't BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll only FRUSTRATE YOURSELVES, and US READERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you feel you're already severely overloaded, why don't you do yourselves (and us readers) a favour............and ASK SOME OTHER GROUP TO HELP finish it.
I DONT THINK ANYONE SHOULD EVER BE EMBARASSED TO ASK FOR HELP!!!!!!
Look at fantastic groups like Attractive Fascinante, and Fantasy Shrine. KUDOs to Kashinosei and Jeleona (founders) for managing so well, and NOT KEEPING US HANGING!!!!
And I actually really DON"T LIKE IT when a certain group claims to scanlate exclusively for a particular MANGAKA...this means that other scanlation groups, whom may be FAR MORE EFFICIENT, will LAY OFF scanlating that particular mangaka's works................so........if THAT mangaka happens to be your FAVOURITE MANGAKA...........TOUGH LUCK....like it or NOT....................................................you're stuck with THAT GROUP to bring you YOUR GOODIES (even if it takes YEARS!!!!!)
I KNOW I'M NOT ....DEFINITELY NOT.......THE ONLY ONE who feels THIS WAY!!!!!!! You guys...if you AGREE with me...REGARDLESS if you're reading yaoi / yuri / hentai / shounen/ shoujo or whatever............................if you feel this WAY..SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, let me REITERATE.....I APPRECIATE...YES I REALLY DO APPRECIATE.....NO JOKE!!!!!.............Seriously THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH for bringing me...US.... the YAOI GOODNESS....but please.....you MUST BE FAIR to us readers. How would YOU FEEL if YOU were kept hanging 😕 😕 😕
PLease consider.
THANK YOU
Well, concidering that there's heaps of yaoi
out there, just read many at the same time.
They are all the same anyway. Just some
super drama going on all the time and no
real plot. 🤣
Many other genres take a long to time
get released as well. Actually, all good stuff
takes a long while, but I won't blame anyone
for the speed, since I wouldn't want to redraw
for 8 hours either, but people should
scanlate stuff that is actually good
and less mainstream oriented.

I can understand you completely sigh Kind of unwritten rule among the groups, who pick it up first, they 'own' it. But still, I have no right to blame them, since scanlating isn't such an easy job and they do it for free. What we can do, just.... to wait or starting to learn japanese (like me 😀 )
Blissful Sin is getting better recently, they bring out regularly their releases , Dangerous Pleasure is also very good .
Well, patience is virtue 😉 😃
