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.

If you do a find text on page for "reporting suspicious creator pages", it links you to a google docs page.
I'm not sure if it'll actually work, but if a bunch of us submit we can probably get that patreon shut down.
you should flag his patreon for stealing your work
Imagine an arrow hitting the guy and loose the arrow
hah I really wish the world wasn't so scum ridden...
It's time for hunting boys
can i destroy that website? dont worry ill take the blame. that thief should be punish throughly
he doesn't seem to have his own website, just a patreon page... c'mon don't attack patreon, it's like suing emulators for piracy :P
id rather attack him, by removing some part of the story the reig senpai worked so for it or edit say things like "i like to copy/edit and earn money like poops trolololol!!!"
i dont mean to atk the patreon, i mean try to atk that person personal info from finding it through the patreon
Again, let's not resort to personal attacks here.
....fuck that shameless plagiarist, though.
you're a black hat ?
people are seriously awful.. why don u pick the new light novel and translated urself.... Senpai. no matter what happen.. I will only support u.. ^^ so keep up the good work.. ~
Reblogged this on Moriah Clan Headquarters and commented:
Utterly disgusting how some pigs think they can steal another persons hard work and then profit from it.
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
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 :

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.
