Ah man, sorry to see this happen. This is why I post when I start on projects - to prevent this kind of thing from happening so people can notify me if someone is already working on them. If I knew you were already working on a by-hand TL, I would have dropped it and started work on something else. To be fair though, I missed your
previous post and would have DM'd you first asking if you were going to or not. I still think you should finish it though, as a faithful manual translation will always be the best option that many will surely appreciate (And you're so close already!).
If it's any consolation, I had something similar happen with DREAMLAND a few months ago - a much, much bigger project. It sucks. It's why I post publicly what I'm working on now.
