I read the first Scum Villain's Self-Saving System volume before Grandmaster and the translation was solidly decent, which is why I was so caught off-guard by how bad the latter's translation was. So far, none of the three MXTX translations are as good as the translations of non-danmei C-novels that I've read, but the other two aren't anywhere as bad as Grandmaster. So it might be worth checking them out from the library, or even buying if cheap used volumes are available.
I'm hoping to really dig into Seraphina this weekend. I know multiple folks who have really enjoyed it, and even from the little I've read, I think I will too!
