>Are they actually making it from scratch for no reason?
Surprisingly, yes. There's a discord for the translation group Monmusu Quest! they've been translating it since the November 1st 2024 release.
In a week it will have been a year, the translation is 30% though the Monster/Angel world routes.
Chaos route is unironically 5x bigger than both Monster and Angel route combined. They're not finishing it for at least 5 years. The translation quality is good and there's nothing wrong with downloading their translation and then applying the machine translation to translate the japanese they haven't reached.
