I read all of Death March earlier this year since I'm taking over the series for Yen Press, and was also pleasantly surprised by how into I got.
I feel like a lot of narou stuff is imitative, with authors trying to write what is popular, and Death March certainly has some obvious influences, but there's a specificity to it that makes you feel like he's just writing exactly what he always wanted to read. And I feel like that enthusiasm for his own story helps elevate everything.Did you do the translation for Death March volume 23? I'm sorry to say the quality for that volume was much lower than for 1-22.
It had continuity errors, mixed-up characters, wrong skill names, and some very awkward prose. If you check out Amazon reviews you'll see a lot of complaints about this.
If you're part of a new team, then I'll keep my fingers crossed that Yen learned something from 23, even if they haven't fixed it.

Vol 23 and Vol 24 are translated by different people. Jade Willis and Andrew Cunningham, respectively. If you lookup @doceirias' profile, you'll see that he at least claims to be the latter.

@unknownmat - thanks, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it won't be a repeat of volume 23. @doceirias actually reading the older volumes is a hopeful sign.

The problems with 23 were pretty obvious, but I did send Yen Press my assessment of it and a link to the Death March subreddit thread on the volume. Any fixes beyond that are out of my hands.
