I can't find the apparently complete set of volumes anywhere or any scanlators who did this?

also I find it super weird when these obscure manga get super bad ratings when in fact lots of the volumes weren't even released outside of japan (meaning people couldn't have even read it in the first place showing that the ratings might just be troll votes)

It got translated up to Chapter 77 more than a decade ago. (MangaDex)
But no one picked it up to finish the few last chapters , let alone the 2 additional Volumes.

There is definitely trolls/liars , but there is also quite a lot of peoples who can read Japanese , or just straight up live in Japan.
And it did got translated , anyway.

As for the score , MAL use weighted scores. So with only this few members , it gets dragged down quite by a lot.
If you look at the rating distribution , you can see that most peoples think it's fine. (06-07/10)

The most common critic i've seen about this Manga is that the story starts really strong and hook most readers , but gradually gets sided , making the readers bored.

This is probably a bad example since it turns out I was wrong and this was indeed partially translated, but I have seen a few listed series I can't remember at the top of my head, very obscure series I found while browsing at a glance at mal, with extremely low ratings but no comments or any reviews, and when I try looking up information about the series I can't find anything outside perhaps a japanese page entirely in japanese.
so it always astounds me these series just instantly get super low ratings, even if it has a few members only, it doesn't make sense for them to consistently have all extremely low scores, even if the small number of japanese people that use this site(which according to site statistics not really much) doesn't add up.
