I noticed your project is massive compared to the crappy RAW (34.5 MB vs around 10 MB) because your files are set to RGB color, which is the default setting for Photoshop (assuming you use Photoshop), instead of Greyscale.
To change from RGB color to greyscale, go to the top menu, select "Image", then "Mode", and finally Greyscale.
In addition to exporting your B/W images as either 32 or 64-color PNGs, you can also save the color images as jpegs (70 to 80 quality) to further cut down bloat.

I can tell your scans aren't leveled because the blacks aren't completely dark and the text bubbles are all supposed to be white instead of grey. I can clearly see where you whited out bubbles thinking they were white when in fact, they're grey. General rule of thumb is that RAW files always need to be leveled to fix shading discrepancies and you should never have to shade over entire bubbles in white, just the text if your scans are properly leveled
This URL will show you how to properly level scans: http://www.ruinevil.com/rawr/editguide/1.html#3.

One of the biggest problems I see is your text isn't completely black. Instead of doing the proper thing and level your scans, you instead adjusted your font color to match the unleveled scans. That is beyond a rookie mistake, and I've seen plenty of mistakes in plenty of scanlations from people just starting out. 99% of the time, your font should always be 100% black, not 80% or whatever you have your font color set to. Also for some reason, some of your fonts are grey instead of black. Different font colors should never be used to differentiate between regular dialogue and sex moans. I urge you, like I've urged so many other rookie scanlators, to study this forum thread from EHCOVE: https://forums.ehentaihip.cc/index.php?showtopic=68725. Chances are, your translation has issues in addition to your editing. If anybody with Japanese experience wants to chime in on that front, they're more than welcome to.

It's nice to challenge yourself, seeing as this is your first full doujin gallery, but you should at least have a grasp of editing basics before attempting a larger project like this one. Your typesetting is terrible, as you have irregular bubble shapes, non-centered text in a good deal of bubbles, and having punctuation on a separate line instead of completing the previous line, among other issues. Again, that EHCOVE thread is a library of editing and translating resources that if most people took the time to learn the basics and apply them to their projects, it would make me, an editor for the Little White Butterflies scanlation group, look not so special after all. But most e-hentai users don't because good scanlations require a lot of hard work, which most people aren't willing to do.

The editing/translating resources and numerous works from established groups such as the Little White Butterflies, Team Koinaka, White Symphony, and RedLantern, which serve as examples on how scanlations are supposed to look, are out there. Good scanlating should be the norm, not the exception on e-hentai.
