I had no idea that this was something people were paying for online already translated, but if I'd found it online and had been interested enough to pay for it, I would have been pissed when I saw that it was censored. So yeah, hopefully they take it down so that the author can be happy, but now I know exactly what I'm not going to be buying.
complaining about piracy on the internet is kind of a moot point.. I mean, where do you draw the line? Have you never streamed a movie online, watch a tv show or downloaded a song? It's tough to reproach people online for doing things like this and you're just going to end up getting negative comments.
Personally, I would say the uploading here is probably working in favour of lezhin. They must have gotten a lot of new coins/subscriptions from the audience here at mangago, judging by the comments I've seen on some of the other webtoons that were uploaded. I didn't even know that Lezhin was a site with BL until I saw the comics here - So the uploads here are definitely working as positive advertising too.
Now that you've mentioned it, about the "advertising"(?) that mangago and other do, maybe you're right. I learned about many authors and stories thanks to this scans. I just hope that more comics could be updated in sites that support the authors without forcing people to spend money every time (u know the site Tapastics?)
Anyway, maybe I just wanted to complain to somebody and have someone to make me feel less despicable for reading online ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
If it makes u happy, i I can tell you that I have about 300 manga in my bedroom. I have temporarily stopped buying them because I have no room for them and because I'm broke.
Also, I usually read here because many translations are good while in my country many suck. Also, because of the bad translations in my native language, I started buying them in English but u know, while in my country they cost 6-8€, the other cost about 10-15€
Oh, lets not forget that many works don't get translated neither in english or my language, so where can I buy them?
Happy now? (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
Ok i'm glad this is now online for free and all but can i say that i'm a bit upset about it? I used my money to buy this chapters and support the author so i'm not so happy to see it on the internet for free... pls support the author if I can or he could drop it if the comic doesn't have enough readers..
