Anyone interested in forming a Lezhin/Renta sharing circle?

I wanna buy more BL but I also don't wanna betray my wallet.
Basically what I'm proposing is that a few of us who're actually *buying* chapters on Lezhin or Renta. Then we can just share comics among the group (without publishing it on sites 'cause #copyrights).
So for example, if 3 of us want are interested in the latest chapter of a certain manhwa that either hasn't been posted on mangago or some other site, we can take turns buying the new chapters instead of each of us individually buying all of the chapters.
Or, let's say someone already has a couple chapters of a series everyone else wants to read; meanwhile we all get interested in a new manhwa. The person who supplied the first series doesn't have to buy chapters for the new manhwa for however many chapters he/she supplied.
Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this, feel free to ask if you're interested >.<

Essentially we're trading chapters with each other. If you stop contributing or aren't pulling your weight, you get "kicked out."
And before someone says, "That's not supporting the artist!", I like to think otherwise. We are *buying* the chapters after all, and say these were physical books. Since we aren't planning to publish any of the chapters, I see it as no different than passing and sharing a book among friends.

So far no one's in the circle though. Just me. Trying to cheat my way into more chapters of King's Maker and find people to talk about more obscure manhwas with ='D
But if anyone's interested, I can list off chapters of stuff I have that's not posted off of Lezhin.

As for requirements, it's not too strict. You just have to prove you actually bought a chapter of something and be willing to take screenshots of every panel. And not publish it.
I'm planning to just make a folder in google drive where we can all dump our screenshots.

(Not limited to Lezhin or Renta; if you have any other paid manga, digital or physical, that can't be found via the internet, it's fair game)

    I hate writing long paragraphs, I always feel like I catch all of my spelling/grammar mistakes but nope. There they are. Slapping me right in the face ='D

    I believe this is a good idea, if everyone cooperates nicely.

    Don't underestimate the level of corruptness people can be. :>
    or maybe ive read too many psychological manga and im just delusional who knows

    Nah I completely get you, that's why I'm practicing caution >.< (doesn't help that I'm mad paranoid)
    My original idea was cohabiting a Lezhin account, but that was just a scam waiting to happen LOL
    It's also why I'm asking for proof that someone owns a chapter (a screenshot of their Lezhin library with the unlocked chapter icon and their username or w/e). Worst case scenario, they bothered to Photoshop it and at most get one free chapter from me/the group before I block'em from google drive. Not that much of a loss (〜 ̄ワ ̄)〜
    Are you maybe interested? =0

    I myself don't have the money to participate so sadly I can't.
    Is there a way to organize it to ensure that each member gets to read the same number of chapters they paid for? I'm assuming if it is a group you are creating then everyone will be able to see everything that's posted...

    I was planning to share it in a way that everyone can see everything posted (and then if someone was just riding on free updates I'd block them from seeing the content henceforth), but if anyone potentially interested doesn't like the idea, I'm down to hear proposals.
    If anything, it could just be a group chat of people looking for trades. ("I have x if anyone wants to trade it for y", then they privately exchange the chapters)
    I just liked the first idea better because it could potentially get people into manhwas they might not have initially been interested in

    Ideally the first idea would be better
    but in such a group there are definitely going to be some that contribute more than others
    and some that take more/less out of it than others


    its really up to you to decide what to do
