Someone said the last page was the editors shading other editors, is it true? Do y'all really have beef over a book?

    *uploaders, not editors since they are basically just uploading Lezhin translations for us broke bitches out of pure generosity*

    Not sure if it is meant for other uploaders or some readers, but basically this uploader believes that one should wait at least a day before uploading onto illegal websites to allow time for people to buy official translations. Thus (s)he put Back To School series on hold so that the author can have a chance to earn more money from impatient readers. He/she criticizes some other uploaders who, in taking over Back To School, quelled her plan and accuses them of taking advantage of uploads to promote their instagram for fame.

    Many readers became furious about this and started spouting epithets at TinyTokyo, calling TT a hypocrite, completely forgetting that we are indebted to TinyTokyo since we do not pay a dime to read the manhwa. In their opinion, stealing is stealing, and it makes no difference whether we wait or not. This argument holds some water, but it ignores discounting factor of impatience in one's decision to consume. Readers buy official translation despite the availability of free illegal ones for either one of two reasons: 1. they want to support the author and 2. they are too impatient. If illegal websites upload just as fast, purchasers who fall into the second group will simply not purchase legal translations anymore as they have no incentive to do so.

    That being said, I don't know if waiting one day before uploading will make much of a difference (one week will most likely do, but one day is pretty short imo), but I respect the uploader's decision, and am grateful.

    Since there are both readers and uploaders who got offended by TT, I don't know if the last page in chapter 65 is aimed at the uploaders who fought back, or the readers who disagreed with the TT's philosophy.

    I mean, is it that hard to wait for a week? Don't they got anything else to do? I can understand if there's a cliffhanger to it, but can't we all be generous and grateful that we're basically reading these illegally. This should be some sorta punishment for us . Also, wlhow king did it take you to type this out?

    For a popular series like this yeah it's pretty hard lol. A week is almost an update's wait time. TinyTokyo uploads a chapter for this series after approximately 24 hours since its first release though. Some uploaders upload the chapter immediately. TT also chooses to put some less popular series on hold but then someone else took over the series apparently, which angered TT.

    Readers should be more respectful to TT if they don't want this series to stop updating honestly. Most of the mean comments are from the anon army. Mangago should not allow anon comments anymore. They are getting toxic.

    Took me about 5 mins ish LOL.
