Sober Brazilian's Topics (616)

Yeah if I'm paying to read something I don't want a time limit on how long I'm allowed to read it, that's annoying. If Renta had a monthly subscription fee I'd totally go for it though.

yeah the only thing that has me hesitating on renta is that i have to pay more to be able to go back and read chapters
lezhin may be trash but they had a better system so i’ve paid for it in the past
but renta...maybe in the distant future but currently it’s a pass

Its obnoxious. In what world is fair to pay 10$ (5 chapters) for a 48h read?? And Im not even talking about the fact that its only a digital copy. Abusive. If it was a fair price I would spend my wallet there since they have a lot of great mangas while lezhin,tapas and tappytoon only have a few good yaois. Even if I have the money I just dont spend it when I feel Im being robbed.

Saw your comment on the front page. The site you are talking about seems a bit unfair considering the apparent time limit on when you can access the bought webtoon. I buy chapters from Lezhin, and also the EBook version of my favourite mangas, them just comment and discuss them on here. So knowing the price of these formats, where there aren't any restrictions on how long they are available to read, their way of selling does seem a bit greedy, and doesn't seem to be done with the intent of supporting the authors.

Actually it’s $1 for 48hr and $2 for unlimited(no time limit just like Lezhin) for all their regular releases. Also when there’s no option for a 48hr rental, it means it’s an unlimited release. Unlimited is pretty much forever unless the site shuts down which is the same case for Lezhin. Please don’t spread false information.

The only time you’d pay $2 for 48hr is for titles that are worth $3-4 unlimited but that’s only because they are longer releases(usually 50-70 pages).

Examples:

Regular Chapter Release(which is what this manga will be like since the pages are average 25-35pgs)

https://www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm/item/138957/

Longer Chapter Release(not common and much longer 50+)

https://www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm/item/133187/
https://www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm/item/54031/

They do have an unlimited option for their regular releases which is only $2(200 points) and you can rent them 48hr for $1. The OP posted wrong information and misled you. It’s pretty similar to Lezhin actually. Unlimited means there’s no time limit. They also have an app available both for iOS and Android devices. The site is also available internationally, they accept credit cards and PayPal.
I’m sorry if I sound like an informercial but I really dislike when people spread false information.

You can check out their site for yourself if you don’t believe me. They also have coin/point sales every Wednesday.

Please read my reply to this comment thread. This user spread false information regarding how Renta works and I clarified and even included examples. Renta is actually very similar to Lezhin. Their unlimited chapters are only $2 and you only pay once just like Lezhin and you can read them whenever you want. There’s no time limit. There’s only a time limit if you choose the 48hr rental which $1 not $2.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Here’s their site if you’re interested on checking it out for yourself:

Fair enough.

False information? YOU YOURSELF said and linked mangas that cost 2$ for a 48h read. WHEN and WHERE did I ever say that EVERY manga there cost 2$ for 48h read???????????????????? SERIOUSLY I WANT YOU TO QUOTE ME WHEN AND WHERE I SAID ANY LIE HERE, COME ON DO IT. First none that I said is FALSE since we can see that in YOUR links there are plenty of mangas THAT DO COST 2$ FOR 48H READ. I NEVER SAID that EVERY EVERY EVERY EVERY MANGA THERE COST 2$ 48H READ Learn how to read before calling me a liar. So YEAH 2$ for 48h IS INDEED ABUSIVE and it happens there INDEED. It doeSNt matter if it is a 50 pages one its STILL ABUSIVE IMO and IM free to think this way. Also 1$ for 48h in a 30 page one is STILL abusive since in other webtoon sites like LEZHIN you pay less then 1$ for 3 COINS that unlock any chapter FOR EVER. So to Sum things up 1- I NEVER SAID ANY LIE YOUR LINK PROVES IT // 2- 2$ for 48h read IS ABUSIVE NO MATTER WHAT// 3 - 1$ for a 48h read IS STILL ABUSIVE and more expensive than other webtoons sites. So to everyone that is reading this RENTA IS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ANY WEBTOON SITE where you pay less than 1$ to unlock one chapter for ever while in renta you pay 1$/2$ for 48h read or 2$/whatever for unlimited each chapter. You must be out of your mind to come here and call me a liar. GO back to school learn how to read and then see the facts that you linked. I don't know who you are but you dont just go ofending random people calling them liars just because your behind a computer screen. NONE THAT I SAID IS LIE. STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO QUOTE WHERE I SPREAD "FALSE INFORMATION" SAYING THAT EVERY SINGLE RENT CHAPTER FROM ANY MANGA THERE COST 2$. ALL I SAID IS THERE IN RENTA WEBSITE IS WHERE YOU FIND MANGAS THAT YOU MUST PAY 2$ FOR A 48H READ WICH IS TRUE.

Thanks but I already knew all that information as I already have a Renta account and the app on my phone (it's super glitchy and slow though so I don't really use it).

Similar to Lezhin MY ASS in lezhin I pay less than 1$ for 3 coins that can unlock anything for ever while in renta I must pay 2$/4$/whatever for unlimited this is MORE THAN DOUBLE PRICE. So yeah RENTA is WAY more expensive. Btw tappytoon and tapas are even CHEAPER than lezhin so Im not even gonna compare it to renta.

Well the manga and webtoon formats are completely different. 2-3 webtoon chapters are pretty much about 1 manga chapter(give or take), so the prices make sense. I enjoy both formats so I support various artists. Besides I wasn’t comparing the prices between both platforms, I was talking about how the unlimited feature in Renta acts the same as if you were to buy a chapter from Lezhin. I was also correcting the prices you listed because you posted wrong information which could lead others away from supporting the mangaka. Whether you think it’s worth it that’s for you to decide.

I,too buy from Lezhin, Renta, TappyToon, Tapas and even support artists on Patreon. I actually find Tapas to have the best method for earning coins out of all of them especially since it allows others who can’t afford to buy coins a way to earn them and still support the artists. It’d also be nice to see more platforms implement a system similar to Patreon, where it’s a monthly payment/subscription . All these sites have their own pros and cons but I’m not going to delve into it.

My main arguement was you spreading wrong information, that’s all.

My main point was comparing prizes as you can see in my first post where I clearly say renta is a lot more expnsive than others, and Im still waiting for you to quote where I spread wrong information. NONE I said was wrong nor false. In your OWN post we can see there are plenty mangas in renta for 2$/48h read and I NEVER said that every single manga in renta costs that price, I said that on renta website is where there are mangas you must pay for 2$/48h rent to read wich is abusive IMO. Also like I said previously 2$ for unlimited is still more than double price of lezhin's. Btw "2-3 webtoons are pretty much 1 manga chapter"? are you kidding me? Most of them are colored and have like 60 pages each chapter while mangas are black/white with 30 pages, get a clue I just read starry sky for 3 coins on lezhin chapter was super long there were 79 COLORED pages in one single chapter. Whatever you say I never spread false information like you saying I did. Facts are : less than 1$ for unlimited on lezhin // 2$/2$+++ for unlimited on renta or 1$/2$ for 48h rent. If I was saying bullshit/lie here I wouldnt have 19 likes on this post people are not dumb. Be carefull next time you accuse someone of anything read their post with care. Ill say once again NONE I SAID IS FALSE/LIE. Renta is a lote more expensive than any other, and there are mangas there you must pay for 2$/48h rent tho I NEVER said all mangas there cost this price.

You literally said “Renta is where you pay $2 for a 48hr read each ch”. You never clarified it’s only for certain series, which again is not even the majority of Renta’s releases. It was misleading and led others to believe that it applies to all their series and how the site worked. The replies you got from others prove my point.

The reason I said give or take is because I took colored webtoon chapters into consideration. Besides panels and “pages” are not the same thing. You need to educate yourself more on what goes into both webtoon and manga formats. Manga is not just “black and white pages”. There are a lot of panels, patterns, backgrounds, inking etc that go into making one single chapter. Artists of both formats work just as hard and I’m not undermining any of their work. I admit that probably should have found a better way to word my point. Also the reason mangas can be more expensive than webtoons is because webtoon companies like Lezhin and Tapas work directly with the artists. The artists are signed under their companies whereas sites like Renta and even English publishers like Sublime and June Manga have to pay a licensing fee to the Japanese publishing companies that the mangakas are under. Japanese companies are known for having expensive licensing fees which makes it harder and more expensive for English publishers. Hence why they may have to charge more to make back profit because at the end of the day they are businesses. A lot goes into determining how these series are priced.

Whether you choose to buy from Renta, that’s on you. Once again my main issue was that your comment was misleading and spreading false information since what you said doesn’t apply to each chapter like you said in your original comment.

I don’t want to waste any more of my time trying to have a civil discussion with you so this’ll be the last time I reply to your comments. Have a good day :)

"You literally said “Renta is where you pay $2 for a 48hr read each ch”. You never clarified it’s only for certain series" EXACTLY I never clarified its only for certain series NOR that its for ALL series either so why the fuck you went that way?? I only said that on Renta website this happens. As you can see here : https://www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm/item/133187/ you pay for 2$ each chapter just the way I said. If you were mislead thats your own problem not mine. just dont come here in my post saying that I Lied cause is 100% true there are mangas there where you pay 2$/48h rent. Also dont assume the others were also mislead just like you cause youre not in their heads. But yeah thats exactly your mistake you ASSUMED waaayyyy too many things here, things I NEVER SAID. You can say 100 times Im spreading false information and Ill say 101 times that youre the one who got mislead on your own you interpreted what I said the way you wanted and you even proved what I said wich is hilarious LOL you literally proved my "False Information" ty for that LMAO. About the reason why the cost is abusive dont just put the blame it all on "Japanese publishing" Im pretty sure Renta has its share of greed on this dont just cover for them like that. About the "replies you got from others" ???? I didnt get any reply from anyone saying I was spreading false information like you did wtf?? You just assumed things the way you want its surreal and scary. All the crap youre saying that I said l is on your mind none was written by me like " You never clarified it’s only for certain series" yeah and I NEVER clarified it was for EVERY series either. Be really careful from now on so next time you dont accuse people by assuming things on your own. Dont put words in people's mouth.

It’s like paying to borrow every single book you check out from the library, but you can only keep for 2 days Dx where is the logic?!?

Pretty much it LOL, no actually its even worse since its a digital copy its not even the actual book XD

At least with Lezhin if you catch the deals or special events you can practically get whole series for free too. I've just had a lot of issues with the Renta app and site as well that cause me to not want to use it if possible. I mean I can go on Amazon and buy manga through Kindle if I want but still the selection of English titles is limited.

True

I think he meant bc the 'uke' grew, so.... Who knows what sex positions they had before.... XD

wut??
there's no beasts in this manga, tho ╮(￣▽￣)╭

weeell, it's 'cause kuro is a cat haha

ohhhhhhhhhhh, i get it nowwww... wow i feel stupid ╥﹏╥

i think a lot of people just rate every yaoi at 5*s cuz it's BL. Never trust the rating... (づ￣ ³￣)づ

That’s why you gotta read the comments before deciding and the numbers of population rating to evaluate ╮(￣▽￣)╭

wut read the comments before reading the manga is the same as asking for spoilers lol. No way. Btw 1844 voted for this, thats a decent amount imo. But yeah maybe I have a bad taste or something. Whatever.

yeah after being fooled 43343 times I finally learned my lesson.

I think the same. Personally I start out by giving all mangas 3 stars (unless it's a one-shot) and then I adjust the stars up and down depending on how it goes.

Lmao what do you mean? I don’t really get it haha

I meant, that I believe a lot of people give BL's 5 stars no matter what it is. When I start out reading a manga I give it 3 stars. Often you can't judge a manga by the first chapter. Then depending on if the following chapters are terrible or good I will remove or add stars.

Same lol. I don’t give 5 stars for everything. They all vary based on what I think. Like if a manga is so bad and boring, I give it one. If a manga was good for one chapter and not so interesting afterwards. It’s a 3. If in between, it’s a 2. It just varies based on your feelings and tastes and thoughts.

It’s actually good and I like it... If this is about the rape . There was a warning (￣∇￣")

I dont know about other comments but in this one no1 is sayin shit about that rape, plot was cliche , both characters were shallow ( uke was whiny and seme was 100% psycho), in the end they just suddenly jump into bath tub out of nowhere like nothing LOL oh and lets not forget the victm blaming. Just poorly writen IMO. I respect your opinion tho you free to like whatever and dont worry the weird one is me since 1.200(60%) out of 2.000 people rated this as 5 Stars , the perfect manga . LMAO

Tbh, I didn’t like this manga either and only gave 3 stars. Idk why others gave it 5 stars. It was boring as hell and wasnt clear and has no development whatsoever. Was gonna give it a 2 but thought it deserved another star due to the author’s effort ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I stopped halfway tho so it probably got better? Idk. I just don’t wanna take any chances....

Pretty much it.

I think it's just a confusing, weirdly paced story and I honestly don't like any characters. You don't have to call him autistic like that, though. I'm not trying to be uber-offended (I'm on the spectrum) or anything, but it's not even an accurate insult. Anyway, not trying to cause any fuss or anything. I respect your opinion otherwise.

^^^Please ignore me, I regret even commenting. You can say what you want :) I wish you could delete stuff more easily.

I'm on the spectrum and I find this "normal instead of autistic" offensive.

Please don't use autistic to assert stupid people or retard because Its not the same. Its really offensive to autistic people.

I still regret commenting earlier, because I feel like people should be able to say what they want in an open forum (barring disrespectful or harmful comments), and I also felt over-sensitive earlier, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one. It was worse to me that it had so many thumbs up. Anyway, thank you for being firm about this, because I'm super passive and wanted to avoid confrontation, so I appreciate it a ton.

I feel you. I'd rather avoid a confrontation, too. just saw your comment and couldn't help but speak up. it's not right to treat us like that. we deserve respect.

I really appreciate your comment.

You guys are all right, I dont regret anything I said aside from "normal instead of autistic" even tho there are more likes than dislikes I know when I say something that I shouldnt. I apoligize to you it really was ofensive and stupid of me. Replace "normal instead of autistic" for "smart enough instead of dumb af". About some of you being afraid of confrontation I really think you should try to cast this behavior aside,in life you have to speak up for yourselves whenever you feel uncomfortable about something, yes people have the right to express their opinion but you also have the right to express yours if their opinion harmed you in any way. Sometimes youll find people that will understand your point of view and apologize and if they dont at least you said out loud that you were uncomfortable and that alone will make you feel better. I apologize to you again.

Thanks for replying that and for apologizing. I think I'm just used to seeing some comment sections turn into really immature, disrespectful messes, so this whole thing turned out fine. I understood from the get-go you were insulting the character, and not anyone personally, but thanks again.

I am so super appreciative of this chain being handled in a mature way. I do think that it is worth it to speak up, and I'll try to do it more without apologizing for it/trying to back out afterward just to avoid confrontation.

Idk like I get exactly what you mean and I feel the same way, but I also know that when you like someone you let them get away with a lot of more shit because you’re blinded by your feelings. You let them treat you like shit as long as you get stay with them, kinda dumb but it happens all the time

True, I agree with you there are people that go through this kind of situation. About the uke in this story Id say he doesnt even love his "boyfriend" for real but he is just really afraid of being alone he feels lonely by himself thats why he submit himself to that tho Im gonna be honest with you here Im not kind, I dont consider myself evil either but I just cant sympathize with "stupid"(I know it sounds mean, sorry ) people that just let others abuse them like this uke tho I sympathize a LOT with people that were cheated/deceived when they were at least trying not to be. I dont know man maybe I am evil afterall but I just cant relate to "please abuse me however you want for whatever reason" people, they just piss me off not as much as the abusers tho.

Hmmm, idk man. Countries like Japan or even South Korea may not be the most open minded in terms of homosexuality but they do hold a strong sense of brotherhood and therefore males tend to act in a closer manner than other countries. (If that makes sense sorry)

Yep, the whole senpai/kouhai or hyung/sunbae thing, rather you know just calling your pals good cunts or something comes off as odd, just as those who think some friends kissing is this weird thing rather than a laugh. It's a kiss not a proposal, who gives a fuck. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

You know you kinda opened my eyes. Now that I think about out it of all yaois Ive read Ive seen in too many of them this kind of line "XXX-kun is prettier than a girl" "Oh xx-kun face is prettier than a girl" " xx-kun skin is so soft and smooth" and they not always come from girls sometimes they come from buddies too. Yeah you right its somewhat like this : over there (japan/korea) prejudice against actual gay people is really intense, gay people suffer a lot more over there than gay people in the west but saying "gayish" things is somehow normal and more acceptable. While over here in the West people tend to be more open minded about actual gay people tho guys dont say "gayish" things to one another, there is no way a straight guy would say to his friend (specially when they are alone) " Man you prettier than a girl" "Dude you so beautiful" "You have long eyelashes theyre so pretty" because when you compliment someone like this while being alone it REALLY sounds like flirting (here in West) . Thanks man I see more clearly now, maybe Im wrong about the blondie being in love with Shikatani maybe he only see him as a friend.
