Very well said
(this isn't me fighting you on what you said btw, since I agree with what you wrote. Some people are a bit ungrateful with their opinions of this authors work tbh) This story actually has a paid version, it's on Renta JP, cmoa, Pixiv. It even has a print version for all 3 volumes.
im interested to know more about paid ver. does it have more page?
it's the same content but it's actually in the proper order, the fan-translation that used the pages from either pixiv or twt are all out of order which makes following the story a little confusing (the series has short chapters with 3 volumes // 64 chapters)
Glad I'm not the only one frustrated with this business
even though this manga has physical/paid versions, that doesn’t necessarily mean huge profits from print, digital is now where most manga income happens, esp for niche genres. and even if print sales are okay, people complaining about plot or translation often forget the work + risk behind making anything physical or paid. just because something is available to buy doesn’t mean the author is earning enough. which is where I'm more frustrated about, these people aren't grateful and keep wanting more and more when they're already consuming free labor from the author.
Fair enough, and tbh its mostly just people from here and b*to that are complaining (aka english speaking readers). The JP fans for this author only ever have nice things to say.
people seriously need to chill. this manga is completely free, the artist just posts panels on twitter, and they don’t really make money from the story itself unless it’s through merch or outside support. so imagine putting in hours of work, giving it away for nothing, and then having people tear it apart like they’re entitled to it. critique is one thing, but some of the comments here are straight up disrespectful. if you hate the direction or the translations that much, nobody’s forcing you to keep reading. the least you could do is remember that you’re not paying a single cent for it.
