Is it possible?? YES lmao. Yea if I had to estimate only 20% actually buy and 80% read on sites like this. I buy when I can and usually prefer to buy hard copy because I want to 100% own what I’m reading. Or I’ll read it all here and then purchase after I know I like the ending but for most people, even when they know they can and should buy they won’t. It is so expensive tho but I mean if I buy normal books I should buy BL too. Even if it’s not every time at least to support I still do sometimes particularly for smaller works
very few people take paying artists seriously. Many artists have already quit because of this. The majority of people who pay for manhwa and manga are Japanese and Korean…overseas reading on sites like this is so normalised but not over there. It’s a huge no no. And just solely based off of percentage of readers in the home country vs out, out is always going to dominate yet they usually don’t pay. This is why I’m not surprised some artists are kinda racist and hate people overseas. Most Japanese and Korean creators assume people overseas p1r4te their work by default.
I’m stuck in the middle where I don’t like paying for something without knowing if I like ALL of it and so many BLs kinda suck shit half way through so I read it all on here and then decide to buy otherwise I never know what I’m spending all that money on. So I’m not trying to preach or make you feel bad but I do wonder everyone says “I’m broke :(“ but like…I’m 99% sure even if they weren’t broke they still wouldn’t pay. lol.
i honestly don’t have any online payment that i have so even if i really want to, i cant buy cuz making an online payment requires valid ID to register.. im happy that you do have your own way of paying them and have money<3 it’s also a great idea how u need to know first the story before spending it cuz it'll just go to waste when it’s bad i really love how artists show their talents and skills on their works but some plot are not uhm.. yes.. LMFAO
maybe when i graduate i’ll finally be able to go make my valid ID and support them and i cant wait to finally swipe that card
luckyyyy ╥﹏╥ im happy how ppl like you still buy and support them cuz they deserve it❣
like i tried once before in webtoon, through buying a load through sim card but the additional to the original payment makes it more expensive and i was in my HS that time and my mom scolded me cuz why did i buy such a large amount of load and doesn’t know what im buying for and it’s no longer available in sim load today so now that im in college and an adult, i feel like im an alien to my country cuz i dont even have valid ID to finally own a card or even online payment a student ID is not even accepted to register and im this close

is it possible that the majority reads on illegal site like me??? what if it doesn’t get enough views in official site?? or im just being dramatic ╥﹏╥
