Thats true i only now found out that author was dealing with this struggle... I just read all 17chapters this manga is breathtaking its scary and yet i cant stop reading it but awhh poor author i really wish i could support her maybe uploader should just delete it from mangago. If she really dies from illegal leaks then it almost feels like it was us who pushed her to that decision:(
"students so our income can't really help the author situation"
i really hate this excuse tbh. and i want to preface what im about to say with a disclaimer, im not interesting in lecturing or policing people's behavior. however the above is truly a very thin excuse. i dont say this lightly, but im disabled and cant maintain "competitive" employment. as a result im on govt assistance. my hope is one day i wont need to be but tbh thats no guarantee. if not for my parents i'd be straight up homeless.
but i still spend money on comics i rly like. i dont spend alot (cuz i cant) and i do work (just not full time). going back to college was put on hold due to covid.
Here's the thing, alot of the currency i use to purchase comic chpts, is not paid. but earned thru other means. when i do pay, its during big sales/events. if u buy bulk during a 50 percent off sale on say Ink or a specific comic u like, u get alot of mileage and currency that will last u months. i do also use mangago or other aggregrator sites sometimes, im not Pure and i dont think im Special but here's the thing. after a point u have to admit to yourself, that u dont Want to spend money on comics. not that u Cant. for me my main hobby these days is reading webtoons or manga and listening to drama cds. so any disposable income i have after buying Necessisties, i spend on Those things. just like someone who loves films or games or etc would spend on those things at least sometimes. if its a hobby u like or if there's one comic in particular u love. you STILL cant make an account on the official platform hosting it and 1. subscribe 2. read free chpts to increase page views 3. give it a high rating via stars, likes, thumps up etc. ALL of this shows the publisher that this author is popular and when combined with chpt purchases (all purchsases count! even if u didnt use currency u paid for to do it!).
Tbh the thing that discourages people from participating in this, isnt lack of funds but not wanting to put any time or effort into supporting despite limited means. thats why so many comic platforms have these missions or events or other ways to purchase because ALOT of readers are very young and may not have bank accs, credit cards, regular income etc. (altho...mature content is geared towards adults only and also tends to cost more). anyway, thats that on that. yall have free will to do as please but be honest with yourself about why u are reading on mangago. im sick of the "im just poor!" excuse cuz frankly its just not a good one. you dont NEED money to support esp when its One comic u feel attached to or read regularly (vs say 20 or 40 etc).
Honestly idk much about what is this all about what i know the author threatened to kill themselves ik its disrespectful to keep on uploading this manga on illegal website but also y'all be lying that you don't read the new chapter uploaded because at the end we all reading at illegal website so if any of you doesn't feel good about reading it on illegal website then you can choose to read on legal website like most of us is students so our income can't really help the author situation all I can say is whoever has problem that it been uploaded here please support the author on Lezhin but if you not gonna do that than shut up and read quietly don't share anything. I myself read at Lezhin from time to time when I have money so please do support the artist rather than yapping on here
