Just like how japanese rely heavily on volume sales to put food on their table. Are you saying that haribo not wanting illegal translations is wrong? (just asking don't start an argument with me now). I'll read what I can get for free, but as long as I have money I'll keep supporting my favorite series.
Oh and btw, RicePunch was the one who started this series from chapter 1, she is currently MIA, unless you're talking about the translators who came after her.
Nah, I think it is entirely right that the author can demand it. It is her work. And like musicians, this would be the equivalent of Torrenting music or using Pirate Bay. I'm part of that camp that thinks that if I cannot read it, say oh well then move on.
Bless you. Not many people seem to get it.
And here I wondering why this good story was not being updated, and turns out the author doesn't want unofficial translations being passed around. Also, the previous translation team was heckled off the job by angry readership.
Really just too bad for the readers here. Sounds like the author is reliant on the payments from the official sites.
