Tbh I agree but for this specific team I literally can’t stand the way they release chapters and make you do scavanger hunts for the passwords. All the other discord servers I’m in provide the password along with the chapter and its so much nicer. I get that it’s supposed to stop the reposting to other sites but I genuinely believe it just backfires because more people don’t want to deal with it lol. I know I take long breaks between reading certain series and I just get really confused and spend a long time going back and forth between chapters for passwords.

I would have agreed to you before their "VIP system" which they excuse as "Donations for RAWS" but now I somehow laugh at them and hope other scantalation picks this up.
First:
They want to make the passwords very hard mostly not giving a hint so readers will have to keep on going back to their other works thus generating money in the site thru ads.
Second:
First one would have been no problem to me, it's kinda annoying but still they somehow deserve it,
the one ticks me off and other members where they where accepting donations and only those who gave them donations can read the series in advance.
Donation are fine, they shrugs it off as "DONATIONS FOR RAWS" but for me... in real... is also same as VIP SYSTEM.
Good thing most members where not that blind if it was continued next thing you know you have to donate to read 2-3 weeks ahead than non-donators.
Been there, Have experienced that.
They are not the author nor the licensed English translators and they already have money coming to them thru their website's ads and now they also want donations?
They buy RAWS, yes it also means they support the Author, but they only need 1 for them to translate it and we don't know how much they are getting from the ads and donations.

Wow for real? I don’t think I was in the group discord when that happened, I wasn’t aware of any of this. That’s literally so crappy. So they were exchanging raws for donations? Its like paying a 3rd party to sell you a product they don’t own! I assume they didn’t alter the originals at all. Big yikes from me. I hope this series gets picked up by another group eventually.

Hi I’m part of that team, the team that works extremely hard to release the chapters and the one that you are “laughing” about while doing nothing but mock our hard work. We do provide the passwords. if you don’t know how it works it’s your loss. Because of people like you maybe we should drop this. Good luck on waiting for someone else to pick this up. You ungrateful twit. I know it’s the internet but what you say will hurt people and do have consequences. I wasn’t going to say anything but you really pissed me of, good job it’s not easy. Our leader is to good for people like you.

You have no idea what your talking about! So don’t just slander the team. That system was to reward people how donate in order to help the team for the readers. The team did not force anyone to donate and the money did not go to the team. Other group also did similar things in rewarding readers who participated in competition and such and gave an early access release to chapters. The team doing it completely voluntary and if people want to help because the goodness of their own hart it depends on them. Also... there are a lot of other team that asking for donations and I don’t see anyone saying anything bad about that. But it much more easier to just sit on your arse and complain about others hard work. Isn’t it? You troll. Good luck in your next life as a dung beetle

Oh come on!
You where going in the VIP Members route and you where not the first scantalation I have known doing that!
Now you want to shrug it off and come clean?
If you weren't trying to milk-off the series why give special permission and advance read to donators, I just can't remember what you call them, in advance?
That is basically "VIP SYSTEM"
and stop acting saint when the truth is you are getting money from your site.
ALLL SITES that has ADS on them are generating money!

I don't have an idea?
I was once a member but quited when I saw they where going to a VIP System route.
Experienced a lot of that!
Yes i's "completely voluntary" but those who donated can read in "ADVANCE" whats the difference? You tell me!
Others hard work?
They are Milking off the real Author who does the REAL HARD WORK for free!
They are generating money with all that ads so DO-NOT-FORGET!

No they weren't exchaging raws for donation.
They are accepting Donation "non-voluntary" and most of the Donation will be for them buying the RAWS.
It also means they support the Author by doing so.
For me, accepting donations non-voluntary to support the Author is a big yes.
What we can't accept is they are giving the donators advance chapters than non-donators.
Those who are new on this thing might think its quite okay, but I have been in many scantalation groups novels, mangas, etc. and I know greed when I see one.
Most of the members have forseen it too, thus the past week was quite a riot so I have to quit.
They are already generating money on their ads, they have very hard passwords so that people will keep searching for the past ep. thus generates ads again.
Those, for me, are just fine.
But when they are about to go VIP system route?
thats the last straw and I'm out!

Yes, their are other groups who asks for Donations and give gifts as a reward but what they did was not for reward, if they are saying it like that to their members now then nice dodge!
Those who asks for donations don't give VIP pass to their donators and yes they give gifts but they did not establish a group's name and you can also be one if you donate like the Sawa did, it was specifically mentioned in the announcement!
If a group I am in does that, I always quit because I know where it is heading.

And I also mentioned many times here that ads on your website is just fine, even though you specially make it hard so that others will have to fish out the pass on other ep. which generates ads again.
Why does other good scans does not do that?
They also have ads, yes, but they give it out pass easily.
You just don't get the point that other than your ads you are starting to create a VIP System those who Donates voluntary will be part of the group that are "gifted" advance eps.
Now tell me is that not the same as VIP MEMBERSHIP?
and I know how ads works.
Yes, don't worry I am not gonna be following your scans again and truth be told I can guide the Author and Publisher to your scans and you can be jailed, you know that right?
But I know a lot of scans that is good and I know how they also work hard but not get too greedy like you guys are.
And I don't want them to be implicated too.
How should I know how your scans thinks when you get busted you might pull others too for petty reasons?

I really hate greedy guys like you speaking like you are the Author and spouting "doing hard work" by translating but getting a lot of money from ads and donations.
I would accept those good scans that is not greedy and working hard even though they don't get almost nothing by translating.
Those kind of scan groups are the "hard-worker".
Don't compare yourselves to those good scans, have some decency.

I'm rephrasing what I said about you not getting the point about the ads and donation,
you are "DODGING THE POINT", you know it yourselves you where heading that path but now you tell your followers it was just for a "GIFT SYSTEM" because there are non blinded followers foreseen the greediness and where it is heading.
Now you tell your FF that it was for a GIFT?
Okay I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
IF IT WAS A GIFT WHY are you telling your FF that those who are members can only get the ep. on advance and they can be a member too if they "voluntary donate"?
SO WITH ALL THAT, you still want to deny your are not creating a VIP MEMBERSHIP?
COME THE F*CK ON!

We already closed the donation and gave the money back because of people like you how did not understand our intentions. you talk big but I don’t see you paying to read.. no.. you like a lot of other people reading from “stolen work” good riddance. And you should have some decency and should be a shame of your self.

Good for you if you have done that.
But check your own dirt first before pointing out others.
I have physical book collection mostly novels, if only I can post it here, mainly english or english translated.
And has accounts with the official eng. trans. its just sometimes scan groups has rare and good ones and mostly they translate faster.
I maybe read Manga,Manhua, Manwha for free but I DID NOT GET ANY MONEY FROM IT.
How about you? and your ads? Still coming clean?
Why would you steal their work ..its so not cool.,no one gonna appreciate this or get benefit from it rather the team will stop ...would you be happy then ? Some people are just straight out dumb.
