I was reading it on Toomics and they had this wait or pay system. I waited for all the epi...

I think they locked the chapters because they saw them being uploaded on manga website.
It really sucks because it's quite expensive to unlock them and I love this story so much :(

I have noticed this happening on other comic/manhwa/manga platforms as well but I don't think the reason is always because of illegal uploads because even some of the stories that aren't uploaded on manga sites have been locked as well and there are some that have always been locked but they are purchased by individuals with the means to do so and uploaded on other sites. I think this is sometimes done when the comic gets popular so that new readers have to pay

Yeah, but it still sucks. They should've at least given us a warning about it...

I thought that might be the case but they switched to pay for all their comics now (I think) cuz I was reading several on TOOMICS and all of them are pay to read now. I think they’re just changing their business model
