Because they don't get a penny from an unauthorized translation/distribution. They can only get paid if the readers read the story from official channel (even then, they only get a fraction of profit cut)

Still though if they want people to read it they should at least get it translated, can’t get mad at people for wanting to read your story but can’t because it’s not in their language

but alot of people cant even read it cause they don't understand the language so why does it matter if its getting translated. the author knows a lot of people are a fan of their story yet the author doesn't even want to collaborate with someone to translate their story. ik its their story but damn.

Because in addition to the author and artist not getting paid for illegal tranlations, sites like mangago profit off these scans. Also, this series is available officially in English on Tappytoon.

It is currently coming out on the Tappytoon app where you pay per chapter (although fairly new on their so not many chapters out yet) so I imagine the author wants to have people read it there so they can make some money.

Which I understand, its when authors ask and there is no possible way to read it in your native language that sucks.

ooo i thought it wasnt officially translated yet and the author didn't want it to be translated. now it makes sense lol ty
