@cloudsonu thts 1 perspective. but bffr, the series has been populated by pirated sites, nd, bc of tht very reason, the series’ consumption has increased bc of it. how ru measuring this metric? u act morally superior to those who actually practice nd indulge in piracy whn it ac promotes the content theyr selling. piracy is a inherent fundamental in the internet.
iv bought the books myself. whether u like it or not, it does boost the viewership. i wldnt hv done so if it wrnt for the pirated sites tht ac publicized passion. u keep on yapping abt how ppl tl the series r unjust. but do u think the majority of ppl r acc gna purchase contents when its a costly procedure? even when u log into ridibooks, sm ppl hv to get pass the 19 yr old verification. even then, they still hv to purchase the books nd may hv trouble accessing the translator bc of the drm. in sm instances the tl doesnt always work properly. it diminishes the reading exp nd turns sm ppl off.
its highly unethical for the authors. granted, bc of the reach the series has, it shldve gained an official translation. since it hasn’t, ppl hv to go thru difference means to obtain and access it. i undrstnd that the author shld be respected, as theyre deprived of their potential revenue. but accommodating the needs of those who thoroughly enjoy their works should be heard asw. the work touches the hearts of ppl that rnt Korean, which causes difficulties in acc accessing the work. the lack of content available for international people is upsetting.
nd if u wna be practical abt this. sm ppl cant always use vpns. their subscriptions cost much. sm vpns that r available for free can be sketchy, nd can be used to compromise personal data tht can be sold. it breaches rights. if u wna advocate so bad for the story, then make accessibility easier.
