While I appreciate this dumb fun series and want to see it continue, it might be worth finding an alternate outlet besides Mangadex given that it was one of the ones that was DMCA'd, even if there are some chapters left behind.
Continuing to upload series that have been targeted for removal is likely to only attract more attention from the publishers and possibly move them to step up their game and push harder against Mangadex if they believe the site is not complying with the takedown requests. And the fact that there have been chapters left up is not necessarily a sign that the remaining content was deemed permissible (like, for instance, that the takedown only applied to chapters before the most recent volume or whatever). I saw a comment from the MD discord where an admin said that in at least some cases, leftover chapters from a series that was otherwise purged didn't necessarily mean that those chapters weren't meant to be removed, but could be because there is a quirk in how the staff had to purge things that meant they left a little bit behind rather than risk causing issues with the site and that such chapters would eventually be taken down too.
I'm not reporting anything to the mods, nor am I saying "OMG YOU IDIOTS STOP UPLOADING!", just that this is probably a good chance to figure out a Plan B or C and getting it going while there's still attention from the readership here because I wouldn't take the fact that there are still chapters up as tacit approval that this series will continue to be able to be uploaded without consequence.
