    Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: Watashi wa UraBoss desu ga Maou de wa Arimasen - Vol. 4 Ch. 18.2

    Man you're so right. Every time I find a series with a female lead that slowly develops feelings for a decent man I just can't help but get hooked up.

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba ii? - Vol. 9 Ch. 42 - An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Child Elf Bride ①

    NLight and pepinotomate You are incorrect that people prefer printed over digitals (and has been confirmed by this report out of many). This isn't even the case in Japan where they cost pretty much the same (source). Digitals take the lead and will continue to outgrow physicals (especially in...

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba ii? - Vol. 9 Ch. 42 - An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Child Elf Bride ①

    You are incorrect that volumes average at 18€. Almost every new digital on Apple Books, Google Play Books, and other modern platforms is around 5€ to 10€. For example this manga’s digitals on Apple Books cost from 7€ to 10€ (newer volumes are slightly pricier as they tend to be).

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba ii? - Vol. 9 Ch. 42 - An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Child Elf Bride ①

    I'm genuinely saddened that this represents a significant portion of the manga community. If anything I hope that this uproar makes people realize that official manga deals are finally affordable and compete with prices in Japan as well.

    No they wouldn't be banned. If their chapters were not troll chapters, and their site were not ad-infested, the chapter would stay.

    They seem to be unhappy with the way this publisher profits. This is outside the scope of our responsibility, as we are impartial to their business model. If people themselves are in disagreement on whether their practice is sound or not, how can we be in a place to decide whether to display...

    As mentioned in the group's description in the part you linked, this official publsher's group in MD is an initiative of us. The chapters link to actual chapters you can read on their site, just like any other publisher on our platform. If you do not wish to see them on your feed, you can block...

    Site Update - Custom Themes!

    Sorry, custom CSS will not be allowed due to security issues. If you really want to go through such effort, you may as well make your own custom CSS and apply the styles to the site via a userscript.

    Seijo-sama? Iie, Toorisugari no Mamonotsukai Desu! ~Zettai Muteki no Seijo wa Mofumofu to Tabi wo Suru~ - Vol. 4 Ch. 15 - Is This a Dream? No, It’s a…

    I wouldn't say it's on her own. On a past memory of Zakkun, the goddess says that his status should have him hold unconditional hatred for humans, hinting that the more powerful the Job Class, the more the influence she has on their mind. Zakkun is strong enough a character that is able to keep...

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    Every thread in the suggestions forum is halted once it's been rejected, defeating the entire purpose of this post—which invites discussion.

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    On the opening message of this post. And the title of the post is not even a suggestion—but rather a question (notice the question mark at the end, and the sentence beginning with "should"). So I don't know why you think it should be in the suggestions forum. Should I write down a grammatical...

    Should decently-scanlated chapters be appropriately praised?

    My god their their UI actually makes it harder to rate it badly.

    Should decently-scanlated chapters be appropriately praised?

    In my previous thread, I asked about whether machine-translated chapters should be tagged as much. That thread has received diverse reactions, however they have been predominantly opposed to the idea. Applying a negative mark to anything will yield backlash, and makes it difficult to moderate...

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    I really like your idea. Instead of "shaming" bad quality, praising good quality seems much healthier and will probably even incentivise groups to do better to get that highlight. Plus, it has been proven to have a positive community effect on nearly every platform. To ensure that groups who...

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    I agree. In my scanlation experience as well I have seen translations that are worse than MTL. Although, I could argue that the likelihood of a bad quality MTL is far greater than that of a human-translated script to be just as awful. There is the imaginary correspondence of "MTL = bad", but the...

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    That's reasonable. If chapter tags don't become a thing, then there's no way I can argue in its favor. Any other way will stigmatize groups/uploaders.

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    I understand the moderator strain, however I disagree that it's little to no value. It's been requested by other people as well, and the idea has received mixed reactions—neither predominantly positive, nor predominantly negative.

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    There will never be a "confirmation" involved other than whether the scanlator points that fact out themselves on the chapter. I understand and can already see the piled up "this is MTL" reports but without the scanlator's explicit disclosure these would be immediately rejected.

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    Yes, there is no concrete way to determine whether a chapter is machine translated or not, therefore it can only be a pure opt in for the uploader, that is meant to simply reduce the "this chapter is MTL'd" extraneous pages, and save readers time rather than clicking the chapter and then going...

    Should machine-translated chapters be appropriately tagged?

    While a suggestion for this has already been made here, the matter was quickly dropped due to the short-lived characteristic of suggestion threads. This post is not meant to provide a suggestion, but rather invite discussion. So let me start it off with a reason in its favor: considering there...
