I'd definitely donate if it was an option, but as others have mentioned the attack surface of ads is enough that I wouldn't disable blockers.
Maybe something like coinhive would be a good alternative? It's able to be user-throttled, and it's not like I'm using much processing power while reading.
Uxtef was actually the translator from /ak/ also. Hesitation is doing the book releases, which have better print quality but a slower release schedule, and is re-using Uxtef's translations.
It's cutting enough that you can't really root for the protagonist as well as the LN. It's alright so far, but really hoping the LN starts getting translated again!
