I like reading scanlation releases as a form of "test driving" the series. If the story is good enough, then I'll support the author for sure; but admittedly, there are a lot of stinkers out there that aren't worth the buck. This is only my opinion, but if an author is so concerned about their unlicensed works being uploaded to a site like this, then they either are not confident that their commercial release version will sell well, or they have a stigma against "unprofessional" translations of their work. As far as I'm concerned, MangaDex is free advertisement for any series destined to go the licensed route.
p.s. Thanks for the upload and keep up the good work!🤗
