"reasonable", pfffttt.

i suppose you regularly send "reasonable" money to the artists and illustrators of mangas you've read, right? i believe you did that, because "the service" put "unreasonable" price, why would you pay through the "service", they are such a leech, of course you would send money directly to the people who made the manga.
yeah right, not a chance, that's the real "dumb take" right there, lol.

if the artists or illustrators really don't want to use the services to publish their work, the won't do that, they will publish it via something like Patreon or Fanbox, it's 2025 now, so easy to do that nowadays, but i wonder why don't they do that? LOL.
now, are your tiny logic kinda crumble?

oh no, don't tell me that i'm childish, the childish ones are the people who read pirated manga, not spend even a dime, and cursing the company why they block the pirated sites, that's right there is the real childish. they are kids because they can't even grasp simple logic of word "pirated".

as what i said, i'm a pirated manga reader too, but it seems i use my logic better.
"it's pirated", as simple as that.
what i do is i shut up over legal action, not melt down like a kid, keep reading through what method still available.
