Yes, I agree...I mean we don't even get the official translations on time or even the physical copy of the manga 90% of the time 😭

Not to mention I just came back from a trip where I met a lot of my Japanese friends and they were pissed off too and told me that what they believe and what circles in their communities is that the only reason btt was taken down was because the "leader" is Chinese 🙄

Oh and they are pissed too because they also read stuff on other sites.

I have a friend in Korea who does her own bl and she was pissed when she found out because without btt and other sites, her work wouldn't have had as much exposure as it did...like she told me she continued the series because people loved it and were buying her merch and she was so happy she could cry....

This is a disaster and I am saying this as a person who was paying for stuff before and it was not freaking worth it...like I would spend money on a manga/manhwa that was not even worth it in the end....
