Pretty major turnoff to me that there doesn't seem to actually be any way to just directly browse their catalogue and you're instead entirely limited to just looking through their pre-packaged lists. Also of what titles did catch my eye only like two of them actually had more than half of the volumes available.

I dunno. Could maybe see myself signing up for a one off month here and there but doesn't seem like something I'd be interested in keeping a regular subscription to.

why would anyone pay money for an AI translation? it makes no sense from a quality stand point, no sense from a moral stand point, no sense from a "I want to buy electronics in the future" stand point, and if you didn't care about any of that anyone can use AI themselves to translate. They're literally doing nothing

No thanks. Why should we have to pay for AI translated content if the companies doing the AI data scraping did not pay the original content creators?

This shit isn't even worth ripping. Do yourselves a favor and just read the japanese raws rather than this abomination.

I had no clue about the AI part of this. Yeah, forget that, never touching this service then.
