    NU is technically an aggregator, but... Well, it's a good aggregator that doesn't host anything and only links to translations.

    Mangaupdates is very similar to NU, but it doesn't have links because they were forced to take the links down.

    I thought this was a thread talking about people who look like robots at first. I was wrong. But I was not left disappointed. :blobpopcorn_cool:

    Ooooooooooh, pretty neat for sure, allows you to at least check the TL site directly... If only they all had a proper reader... So many have DL links and/or links to Batoto (maybe they updated to Mangadex, dunno) instead... T.T

    Im using NU for 2 years already..
    The reading list is really important feature to me by this point that I couldnt care less about anything agregator site has to offer..
    And its always fun to see the translator him/herself replies on the comment that was posted on the translator site..
    There will always be these cancer-like people in the comunity that does nothing other than destroying stuff for their own amusement..
    You can see them using all kinds of cheats to kill all the honest paying players in games that little by little force them to quit and in time contribute to the closing of said game's server..
    The comunity is better off without them really..
    Those spoiled egoist kids that cant even appritiate and respect the ones behind the thing they enjoy and abused opon.

    WTF! I got triggered from reading that! :blobsob::blobsob::notlikeblob: Why??? There's really no excuse for using pirate sites when novels are just text on a page. I've never seen any translator's site that is that bad. It would be understandable if they were talking about manga since a lot of the manga translation groups' websites have chapters that are hard/impossible to read online. Like, some of them have .zip downloads or their read online has no scroll function.

    But frickin' novels? FFS!

    I have. :sweating_profusely: Pop-ups and redirects all over, or the "text" is an image with watermarks all over, or even short chapters are separated into small parts to force the reader to reload the ads multiple times per chapter, forcing to watch a video ad, requiring javascript to be enabled... sometimes it's just the theme that hurts my eyes. Those are all things that made me unable to continue reading at various points in time. I won't name any names, though.

    I just stopped reading the stories altogether in my case, but I guess if someone really wants to read the novel...

    I use UBlock Origin if I have to. That's why I don't see websites like that. As for the other objections, they are pretty trivial. Ugly themes aren't a big deal.

    As for "forcing people to reload ads" lol, that is just readers being too suspicious. FYI, loading more ads doesn't pay the website owner more. These days there are no real ad networks that pay "per view." All of the good ones are "per click." :whistle: No clicks, no money. Therefore, more ads doesn't mean more revenue. :coffee:

    Idk where people get the idea that "money hungry website owners force us to view more pages" came from. Maybe back in the 1990s it was like that. However, last I looked it's now 2018. (y) Even the cheapest porn ad networks pay per click.
