    I'm posting this here after repeated attempts of reaching out to Active himself and his Discord. No response what-so-ever. Just being ignored. This has happened before, and not until I started posting the issue I was having to different forums did he respond

    I cannot reach the website. Receiving 403 errors no matter if I'm at home or at work, so I think he's possibly blocking one of the IP ranges my ISP uses, the entire /19.

    I realize they just upgraded their website, but from looking at Discord conversations, it looks like that's mostly been worked out.

    I've spent close to $200 on that site. Was in the middle of two stories.

    This is very frustrating.

    I posted this to r/noveltranslations, as well.

    Doesn't help.

    Was what I got when I tried a server in Japan. Received the same 403 error when I tried another in the Nethernetlands. And I shouldn't have to connect to a VPN for this.

    Try filing a report with the payment provider eg PayPal.
    That usually forces them to listen.
    That's what I did with WordPress parent company, I did get a response but got blacklisted

    I'd rather not get blacklisted. I'd like to get this resolved. I want to keep reading.

    ProtonVPN is hardly shit. I'll give another a go, though. I'll try Browsec.

    No dice. Same issue.

    Could you use someone else’s device to see if it works? Idk, I’m bad with tech and tend to break it the moment I touch it, but maybe that would work.

    Not only did they ban whole countries from accessing their website, but they also erased all the purchases you had before see the following pictures:

    At this point, I really just want them to close and leave so that someone else can take over those novels. They have many good novels and I used to give them 12 USD per month to read ahead but now they are asking 13 USD for a single chapter... Not even Qidian does that.

    I used to have that problem, I just turn on my data and it's fine again.
