    Does anyone know why they're changing their site directory every other week?

    I bookmark the main pages of the comics I'm following. However, for at least half a year, every other week, my bookmarks don't work because they've changed their directories again. I think it started around when they rebuilt their site and then after a few weeks, rebuilt it again. There was such a prolonged period of upheaval that I gave them the benefit of the doubt with all my bookmarks being dead. However, now I have assume they're doing it deliberately. It's really annoying! Are they trying to hide from bots or something?

    Here's an arbitrary example. This manhwa has been out for less than a month so I remembered what changes I made.
    It started with = https://leviatanscans.com/az/manga/the-only-necromancer/
    Then it became = https://leviatanscans.com/bg/manga/the-only-necromancer/
    And today, it's apparently = https://leviatanscans.com/lamb/manga/the-only-necromancer/

    Don't you think asking them might be more helpful than asking people from the outside?

    Yo, how about you go ask them? Posting here is just being passive-aggressive.

    So that’s why that’s been happening! I’ve just been using the site on mobile and been totally stumped. And I feel like it happens every other day rather than every other week. But that could be my bias kicking in. :blobsweat:

    what @runsing said is probably the answer...to fuck with aggregators. you can always just bookmark the home page and look from there.

    I think they're trying to avoid apps like tachiyomi which let people read their translations without seeing all the ads on their site in addition to aggregators.

    FYI, the previous people are all trying to get you banned from Levi's discord.
