I feel like I've created some kind of zealous cult.
It's a surprisingly good feeling.

I for one, welcome our Savior Sam and J-Novel Club.
Bows down in worship
The amount of reverence here is making Terre very funya-funya.
Are you funya-funya?
-
I feel fine Terre-tan. Come, join us in celebrating the saviors of Light Novels.

-
@sam-pinansky if worshipping will get me more novels at your awesome speed... where do I sign/get baptized?
-
Lmao never did I think I would fall prey to joining a cult XD .

First of all, I really like this service and will continue to use it. I believe that if you love anime/manga/light and web novels, you should always support the official releases.
Secondly: this is the same sort of argument I see on MAL all the time about people trying to justify anime piracy. It doesn’t matter how cheap something is, free is always cheaper so they are going to resort to piracy. These fan translators have been talked to, so if they get a DCMA against them, it’s their own fault.

Very well said

When the quality of the work you do is this good, the people will follow.

True story!
Remember that old 'Fast, cheap, good - pick two' thing?
Here we get fast, good, and at worst the same price for a premium ebook with more stuff in it than the same thing from Amazon etc (and cheaper than Yen Press releases no matter where you buy JNC stuff). That's pretty much all three which ain't supposed to be possible. Therefore the cult is understandable for people that want the original author to get a cut.

If you translate it, they will come.

@eric-kancso
I’m not gonna lie, it looks like homeboy created an alt just to agree with himself a month later because nobody else did. That said, I haven’t been a premium member for over half a year for nothing. JNovel is fantastic, they do fantastic work and they (and the original authors) deserve to be paid for their hard work.
If you don’t believe that, then that’s your problem. -
Late to the thread, but I also didn't fall down the Light novel rabbit hole until SAO. It still holds a small, uncomfortable, place in my heart due to introducing me to the medium.

@jnovelaremonsters Sorry if I did not read all your posts. But the ones on teh first Page are enough for me.
So First you say JNC is bad, they are evil, horrible people. Oh and they will delete every reply here.
Then you say poor wording. You have no proof except hearsay from someone else.
Uhm yeah. OK.
For my part I will gladly pay someone who has obtained the rights to a work. This whole Patreon, Donations, etc for more chapters has gotten out of hand. And we all know that there are not even a handful of translators who asked atleast the original author if they can translate it.

@jnovelaremonsters
You are trying to parse these distinctions like a finely shaved daikon... If you translate it and republish it you violate copyright law across multiple jurisdictions. Just stating that it is a simple translation does not absolve you from responsibility regarding copyright law or its application to willful violators.
