My rewards have been leaked. (Patreon)

Ever since I started to offer English versions of my works, the $5 tier rewards for this month have been leaked on illegal websites.

I did know that this would happen at a certain point, but it ultimately did.

It doesn't make me mad since I knew beforehand, so I'll humbly accept what it is. 

There is practically no way to stop the leak. I'll just have to trust you guys not to.

(I don't think it's my fault regarding anything about these. 

Even Disney wasn't able to stop them from doing this shit.)

-

I am also a person who receives patrons from drawing fandoms of other works ignoring their copyrights. I don't have the right to say anything about leaks.

It's honestly embarrassing to be furious even though I'm not the person who owns the authorship of the characters I draw.

But it doesn't mean that I'll stop drawing anything regarding the Last Origin.

I'll continue to draw whatever I want to, just like how I did it till now.

Because of this useless mentality I had,

 I allowed all my patrons to access my rewards from the past.

Since Patreon always operate through the "donation" system,

 selling my rewards individually will affect the meaning of donations and support.

(It's not really the quality of selling it for $5 anyways.)

-

So, my response to this leak incident is that please support me if you want to continue reading my manga. There's nothing really else.

Just like movies, webtoons, etc. 

I think people who pirate these entertainments will continue to seek illegal methods, 

while the people who pay to see these will continue to use their own money.

I'll keep continuing to increase my drawing skills and face these issues without avoiding them.

I'll just draw it fucking amazing that noone can wait for the leaks.

Since the start of my Patreon, I have used all my profit to pay off my family's debts, 

and I somewhat feel grateful for this happening when I only have about $4000 left to pay.

(If this happened around the time I had over $30,000, I would've comitted suicide.

Regardless, if these leaks continue to happen and significantly affect my income, I'll stop working in Patreon and convert to drawing Webtoon.

(The platform I was aiming for recently contacted me.)

If I serialize my work on the webtoon platform, 

I would own the copyright and report all those who leak my work.

-

I humbly accepted it and wrote a long complaint, 

but to summarize it, it's this.

If you think my lacking manga really values from $5~10,

 please keep supporting me.

It's only about 30 cents per page considering it's 15 to 20 full-colored pages a month, 

and this month's Black Lilith was 19 pages in length.

I draw my manga 24/7, so you can think of it as buying my day for 15~20 cents.

Please continue to be my patron if you think my entire day is worth 15~20 cents in value.

(My ransom is cheaper than the translator I work with. 

I give translators six to ten dollars per page.)

Thank you.

If you're the one reading my leaks from other websites,

 at least give it a 5-star rating.

Honestly, you can at least fucking do that, right?
