Previous Thread

Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I finally took some time to start migrating my library after Comick’s closure. It’s been a rather mixed experience so far

The comick migration has been brutal for me. I ended up just dropping tons of series that weren't really anywhere else other than MD (where the upload rate is way down compared to pre-purge). I have tried to add a lot of new sources to Mihon for different scanlation groups to try to keep up with stuff, but there are only so many extensions that work. I am not about to join a bunch of SL group discord servers to keep up with some of these series.

Don't even remind me about discord. I'm still mad that tons of communities came up with a genius idea that removing their resources from easily searchable public sites/forums/wikis and moving them to a chat app intended for ephemeral communications was a good idea. I know it's not discord's fault but I'll keep holding to this grudge until it dies. (ಠ ∩ಠ)

My migration experience is going a bit better thankfully - only a few series I tried aren't updated anywhere so far. I did purge a few as well but that had more to do with losing interest and reading through inertia rather than anything else. Guess that's my reward for limiting the number of ongoing series I read.
