Do you ever feel bad for not supporting the creators...?

Do you feel "bad" for reading manga online, therefore not giving mangakas revenue?

Nope because I support the works I actually love (mostly light novels tho).

Not necessarily, but if I like it enough I'll go out of my way to purchase whatever volumes/merchandise I can.

Well. First of all sorry for my bad english. I always feel guilty for not supporting the authors cause I adore they work so much. But the problem is I live in Iran. And we can't pay for anything out of the country. I really tried to make up for them by watching ads in applications. it takes a lot of time and most of the time the server wont find anything to watch in my country . Its so sad although i have the money i cant pay them. Hope my favorite authors see this message and forgive me. I keep trying to find a better way <3

I do support them. Not financially, and they have no idea that I do, but still.

Physical or digital legit sources that get localised is up to the licensors and agreements with the manga publishers so can only support what's out there and if only a handful of interest are available of 'popularity' or within reason popular but under the usual surface level so be it.

It sucks but it is what it is. If I could sure I'd do so if they brought more over but unfortunately not going to happen.

I've made my support of 1-2 volumes for many manga not like my book store cares to update those ones then others on the shelf so I get what I can and if they stay 1 volume so be it if they get taken off that's also on them. I showed my support not much else I can do and not buying 100s of copies just to prove it either.
