ENTERTAINMENT. Don't even say there are horror books to scare, those are entertainment for others. The same as study books, those are entertainment for others. We authors are only here to PLEASE our readers. Some are here occasionally for money. However, don't forget. WE STILL NEED MONEY TO LIVE. I do not live in a communist society where I can write and get paid like the rest of the people. I live in a society where there are MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE ON THE STREETS.

Why don't you try translating 1k+ chapter stories within a month. Most translators are translating 3 chapters a day, which is around 90 chapters a month. Translating isn't that easy as it seems, I've tried before. You need to learn the figurative language as well, otherwise, none of it makes sense.
If you don't read a novel, then why are you even arguing here? That means you aren't wasting your SS on something you'll never read. No one cares if a single individual doesn't want to read their novel or not. We only care about our current readers. Not ones that are unloyal.
