I'm wondering, now that their aren't any links towards sites anymore on MU. Might it be possible to put in the releases that people release on online readers or on other distribution sites, without a group name or a group without a name.
This is for the importance of the site, a lot of groups don't put the energy in it anymore to put it on their own site or they don't want a site. As a lot of updates are missing, it's starting to get difficult to known which series you have read up to the last chapter and which not.

Yesterday, I was caught by surprise when I suddenly found one of my favourite series (King Golf) released up to chapter 58 (while it's only up to chapter 7 on MU).
Another example is Vinland Saga (indeed licensed, but everyone who likes it would purchase the nice hard cover of Vinland Saga, it stands thankfully on the bookself), this series is already out until chapter 99 on a well known download site, while MU says it's only out up to chapter 78. It's even released by Hox, they stated on their own site that they continued on that distribution site.

Their even are full series missing.

At least KOMANGA doesn't need to make an English website anymore for the releases of Birdmen... 😀

And people who don't like the ads on those online readers, their are a lot of methods to avoid all those ads. 🤢

Edit: And what about rips? (not available outsize the USA on the license hlders site)
And scans from the English version( not recommend to read because of the bad quality), in the past it was allowed, but now? It certainly will help for the out of print stuff.

I just want an updated reading list, without a lot of questions.

All policies remain the same for now.

Rips or scans from the English volume are not allowed at all to be posted as releases on MU. They were never allowed in the past.

Is it then possible to announce chapters released by license holders?
It would be nice if people that purchase the stuff can add it in their lists.
Certainly if you don't know if you already rode it or not.
When I purchase manga's, I don't read them directly. I can't see it in my reading list that I still need to read it as those released chapters aren't added.

I would suggest that published chapters also might be added (volume numbers are most of the time added, but I can't see up to which chapter is released.) Not necessary in the release list, but in the series list would be enough.

Their are scans added that are scanned from English volumes, here are some examples:

Kasumi and Dramacon were only released by Tokyopop and Del Rey in English.
Their are other examples with scans from translated manga, but their are not so easy to find with a simple search. 😕

Then those fell through the cracks and should never have been approved in the first place
