Hi… Can you please don't leak my stuff? Everyday I wake up thinking 2024 can’t get any worse, but it just keeps throwing surprise at me. First my Patreon got terminated, then Gumroad stopped allowing R18. Subscribestar is ignoring my emails on approving my account, and my Fanbox is barely earning anything. My income was less than minimum wage, and now I earn even less. It's like I just lose my income, and people still come to rob whatever I have left... I always consider myself quite lucky to have fans who care about my well being, not leaking my stuff, doing their best to support me… But today someone told me that all my content packs have been leaked, it feels like a huge punch in the face. I work really hard on my drawings, and I upload most of the pages on pixiv already, but this isn’t enough and they want to leak all my drawings and even the SAI files? Sigh… I tried contact e-hentai and party years ago to remove my stuff, but as expected they ignored the email and didn’t care how much this hurts the artist’s income. Early this year due to my low income I have to move out of city and live somewhere a lot cheaper, and just as I finally regain my momentum to draw, this happens… Do people just want me to quit and stop drawing? Honestly everyday I regret my life choice on drawing... So please... can people just not leak my stuff?
Well I removed everything coz I thought Gumroad would start banning accounts, but it seems they just gonna play dead and pretend nothing happened for now, so I put back up a few packs for the time being... But the plan is to find a new site so people can buy previous packs on this new site again, maybe Pixiv Booth or something... But I didn't expect people will start leaking the packs which is quite depressing... But ye if you can kindly stop making new galleries here that would be nice... I don't mind if it is stuff I post on Pixiv, but if it is paid contents I prefer it not to be leaked... I am close to finishing the last drawing and will release the next pack soon... but given what happened, I think I will stop selling SAI files from now on..

I can't remember the details tbh, but once another artist told me it is basically impossible for an individual artist to file a DMCA. The cost is simply too high (or something??), that's why even when other stuff gets leaked online, artists usually can't do anything about it unless they are signed with some company or something... Otherwise I am sure a lot of artist would file DMCA to take down their doujinshi here...
