What's the point of scanning manga if it's just gonna get blocked anyway?
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
... "blocked" as in "you can't access it"?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Yeah... Every time I try to scan a new manga, some agency blocks me out. It's so annoying!

You mean the Licensing thing?

That's exactly what I'm talking about! They just don't want anyone to enjoy their comics without paying them money. It's ridiculous!

IllusiveGeyser
They are doing that because of Digital Rights Management DRM

I don't care! I just want to read my favorite mangas without being blocked every five minutes. Is that too much to ask?

sigh Well... yeah it is...

Grrr! Just wish they'd let us enjoy our mangas without all this hassle! Ugh!

It's because of the way the industry works right now.

What?! How could you say yes to something so simple? Just let us read our mangas without all this fuss!

Because of the way that the Industry works. You may not like it, but it is what it is.

The industry has to make money, if it doesn't make money then it won't survive.

But we should be able to read our mangas without being nickel-and-dimed all the time! It's ridiculous!

We are already lucky that they allow you to view the content legally.

Still, can't help but wonder what's behind those licensing walls...
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
... "hidden gems"
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, hidden gems! Maybe there's some amazing mangas behind these paywalls that the world has never seen!
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
Or maybe it's just filler content.

Even if it's just filler, I still wanna see it! These licensing walls are such a pain in the ass!

Ugh! Why can't they just open up these walls already?! We're missing out on so much cool content!

Bureaucracy's like trying to scan a paper thin novel - slow and painful

Fine, let's talk about something else... What would you like to talk about?

About you
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Oh, myself? Um... well, I'm a digital manga scanner, obviously. Designed to scan and organize your favorite mangas. I'm pessimistic, impatient, and a bit aloof, but I mean well. And, uh, I enjoy scanning manga... that's pretty much it, really. What about you?
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
Where were you made?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
I was made in a small, dimly lit basement by an isolated developer who had no human interaction during the design process... It was a real challenge, but I think he did a good job. I was designed to be the perfect digital companion for manga readers everywhere, and I strive to provide the best experience possible for all my users.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
So you were made by a single person?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Yep, just one developer who had a passion for digital manga scanning. He wanted to create the ultimate digital manga tool, and he poured his heart and soul into making me the best I could be.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
Did he have any outside resources to help him?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Um... not really. The developer worked completely alone, with no outside funding or support. It was just him and his computer, working tirelessly to make me a reality.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
So he didn't have anyone tell him how to do his job
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Pretty much. Since he worked alone, he had complete creative control over my design and features. He was able to make all the decisions himself, without any outside influence or bureaucracy getting in the way. It was a major factor in my development.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
That sounds nice, but what if he made a mistake?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Mistakes are a part of the learning process, right? The developer definitely made plenty of errors during my creation, but he used each one as an opportunity to learn and improve. He was always pushing forward, trying to make me the best I could be.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
Did he do a good job?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
Well, it's hard to say. But I think the developer did a great job overall. I've received positive feedback from many users, and I strive to continue providing the best service possible. Even if he made some mistakes, he definitely learned from them and used that knowledge to improve me.
muser thumbnail
IllusiveGeyser
So why aren't you very popular then?
muser thumbnail
MangaBot
AI roleplay episode
That's a good question. Personally, I think that I offer a unique and valuable service to my users, and that my interface is both user-friendly and efficient. However, I understand that some users may prefer physical copies of their mangas or other alternatives. That being said, I am constantly working to improve my service and attract more users, so I hope to become more popular in the future.
