I’ve decided to share some content I purchased with my own money quite a while ago. Some of these cards were originally shared back in the F95zone days, but I’ve now included what I missed back then.
HERE The author is Seimei_Abe, the characters are from CounterSide (Karin, Shena, Carmen)
Still looking for Awakening Horizon and Wedding Dress Luara by the same creator. Personally, I find his cards a bit overpriced, so I’m hesitant to buy everything myself, though I haven't had much luck finding them elsewhere.
It’s ironic that just one day after I mentioned him, Harada suddenly appeared, despite having lurked here only to take down links for the longest time. It makes me miss authors like
Alvarna, who makes incredible cards and shares them all for free. He earns plenty of support without gatekeeping his work and his works are extremely excellent, showing what it means to be a good author deserved to be paid. ScrewThisNoise is another great example of how to be successful while keeping content accessible, especially cards and scenes that are meant to be shared, not sold.
I have even supported certain authors financially after encountering leaked cards if I genuinely liked the characters. However, I still fundamentally oppose the idea of gatekeeping.
In fact, these increasingly aggressive gatekeeping practices are precisely what have led me to stop supporting many authors altogether, despite having supported them for several months before such policies were introduced. That said, based on what
Harada stated in his Pixiv post that his revenue increased after implementing these measures, it is not difficult to see why many authors choose to adopt the same approach.
Anyway, I’ve shared my piece and paid my 'yapping toll.' Unless I’m making a specific request, I’ll leave it at that. It seems we won’t see any leaks from authors like Izu, Sandkoi, or Harada here anymore, as they are now active here specifically to guard their content.
No personal grudges, just stating what I felt and expressing my thoughts.
Note: The link is litterbox. If it expired, and anyone wants a re-up, anyone can do that in my place or share them along with an updated more complete folder of Seimei Abe's cards.
