I remember when someone posted about Bookracy here and people said it was giving them “bad vibes”, and the slogan is also “Why pay for knowledge?”. I think it’s kind of weird. it’s too organized and supported by “CloakGPT”. But their books are downloading. What do you think?

Since Anna’s Archive is being a bit lackluster with the books. Couldn’t download one, pdf came broken, etc. , I think it’s nice to have options. Do you still think Bookracy is kind of weird?

    I also can’t find even an English copy of DCC to save my life, but downloading one of them actually yielded the English book. The book file in question seems to be from libgen.li, based on the file name, but not sure where the actual Also most / all of the copy and the layout etc smells of a vibe coded project, so best case is that they do want to host mirrored books from libgen, and worst case is they’re just a front to hopefully get some crypto donations that would have instead gone to another shadow library.

    As for missing pages / other content, I think it’s actually much easier to just host mirrored (complete) books than to have modified data, so that’s not a worry I would have personally.
