Title: Probably a stupid question(is this site safe?)
Post by: MikadoRei on July 01, 2018, 10:58:01 PM
I know it's kind of stupid to ask this but, are the links for visual novels safe? I want to download a visual novel from here and it's my first time using this site, is there a chance to get a virus?

You should probably get an adblocker for the download links. Some ads are malicious.

So beside the ads, the files for the downloads are safe?

I follow this site for more than a year now and download more than 50 volumes. Never had a problem.

By definition, Kureha One itself isn't malicious, it doesn't even have ads on the forum itself.
The ads that Kureha One uses, 1 adfly link when you click a link leaving the site should technically be ok, but any user added ads after that is questionable as Kureha has no control over that.

While the use of adblockers are allowed, it is slowly killing the forum when people spread and advocate it. It's not like people donate and things like Patreon would drop us like a hot potato. K1 has only received one donation in the past 9 years. We've almost doubled the amount of visitors last year from the year before and is on track to tripling that this year, while ad revenue has dropped almost 80% lol.

Realistically though, this kind of thread is allowed, but not in the sharing section, it should be posted over in discussions.
