Gacha genre, it feels like. Addicting, but ultimately terrible for your health, though maybe a bit inverted, fast food affecting the body and as a consequence the mind, and gachas first the mind and as consequence the body.

Horror oriented, but Tales from the Loop and its sequel, Things from the Flood, go like this, the first book rather normal despite its subject, but setting up for the shift into the cosmic horror from the second book. Didn’t read The Electric State or The Maze to know if they’re part of the same narrative.

Not familiar with Chinese writing for typing, but through Fcitx, I could configure both Japanese and Korean phonetic keyboards, and that helps a bunch.

From what I can observe, usually older companies don’t have direct means of monetization, the option instead seemingly being preferred for smaller/independent groups. I’d expect the team behind South Park to be no different given how long the show’s been around.

And if no means of direct support can be found, best I can think of is to purchase merchandise from the series from official retailers, like DVDs, toys, etc. Some cut will go to other parties, but at least the SP team will be financed, and you’ll have a tangible item too.

Yt-dlp doesn’t deal with cracking, but by fetching the files from DRM-free endpoints of a given service. And from what I’ve seen in issues from both yt-dlp and Grayjay, such endpoints were all removed in recent months for Crunchyroll (and by extensions, neither support downloading from Crunchyroll anymore).
