Honestly, just getting the official Bahasa Indonesia releases feels like the easiest path forward. Companies like Elex Media and Level Comics have been translating a bunch of popular series, including 'Classroom of the Elite.' I usually check the Gramedia store online or use their app, Novelt. The translation quality is consistent, you get proper volume structuring, and sometimes there are even exclusive covers or little extras. Sure, you have to pay, but it’s not that pricey considering you’re getting a legitimate product that supports the actual creators. I’ve bought a few volumes, and the physical books are nice to have on a shelf. They release them in order, so you might have to wait a bit for newer volumes compared to Japan, but that’s just how official translations go. It’s a reliable system if you want to read things properly without dealing with sketchy websites or random, half-finished fan projects that might disappear overnight. I’d rather have that peace of mind and actually own the story.
Some folks might point you to fan translation websites or aggregator sites that pop up when you search. I’ve stumbled across a few, and the experience is really hit or miss. The translations can be awkward, the formatting is often messed up on mobile, and the ads are just unbearable. Plus, you never know if the site will still be there next week. I used to read some stuff that way when I was younger and broke, but now that I have a bit more disposable income, supporting the official channel just seems like the better long-term move for the industry and for getting more series licensed. The only real downside is the release schedule lag, which can be frustrating if you’re trying to keep up with the latest discussions.
