I know this is not a Christian community, but I recently discovered Tachiyomi looking for alternatives to Saikou and a good alternative to read manga (which I don't do much, but it makes me curious) is Tachiyomi and although installing extensions is really simple the vast majority have NSFW content (or hentai?) and Jesus, I want to look for Pokemon manga and if I install extensions randomly I end up finding things I'd rather not have seen before, and many SFW extensions "don't work" or give an error that something went wrong.

I'm using mangalife almost exclusively (18 ongoing, 50 done) and it works perfectly. Always has everything from chapter 1 to current chapter of any manga, in good quality and with great English translations. Highly recommend and no NSFW (use specific extensions with incognito mode for that)

I'd recommend having your library spread through various sources as sometimes extensions stop working and you might need to migrate all mangas one by one

Good point about SPOF and backups! Thanks!

I think using the same extension for all mangas is ok if you get some backup extensions to migrate the manga you're currently reading at will. The ones you listed in another comment are great.

I'm usually reading one manga at a time + the ongoing ones when a new chapter drops (via notifications, which is my initial need of Tachiyomi). From my personal experience (which is technically riskier than your suggestion, but more comfortable) with mangalife, in the 3-4 years I've been using it, having to migrate due to outage was fortunately not a problem.
