There's a program called readarr, coupled with jackett and qbittorrent it will build you a library of ebooks very quickly. readarr manages the downloads, monitors your authors for new releases etc, jackett indexes the torrent sites it looks for downloads on, and qbittorrent does the actual download.

https://readarr.com/

https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases

https://www.qbittorrent.org/

After installation open jackett's url to select torrent sites to index. Then open readarr's url to add those indexed sites using the torznab urls and api key jackett gives you. Then inside readarr add the qbittorrent url/username/password as download client. Then add authors you like and enjoy.

Do the rest of the mobile gaming industry now. I mean, again, since most of the big platforms* already got nailed once ten years ago for all the trickery and fraudulent purchases that are absolutely pervasive today.

* IIRC each of Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook were each successfully sued by the FTC for ripping everyone and especially parents off in games.
