잘나오다가 출판사 사정으로

갑자기 발매 중단.

물론 정발로 봐야되는게 당연히 맞긴한데........

1. 애초에 정식발매가 안됨.

2. 발매를 해도 검열빔으로 반병신됨.

3. 중간에 갑자기 연재중단.

골때리긴 하네 시발.....

애니메이션이야 OTT나 라프텔 같은 정품해결책이 탄탄하다만

만화쪽은 시발....

정상적으로 정발이 이루어지는 방법은 없는거냐 ㅂㄷㅂㄷ

🇰🇷 KOREAN REACTIONS 10

translated from the original Korean post
1.

It's seriously infuriating when an officially released manga suddenly gets dropped because of 'publisher circumstances.'

2.

Honestly, if an official release gets abandoned, shouldn't we get a refund?

3.

Booktokki suddenly stopped working too, is it the same company (as Manatokki)?

4.

Whoa, that censorship is seriously trashy, lollll.

5.

Publishers just drop official releases one day for 'their own reasons.' The original series is doing great, but the translations are slow, the official release is slow, or it just never comes out, and if it does, the quality sucks.

Pseudo-Confucian country level, lol.

Guess we just have to learn English or Japanese to read them.

It's a hundred, a thousand times better to just go to an English or Japanese site and run AI translation.

Seriously, I didn't know much about it, but official releases are f***ing terrible, lmaoooo.

Even with all that crap, we'd still buy it if you just released it properly, Daewon, Seoul Munhwasa, you damn bastards! You release a couple of volumes, sales aren't as good as you thought, so you abandon it? If you're going to abandon it, give up the rights, you f***ers!
