This post is going viral because it taps into a deep, long-standing frustration among Korean readers regarding the local publishing industry's practices, particularly the abandonment of popular series, poor translation quality, and perceived censorship of foreign works.
한 번 판권 사서 정발한 책은 반드시 끝까지 책임지고 정발해야 하도록 강제
출판사의 경영난 등으로 정발이 불가능해질 경우 판권을 포기하거나 타 출판사에 판권을 매각하도록 강제
형편없는 번역 퀄리티 혹은 역자의 의도에 따른 뉘앙스 왜곡 등으로 소비자들로부터 일정량 이상 번역 수정 의견이 접수될 경우 검토 후 번역가 교체
원본의 표현을 과도하게 검열하지 못하도록 (원본의 표현을 존중하도록) 강제 (민원이 예상되어 원본의 표현을 유지한 상태로는 정발이 불가능하다고 판단되면 판권 포기)
나도 원작 작가를 위해 굿즈 산다는 기분으로 정발본 사는 정발충이긴 한데
뭐 이 정도는 돼야 정발본 사는 가치가 생기지 않을까?
정발 못하겠으면 걍 만갤럼들한테 맡기라고 좆같이 합의금 장사하지 말고
🇰🇷 KOREAN REACTIONS 10
The thirsty person digs the well! If you start studying Japanese now, in about 2 years, you can read most otaku manga in their original language! You get to enjoy your hobby and build a skill, isn't that a win-win? Plus, you can even flex about it in posts like this! Let's start now!
The real problem is authors who commission well, then abandon it when it seems difficult. Then they complain about illegal copies, which is true, but people aren't pigs or dogs (idiots), who would look favorably on that?
Fr fr, Daewon C.I. (a major publisher), you b*tches, you even dropped the 'Little Soldier Chronicles' novel halfway through.
Even if such mandatory, freedom-restricting laws were made, they'd just get struck down as unconstitutional.
Just hardcore study English, lol. Even English-speaking folks secretly run sites like Manatokki (illegal manga sites) haha. I've been reading in English for years now, lmaooo.
If they don't serialize it, should I learn to draw? If the story writer doesn't send content, should I study to become a novelist?
I *can* read it (in original/another language), but it's more tiring than reading in my native tongue...
It's seriously infuriating when official releases get dropped.
This is so true... it's so annoying when official releases just stop.
This is more important than the stupid Fixed Book Price System.
