This post is trending because it perfectly captures the long-standing frustration of Korean manga fans with local publishers. Many feel trapped in a cycle where they want to support official releases but are constantly let down by poor service, leading them to piracy.
🇰🇷 KOREAN REACTIONS 7
It's so annoying when they buy rights for popular series, release 1-2 volumes, then just abandon them. At least release an e-book like the post mentioned!
Super slow releases, translations are f***ing terrible, censorship sucks, and they just abandon series.
Get abandoned a few times, and you'll end up on illegal sites lol.
It's not just a Korean problem, but Korea is particularly messed up about it.
But how are the platforms in Japan? If they're as accessible as Korean webtoons, couldn't Japan just support translation and payment directly, bypassing Korean publishers? They'd capture most of the neighboring otaku market.
Just go to Japanese or English sites and use AI translation lol.
Release e-books faster!
