Highly agreed.
Uploading the 'korean version' (so to speak) as official will immediately have people skip all other chapters despite the original format working out better for the story, panels and so on.
I really think this was not a good idea and should honestly be changed to replacing 'official' with 'formatted'. That way people will at least check what is different and give the original a chance.
From what I know you can title uploads anything you want, no?
Just go onto the frontpage of a comic and scroll down to the chapter list, on the upper right side is a blue button. You can see all options for uploads and there are options to type in whatever you like (chapter name for example).
That's how people upload new stuff titled: Chapter 23 - The Conflict (BETTER QUALITY)
So yeah, the options ARE available.
oh really?? I haven't looked in a long long time, so i wasn't sure, thought that those were maybe options you just ticked off and it automatically added them to the chapter name. maybe it's a newer thing? idk, but that's good to know. should definitely have titled it smth like Coolmic version so people know what they're getting into
I'm not familiar how it looked before, I only ever paid attention to the button and the functions a year ago or so. Pretty much because I was also curious if the upload options allowed for random chapter titles. XD
I have no idea if we can EDIT uploads we made, but that would also be an option for the uploader. That or deleting the ones they uploaded and re-uploading them with new, more fitting titles.
that's fair haha, I've been using this site for over 6 years now and I could be wrong, but back then I think there wasnt even an upload button, you had to contact the site moderators to upload anything.
also you can definitely edit them, I'm fairly certain about that, based on all the times people have accidentally uploaded the images in the wrong order and then quickly fixed it, without anyone getting a new upload notification. not too sure about editing titles? but if you can edit the order of images it would only make sense to be able to edit everything else lol
Yeah, they definitely changed a few things over the years. Not as much as other websites do (complete entire overhauls of the layout and all that annoying jazz) but still changes can be seen here and there.
Maybe the edits are done by deleting and reuploading? IF there is an edit option, people should definitely use it tho. Technically these chapters are falsely titled so that's reason enough for an edit I would say.
If they reupload I believe people get another notification, so I'm pretty certain it's editing, either way if you're a dedicated uploader anyways it doesn't hurt to do it over again when you've got the time. I also wouldn't say they're falsely titled as they are just deceptively titled which isn't much better tbh, and still a perfectly good reason to fix it
the new upload is also labelled as the "official translation", when aside from the first chapter, the original chapters that were posted on here ARE the official English chapters already, and have been the official translation for almost a decade now (since 2017). idk how long this new manhwa-esque translation has been around, but it didn't need to be added (no offence to the uploader ofc) or at the very least could be added as like a separate one maybe? idk.
i don't wanna complain cuz it's here and it's free, but not only is the new upload a worse version of the manga (og black&white manga format is my favourite) but bc its labelled as official when the other isn't, people probably aren't gonna read the older chapters and then ppl like me, and many others it seems, who really don't like the format, might be easily discouraged from reading a really good manga and thats sad to me
