T.T

Normally, the one's w/o official Eng. They don't mind people translate it.
So.. Are you sure that the real author or someone pretend to be her? Anyway it's up to you. I just doubt as I've seen rude troll here many times already..

Please don't do this to us t^t maybe that person is fake

Well I don't think it's fake, since author already found out about this translation, told peachpuff to don't translate. And author know this site too. It's kind of sad that we can't read what koreans enjoy reading it.

I agree with kyozana, maybe it was a troll cause i dont see the reason why the author would want you to stop when its for free (i think.. i just saw this on the main forum and did some research) and its only in korean. Your translation is the only way international fans who doesent understand korean can read and appreciate the author's work, unless the author doesent want international fans to read their work and "is racist or some shizz" idk.

Would you consider doing text translations instead, and then people could just read on comica by following along to your translations?

It was definitely the real author. If people actually supported the author, it would not be an issue. A lot of Comica artists are just starting out and barely scraping by, despite being very talented and hard-working. It guts them to see that millions of people read their comics, but that their sales and site hits are still really low. I used to think scanlation benefitted artists who were not yet published in English, but I have learned that that's not the case. It's too bad, really. It says a lot about the people here. I can't even count how many times people have linked to "raws" that are on illegal sites rather than the original, for starters. When the chapter is free to view on the legal site, why wouldn't people just view it there so the author gets site hits? I know you are not one of those people, of course. You always encourage people to support the author. But the mass majority of the people who read here couldn't give fewer fucks about the artist, or anyone else.

It's really selfish of you to say that someone is "doing this" to you. Get over your persecution complex and try using a Google a Translate on the legal sites. It's not that hard.

After this manhwa complete, all the chapters will be pay to read so if ppl found out about free chapters no one will pay money to read the chapters so author can't earn anything. And you did a right choice, I don't want you to face problem just cuz you wanted to share manhwa with us

Are you actually trying to say that distributing someone's copyrighted content for free makes the author make more money? "If ppl found out about free chapters no one would pay money to read". I don't inderstand how giving people free chapters illegally solves that problem.

It would be nice if the author would release a translated version so we can continue to read and support them. I completely understand that they need to make money off of their work. But without an English translation, a huge international audience gets alienated. I hope they consider this.

The author has little say in the matter. I recommend gathering signatures and petitioning Comica. It has worked in the past. Just be sure to word everything politely and not to imply that you think piracy is okay. Because they won't listen after that. I can help you word it if you need help.

Is there anywhere that you can pay to read it in English??? ╥﹏╥

There's also sites that publish official English translations of webtoons. Spottoon, TappyToon, and Tapas. Maybe the author can look into one of those sites if comica has no plans to offer English releases.

That's true, but the author can't just go and publish wherever. She publishes through Comica, and has a contract with them. They do, however, publish some of their content through Spottoon.

Well of course we don't know the conditions of the contract. If she truly wanted English translations I think it would be more practical for her to negotiate with Comica to allow English releases elsewhere than for us to petition Comica for an English site.

She can't do that. Of course she has asked them for that. I just told you what works. Why are you digging your heels in? Is it too much work? Publishers do not cater to their authors. It doesn't work that way. Comica artists do not experience any level of financial success befitting of how much high quality work they produce. You people jump up and down like crazy saying that scanlation helps webtoon artists, yet you can't even be bothered to visit the legal site to give the author page hits, or to make a petition to reveal to Comica that there are lots of people willing to buy official English chapters. I'm waiting for a shred of evidence that any of you give a single fuck about the author or her success. You just want your free chapters, and you want them now. No wonder she said she couldn't bring herself to stay here. She said when she read the comments here, it broke her heart. She's having trouble working on her webtoon because of how awful this has made her feel. No one here seems to care about that at all. It's really quite sickening.

PeachPuff if you do end up translating it i have chapters up to 27

I actually hope you can do this, so people will actually have to go to the legit author comic and not here, at least the author would gain views (that I suppose are what decide each author income). Can you tell us if it's doable? If not, I suppose I'll just warch the raws.... since I can't read korean <3

I have done this with other toons, but I don't know Korean. I post them pretty publicly, but no one has said anything about them being copyright infringement or anything like that.

What do you mean by post publicly? By the way I "read" (watch lol since i don't know korean) some comics on the legit sites and follow a txt only english translation, that saves me from the pits of despair. I mean, I don't think that's illegal, since you actually read from the legit sites and make the authors gain the views they deserve. Watching raws without understanding anything is not a thing I like, cause it spoils everything and you literally don't understand. So let's just hope @Peachpuff can say something to us about this solution, if it's doable I'll cry of joy.
