So a lot of people have been talking about a controversy on Lezhin. Something about not treating their authors fairly? Does anyone know what that's about?

    Lezhin isn't treating their creators fairly. I haven't heard an update on the situation yet, so last I heard:

    creators weren't being treated well by Lezhin (overworking and one Lezhin manager pushing for content even when one creator was hospitalized),

    no payment for comics sold overseas, even though they were promised at least a bit for every comic chapter sold,

    and basically blacklisted by Lezhin (no comics on main page, ongoing, or part of promotional events which can majorly boost sales) when artists were outspoken about the bad actions of Lezhin.

    Lezhin never really apologized. And when they "sort-of" did, they excused themselves with "bad communication."

    Yeah, I don't know what's up with them anymore. They haven't released any explanation in English, besides the poor communication excuse and work to get things better but I haven't seen anything.
