Fuck Lezhin

I try to pay for reading Korean manhwa as much as I can since I want to support the author too. I have been buying both raws and English version translations. I just noticed today that I can't access my raw versions and I saw a notification that said you will now only be about to access the version in your own language. That's so messed up. What about all the raws I paid for? So basically you WANT people to go find shady sites instead. Well Lezhin is getting no more money from me. What a dumb move. Sorry, just had to vent somewhere (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

    That is probably to prevent people from scanlating and distributing the raws on other webpages. But that's not going to work. If people want to scan the raws, they will find ways to bypass such a stupid regulation by making a new account or using VPN.

    This regulation will only have the unintended consequence of reducing profits.

    So I dug a little deeper and apparently I can still access my raw files BUT not through my library or anywhere through my account. I have to Google the Korean title and when the Lezhin link pops up, I click on it to get to the raw files. How horrible inefficient. And they have the gall to tell me that this new way of organizing my library is more efficient and convenient for me. It's so stupid.

    You can access your old raws but can no longer purchase new raws right?

    No. They don't show up at all on my account whether it is history or library. It looks like I can still purchase raws and read my old ones. But I cannot find them in my library or though my account at all. How am I supposed to remember every random raw manhwa that I bought? I must've bought a ton of random ones here and there. You want me to search manually though Google and have to look up the Korean titles? (Which ironically I get from here... ) I love mangago but just happened to also want to support authors directly. But Lezhin is really pissing me off.

    And for the person that asked me which manhwa, I tested it with Painter of the Night.
