It's real. Lezhin wants you to pay for every chapters, and it's okay the payment is easier than having to buy japanese manga. Fuck manga right, thank god Lezhin is cheap and easy. I mean like, you won't even get the physical copy of it and there will be more than 10 chapters for a series but it's still affordable than a copy of manga right? lol fuck Lezhin
rape train. this is what happens now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXQCo9fLYWI
You're overreacting. Even without mangago you can get free webtoons
i heard lezhin gonna blow this website cause of some ppl giving links of mangago.People saying 'buy a coin you poor bastards' i cant support in financial way but i can support in other ways.And no need lezhin is already making TONS of cash already.We dont have too much webtoons/manwha(whatever is that shit) i can tell that from chinese webtoon websites which is 5x is more bigger than this website.Can lezhin be satisfy already abaut money they are making. the creators of webtoons are fricking like slave, making a webtoon/manwha is hard af most of them getting sick from being too tired.ofc they are gaining too but lezhin is just being a jerk at this point.God i hate lezhin.
Nooooooo people will get mad if you talk shit about Lezhin lmao Same, I hate Lezhin too
I think my biggest problem with Lezhin is, after awhile, you're going to be paying the price of buying a full book for a couple of chapters that are barely have 5-6 pages on a regular. It's not really about being "poor" if the prices were a bit more fair of if there was a way to buy entire books instead of coins for each chapter it'd be more realistic. It's no different than playing a mobile game where you pay more for worthless micro transactions when you can buy a full game for less the price of temporary satisfaction.
thats my opinion too!!!! I think they are too expensive compared to a 'real' book whats mine after buying. and I also think they are kinda... stupid? back then they shared free chapters once a week or something-... where can you get better comercial? this plattform is bigger and I think people who can pay the price would buy chapters bec they want to know the story as fast as they can
Lezhin's english site is such a money scam, ripping off international fans.
It's like 2.5x more expensive compared to their KR site.
I think the reason why it costs so much is because of translation reasons. A comic could be translated into 3 different languages, considering the fact that Lezhin has a Korean, Japanese, and English version of their site.
When you consider a site like Mr. Blue, which does not do an translations, you could get 12 chapters for literally 5 USD. Lezhin, for the same price is less than half.
While you do have a point, plenty of novels/mangas are indeed translated as well, and you're getting thick stacks of content for half the price of what Lezhin is doing. There really isn't an excuse for their prices whatsoever. Lezhin is a scam at this point. I have no problem with supporting artists for their work, but they're literally the reading equivalent of Deviantart users and their "hehe buy my nudes of the fotm character on patreon :)"
So, they are thieves! They gave me around 55 coins for almost 10 dollars (as a one time treat), but 3 coins x chapter is too much.
I think you are misguided in placing all the blame on Lezhin. I don't know of their financial situation, but we cannot use "being poor" as an excuse to not pay for the webcomics we read. That's not how the world works. Artists live off of the numerous things including the coins, keys, whatever they are called. We are making the artists sad by reading comics for free. They're not mad at Lezhin, as far as I know, but at the readers.
This is a tweet from one.

On Deviantart + Tumblr, once you reach a certain "popularity" level, the artist tends to stop doing what made them famous in the first place. No more unique pieces, just same faced/same bodied lewd art of whatever is the most popular franchise. They stop taking commissions and the sort, and they open a Patreon account in which you get "nude" versions of whichever popular character they've drawn for $$$$$$$. (Usually just a reskin of something they actually posted but with less/no clothes) It's pretty popular practice now.
its not how life works.ok then no one do a thing.What are we gonna do then? im saying 'İ cant support in financial way but i can support in other ways.'Artist is living with these but this is bacially robbery.Eng site of lezhin is more expensive than korean website.'WEBTOON' its only can read in internet of course its going to be leak in the end.Even mangas is leaking and they are not focused internet they are fricking books. İm really dissaponted of that artist doe.Our chapters was not even updated we were waiting MOUNTS to read a fricking one chapter.İ respect your opinion artist's is right but for me is all lezhins fault.
If you have concerns, reach them through email or their Facebook. You're not going anything by ranting on Mangago. If there's enough complaints, they will probably do something. They are always looking through the comments on Facebook, but not here.
And why are you disappointed or hating on the artist? You were on their side in your original post. Other Lezhin artists are hating on the readers because of illegal distribution.
You guys are ranting about how Lezhin is rolling in dough, but not a single one of you posted their annual income or even their monthly income. Whose to say they are making enough money? I assume a proportion goes to artist, so they have to pay for them, advertisement, and other expenses that come with running a business. That ain't cheap! So, it's posdible they've taken a hit because of illegal sites, forcing them to raise prices to make up for the deficit. You guys aren't considering exchange rates either. Some currencies are devalued, so you get less bang for your buck.
I can't believe Lezhin has managed to get delusional fan apologists like this. Well not really as fangirls are generally degenerates that will shield anything that comes from something they like, but lmao.
This is basic econimics lol
You don't seem to understand economics yourself, but work sis.
These are the BASICS. Of course, I'm not going to be able to write you five paged essay and state all the nuances. You can understand that much, sis.
Okay, Karen.
Honestly if you look at the price physical copies of webtoons go for it's much more expensive. Like the physical copy of Killing stalking is around $13 per book and that only includes 4 chapters. Then there's the price for shipping....
So you hate that "the creators of webtoons are fricking like slaves" but also support illegal distribution of their work(which is usually already licenced in English)? I'd like you to find one of lezhin's authors (or any webtoon author) that is grateful for their work being illegally uploaded....
this is a capitalist world we are living what do yo expect? also, it's their right to charge whatever because it's their content. even the artists/creators themselves prefer that you pay for their webcomic instead of "supporting in other ways". no matter how much you justify, pirating is pirating if their webcomics is hosted in another site. physically published manga/manwha/manhua on the other hand earns so much by exporting their paperbacks and all the other merchandise like figurines and animes. they still earn more money than webtoon by miles.
here's what you can do: boycott lezhin webtoons. stop reading any of their comics and turn to other webtoon sites since they are cheaper or just think of a way to be able to afford to pay.
hating lezhin won't change anything.
Took this from 'Fehlover' (pls dont copyright me like lezhin did Fehlover ;) )
You guys, if the pricing on the chapters is a huge concern to you all, then please, please write to Lezhin instead of posting on Mangago. You are not doing anything by doing so because Lezhin does not check for complaints on illegal sites.
Send them an email through [email protected] or give them a message through Facebook (if you have an account). This is their Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/lzhncomics/?ref=br_rs
They host campaigns for coins and free chapters on here using the number of likes and shares as their guide.
If Lezhin believes that there is enough people complaining about the prices, then perhaps they will do something about. But they can't if all the complaining is being done on Mangago.
I appreciate trying to get visibility out of this, but yes, don't spam. ^^;
I don't want people to get annoyed rather than informed.
