Popularity means absolutely nothing. Popularity doesn’t put food on the table or pay your bills. How many times do the authors have to say that popularity on illegal websites does more harm to them than good? Also, authors are constantly complaining about illegal readers and illegal websites. This isn’t the first person and won’t be the last tho. And she isn’t greedy for wanting money. THIS IS HER JOB. She’s supposed to make money. She’s not gonna work for free just cause you’re poor lol. If you were a real fan, you’d recognize how our actions hurt her way more then her words can ever hurt us and read quietly.

half of us was never supporting her work,, if we were we wouldnt be reading her work on here.. anyways move on and stop reading the work speaking about the situation is boring now

Disagree, popularity DOES put food on the table!! Without popularity, she’d wouldn’t even be earning money at all because no one would know her, hello? There’s a big link to popularity and money when it comes to creating things like manhwas/mangas etc. Come up with a better argument. Also YOU are using an ILLEGAL site to read manhwa, bsfr. You can’t pick and choose what you’re going to read illegally and legally if you’re going to argue about the former…

Bruh, multiple Korean authors have said they rather their work not be popular than have it be popular on illegal sites cause it doesn’t help them at all. If you don’t wanna believe the people who are directly affected by it idk. I’m not trying to be a hypocrite about illegal reading, I just can’t stand misinformation and ppl attacking the author when they are rightfully upset about what we do and how we harm them.

As much as I want to agree with what your saying, I still think they are in the wrong. The way I view it, Illegal sights are pretty much the same concept as a library. Do you really think that a book author is getting paid for every person that goes to the library to check out there book? No, the library buys a set amount of books and that's it, and that set amount will get read as many times as possible until they get to used to be able to read anymore. And you could bring up the argument that "well its not the same cause they are drawing", but that honestly doesn't even matter, cause it take the same amount of time and effort, just doing different things. The majority of webtoons are already books, so half the battle of fleshing out a storyline is done for them. The other issue is that it costs a arm and a leg to even stay up to date with 1 webtoon, and you get a total of maybe 10 hours of read time for 100 chapters, verses buying 1 book costs between 16 and 30 dollars and you can easily get 20 or 30 hours of time out of it. So the bottom line is that webtoons in general have a socially lesser value but want to bankrupt you, which the general population isn't willing to put up with. So I believe that the majority read on these sites, and if they actually like the plot they'll invest in it, aka buy they're own copy of a book they read from the library. I really don't understand why just because they're drawing instead of typing words that they think they're special, because they aren't.

Forgot to mention. Because they are drawing it does take much longer than it does for a novel. It’s a completely different skill set being used to create this medium. An experienced author can take 1-2 years to put out their novel while an equally experienced mangaka/webtoon artist can take 3 years+ to complete the same novel.

For instance, The apothecary diaries manga has just caught up to the fourth light novel volume after 8 years. While the Light Novel has been able to put up a new book (volume) every year. Since 2017 (when the manga came out) 10 new books have been released in comparison to the four that manga has caught up with.

Drawing does take longer and more effort. And most webtoons aren’t books but original stories. It’s only been in the last few years have webtoons started adapting webnovels.
