I hope horus will beat seth! I really start fo hate him (seth)

To*

I hope Horus does not forgive him. What Seth did was unforgivable.

Fr!

Well they're both at fault here. Like what did horus expect was gonna happen when he broke the mirror...no matter what Seth truly loved nephthys and after it got revealed that she never cheated technically, breaking that mirror was the worst thing he could've done. I'm really interested to know how their relationship is gonna develop from here on cause they both clearly have done extreme things to each other

Seth needs to go back with his wife.

Well he can't anymore cause horus destroyed the mirror his real wife was trapped in....did you even read the chapter lol cause that's literally what caused Seth's anger

Calling people broke yet your on and illegal website yourself.. hypocrite
0/10 rage bait

Yeah I'm a broke too thats why I'm on this site but atleast I know my place and don't have any empty audacity lol. But good thing is I have actually bought a lot of my fav mangas legally when I got paid at my past part time jobs

So then why go out of your way calling other people broke if your quite literally doing the same thing?

Why r u here tho

To read? Lol why else would I use the site

Then ur first comment is directed to u dumbass

No i mean her not u and the second message got directed to u by accident

Oh lollol sorry

Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time she's said out of pocket shit about her readers tho?

Someone pointed out that she's even lashed out at the ones paying to read her works before all of this.

I dont know about that. I don't read this manhwa nor follow the author

The author did indeed (right when this series was starting / getting officials years ago), they were mad AF at an international reader who paid (showing screenshots), and the Korean raws at that I think. Which has a lot more hurdles too.

So I think the author is a bit disingenuous already. Quite a few other manhwa authors have behaved like this too, especially when confronted with the fact that sometimes people can't even make an account to get Korean raws if they don't even offer translated officials that are accessible. Like not even not replying or ignoring it (because it is a difficult thing to answer), they literally just respond back with hostility.

im not sure if it's euja but i do remember an author being like that, but what i know is that the author was really sensitive and didn't know the reader was a legal reader. author thought it was an illegal reader at first

honestly i understand if some people think her words are harsh, but her getting mad is understandable. illegal reading is basically theft since she's not getting paid. unless she's doing something insane like the blind play author does, she doesn't deserve the death threats. what we need to do as illegal readers is to just shut up and not interact with the authors

I was literally just pointing this out to my friend like 15-20 min ago. I've noticed a pattern where most jp mangaka or cn authors usually give the business response of "please do not repost my works or read illegally" and leave it at that. Whereas this is like the 8th time or so I've seen a kr author crashout and wish death on their readers-- whether legal or not.

My friend is a BIG 2ha fan ((they've been trying to get me to read it but I just... struggle with focusing reading danmei lol)). Apparently the author for that series acknowledges that there are illegal sites pirating her works and would just like people not to directly link those sites if possible.

I follow a relatively well-known bl reader who made a post on how people can support the authors in ways other than monetarily and it was honestly the most rational and sane response I've seen out of all this mess.

Piracy is a decades long practice. It's not going to go away any time soon. It's best to just provide other revenue avenues for your audience if they don't have access to your works for some reason and maybe just don't tell them to "disappear from this world"??? Or maybe you should be advocating for less predatory revenue splits with your publishers if even with your thousands of views and readers you apparently can't afford to keep the lights on.

I work a below minimum wage job and live off tips and make it by just fine on 25-30 hours a week at my job lol it's not lavish, but I can at least pay my bills and afford lil treats for myself every couple of weeks. I doubt she's making less than I am.

According to people who have been following her activities closely this is a pattern with her.

The other user that replied to me provided the story behind her lashing out at the legal reader.

Honestly, it's kind of a turn-off for me for her works if this is something she's just gonna keep on doing whether you pay for her works or not.

Tbh I dont really care about authors backstories when reading manhwas. I have purchased a few mangas myself with my little money and I just buy the mangas I liked. I dont check the authors at all do so it doesn't bother me what they do.

I mean, I interact with them just fine and even have several of my fave mangaka following me.

The difference is that I don't post ss, tho. I post pics of me buying the physical copies or saying I'm excited for them to be licensed physically in English. I rt/share announcement posts to boost their traffic and I've even sent volumes I've accidentally bought duplicates of to my friends who can't afford to buy them.

To address the way she spoke; it's still wrong. You can't tell people on several occasions to just "disappear from this world" or in some other way and get away with it just 'cause you're mad. If you tell someone to neck themselves and they end up dead 'cause of it you are legally responsible for that person taking their life. Most people get away with it 'cause they aren't that well known or hide their identity, but Euja has over 1M followers and is a public figure. If something happens to the person she tells to "disappear from this world" it's her ass in fire after willingly jumping from the frying pan.

No manner of "but they weren't paying me to read my works" will protect her from aiding in a suicide. Not to mention the public backlash she might never recover from if she's known for pushing her readers to kill themselves over petty internet beef.

Even as we speak waves of her legal readers are dropping the series and canceling pre-orders for her physical release. I'm even contemplating not buying when it was next on my list of series to pre-order after Dear Door. She's hurting her own bottom-line while illegal readers are just continuing on with what they were already doing before all this. Pirates are gonna sail the seas regardless of whether it's Nintendo or a gay porn artist telling them not to.

Then why are you currently crashing out over illegal readers and saying Euja is valid for telling people to "disappear from this world" lol

I think you care a helluva lot more than what your mouth is saying.

Cause her works are getting stolen and people are having the audacity to get mad at her instead lol. Doesn't matter what kind of person she is her art is getting stolen and she has every right to get mad and have a crash out because of it. Its as simple as that.
On the other hand I said that I dont care about authors backstories because that's my personal opinion when purchasing stories. But that doesn't counter my viewpoint that authors have every right to hate illegal readers and we don't have any right to her respect. Both statements are mutually exclusive. What's not clicking???

I think I saw that post and it was great! There are so many other ways you can promote better interactions and advocate more for your work. It's how the Japanese industry slowly built outside over years and years, and even danmei! Series are still being saved from pushing avenues of support.

Maybe it's bc manhwas are so pushed with kdramas, and kpop at the same time with government backing, and riding off Asian media momentum without that kind of fan effort in the back - but idk.. I've never seen mainstream manhwa authors act like this either. Granted I don't follow them as much. But Solo Leveling did not get that popular without piracy lol - alot of those get picked up based off popular fan translations too. I think the BL Manhwa industry is extremely young in comparison - early on a few authors mentioning inspiration from notable JP works but not anymore. I can't recall "classic" BL manhwa being promoted either (where they existed ages ago but just never properly translated - Danmei, Webtoons and BL all had this).

Also piracy is still a service issue. Make your stuff accessible and reasonable. There's such a huge issue with manhwa licensing - even though it has pretty high reach, it's getting more costly per chapter, even though it's more money from USD conversion, it can be lower quality, and the loss of actual ownership. Even some of the merch I'm NGL pales to Danmei or JP BL - where it's custom art and much more detailed/extravagent with nicer and specialty finishes. Whereas BL manhwa is usually snapshots from panels blown up or cropped, and 5x more expensive. And I think people may not realize that manhwa is super capitalistic in its treatment in comparison already.

that's true, honestly authors that lash out towards illegal readers turn me off too lol. it made me never want to buy anything official from them.

ah i got cut off. i do agree piracy does play a huge role in making the series famous. look at blind play, it fell off so hard

mangakas are quite different that manhwa authors i think. since manga is the first one that starts to get popular, almost all of the mangas are fans translated. at some point manga industry does thank the fans and appreciate piracy, since it's the reason it became famous, meanwhile korean authors are a bit.. err

I'm not sure if you know the details of why the author is crashing out. the illegal reader wasn't innocent himself, he was an asshole towards other people before this. he intentionally interacted with the author, wanting euja to notice him, but his account is full of screenshots he had taken from pirate sites. he also bullied legal readers before this, apparently. he has a lot of followers and deliberately posted pictures of illegal translations multiple times, and saying shits to people who said to him to not post illegal tl. whether or not it's proper euja saying such thing, i think we all can agree it's bad etiquette to interact with the authors if you have posted illegal ss. that illegal reader was a fool himself
