Yeah, NAVER actually sucks. Just like Kakao. If anyone doesn’t know already, the author for the other manhwa called “The Way to Protect the Female Lead’s Older Brother” she is an amazing artist who worked hard to contribute to drawing out the chapters, but she was also pregnant at the time, so it took a toll on her health. This caused her miscarriage because they forced tight deadlines on her and wouldn’t let her take a break. And even after that incident they pushed her even while she was in the hospital trying to recover and recuperate.
A lot of the Korean companies that have manhwa artists contracted with them make tight deadlines which ultimately lead to artist to suffer injuries, and though not many have blatantly said it was due to overworking, many of the Korean artists for manhwas I have seen rarely take break. And when they do, it’s only when they were injured, or had a end of season.
The S-Classes Webtoon team is taking a break this week, no new chapter ‘till next Monday 4/15) Let’s wish them to rest well!
Did you know that Naver actually used to give its authors a break only ONCE a YEAR? They recently changed the rules, and now it’s possible to rest every 25 weeks/6 months… The bare minimum, istg. Naver should make it at least every 3 months. Most Korean authors are dying.
That's why I encourage other fans to support the titles legally - whether by paid cookies on Naver or free hearts on Webtoon, you're gonna help the authors tremendously!:3
