I really like the story and have bought official merch of it, but this whole thing has made me disappointed in the author. This is not the first time she sends her followers to hate on someone, both legal and illegal readers. I understand her anger and frustration, it’s her job in the end, but acting like a child online is not going to fix the issue. There’s also a clear tint of classism in her replies, and wouldn’t go as far as saying xenophobia/racism, but if she only goes on a manhunt for international illegal readers, when Koreans have numerous sites where they share illegal scans, and those go untouched by most authors, it leaves me weird taste in my mouth. I’ve been so excited about the physical version of this to come out in english, and I’ve been posting about buying it nonstop since the announcement on my social media, but now I don’t think I will. I don’t feel sorry for it, I don’t feel comfortable spending any more money on someone that would incite her million followers to send hate to someone over yaoi
Because of a misunderstanding, the legal reader posted fanart of the manhwa and the author qrt the post just like she did recently, the fanartist got hate and deactivated, idk how it ended tho it happened some time ago iirc
