imo that's just called being self aware
the best thing this website can do is just take down the webtoon altogether like that other historical webtoon and other webtoons that were removed. it's genuinely not that big of an issue as you think it is
also, to those who say “you can support her by paying” — what about people who genuinely don’t have the money, or those living in countries where this webtoon isn’t even available? low tide in twilight is officially on l****n (english) and b*****n (korean), but access depends on your region—some countries can’t access it at all, and even where it is available, costs can be prohibitively high in weaker-currency countries. not everyone has the same privileges, and for many, it’s not as simple as “just pay.”
exactly ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
entertainment is inherently considered a luxury. but the question is: does that justify reading it illegally? euja herself said she'd rather have no readers than illegal readers
i don’t think it justifies reading illegally, but in my region, only the first episode is officially available, so there’s no way to legally read the rest. that makes it really hard for fans who genuinely want to support the creator but can’t access the content, and i totally get that.
however, when the official english translation is available and people still choose to post scanlations, that’s where i disagree. once a webtoon is legally published and the creator is finally getting paid, continuing to scanlate it just feels wrong to me. hopefully, official releases become more accessible in more places so everyone can support their favourite creators the right way.
Where can I legally read this, because everywhere people suggest I go, their updates are way behind or I can’t find them on the site?
Sure, it is understandable, frustrating even, but the thing is, their work blew up in the first place because of us thirsty poor people spreading the word. The post just really leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
i strongly dislike this rhetoric. it's the exact same thing as someone reposting art, getting thousands of more likes than the original post, then turning around and saying "well it got you more exposure!" please don't use "exposure" to justify piracy. people who end up buying the chapters after illegally consuming it is the exception, not the rule
if you go to euja's twt @dmwk00 she posts links to the official sites when posting about the new chapters
i think it's bc some fan translations can be on ch 50 when it gets an official translation. in most cases i've seen translation teams drop it, but readers can be impatient and reuploaders can be greedy.
if i personally can't buy the chapters, i'll support the authors in other ways like buying merch. the limitations really suck
I agree, I’m still here reading illegally but I’m not gonna act like she’s not in the right lmao. Manhwa’s are hard work to draw and write every week, she is a hundred percent in getting angry at us reading it for free.
sadly im not allowed to mention it on here because it deleted my reply by le*hln
can you all just stop going on about euja’s tweet? it’s out there. what’s done is done. and honestly, she’s not the only author on this site who’s called out illegal readers. yes, that includes both you and me.
yeah, it is illegal, and her reaction is understandable, especially if her webtoon is her main source of income. it’s not really fair to be mad at her for wanting people to stop reading her work for free. she’s protecting her livelihood, not just throwing a tantrum.
but what is hypocritical is acting like you’re somehow better than the rest of us while still being here. if you’re telling others to log off and stop reading illegally, then by that same logic, you should be doing the same. you can’t call out piracy while still benefiting from it yourself.
