Sep 2019: complaining on illegal translation, causing negative impact on the sales on former platform, which eventually led her to kakaopage.
I'm sorry I typed the wrong name of Seju. a twitter blogger, voted for a favorite couple as of Nov. 30：Seju x Won 38%, Sungji x Sumin 32%, Seju x Sumin 26%, Sungji x Dawoon 4%.
Woww... It's surprising! Never did i think the author plans to finish the sequel, like 5 side stories in only 30 chapters u.u It would be much more rushed than i can imagine. Still sad it's going to end t.t
seeing the images, except in korea, seems to be baek seju is much more popular than the main couple. i dont understand why baek seju is not so popular in korea too, that's sad.
Lol dude, don't make me laugh please. These polls don't mean much because they are in FB groups and other websites where the majority of people are reading the illegal version. It is very reasonable to say that after Paradise the sales tanked because it was only during One that Team Gaji complained about it, even though the series had been illegally uploaded to a bunch of websites since literally 2015. Besides it's just basic logic here: what is the "competitive advantage", the "special factor" that WDTFS has over other series that I can spend my money one? Since Paradise ended, because the story became so rushed, there is no special factor in this manga. I know several people including myself who were paying for it up till Paradise and then stopped paying; not because they necessarily prefer Seju and Sumin together, but rather because Sungji and Dowon are highly undeveloped characters and whenever the story focuses on them, the quality drops, and it feels too rushed.
I repeat:
1. Team Gaji complained about sales in general, back to the days when it was published on Lezhin and til now when she switched to Kakaopage - the only reliable platform in copyrights issue so far in Korea, to minimize illegal uploads in both foreign and international markets. Did you even know illegal upload of WDTFS sidestories in all Korean pirated websites have been stopped?
2. She complained during ONE because people demanded it so much during One era which she couldn't help but spill the hot cup of tea she's already holding for years lol
3. I only captured some, it's not everything but it says something. Much better than something with nothing but words so far.
4. Which factor proves the quality drops when it focuses on Sungji and Dowon? Did the author ever focus on Dowon?
5. Whom are those several people? Who are you again, Anon?
6. Proofs of Paradise selling best? Proofs of One's - Will's sales tanked?
7. Don't just say, prove it.
Different culture has different perceptions I guess. Maybe for them, women with big boobs are seen as the slutty type who can't be faithful in a relationship. She's the third wheeler trying to get in the main couple's way during the main story, so that's not going to make her too popular. You could argue she's not as cute as Sungji, who has that childlike innocence about her.
you're so good at lying, paying on lezhin or tappytoon where paradise hasn't even been released pffttttt i think i know your identity already and i guessed you should have noticed why not so many people agreed with anything you said pftt there must be a reason u know. you're so obsessed with Paradise and overpraise it like it's the world's 8th wonder pftttt shit talking about other stories which don't focus on your babies Sumin and Seju while in fact Paradise was just a fucking piece of shit that's only great at the very final chapter which wrapped up everything and should be enough with that single chap only pffttt Others chapters are a whole random, unnecessary, chaotic mess that people don't even know who are the main characters anymore. Paradise - sumin and sunhwa? pftt Sorry sorry dude, I too know a lot of people who were wishing for Paradise to end soon to see Seju's new future without that scumbag Salmon and sure it is fucking great pfttt suminxseju is the ship the majority don't want to see, remember this fact （￣へ￣）
I apologize first if my words might sound harsh to some people, but in terms of SALES, if you don’t either know a fucking single word of Korean language to understand what’s really happening not just on Twitter but also on other Korean forums regarding Korean readers’ point of view on each side-story OR have access to the current platform of WDTFS - Kakaopage which shows you the exact number of views and comments for each chapter then you’d better shut your mouth rather than use your hallucination to create MISLEADING information to perhaps please your own emotions.
The truth is, the only person in this universe who truly knows if the sales were good or bad, if they plummeted or rocketed is Team Gaji, not someone who according to Alggumba, reading illegal translations while hiding behind that “Anonymous identity” to throw in the bomb that sales begins going downhill after Paradise or One, making others who were engaged in the other following stories feel downhearted, to again, being satisfied and proud of your favorite couple? Do you really enjoy it that much? I’m not even a fan of Will story but it’s so annoying to see people trampling over it to worship their own favorite.
And if you want to talk about sales, I gotta say I don’t know a bit about it since I'm not Team Gaji but here is the number of views, comments, and topic discussion (which are mostly similar to sales):
556000 views in total (chapters with sex content got higher views than usual since there are also newer/redrawing scenes)
+ Main story: 2000-3000 views each chap
+ Paradise: 5-7k views each chap, 4k comments, 30 topics (2 delay, 1 hiatus = 1 week of free reading as a compensation)
+ One: 5-7k views each chap 5k comments, 44 topics (no delay)
+ Will: 6-7k views each chap, 2k views starting chap 127, 1k comments
BUT are these directly proportional to sales? Only Team Gaji knows.
+ In terms of characters (based on polls, readers’ demand, and reactions on social media):
Korea (Sumin -> Sungji/Seju)
International: Seju -> Sumin/Sungji
+ In terms of couples:
Korea: Sumin Sungji -> Sumin Seju/Seju Dowon
International: Seju Dowon -> Sumin Sungji -> Sumin Seju
