My real question is: are these authors ALSO going after all the Korean free sites too or just this one? Cuz there are a FUCKTON in both languages and honestly, they can keep trying to come after this website but it’s going to keep popping back up and if it doesn’t, I think we ALL have backups after what happened last time
So it might be worth to start bookmarking your favorite stories on other bird related manga sites or other sources JUST to be safe
Could you maybe DM me similar pages which I can use as backup? ヽ(*＾ω＾*)ﾉ
That would be very nice
Yes. The case for local witch hunt is kinda buried, but it is happened and the backlash is severe (threating from both sides, and some news of mental breakdown, too). One of the novel author i follow literally snapped in twitter months ago because she managed to infiltrate a discord server and telegram channel and found out the jllegal distribution.
Tkor and newtoki server is actually not in korea, and they changed domain frequently so it is hard to close them down. But all of korean publishers knkw about this fact and plan to cooperate with interpol to investigate this matter.
Typo : threatening
I KNO I’m gunna catch a lot of slack on this, but HERE WE GO. Is it terrible that everyone from manhwa authors to musicians are having their shit pirated for everyone to see, therefore losing money? YES. Is this just the way of the world now? UNFORTUNATELY. If you are a creator today you may not like it but you need to at least acknowledge that your shit will be consumed for free. The internet is WAY PAST the point of no return in terms of people consuming shit for free
Does this free culture harm creators? ABSOLUTELY. Can it be changed tho? NO. It’s just one of those unfortunate aspects of being a creator today. You can either fight a losing war (not even major corporations can prevent people from viewing their movies, media, etc for free) OR accept that this just is how things are now. At least more people are able to view your media and that exposure WILL lead to more people being sent your way that WANT to support you
And I say this AS A MUSICIAN who has dealt with this personally so remember that before you come after me
If this is the authors wishes I totally respect that BUT multiple uploader have gotten this message almost copy pasted from multiple “authors” all in the past day or 2. I dunno, just seems a little sketch that EVERYONE is getting an almost identical message. Check out Love for Sale, Mad Place, and Lucky Paradise to see what I mean
Because they’re Korean, maybe webtoon authors have made a template in English to send to illegal uploaders, who knows. Even if it is sus, it is still true that illegal uploads HURT authors. Plus it’s easy to read on t@pas so I rly recommend it :)
Ong, imagine if the author of blind play is encouraging them/is involved bc it’s started there (drama with the author of blind play)
Felix: I just can’t figure out who Benjamin’s father is! It’s driving me crazy!!
Felix’s crew, Isaac, Cole, the readers, literally anyone who has eyes: IT’S YOURS, DUMMY
Riiiight??! I mean like what the heck felix its either you need sum glasses or youre literally dumb and plain stupid for not having a thought of benjamin having his qualities too ong
And he’s supposed to be the head and mastermind of a MAJOR weapons supplier but he can’t figure this out?? I seriously worry about the future of his organization
Don't forget about Isaac's mother...she realizes it too the moment she saw Felix...
Because he thought Isaac is a beta
I feel like everyone is hardcore over the drama at this point. Like I FEEL for Jooin because I used to be in that same space of low self esteem and feeling like you should take whatever you can get, but at a certain point you need to stand up for yourself and keep your boundaries in place
Who else SCREAMED when they got the notification??? I yelled out OMG at least 10x while reading these newest chapters. Y’all have made my SUMMER
NOPE. Can’t do it. I tried. Made it thru chapter 12 but between the constant rape, coercion, and terrible translation I just can’t do it. Hope it gets better for y’all’s sake! THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
