I just love their body language around each other. The author is soo good at conveying that slow spiral into lust and desire and love without making it mushy. ..ugh so good
Torn. As someone who has tried their hand at webtoon and purchased a digital tablet for it, it is fucking hard. The plotting, panelling, coloring, designing...people give less value to art and more value to STEM, which sucks. That's why I abandoned art and got a STEM job lol. Ngl, if I were her, I would be hurt and frustrated and literally vomiting that people are taking my livelihood away from me. I am seeing the author crash out emotionally, which I get. Obviously death threats ain't okay, but you know, as someone familiar with mental breakdowns, I give it a pass from my side. Other people may not give it a pass, that's entirely valid. But I know some folks feel like me.
I acknowledge that it's hypocritical to defend the author and to keep reading on this site. But honestly, I am sympathetic to her as a working adult tryna get by. Every cent matters and these platforms don't pay them that well.
The solution? The least we can do is to not flaunt mangago around on twitter and literally send screenshots of the pirated material to the author to trigger her. How dumb can people be? Can't everyone just read quietly? Why go ahead and hurt the author and everyone who relies on this site for their mental well-being (teens and adults who can't afford shit and uses manga as therapy)
I do thing it's good to have open convos about this. We should use these kinda opportunities to discuss the situation
she literally told people to kms she’s doing way too much
And we've stolen her entire livlihood. If someone stole all my money, I would've said/done so much worse. If we're gonna reas illegally, we need to do so quietly and not post it everywhere online
what do you mean we i don’t read this fuckass story and this author has literally harass an legal reader before do i really don’t care
If you don't care, why are you here?
girl i don’t care about what she has to say can what happened to critical reading comprehension ? you’re talking as if the people who read here were going to buy this story in the first place bruh i do agree that people shouldn’t put this site on display but this author is weird i mean just look at this story lol
I don't think the ppl here were ever gonna buy her work. That why I was saying we need to leave her alone and read quietly. Cause at the end of the day we're thieves stealing her livelihood.
As for the story itself, idk it's a pretty standard BL. There's nothing about this one that hasn't been done in 100s of other popular BLs.
The only ones stealing her livelihood are the management who's been underpaying but overworking her. She wouldn't even get money for her work if not for them promoters of her mid ass yaoi. It's so easy to attack the marginalized without even looking up.
Bruh, we are not marginalized for not buying gay porn. Let's be a little serious yea. And if you could add up the amount she'd get if everyone bought her work instead of reading illegally, she'd be rich! Yeah the management isn't great but we're also thieves.
It's okay, I understand you love to defend Euja's bad attitude. But think that you and me and not the only ones reading in this kind of way. Being marginalized doesn't just mean one thing. Marginalized are also those who live in a violently queerphobic country, and it impacts accessibility to queer media. It's always so easy to attack international fans when there are also a lot of Korean illegal readers. But have you seen Euja attacked any of them? No.
"Entire livelihood" when her series has been in the top 10-- even taking second place-- on Lezshit since it started.
She has over 1M followers and uses Twitter blue.
Not to mention she's harassed some of her biggest LEGAL readers over fanart to the point they deactivated and left socmed. She's also grossly racist towards LATAM and has openly admitted to turning a blind eye to illegal readers so long as they are Korean.
If she's truly struggling that bad then she should look over her contract with her publishers and work towards fixing their predatory pay-out rates for their artists.
I work a full-time manual labor job that doubles as customer service and I probably have a harder time making ends meet than she does LOL
You should get that boot out of your throat before you choke.
1M follower doesn't equate to any monetary value if all the 6 are illegal readers. Ans congrats at working full time job. That doesn't mean she isn't struggling. Your making all these accusations but I haven't seen one piece of evidence to validate any of it. And yeah she can go over her contract but you can also spend a couple dollars each week to suppoer her. But you choose to not to. That's fine, everyone here does the same. And if that's the case, we should leave her alone and read quietly. It's the least we can do.
Also, the entitlement you have is fuckin insane.
One of the artists I follow literally posted ss of her and YD saying these things. If YOU haven't seen the proof despite hundreds of accounts posting the translated ss that's on YOU. I don't even follow these artists on socmed and I've known just about every disgusting thing they've done WITH RECEIPTS over the years.
Also, entitlement?? Hun, I work my ass OFF to provide for myself and my disabled grandma LOL I don't even know the meaning of the damn word 'cause since I was born I've been tasked with taking care of others. It's only now that I'm an adult that I can finally afford myself some treats every now and then when funds permit.
If anything, it's insanely entitled to assume everyone can afford to spend more on a digital copy of something than they would the physical version of it. Just 'cause you've got the time and money to sink into buying something that could be taken away from you tomorrow doesn't mean everyone else does. I've experienced losing thousands of dollars and a decade+ of digital media 'cause of arbitrary distributors and companies selling their publishing rights to some other predatory corpo.
If you wanna take that risk with your money or time then good for you. Not everyone has that luxury or wants to pay for something twice if they want to own the physical versions when they release. YOU are the textbook definition of someone being entitled lol
Also, nice job ignoring the fact that I stated she's one of lezshit's top selling authors LOL
Even if she doesn't make much off engagement using her Twitter blue she can apparently afford despite "struggling so much" she's surely making more than she let's on from her online sales. And if she isn't then that's between her and her contract with lezshit.
Girl. Just shut up and read your gay porn quietly okay.
Girl, read your mid ass yaoi gay porn quietly.
Nice deflection there lol
Just admit that you were wrong or at least misinformed on this subject. There's literally no shame in admitting to not knowing the full context on something and jumping the gun on it.
I do it all the time. Free yourself from your pride and you'll be much happier for it lol
That's what ive been doing
I'm not wrong. I stand by everything I said. If you want to continue being entitled and come up with excuses on why it's okay to read illegally and why the authors a "bitch" for getting mad. That's all you lol.
And yet, here you are.
No one's saying it's okay to read illegaly, are you stupid? So all this time we are arguing to someone to doesn't really understand shit? Damn okay. The people are calling out the author because she exhibits behavior that are way over the line. Two sentences can co-exist by the way. It is bad to read illegally but it is also bad to harass people like that.
Bicth are your fucking dense. I mean clearly you are. I'm saying that we shouldn't police what she says or how she feels because we are illegal readers. We have absolutely no right when we continue to cause her the most harm. And if we are going to to continue to read illegally, we should do so quietly and leave her alone. That's been my point the entire fucking time, but you all want to play victim so fucking bad omg. How many time do I have to repeat myself before you get through that fuckass brain of yours lmaooo
What do you think I mean by read quietly? Did you think I mean don't start arguments in the comment section or are you dumb as fucking rocks? Clearly it's the rocks, since ive clearly meant not to go Twitter and post illegal tra stations/ interact with the author. If you can't understand the most basic part of my argument, you can fuck right off lmaooo
You're so pissed off, it's so funny HDHAHAHAHAHAHA Is it fun defending someone who's been doing nothing but harass both illegal and legal readers? Especially non-korean readers? I wonder.
Bruh, i just realized you've been following for at least three diffenr threads now. And you saying im dickriding? You can't get enough of mine. Anywho, im done with this now. If you don't get my point it's beyond me
Replying to above: Don't be so full of yourself. I'm replying to every thread I see. You have a crush on me or something? Why are you following all of my moves? I am touched.
This Nalu just blocked me, she must really love me.
There's "getting mad" and being racist and fantasizing about murdering people whether they read legally or not LOL of you just go on twitter for 5 minutes you'll see people posting proof of her and several other Korean authors being heinously racist towards LATAM.
And do you even know the meaning of that damn word? I don't make it a habit to assume someone's first language is English online, but I'm starting to think you're just tossing big words around like a pseudo-intellectual. Entitlement would require me to feel like it's my god given right to read things illegally instead of just doing it 'cause I can't afford to pay twice for something 'cause I'm taking care of my disabled grandmother and I've got to prioritize.
And I'll even 1 up you by saying I even buy official merch to offset the fact that I don't buy digital copies of things. I've amassed a pretty decent collection of acrylic standees, prints, keychains and even folders that I bought directly from the licensed merchandisers.
So tell me, who exactly is being entitled here?? Me who does their best to go above and beyond to support my fave artists even if I don't buy digital chapters or you who keeps blatantly ignoring the facts I am laying before you just 'cause you feel morally superior for some odd reason.
I never once said im morally superior. If your not entitled, good for you. But there are plenty of ppl who are.
The artist of this manhwa has also worked on Her Shimcheong, which is a GL (best GL imo). No wonder the art style seemed so familiar
I am happy we are getting uncensored penises in the official translation, but the penises looked waay better and juicier/shinier in the unofficial translation. The well drawn dicks really added to the story (not even joking). The title, the font and the sound effects were much better too. I am definitely gonna miss that.
However, I am grateful someone is translating and decensoring it officially and the author is able to make money off of that.
i just checked and you're right lol why does the unofficial look so much better
I should have let this marinate
Also, this is lowkey fulfilling my SasuNaru dream in a korean AU where Sasuke is a crybaby
why did this make me so happy to read!?!?? AHAHAHAHAH
this is ABSOLUTELY naruto fanfic hehe
Easily the hottest couple I've read on this site
U need to read more !
I just love how they are naturally stoic and distant and tough when they are apart and by themselves (cuz the world is fucking cruel to them), but laugh so much when they are with each other. The fact that they can simply look at each other and get whats on the other's mind? It's so cute I am crying. They literally are their own safe haven for their inner childs.
These two have so much personality. I just adore the little sis as well. She's too precious
yes exactly!! im not sure if you read the novel but their interactions are much better as well there (ofc!) they have these little inside jokes all the time and literally the only person in that godforsaken town that can make each other laugh and like u said just being their inner child!! its so preciousss
Omg yes, let's not forget the the inside jokes! I alternated between reading the manhua first, and then reading the novel for the stuff I missed! I livee for their banter (which is dialed up to a 100 in the novel) and comradery and the inside jokes. The author, Wuzhe, made them feel so real, like I was reading about two people I could get to know in real life. The novel is very atmospheric!
how far are you into the novel? btw - they are releasing official english translation last january :) i was thinking of buying it. from the sampe that they released i think the translation is so much better than the official manhua too, the translation looks really smooth!
and yes actually i love the xueba/xuezha inside jokes and how clear it is in the novel that gu fei is literally the only person who can make jiang cheng laughs in such a shit condition … its such an important plot point and relationship development imo
and yeah their struggle feel so real !! and i like that both of them have so many cute little hobbies and expertises (will never get over gu fei + knitting & photography hobby). i think the only thing that’s unrealistic is how many coincidences they have xD like they keep meeting each other from random street encounters to deskmates to neighbors hahahaha. i used to live in a small city and i never accidentally meet my friends this much haha
Yess, I've ordered the first vol officially published by seven seas. Excited to unbox it! The special edition seems with it.
Unfortunately, the english edition simply doesn't compare to the original Chinese edition. The dust jacket, the extra stuff that comes with the book - it's all top notch w the Chinese edition and I cry we don't have that level of quality with the eng edition.
I am at the part where they gave each other a handjob in the movie theatre lol. They are so touchy feely when they get together it's so cute. When I started the story, given just how tough and cool they were, I really didn't expect them to be cute and sappy together later on haha
I, too, want a lesbian mermaid with big soft tiddies who can comfort me while I lay in despair...and then do this freaky biting thing too
what a way to go, if I'm gonna die at least i get to die at the hands of a stunning mermaid
This is perfect. No words honestly. Green flags, both of them. Buff golden retriever bottom? Angsty black hair cold black cat energy top? Yes please. MOAR. Need moar. Author is a GENIUS
Are there raws? If so, do they fuck in it because I really want to see Uno taking Lorenzo's eggplant
Nope, what you see here will always be the latest. The only way to read ahead is to buy the chapters so you can read it before they upload it on here 12 hours later
Lol, that's what I do I wake up with an alarm at 6am to buy it, then wait and come here to talk to everybody about the chapter
Oh okay. Thanks for the info
