Just remember that a few families own all the companies in Korea and are very nasty and evil people who engage in the most unethical business practices in the world

I can smell the actual Nepo Chaebol from here

That sounded harsher than any other slur. I love it

Makes so much more sense. The wealthy few and ruining anything good for an extra dollar of profit, name a better duo.

Remember kids, Shueisha understood how important easy survive and pricing is and made MangaPlus,Kadokawa realized how bad their services for global is and is doing a Collab with ClobalComix to put all their stuff in there in subscription.

Naver and Kakao knows what the problem is and they know what the people want,they don't care they will have 50% of their stuff untranslated and always 20 chapters behind the ones that are translated.

Not only that Shueisha uses mangadex to link their stuff to the official links of new chapters.

And Kakao and Naver still act like they don't know,they know they just don't care so they need to protect some "imaginary profit" that doesn't exists from a service that is not real.

I think it's also about hard-line traditionalist non caring about pandering the outside market. Who cares if English is the global language, the chapters are made in their native one so that's their target market while translations are cheap, bad quality and way behind because they just don't care as long as their country is number one

But remember same people are pissed when Western games or movies come late to asia and doesnt have their language dub or sub for them,every game ever for example that doesnt come out in chinese/korean and japanese get review bombed for getting censored and not having their language.

It was mangadex admin that would stop series with official TL's and link to them, I think

Another Reminder for me to check Shueisha app then.

Is the subs price worth it in general?

This is their prices,I would say the PC has some bugs and features missing as it's kinda laggy but the pricing is perfect,it let's you also read any series free once of that series.

Once, so does that mean I can only read a series one time? As in no reread stuff?

[–]AssassinLJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can binge read one series from chapter 1 to chapter 1000 you can go read one piece and you will not pay a dime.

then when you caught up you can only read the last 3 chapters every week so you can read it weekly,mangaplus survice is mostrly about no ads and to download your manga.

I love Shueisha! I've been really into Blue Proustian Moment there.

So this is why Comick was taken out...

Fuck you Kakao bastards I will NEVER use your shit service or buy anything under your banner.

[–]Dudfey 65 points66 points  (1 child)

Ayy nice was trying to tell people this is far easier than DDOSing

[–]Mysterious_Dare_3569 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention leaving a bad review isn't going to land you in jail unlike a DDOS.

[–]UnluckyHoney34[S] 38 points39 points  (3 children)

Just found out they own tapas too

[–]Icy-Hair4751 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Time to one star all their apps i can find

[–]2D_Idolboisownme 11 points12 points  (0 children)

of course they ruined it, used to be great when it was tapastic

[–]Yandere_Matrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. They also own Radish which is shutting down in December. Sucks because I have the entire Roxana novel unlocked but luckily someone gave me their google drive to continue reading it.

Is Tapas pricier? I heard the reason is to get rid of the competition between both apps and anything you bought on Radish won’t be able to be viewed once app ends so I seen a lot of people upset about the series they purchased and been looking at ways to download it to keep their purchases.
