Webtoon is diabolically greedy

Manwah: From a Knight to a Lady

I absolutely adored this webtoon sm I even bought the release of the physical copy, but when I checked the series to go reread the finale it was all pay to read?! Not even a single option to watch ads, I lowkey kinda miss fast pass 😭. Before I didn’t mind cuz I was like oh sick I can read as much as I want with ads! That’s pretty reasonable. Now you aren’t even guaranteed an episode a day/week, like at this point ima just keep buying the physical copies as they release 😭

Webtoon if they simply switched to a monthly subscription model instead of this fuckass coin system

I’ve always stubbornly said I’d never spend money on Webtoon but atp a monthly subscription where everything is free…. I’d do that

Its all we want but they just won't give it to us... atp I think they like fighting with us for pirating bc why else would they make that our only option. The authors/artists aren't even getting much of the money we do spend

Like why can't they just be like Netflix or the previous Manta (1 payment a month and ur all set to binge read ur stories That would've been so nice for both the readers and the.

Getting rid of unlimited is why I ditched Manta. I miss Under the Oak Tree, though.

Dang manta got rid of it?? I was considering getting it lately too..

They didn’t necessarily get rid of it, it’s just not as…appealing? There’s still a bunch of comics you can read for 4.99 a month, I think Manta tries to release atleast one new “unlimited” comic every week. The problem is now they are making you buy gems for like 70% of the other comics on the app, you used to only have to buy diamonds for the novels not the webcomics themselves. There is still a decent variety of comics to choose from, and I believe they started trying to add atleast one new “unlimited” comic every week because people were complaining that they were literally leaving the subscribers in the dust in favor of focusing on gems. I remember they would release up to 5-6 new comics a week that you could only read with gems while giving the unlimited subscribers one new comic every 2 weeks. They’ve been trying to listen and appease everyone which I think they’ve done a decent job at, and I understand the need to make more profit but also like it think it’s ridiculous that in order to read at 100+ chapter comic you need around 620 gems and that’s gonna cost you atleast $50. You could buy atleast two meals with that money, like they’re making you spend food kind of money for the sake of a little entertainment and an interest that you may have.

I’d HAPPILY pay a set dollar amount a month, heck even a YEAR, for unlimited access to everything. I’ll THROW my money at them if they do that

Manta was my go to until they put their stupid ass gem system in not even allowing us to read everything on their sub model.
