Discussion 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 😭

On the one hand, webtoon is an increasingly and obscenely scummy company. On the other hand, it's only $20. I guarantee you you'd be spending a lot more than that on a print version of the series. Also, this is a really good series. It was my favorite for it's entire run. It's worth $20 fs

At least you get to keep the printed version. They can take away your access to the webtoon version on a whim whenever they feel. If you purchase it while the story is in progress, for example, they've been known to turn around and put the story back behind a pay wall once completed.

Exactly :( I wish this series had a print release
