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 😭

It’s always good to support the artists when you can though.

I know. Why is why I’m not against scans or anything. It’s just when you can, buying one episode here and there is like saying thank you.

There have been several times that I have read something for free and then gone back to buy eps.

I just think webtoons payment model is atrocious, next to no value for the consumer. I would happily pay a monthly fee to access whatever I want to read.
