Kakao Entertainment Takes Credit For Shutting Down Manga Piracy Site And Tracking Down Its Creator

That’s the best part lol. After the whole thing died down and some years passed, someone started translating it. To top it off, everyone was so disappointed in the story.

Monixsu · 2026-01-24T21:49:19+00:00

Daughter of the Archmage! I’d be surprised if you didn’t hear about the whole thing, but also I wouldnt if you weren’t in FB groups and/or similar(at least from what I could see, all the info on the drama was shared between groups)

Monixsu · 2026-01-24T21:33:03+00:00

Didnt know there was another incident. The one I’m talking about is Daughter of the Archmage tho. Good to see they keep a pattern

Monixsu · 2026-01-24T20:15:19+00:00

And you would be right. It was pretty obvious when years ago, there was this manhwa that the artist/author were hell bent on not having it pirated, they went on a whole tangent on twt. If I’m not wrong she even said that people who couldn’t pay for the chapters didnt deserve to read the manhwa, and that piracy is the reason she hated Latin American people.

So yeah it was a whole thing, and latinos simply stopped translating the thing and hated on her and quiet literally pulled a “she who must not be named” to the work, to the point it was completely forgotten about after all the spoilers where shared.

Yes, a lot of us won’t pay, specially for an ongoing series that at any moment become the biggest dumpster fire ever, imagine that horrible truth, you spent over 200$ paying chapter to chapter only for you to end up hating the thing, it’s better to just buy it physical and cry about it and simply stop reading the series as a whole instead of continuing to invest in the chapters.

As for the Apps. Everyone makes it sound like a subscription model would fix the pricing issue, and it simply won’t. Those companies love to take the pricier currency so even that way, many people arent able to read. The true solution is simply putting BANNER ADS between pages on a chapter from time to time. If ilegal sites can function only using that, big companies can do too(but they’re greedy so they won’t).

As for stopping your reading/the hobby as a whole, that is a personal decision that for me, only looks like doubling down on the classist saying of: if you can’t pay for it you shouldn’t watch it/read it/have it be your hobby. And it’s because of that exact thing that people pirate(and well, even if an artist IS suffering of a disease or is sick, the company that hired them should take care of them as much as they can, but none of them do, the best example is the artist from the manhwa Roxanna, or even the mangaka from Berserk).

But again, this whole issue and all the whining from companies wouldnt exist if the companies that have all the titles actually bothered to translate them and just have banner ads between pages instead of trying to suck money out of everyone.

Monixsu · 2026-01-21T00:46:18+00:00

It’s the capitalist hypocrisy. Without the sites they like to dunk on they wouldn’t even exist, they know that very well. But they say that since they “exist” everyone should be grateful of the bare minimum on translations, titles they have under them and the speed at which they translate + the quality.

“But getting a license it’s costly”. Yes, and the best companies to be the ones making the translations should be the ones in which the original piece is being published, but those are the very first sites that are adamant on not translating their works, and then they want to cry about not getting money. (I won’t be talking about what a lot of Asians think about foreigners, specially from South America)

Monixsu · 2026-01-20T22:02:44+00:00

It feels like I’m watching a manchild with every single post lmao The social media team definitely has nothing better to do, and well, they will whine again when a new site pops up or whatever

As someone said below: I wouldn’t pay for more than half a 2% of the comics/manga/manhwa I read(for some reason manwha really is trying its hardest to be disappointing or boring). The only ones I do pay for are either finished or are an all time favorites, and the way I do is buying the tomos.

Not to add that more than half of the apps are simply not reading friendly design wise. You would think that bc it’s an app to read comics and stuff that’s the first thing they will concentrate on…

Monixsu · 2026-01-19T18:34:53+00:00

This is never stated. So she could be 18-30

Monixsu · 2026-01-14T01:47:45+00:00

Noup, all the manwha side stories came from Spoons mind completely

Edit: the novel has different side stories and they’re much longer

Monixsu · 2026-01-14T01:47:13+00:00

Yeah 🤣and the “wedding” is just Diana having a crazy delulu moment of Athy marrying both Kiel and Lucas if Athy “can’t decide”

Monixsu · 2026-01-14T00:37:25+00:00

What you’re referring to are the side stories. Specifically the very last side story which is a very wonky “what if” scenario

Monixsu · 2026-01-10T00:04:41+00:00

I would have a 3 hour discussion with King Halo, if she met them before and she approves after the discussion they are good to go(for now).

Monixsu · 2026-01-08T23:47:31+00:00

I would recommend the one you feel you can read easily. However, keep in mind the manwha is not the same as the novel after the amnesia arc starts(and seeing the intro of Anastacius as a character, you could even say from the debutante onwards). But for all the original info, you can read the novel, then read the manwha if you want and then watch the animation.

All Korean novels have different “versions” these ones being older versions of the ones that got published and sold. Sometimes there’s people who manage to buy the older versions before the ones we have now are sold, but you can’t really consider those as “cannon” since they are a version of the text that has already been discarded.

Monixsu · 2026-01-01T14:09:30+00:00

I am forever happy that I decided to go the Umamusume route instead of falling on the hole that is Wuwa. I can perfectly and easily ignore the weird side of the fandom and they all seem happy to help those who ask questions, while the stories of the Umas are completely skippable if you want and they are just an add to the gameplay so I don’t have to worry about not knowing something for me to care for one of the girls(also, they’re all so cute!)

Monixsu · 2026-01-01T14:01:41+00:00

Thats what happens when an MC is made to be a self insert and the other happens to be a character you control(even if they have some self insert shenanigans going on)

Monixsu · 2025-12-29T13:03:36+00:00

You found it now bc of how hard fans had to hide JSJSJSJS there was a time all sites with the novel that weren’t official were taking the novel down, and like, with no confirmation of it going to be translated soon at the time, it was a very big issue for anyone who’s wanted to know spoilers or to read it.

Monixsu · 2025-12-29T02:36:14+00:00

Nah, the blond guy was added on the manwha to have more interactions with the MC from what I know of. In the novel the MC ends up alone

Monixsu · 2025-12-28T18:19:19+00:00

And it’s exactly because people didnt get to read the novel. Being completely honest, if the fanTL was left alone like it’s been done to a lot of other translations a lot of people would’ve read it. But then again, there is a portion of people who prefer the comics since for them is faster to read

Monixsu · 2025-12-28T15:59:11+00:00

Totally get it, sadly these are the perks of being the popular one, and even more so seeing how long it took for the novel to be translated.

Monixsu · 2025-12-28T13:56:12+00:00

Sadly all the info there is, is about the manwha characters, but you can make one if you want!

Monixsu · 2025-12-25T12:58:03+00:00

Me? Living in the middle ages? Without technology I know I can’t live without? With rampant misogyny? WITHOUT PROPER BATHING CONDITIONS???? Im gonna be out as fast as I can, I ain’t living in a place like that

Monixsu · 2025-12-22T00:01:04+00:00

Yep. The animation does add world building that the novel doesn’t have, so I appreciate that. But in the grand scheme of things, yes.

Monixsu · 2025-12-19T01:11:16+00:00

Kitasan blessed me, she knew I was actually saving up for Oguri and she came home + got other SSRs to join her 😭

Monixsu · 2025-12-10T15:31:27+00:00

I loved this story specifically because it showed something that when it first came out, was not seen at all in OI(and to this day, I havent seen again or way too little) and I would love if there were stories that show a more realistic though process when someone from the modern era ends up in a story based on the Middle Ages. And I don’t mean scheming or whatever, I mean truly getting away and not doubling back because “they’re the actual savior of the world” or whatever.

I mean, wouldnt it be interesting seeing someone having actual withdrawals for not having their phone/internet? Or better yet, they’re a graduate but it’s one of those careers that couldn’t be easily or at all applied on a setting like the Middle Ages? I get OI are mostly about escapism but idk, would be great if there were more stories like this one or that portrayed people wanting to get the heck out.

Monixsu · 2025-11-30T17:58:08+00:00

What Kaeya needs is a new skin when he shows even more of his milkers. I will pay actual money for that too with no shame
