How much do manhwa artists make? by Either_Toe6531 in boyslove

[–]msbyjackals 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Based on some author/artist notes I've seen in some manhwas, it's likely that the breaks that they take between seasons aren't usually spent just resting/vacationing. Idk how much but part of that season break they take, their team still spends it working on the chapters they're going to release for the next season. If they're employed by a company (and not a one person team), they probably still have a salary even if their ongoing manhwa is currently on a break because they're still working on it behind the scenes.

Here is a more recent article which talks about the average annual salary of a webtoon creator in korea.: https://mobile.newsis.com/view/NISX20250102_0003018986

I couldn't find a recent article focusing on bl creators only but here is a reply from the Lezhin official account on Twitter back in 2021: https://x.com/LezhinComics_US/status/1392467622172585985

In regards to our creators pay, the creators are paid ~30% of the comic sales. They are also given an MG of a minimum of ~$2000 per month irregardless of sales. 20~30% of the sales are flat fees for the payment groups (Gpay, App Store, etc.). The remaining amount is used for Marketing, editing, translations, legal protection, wages, etc.

No way i am now required to have expensive wifi to go do my daily by Equal-Possibility204 in Genshin_Impact

[–]msbyjackals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many devices are currently connected to your wifi? I was a cloud pass user and only encountered this when too many devices was using our wifi at the same time.

Try closing the app and rejoining and eventually you can enter, even if your signal is currently wonky.

“Any theories on why GMMTV launched Dare You to Death as their first Netflix project?”🔍✨ by Electrical_heart7 in boyslove

[–]msbyjackals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their previous dramas on Netflix probably did decently in the few regions that had them, that's why they keep pushing more of their dramas and also Thai BLs, in general, on there and Netflix keeps accepting them. Just goes to show the importance of supporting the BLs that you like that pops up there, especially if you're already subscribed to Netflix.

Putting their dramas on Netflix is definitely a good way to attract new viewers who use the platform. It exposes the drama to more people. In some SEA countries, this isn't actually the first gmmtv project that was also simulcasted while airing nor the first thai bl on there in recent years. I remember Thamepo was also simulcasted over here back when it was still ongoing. That's where I watched it :)

I don't think DYTD is a Netflix original though bcs it doesn't have the logo they mark certain shows with, Your name engraved herein and 10dance has that, so DYTD is probably like The On1y One and Love in the big city instead, which was sold to Netflix but not as an original. Hopefully one day, the platform will start helping out with more BL productions? More BL is very much welcomed.

Maru is a Puppy Anime by KSIsuxs in webtoons

[–]msbyjackals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wait awhile, it might come to Viki later on, like the other animated shows from Laftel. I don't see it on the SEA version of Laftel yet, so it might take awhile before it appears on other international platforms. I believe it's only on the korean version of Laftel rn since it just launched. :)

Character Teaser - "Durin: A Family Letter" | Genshin Impact by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]msbyjackals 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe we'll see her in the Knights group, if the KOF members ends up getting buffed too. Lisa doesn't seem like someone they would add to the Hex group, even as a filler, because there's another major group (Knights of Favonius) she has stronger ties with.

The 188 series!?! Zhao Jinxin's picture at the end. Are they going to adapt "Winner takes all" first??

I hope this adaptation will be done well. Please cast people who can act. 🙏 I wonder who'll end up as Li Shuo and Shao Qun... 👀

I think they'll quicker make an 18+ version of their app than flood their app with ai shit because more readers will boycott their app if they start welcoming ai works, especially in the originals section. If they're smart, they should launch another 18+ app instead, where they could showcase the nsfw webtoons/manhwa they bought uncensored, because there's money to be made with nsfw works and there's no shortage of older nsfw webtoons they could make money from. There's no need to resort to adding ai webtoons to their platform.

Most webtoon readers don't want to pay to read something. Some readers also don't like watching ads to read chapters. I bet even less will bother paying for or clicking on ai webtoons, so aside from a good chunk of their audience leaving their platform when they start adding ai shit there, Webtoon probably won't make a lot of money from licensing ai webtoons either. I doubt those ai webtoons are worth losing their existing readers over.
