This is news! Honestly, I get why they're mad at us for reading illegally. But come on, not everyone can afford paying for a few panels of f*cking. Sometimes, the chapters aren't even worth the money.
These authors do be crazy sometimes. But I get it, they don't get paid if we read illegally. Still doesn't warrant them to send deth threats though, I mean... Like you said, illegal sites made most manhwas popular. ╥﹏╥
These authors really think that without illegal sites, their works would blow up when in reality, it's because it's become accessible that it's popular. More traction means more engagement and more views. One warning should've been enough, but threats? Nah.
Their plots are shtty too, they're saved by their talents in drawing but not so much in writing.

hello I just found out the author is sending illegal readers death threats on twitter?? like girl without these sites manhwa would not be popular like how it is now but I would be mad too if I wasnt getting paid from these sites
