French publishing houses make it so artists have at least a good 15, sometimes 20-25 episodes already made before getting released. And they are better paid too. Those who work with these company are generally in way better shape, have constant schedules, and do better works.
And you compare that to the webtoon French pole who is directed by the Koreans: they have tons of axed series, series on hiatus, and artists with health problems because of the Korean way of doing things. It’s really a mess
Sure, but this schedule hiatus are not for the author. The raws are updated like regular, it just extends how long the story will be ongoing for western readers
No way? Really?! Well that’s just weird then 0-o Some weird business plan to encourage people to pay for chapters, or translators being overworked? (With how much they are underpaid already)
Personally I 100% believe is the former. Along with the every 10 day update schedule, this just seem as a tactic to render the "free" coins system useless (since they have a short expiration period) and force readers to buy their overpriced bundles for chapters.
Don't get me wrong tho, there are smaller companies who do both of this things for the wellbeing of the author and translators, but leshin in particular is just doing as a money grap
man authors are being so overworked. codename anastasia’s author went on a hiatus because she was hospitalized and now this. companies really need to do something to take care of their authors/artists, even as just a regular person that does art for fun, it takes me hours to draw something really detailed that would most likely be just a singular panel. I can’t imagine doing that over and over while editing and coloring on top of that, it would genuinely make me lose any passion for art
