Imma just get this out of my chest. It just really sucks when side stories are filled with jssues about the couple. You'd think they're in a happy place after going all through that but all we see is them rehashing shit over again and in this story on the verge of breaking up. It's like I ended up wasting my time getting invested in this story :/
that's life
while I wholly agree on this sentiment, it's just them--their dynamic, this push and pull that always keeps things interesting and explosive, I mean it's the exact reason why their story was so intense and titallating to begin with
TBF the author did warn us that if she made side stories, they’d be about them fighting.
Thats true. I understand for issues that havent been explored before cos that is just how it works. But for recycled issues is annoying cos it throws all the development out the window.
But for these two this is on brand tbh. Expecting them to live happily ever after after knowing that its their personality and they will not change for love (esp brett) is on you.
I get your point guys. I know with the difference in their mentality and personalities they approach problems differently, which makes things messy. But sometimes a girl just wants to see some lighthearted progression after all that gloom and doom they've went to you know? I'm more used to the happy side stories also, I didn't know that the author wanted angst side stories. I would've prepared myself from the drama if I knew.
This is why I don't trust any online reading platforms my money. Wdym ppl bought the chapters but they don't get to download it. So there's no way of retrieving the stories once any of those sites shut down. Atp, you're just paying to rent.
For ppl who want to support authors, I recommend just buying the physical versions if its feasible in where you live. At least you actually get to own the book.
Publishers aren't gonna drop thousands of dollars printing, warehousing, and shipping physical copies without proof that people will actually buy them. And they definitely aren't checking pirate sites to gauge hype but they track numbers on official platforms. So good luck buying physicals for a series that bombed digitally, because that book literally won’t exist. Cry about digital platforms all you want, but paying for those chapters is the only reason physical copies ever see the light of day...
Plus most digital platforms allow you to earn their currency FOR FREE. I have around 15 manhwas fully unlocked on T-pas and I paid zero dollars; all I did was free ink events and fortune cookie. So yeah, you don't actually have to spend too much money (or any at all) to support legally.
Exactly. It’s a scam.
I'm not wasting my time collecting those coins for free when I don't even get to own what I purchased.
Not my fault billion/million dollar companies set up a wacky system where it's a lose lose situation for authors, paying buyers, and potential buyers if the big wigs decide to pull the plug.
No matter how you glaze those corpos, they don't care about the readers morality or feelings bec. that entity has neither. They just want to make money even if it means blindsiding readers and authors with bad decisions. Many tapas users complained that instead of investing their money in improving Tapas, kakao execs pumped it into AI animations and anti piracy. If they used their brain and actually put more effort in advertising and making Tapas more attractive to potential buyers instead, maybe theyd be getting money.
Now they're screwing over dedicated readers because of their poor decisions. Mind you they didn't even state any refunds for all the money spent on the purchases there. And didn't inform authors ahead of time aout their decision. Plain and simple, they don't gaf about readers AND authors. Illegal readers were never the main issue, but we became common scapegoats by corpos because it's easier for them to pass the blame than actually try to fix their broken and predatory system.
Another good reason why I don't wanna invest in buying digital purchases btw

If these platforms don't even care enough to retain foreign authors, then that means they view foreign readers the same. They just milk the int. readers money and then drop them when it's convenient. Not wasting my hard earned money on that.
The tenctacle guy's ability aided in masking the presence of this anomaly in the town and makes him blend in easily.
He is way more scarier of a threat compared to the first two anomalies imo. Like, the tentacle guy was someone who yearns for connection but doesn't have enough experience on how to do it in a normal way that's why he attacked the glasses guy first. But his timid personality and sensitivity made him easy to pacify.
Mr. Werewolf is generally well behaved despite a part of him is being controlled by his baser instincts. It's his rut that made him lose his mind. And even then, I don't think he has any intention of actually killing his caretaker.
But oh boy, this headless guy... The dude enjoys inflicting psychological terror by making his murder and rape threats a definitive promise. He does these things knowingly and willingly. Out of all the anomalies, 4 eyes really got the worst one lmao
Also, ugh, I hate that my headcanon about 4 eyes came true but in the worst possible way.
