Moving on―
I mainly read BL (Sign is bae), but occasionally read mature/sfw straight romances (Capture is ), and horror/thrillers (Save Me/Freakquency).

I'll mainly be ranting here, but inviting @saintc and @Jenny-Toons for maximum power.

Yeah, but did you know you can not reach every comic from your phone? I'm not an expert(maybe I did something wrong), but I tried to continue reading a comic on my ipad what I've started on my destop, but I couldn't... I typed its title on the searchbar and it did not give to me. So I assume mobile device users can only see promoted stuff there.

I think it's just that NSFW content is blocked on the app? (At least, the Iphone app. Can't speak for Android lol) I mostly use the website because of that.

It also may've been taken down by the author. But ya, I only use lezhin plus, since I read nsfw often.

No, it was not taken down. I could continue reading on my pc and it is still on the website if you see it from pc. You can check it by yourself. That comic called Royal Servant. It's BL.

probably... but it is a shame if it is...

spicy_sweets 2018-12-11 15:39:08 UTC #7

You probably don't see it on the app bc iphone may not allow the nsfw version, which is what I use.

kimketli 2018-12-11 15:42:05 UTC #8

Okay, so it is not the website. Now I just hate apple more than I did before.
Ty for the info!

Was gonna link you how I got it but

rip
least you can read it on the site (；´∀｀)

kimketli 2018-12-11 15:50:06 UTC #10

I think I will install it on my android phone. I use ipad for drawing and it was great for reading comic because the big screen but screw it apple... gahhh... They also killed Tumblr. >__<

Well, the authors get more or less $2000 initial payment PLUS the 30% from the royalties xD Lezhin isn't that bad (although if you were following the events surrounding them, I guess they are THAT bad)

I've been reading 4 Cut hero, but dropped it when I saw season 2. So I just binge read so much Dogma, What does the fox say, and a pervert's daily life ( oh wait these are NSFWs xD) and hey, suddenly Lezhin decided to go full nuts which drove a ton of female creators to leave the company.

I couldn't go back anymore >_<)

spicy_sweets 2018-12-12 02:20:47 UTC #12

Yeahhhhh, I know. I'm earning free cpins so I'm not technically giving them my money, and am aware they still suck ass. I read pervert's daily life, but had to stop when the chick raped him in his sleep eAe

Dogma's good tho!! Have you read Pandora's Choice?

kimketli 2018-12-12 04:48:17 UTC #13

what were these events surrounding them? O.O why female creators left?

tsukiko 2018-12-12 13:17:32 UTC #14

Yeah dogma is a friggin masterpiece, I can't really believe this is a weekly series xD The details on them pages. Sadly, the author is one of those who got hit by the Lezhin controversy, so she's on another publisher now and they have no english translations available so... T_T)

I've read Pandora's choice but only the free chapters, I made a mistake on investing coins on long running series xD I was planning on checking other titles out, but you know how it is. My wallet is being guzzled by the coins too much (and I'm loving it in a masochistic way xD)

Duuuude it's a looong story, basically this image below

there were rallies outside of Lezhin HQ and stuff (by the authors and supporters I think) Court hearings and stuff. If you follow korean comic artists in twitter with that emblem on their profile pic, they've been hit by Lezhin. Short story is that there were a lot of unpaid works and favoritism and all the victims were the female authors.

I've read an article that the Lezhin CEO publicly apologized for this and making amends, but I don't know if things were fixed. I still see a ton of these emblems on twitter, but they've announced the contest already so...maybe things are getting better? Not really sure tho xD

oh wow... It is horrible.
