ComicK, a piracy site allowing you to read a wide variety of manga, manhwa, and manhua, recently shut down a couple of days ago. The UI was amazing, you were able to make customized reading list, the community was interactive and very nice to be a part of, and on top of all of that, it was FREE! That was all taken away because of this greedy and malicious company. Not only did they get this site shut down after it’s been in use for YEARS, they also paraded their “victory” on a Twitter post like they were doing a public service. On top of all of this, I also only learned recently that these guys have some very predatory business practices and treat their artist like trash. There’s even an article out there about a female artist whom they literally forced her to work while she was pregnant and the stress led to her having a miscarriage. You can probably find info about it with a quick Google search. I might not be able to do much since I’m just a regular guy from the states, but I will HIGHLY recommend not supporting anything that these guys are affiliated with.

This app is extremely frustrating. The interface feels outdated and hard to navigate, pages take forever to load, and there are constant glitches that interrupt reading. On top of that, the payment system is confusing and unreliable, with purchases sometimes not showing up at all. Customer support is unresponsive and unhelpful, making it impossible to resolve issues. Overall, a very disappointing experience — I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.

KakaoPage is a nightmare for international users. Want to read mature content? Too bad—age verification is locked behind Korean phone carriers. Trying to pay? Good luck, unless you’ve got a Korean SIM and a miracle. The app’s UI feels like it was designed in 2010 and never updated. And the endless parade of recycled isekai plots? Exhausting. Meanwhile, global platforms are thriving while KakaoPage clings to outdated policies like a stubborn relic. It’s frustrating, inaccessible, and tone-deaf to its non-Korean audience. Fix it or fade into irrelevance
