Dear Killing Stalking fandom: Could you please STOP your fucking discourse for a moment and pay attention to this? THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW!
Well, although I asked all of you in the most polite way to support Koogi and stop reading Killing Stalking illegally on websites like Mangago, Kissmanga, Mangafox etc … and instead buy the chapters of Killing Stalking in LEZHIN.COM the OFFICIAL WEBSITE WITH THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION. (http://www.lezhin.com/en/comic/killingstalking)
Many of you just gave silly excuses or preferred to make fun of it as if this was a joke.
“I do not have the money to pay for it”
“I am 15, I have no money and I can’t ask my parents for money!”
“I read the manhwa, it’s very good but it’s not something I would pay for. Anyway, I’ll keep reading it (illegally).”
“I am poor, not everyone has money to pay for it”
“I don’t understand English or Korean, what the fan translators do and also these pages (again, ILLEGAL PAGES) is to help people understand these stories.The author should be grateful for this”
“It’s the author’s fault! Why don’t they translate it into more languages? I do not understand English or Korean!!”
“I do NOT care if the author finds out about these illegal pages, they are going to continue drawing and publishing the chapters and I will continue reading it in mangafox, mangago …”
AND MORE… AND MORE FUCKING EXCUSES…
You have a smart phone, a laptop / computer, and of course you have internet service. I deduce it because you can come and tell me all these silly excuses thanks to it. So, is it very difficult for you to save $ 4/3 to buy 4 chapters and support the artist?
You can not buy it now?!?!? Mmm… But what do you think if you can buy it later, I don’t know, 1 month later? Is it too little time for you to collect $ 4?… what about 2 months??? Time does not matter, if you buy it you will be supporting the artist!!!
Do you really have no friends on the internet or in your social circle with whom you can join and collect some money, make an account on lezhin.com for all of you and support the artist by reading Killing Stalking legally?
You do not have money to pay the chapters because you are a MINOR and that is your excuse? So …. Why is a MINOR reading a R-18 manwha that is obviously aimed at an ADULT AUDIENCE?
If you read it and you think it “is not worth spending money on it” but you will still read it on illegal pages just to keep the hype and be popular. So I just have to tell you that you’re just a big jerk.
You blame the artist because they don’t make a translation into your native language!
You blame the artist because you are a damn slack who can’t learn English or you simply are not interested in learning / understanding that language. You blame the artist for YOUR own incompetence, laziness and disinterestednes.
(And don’t come to tell me that you need money to go to English classes.There are many people who have learned English on their own without a teacher. If you are interested in learning another language you will find a way to learn it so it doesn’t matter if you have money or not.)
And, what is the important news? What is the point of all this?
Well, you who give excuses to continue reading illegally, have succeeded!!!!!
All these people have made Koogi know about the foreign fandom and with it the translations and illegal websites!!!!!
You have even managed to get Koogi feel guilty about it !!! *claps*
“I heard that there’s a lot of piracy abroad. I am really thankful for all the love, but this makes me quite sad. It’s disrespectful for the readers who are using the coin system, and in return, I feel guilty as well. I want the illegal posting to stop.” (x)
**Thanks to @onnano-hito for allowing me to use their translation!!**
And when she says she’s sorry, she’s actually using a very serious word, like she’s the only one to blame for all this happening. In fact, she’s literally saying something like “I’m the only one to blame, it’s all my fault, I really do apologize”
Koogi is not guilty of all the things I said above.
It’s not her fault that you don’t have money or that you don’t understand Korean or English. It’s not her fault that in your country there are certain circumstances that don’t allow you to buy or enter the page (lezhin.com).
It’s not her fault that people are such a motherfucker who can’t feel empathy and simply don’t care about the feelings of other people. People who don’t care about the feelings of that person who is writing and drawing the story that they are enjoying right now.
The other problem is that there are also Korean pages that are publishing Koogi’s work for free.
Koogi should already be fed up with the people of her own country spreading her work to now have to be dealing with people from abroad!!!
But what right now makes me really angry are all those comments in Koogi’s tweet, making memes and telling her several of the things I mentioned in this post.
After reading her work illegally, with what fucking face do you go to her twitter to clomplain and tell her that it’s her fault that YOU are reading her work illegally?
THIS IS THE SAME AS SPITTING HER IN THE FACE !!!!
And there are still people complaining that when you tell your parents that you want to be artists, writers, painters, etc … your parents tell you:
“Being an artist will not leave you enough money to live. You’re going to starve!”
For stupid people like these who make silly excuses to keep reading and getting free stuff, without supporting the artist, who you don’t know how much time, money and effort they have spent to make the next chapter that you are waiting for …..
For those people, sometimes I think that phrase is very right.
As an add, if you want to support the artist and want to know how and where to do it, here I will leave the link of the post that I did.

Please reblog this and also support the artist.
And in the most thoughtful way I ask you NOT to go to Koogi’s Twitter and put your fucking excuses, you’re making her feel bad and guilty. I also warn you not to be surprised if she ends up canceling this manwha.
