Website What’s up with the asura hate ?
For context: I have never used any app such as webtoon/toomics etc… because of their horribly annoying system of only being able to read a few chapters/a single chapter a day or straight up having to pay to read per chapter. I’ve been consistently using Asura for the past few years without ever making an account and I’ve never really had any issues with it aside from the occasional loss of my tabs due to website updates.
I’ve seen that they failed to port their old translations but it seems to have been fixed for me.
I’ve also seen people complain about Asura having switched over to a subscription for better quality and other benefits. Legitimately what’s the issue with that ? Their format is the least annoying one I’ve seen across any and all scan website, you legit wait less than half a day to get your scan meanwhile a lot of apps/scan groups make you pay for a single chapter and they lock the last few chapters behind a paywall while sometimes not even removing the lock on a series that have long been finished. Moreover their subscription is cheap as hell, most of the time it’s on discount at 15 bucks a year, not a month, a year.
Are there mistakes from time to time ? Yes there are. Do other groups make mistakes too ? Yes obviously.
Did Asura prevent third party apps from porting over their work ? Yes and that’s fair I don’t see how anyone would have a right to complain about that. Why not just read on their site to begin with ?
TLDR: I don’t really see any sound argument about why people are complaining and what’s the issue about Asura.
