WEBTOON: Manga, Comics, Manhwa

This new UI is horrible, and the pop-up ads in particular are abysmal for several reasons. First, when I open the app 9/10 times I just want to get to a series that updated, and anything that pops up I'm going to get out of the way ASAP or sometimes accidentally press. The quality is also terrible- the ads do idiotic things like misrepresent the point of the comic or even misgender the protagonist. And yeah, the ads are often for comics I already read- a waste of everyone's time. Go back plz.

If y'all don't stop forcing comics into my "currently reading" list I'm uninstalling, so help me. Click the X on an ad for another webtoon? Nah, you clearly want to read that. Now you have to delete it from your list. Sometimes I boot up the app to find stuff I never even once clicked on in my list. The other day it opened up a comic I have never read and put me on page 130 something as if I'd been reading it all along. This has been going on for months and it's obnoxious.

It used to be a great app before the pay wall. One story they have on there is priced at 549 coins to read the entire thing. That's 50$ worth of coins! Granted they have ways to earn coins for free but it's miniscule winnings at best with forced downloads of random apps that also have pay walls. Just use an AD wall man, I'd gladly watch 100 ads than pay $50 for a single story.

Was a premium subscriber for a few years, gave it a 5 star rating. They recently changed the premium so you get less of a discount, thus you pay more coins per episode and in exchange you don't get ads and get a coupon for their shop. It was offered as an "upgrade" but is really just them giving me less for the same price. I'd rather watch ads and keep my discount where it was. I unsubscribed. If I get the option to go back to my original plan, I might change my rating, but not likely.

I've been reading webtoons for at least 10 years now. I love them! I understand that ads support the authors and are quite necessary, but if you dont remove the 6 second ads from the top of my screen when I open something to read, I will refuse to ever touch this app again. I liked the feel of the app because it feels clean and like I had a choice in watching ads to support. Now, the screen feels cramped for 6 seconds when I open anything to read.
