    Is there any way to access this site? It feels like the actively have made it impossible to access in some countries. I live in Korea and I cant access normally, with a VPN or with TOR. Like it makes very little sense why this is the case to start with. Why are they banning IPs at all to start with?

    in their words, it's to prevent aggregators from stealing their content

    Seems a bit absurd tbh. Guess I will just never read anything from that site for now on.

    Also a bit funny that there are still aggregators taking the translation from their site anyways. By doing what they are doing blocking so many people out. They probably are actually losing site traffic from netting less.

    well...yes. any and all methods to combat aggregator inevitably lead to making the reader experience worse and driving traffic towards aggregators

    They are also losing visitors with the google translator block, another bad movement. XD

    Can't say much about other countries but banning kr ip sounds not too unreasonable.

    Just wait a few months, with the payment scheme they have they are going to end up closing shop soon and someone else is going to take over the translation.

    Yeah, I haven't been back since the switch to the new site format.

    Reading history is gone. Purchased credits are gone (I had a good bit). And now chapters I had already unlocked are locked.
