In WeComics, shells are the free currency. For example, let’s take WeComics and their two primary currencies, coins and shells. If you’ve never played a mobile game in your life, the way currency systems like this work is simple: there is a currency you pay for and one you don’t. It’s actually a pretty standard mobile microtransaction model, just settled around reading rather than around playing another round of a Match 3 game. Lezhin is interesting in that there are three currencies (Coins, Bonus Coins, and Points). It’s actually only on WeComics.Įvery application has its own economy structured around a minimum of two separate currencies. If you want to read the official translation of the manhua companion to the extremely popular Chinese television show the Untamed, The Master of Diabolism however, well it’s not on either of those applications. Well, now that you’re on Lezhin and you’ve bought into their currency model, that’s fine, you’ll be able to read the sequel to King’s Maker there, right? Well, not exactly because King’s Maker: Triple Crown is actually on Tappytoon. Want to read the aforementioned King’s Maker? You’re only going to find it on Lezhin. WebToons operate in a sense similar to platform exclusivity. In many ways their unique digital platform also lends incredibly well to microtransactions, and it’s interesting to see the different ways that different applications and websites have chosen to monetize their content. Their strange page shape means they’re less likely to be adapted into physical form (though you can find some print versions of popular WebToons like King’s Maker) and their online nature also lends itself to more prurient content. WebToons are a unique construct of the digital age digital manhwa intended to be read on smartphones, they’re not quite webcomics and not quite graphic novels. Tappytoon will only let me do this 30 times in an hour.
#JUST GIVE IT TO ME WEBTOON PLUS#
I’m testing a theory I have that watching these ads will never give me more than 10 points, one of the two primary currencies in Tappytoon, despite the implication of the UI that shows a plus sign next to the 10, an implication that just once I may roll the dice and get slightly more points than a measly 10. Every thirty seconds I reach over and close an ad, starting up a new one. As I write this article, my phone is next to me, open to the webtoon reading app Tappytoon.
