Why Are You Still Paying Full Price?
If you're binge-reading Solo Leveling, Tower of God, or Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint at regular coin prices, you're doing it wrong. After years of reading across multiple platforms, I've compiled the ultimate guide to saving money while supporting your favorite creators.
Platform-Specific Strategies
WEBTOON (LINE Webtoon)
- Daily Pass System: Wait 24 hours between episodes to read for free—patience pays off

- First-Time Buyer Bonus: New users get up to 50% extra coins on first purchase
Tapas
- Ink Rewards: Earn free Ink by completing daily tasks and reading free series

Manta
- Subscription Model: $4.99/month for unlimited reading—best value if you read 10+ chapters monthly

Cross-Platform Tips
- Gift Cards at Discount: Buy Google Play or Apple gift cards during sales (Black Friday, holiday deals) for 10-15% off
- Bundle Purchases: Larger coin packages always offer better per-coin value
- Seasonal Events: Major holidays (Christmas, New Year, Halloween) bring the biggest discounts—stock up then
Legal Free Reading Options
Many series release free episodes weekly on official apps. Bookmark your favorites and set notifications. Platforms like Tappytoon and Lezhin also rotate free series monthly.
Pro Tip: The 50/50 Rule
Spend on your absolute favorites to support creators directly, but use free methods for casual reads. This way, you enjoy more content while ensuring artists get paid for the series you love most.
