| Thank you. You are a saint. |
| I've been searching for a thread like this, thanks for all your efforts. Though it does hurt to see all these rejected webtoons T-T |
 |
| Unfortunately, quite a few series that shouldn't have been rejected were rejected anyways. It seems like one of the mods indiscriminately rejected entries classified as manhwa and manhua, because many webtoons that were misclassified as manga are still up. Granted, it was only about 20 or 30 of them, and many of those had a duplicate entry that was spared, but it's a little disappointing nonetheless. |
| The one manhua I submitted was denied because "it's an unpublished webtoon." Except I submitted it when I found out it was released in print. Oh, I wish there was a better way to add sources to submissions without making the more info tab look like a mess. |

Lots of webtoons are great but they aren't in print so they can't be added. And now the ones that are still get denied :( |
|
| To be fair to the anime mod that denied it, my entry was a dupe and the one previously submitted is still up. I already PM'd him with listings for the book. I just find it odd since I can find 2 book listings in the first page when I google its native name. |

| I've gradually resubmitted most of the series that needed to be resubmitted, so I'm actually not worried about it. In fact, it was a real learning experience, and I've begun submitting more webtoons just for fun, haha. @Maora I don't know what your entry looked like, but my conjecture is that the mod in question quickly checked the pictures of each entry and only kept the ones that looked like the covers of physical volumes (for example, this entry is still here despite not being published in print as far as I can tell). Given that most people don't even know if what they're submitting is unpublished or not (this goes for Japanese stuff as well), I can't say I blame them for assuming that a manhwa or manhua is unpublished unless proven otherwise, but it's pretty sloppy to be sure. |
| Honestly, I don't even remember since it was over a year since my submission. Lol I can only assume it was similar to my submission for Zero Point Idol (minus the accidental "manga" tag). Maybe I forgot to add the publisher information, but I'm 100% sure the image I used was the same one this Chinese Amazon listing has. I'm not that worried about it though. I use another site for webtoons/comics. |

| I'm curious since there's a lot of manga that I want to add to my list but they aren't approved so someone know how the mods decide what to approve and what not? They approve the famous manga before everything else? They choose at random? They need more staff to approve everything in the waiting list? |

What series get approved first is entirely up to the discretion of the mods. This post goes into a little more detail regarding mod priorities. And yes, there is a dire shortage of staff (1-3 volunteers for a job that requires something like 20+). |

| It's on their announcements. I doesn't look like a mess that it used to be. They also mentioned that there is a possibility for webtoons to be added in the future, but they're currently not ready for that mess. |

| it's rare to see this kind of good threads on MAL, gj man I see Arigatights has been in the pending queue for a while now smh |
spyda89 said: juandmarco said: You have to add it from the author's page, and that takes really long to be approved too. typically a mod will add the author when approving an entry but since there's only 1 active mod and he's being overworked he must have forgot Nah we're still 3 people thankfully, even if not everyone is active all the time. It's not that rare to be inactive for some weeks when you're busy IRL, I was on hiatus for the entire January too. Those were approved by someone else, not sure who or why the authors aren't added, maybe they wanted to approve more entries and add all authors at once... I'll fix it if they're still not added by the end of the week. |

I'll fix it if they're still not added by the end of the week. well, it's the end of the week and the pages have not been fixed yet, looks like they actually forgot also I have noticed that Samurai 8 was added today which means they skipped 3 rounds of Weekly Shonen Jump manga (5 manga) and jumped straight to the newest one and i don't really understand why all weekly shonen jump all officially licensed in English for the west here's all 5, I added the authors for the ones that are not already in the db if that helps for adding them faster Momiji no Kisetsu https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=148651 Kimi wo Shinryakuseyo! https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=148643 Tanaka Seiji https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=149005 The Last Saiyuki https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=153104 Kamio Yui wa Kami wo Yui https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=153227 Someone asked in this thread to add it https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1779161 and he was lucky... hope that many other big titles will be added soon... for now, I'll add them to an excel file or I'll forgot what was the last chapter I have read XD |

The following manga have been newly approved since I last checked: Yowai 5000-nen no Soushoku Dragon, Iware naki Jaryuu Nintei: Yada Kono Ikenie, Hito no Hanashi wo Kiite Kurenai Saeki-san to, Hitotsu Yane no Shita: I'll Have Sherbet! Saeki-san wa Nemutteru Meguro-san wa Hajimete ja Nai Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku Yowai 5000-nen no Soushoku Dragon, Iwarenaki Jaryuu Nintei all of these don't have an author info in them too A moderator has to add it. |

| How do you guys know what manga was submitted or approved? |
These have been previously rejected. IIRC they need to belong to a reputable publishing company. I.2.8 Webcomics/Webtoons Comics distributed via independent digital platforms (e.g. pixiv, Naver) or online retailers (e.g. Amazon, ebookjapan) which are later distributed in print by a reputable publishing company in the country of origin. |
| Just saw now that Mato Seihei no Slave got approved, nice https://myanimelist.net/manga/116880 |

| the last saiyuki anyone??? |
| I like how this thread is updated faster than MAL approves manga submissions. |
Thorf said: the last saiyuki anyone??? Fun fact: that manga has the current record for most duplicate submissions in the queue (not counting rejected web comics), with 16. It's still only half of what Chainsaw Man had before it got approved though... |
