I wish she were more commercially greedy, then she'd want to spread all this information around to get everybody sucked into the world she created rather than want to hide it.
Speaking as a foreign fan, this is some serious culture shock to us, because the first thing foreign fandoms tend to do whenever a series becomes popular is to make a whole wikia page out of them. This is especially true for complicated series like Kubera, where such sites are used to help readers keep track and get more into the story. I mean, just have a look at the Naruto, My Little Ponies, Game of Thrones, even Tower of God wikia pages.
Some series go out of their way to increase reader immersion. Star Trek for example has its own Klingon language, and some fans actually learn it. J.K. Rowling made a whole book with trivia on the Harry Potter world. Conversely, fans go out of their way to immerse themselves in said world, just look at the number of fans making their own Naruto or MLP OCs. If there were more information on the everyday lives of Sura, I'm sure lots of fans would be making their own Sura OCs, but Currygom neither releases such info nor encourages OC creation in the KuCa (to my knowledge, anyway. There is a roleplaying section, but you're limited to humans I think? Anyway I never figured out how that works)
It's a pity, because readers who are more dedicated to the series and its world are much more likely to buy merchandise and such (which Currygom could be making more of, by the way). Which is why I'm saying that it's a pity that Currygom isn't greedier. Then she'd encourage any activity that would spread the popularity of her series. >_>
Please Currygom, won't you become a greedy pig?

On top of that, the books contain extra stuff that I'd like.
