Question though: will they actually update those series regularly? Or did they just put those up as samples for potential publishers?

For now they are uploaded in the Bookfair directory, which means it's probably a temporary thing to attract attention. There are quite a few errors in the scripts (at least in ToG), which makes me believe they are indeed just samples. For now.

not good these are quite bad.

 

tC is the best

[themantarays]

Ah, so many new series to read!!

[Phantaminum the Riddle]

AWESOME!

[DarkPrince]

Holy heck! This is freakin' Awesome!!! and pretty much all the webtoons I read are here too [crying happy face]

[naren]

oh yea!!god is so great!

[magnificent]

If we all click all the chapters and generate enough web traffic.....

[AishiteruJae]

The problem is that they've only translated the first few chapters, and people aren't really going to be that interested in this unless they continue to update... I really don't see the point in re-tranlating the stuff that's already been translated, but I don't think that Naver is going to do that either. Maybe if they released english versions of newer chapters people would check it out a lot, but unless they're faster than translators, I don't see the point. Plus, how many people are going to know about this? idk. I'm still hopeful for this tho.

Well, as (what? none of them, right?) they hadn't been updated/added to with more translated chapters since the initial effort, it'd seem pretty obvious it was done solely for that one-time event with no intention to do more. 

[Schro]

well, they stated that it was just promotional:

 

Welcome to NAVER WEBTOON!

This is a promotional website and some of the samples of our most popular webtoons are available.

If you have any inquiries about webtoons, please contact 'NAVER Webtoon'.

 

Dunno why they would do that tho... I know it's promotional but how are we supposed to read Korean if they didn't catch up to the latest chapter of every webtoon? :/

Well, I'd assume their fondest wish for that little come-on was that some commercial inquiry would be the result. In other words someone wanting to pay them for rights to rehost/publish/translate whatever.

[Yaomo]

if everybody who's interested in reading webtoons in english contacts them begging for more, maybe they'll be convinced that there's a big enough market to start translating seriously.

So yeah I'd like to support Naver but I want to actually read beyond the first 11 chapters of TOG and naver doesn't look like its going to get to the latest chapter anytime soon, so what do I do? Wait three years?

A little explaining here.

This thing was a demonstration, when SIU and some other artists went to Germany. No more chapters.

But. A month ago or so, they launched the official version. Some comics, like ToG, are updated to the new chapters. Some others (like Kubera) will take years to get to the present chapters.

1. Not very good translations. They are getting better, but still pretty bad.

2. Change of names. The korean fans have already said the new names are more close to their original pronunciation, but to us, fans that have been reading the names for one year, it's a bit hard to get used to.

3. It's only for mobile. tC, though, did a computer friendly version.

Mobile version: http://m.webtoons.com/

tC version: http://thcmpny.com/naver.html

Enjoy .

 

PD: Naver has made batoto stop posting translations, but, in case you're spanish, those scans continue translating the comic.
