Porn Advertising is Atrocious

66 Upvotes

I used to love this site and have been a big time reader of comics for roughly the last decade, however the decline of the site is genuinely starting to cause concern lately due to the amount of porn related pop-up ads. Even with using Ad-Block Plus (and other varieties of ad blockers), i’m subjected to constant fake exits from ads that redirect me to scam porn games or bullshit links like “porngallery.to” It’s truly revolting to see this happen to one of my favorite sites for reading comics. Has anyone else noticed the up-tick in these garbage advertisements?

UPDATE 4/10/2025: For all those lost souls looking to simply indulge in comics rather than be berated by anime porn ads, please check out Batcave. I’ve been reading Kick-Ass as a test and got through the entire first book with only one ad for War Thunder which actually closed rather than redirect. Not using an adblock either. Not sure how many comics are on the site, but they have a solid variety. If the dudes who own ReadComicOnline wanna shill out and lose the fans who support them, fuck em.

Ads Stopping Me From Reading Comics

30 Upvotes

I used ReadComicOnline back when the new Ultimate Spider-Man started and it worked fine, but I've come back to read Absolute Batman and suddenly the site is unusable. The ads are covering the page itself and I can't even hit the button to zoom out because they're blocking it. Does anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

Just started getting this message when I try to load a comic:

"Sorry, you have been blocked

Mihon Alternatives

17 Upvotes

As many of you probably know, the site has been inaccessible via mihon for a while now. If you need your comic fix via mihon there are some alternatives while the site (hopefully temporarily) isn't accessible.

XOXOComics and Read Comic Online (not to be confused with ReadComicsOnline) have a decent enough backlog to work temporarily. They don't have everything, but hopefully the main site gets fixed soon.

Site no longer usable

14 Upvotes

I've tried different ad blockers and different browsers, my phone and laptops. I can't even read one comic without other websites taking over the browser completely. You can't even back out of it. It's really sad because so many people spent so much time adding so much old material there.

Banned?

Today I’m getting a message that says I’m blocked because an action I performed triggered the security solution.

As far as I know I haven’t done anything to warrant this.

I have a Cloudflare Ray ID and suggestion to email the site owner. I hesitate doing this with no more information.

Appreciation post

12 Upvotes

This post is more of an appreciation.

I don't remember exactly when I discovered and used the website, but I have been on it for almost a decade, or even more. I read a shit ton of works on it, a lot of them are decent, but some are excellent.

So I am curious at how you folks discovered it, and which country, or continent if you feel like being cautious at this point.

This place really saved me so many time and solved so many trouble finding where to find specific works I wanted to read, especially for fans like me in North Africa (or Africa in general) I really don't have access nor the means to access the real stuff; I want physical copies; so when money will be available I'll definitely buy the works that I really enjoyed and loved (100 bullets, Scalped, Habibi, Asterios Polyp, etc... to name a few)

So here's to you all lads, and have a great day.

(I just wanted to see if Readcomiconline has a subreddit, so here we are)

VPN being blocked

9 Upvotes

Working off my phone with a free VPN, the bastards are totally blocking it with Google's "Sorry, you've been blocked" screen popping up every time I try to load it with the VPN active. Anyone got a way of adblocking that's still working well, or should I think about swapping to a different site?


r/ReadComicOnline • • Jul 04 '24

Are they blocking access through comic/manga reader apps?

9 Upvotes

I've been trying both Paperback and Tachimanga on iOS. Through Tachymanga, any US IP seems to be blocked. I can access them for a time through VPN servers in other countries, but those end up blocked after a few days too. In Paperback, it just doesn't work at all. The website works fine using a browser though, so I'm wondering if they're trying to stop people from reading comics off their site ad-free.

If this is happening to you, turn off your adblock, it's what's causing the issue. You can turn it back on once you've loaded the website.

Pop Ups

8 Upvotes

Using an IPAD to read. Have tried Brave and all other browsers with lots of different ad block extensions. No other site gives me pop ups like this one does now. Everytime I turn a page I get a new page opening with an ad. Anyone have suggestions or is this just how it is now?

What’s wrong with the site?

8 Upvotes

I went to readcomiconline.li and the site wouldn’t open. I hope everything is okay and the site will be up and running again soon.

The message said:

“Checking if the site connection is secure - This check is taking longer than expected. Check your Internet connection and refresh the page if the issue persists.”

There’s no problem with my connection.

Great site. I hope they resolve things.

If they changed the site name/address, I hope they make it known.

Is there a way to upload comics to the site or request uploads?

I use Android and recently switched mobile phones. And today was my first time trying to download a page from Readcomiconline website's comics, as I always did easily with my former one; also an Android

7 Upvotes

I can't download the page images, pressing my finger on it

I can download images from Google, even from the comic website covers; but when I enter a comic issue I can't download it

Tried looking upon mobile and even Chrome settings; nothing

The Contact Us option from the website requires a Messenger/Meta/Facebook account, and I had problems acquiring/entering/creating one

did RCO change the loading way?

6 Upvotes

Hi, some 4 days ago I logged in and the site is the same with only a few minor changes:

They're asking image capcha before the comic shows up. A little bothersome but no problem. I've seen them do this before.

The other is the loading way. On full comic view it loads the images with a bit of buffer as you scroll. last week it used to load the whole thing in one go. Am I the only one expereinceing this? or has anyone noticed this as well?
