That book that got roasted a while back for stanning Won Gyun.

But the bigger issue here lies in the structure of the publishing industry.

According to the article above, Korea has a 'Legal Deposit' system.

It's a system where the National Assembly Library is required to archive domestic publications, and the article discusses how AI publishing is exploiting this.

Basically, if you mass-produce random books using AI, the National Assembly Library ends up buying this trash with taxpayer money. If it's an e-book, the production cost is practically zero.

And it doesn't stop at the National Assembly Library; regular public libraries nationwide end up stocking this garbage too.

As a result, AI-translated books are flooding the market.

They're even publishing public domain books—doesn't matter if they're Korean or English—just to farm some easy cash.

So, the reason they published this 80k won pile of burning trash might not just be some braindead attempt to honor Won Gyun. It's highly likely they're trying to exploit the library system to 'infinite money glitch' their way into farming 80k won per copy. That makes the situation even worse.
