This guide is for overseas readers outside of Korea, who want to buy novel or manhwa chapters on Bomtoon.
Bomtoon is a Korean novel website where you can officially purchase raws.
Create an account or log in to Bomtoon
I recommend turning on the in-browser translator to navigate the website. If you're on Chrome desktop, you can click the 3 dots at the top right corner, then click "Translate...".
Go to Bomtoon and click on the user profile icon.
Then, either use a social authentication method (e.g. Google, Facebook, etc.) or your email address to create an account. To use your email address, click the "Join the membership" button and go through the steps.
Buying Bomtoon Credits
Click the Coin icon in the navigation bar.
Select the amount you want to add to your account, then select "Overseas credit card" as the payment method. You can also use Paypal if you want.
Tick the agreement boxes and click Recharge.
A small window will pop up to process the payment and collect your card details. Click on "ENGLISH" in the small window that opens.
Go through the rest of the form in English, and your credits will be added to your account.
