Original post

Heartbeat Conquest (131 episodes) is being removed on 2025-02-28 (possibly 2025-02-27).

FAQ:

  • "What does this mean?"
    It means you can't read it, you can't look at the comments, you can't unlock episodes (no Daily Pass), you can't Like it, and you can't even see the series page.
  • "When will it be removed?"
    My best guess is 2025-03-01 02:01 UTC (2025-02-28 21:01 EST, 18:01 PST). It may be a day earlier. It might be ahead of schedule if the rights owner demands it (like one author once did).
  • "But there are still episodes locked behind Fast Pass??"
    The episodes will become Free in batches, up to the final day. The finale episode seems to be scheduled for the last day, while every other episode will be Free two days before that (or earlier). You can also use ad unlock for the next six Fast Pass episodes.
  • "How do I unlock with ads?"
    You must use the WEBTOON app, set to English.
    The unlock lasts for three days.
  • "Can I still read episodes I unlocked?"
    Yes, if you unlocked with coins.
    You will find them in the "UNLOCKED" tab in the "MY" section of the app.
    However, you can only coin unlock a Daily Pass or Fast Pass episode. While an episode is Free, you can't coin unlock it. Therefore, you would need to Fast Pass these episodes before they go Free.
  • "Can I use the Download feature?"
    The Download feature lets you read episodes in the "MY > DOWNLOADS" tab for 30 days.
    The Download feature only works on FREE episodes, so you can't download Fast Pass episodes (even if you buy them). You need to wait for them to become free.
    Note that the downloads are stored locally on your device, and you can only download an episode once (until you reinstall the app).
    It is unknown whether it works for removed serieses, but it's such an old and forgotten feature that it probably does.
  • "Why is this happening?"
    It is speculated that it's because this title is licensed from Peanutoon, which [announced last month that it is shutting down, with no stated plans for another company to take over the rights (to the horror of authors and readers). The series MAY come back some day with a different publisher, but it's unclear.
  • "Are there any other titles being removed?"
    No other title currently has this banner, at least in English.
    Previously, Ann's titles were removed after an announcement, but the removal was earlier than scheduled. "Get Schooled" was immediately removed after controversy in a new arc (no, it wasn't "just" because of the N-word). I have heard, but not confirmed, that a Star Wars series was removed once.
  • "Is this worth reading?"
    See comments below.

There have been a few posts about Heartbeat Conquest already, but I'm making one myself to trigger "SubscribeMe!" automation (though I don't know if it even works). See the above post for more info.
