Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.

Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!

It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!

I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha

I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then

I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...

The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.

It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.

Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.

I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.

I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.

Me: hmm well I'm kinda fading out of hyperfixation with D2 back to casual interest but I'm still super invested in this one fic author's ocs, lemme just open this Transformers/Destiny 2 crossover that they did for the hunter in their fireteam so I have something to read during lunch and then I can hop on those Hollow Knight longfics I've been saving for break-

Me 56 chapters later, a goddamn mess:

parksborn au where harry is a prince. that’s it. i’m not awake enough to think of anything else but harry is a prince and somehow him and peter become best friends as kids and grow up constantly aware of each other and the struggles they face but their struggles are completely opposite from each other’s and and. and. and.

How to explain that going to church makes me hurt and angry, but not going to church makes me sad and depressed.

by pure evil accident taob zuko's current mental state is the exact same as the one ive been stuck in for the past few weeks and that's a bit funny to me. like i started writing this chapter months ago and knew what i was doing with it even longer ago and suddenly ive manifested it into reality. we are both facing the horrors rn

[adamsappl]

anonymous sent: K but have you considered that Adam was apparently the "first soul in heaven" Meaning either he died before his entire family OR none of the rest of his family who died before him, like Abel, got to go to Heaven.

I have talked about this before actually!! my adam is of the timeline that he was the only one in his family to go to heaven, and that fact is one of the biggest reasons he got so much worse throughout his afterlife. adam is/was caught in a cycle of losing ... pretty much everything he cares about. first lilith, then the garden, then abel, then (upon death) eve and the rest of his family -- and being the only human soul in heaven for such a long time, he eventually found it easier to just stop caring about people. can't lose what he never had to begin with. the only person he's really cared about since his death is lute ( and, to a lesser extent, the exorcists as a whole ) but he's not just going to CHANGE because he cares about someone. they encourage his shitty behavior, if anything.

WHY the rest of early humanity went to hell, i don't know. but that complete disconnect from the rest of humanity after his death fucked adam up.
