Letter

Heya Taters,

Long time no update.

I’ve been dreading writing this letter for months now, avoiding why I’m not posting here for the past year. I owe you all an explanation. Some older readers who’ve been with me know that I joke around a lot but I wanted this to be a bit serious. I apologize for any grammatical errors but I wanted this to be as authentic as possible - straight from me.

In 2023, my last update was about Hello Baby’s launch. I was very excited. Thankful with Webtoon, they’ve been true to their word to help me with the launch. I am grateful. But the promise is starting to fade, as many other beautiful series are also being launched every day. I felt so down. Even trying to ask if I am still a worthy comic creator…

As there are a lot of people who have been very supportive with my work, there are also a lot of people who criticized my work. I can’t blame them - the internet is a free space.
The only wrong thing I’ve done was that I listened more to the people criticizing my work. It made me feel so bad about my work. About myself.

I am wondering if Webtoon is still for me? I can’t explain it well but I feel very left out. Maybe the management doesn't see any potential with my work anymore. I’ll be honest that it’s not doing numbers like Age Matters but I understand because everything is business. Age Matters did slightly well but Hello Baby? No. My editors don’t even bother to contact me unlike during Age Matters. You know how it feels when you’re left hanging in a relationship? Lol. They even asked me to stop updating Patreon and to focus on creating the Webtoon but f*cc it… I’ll continue to update here with what’s happening now. XD This sounds like a rant but I feel very betrayed after all the promises and stuff. They didn’t even post anything but the book 1 released. ToT The pre-order details about Age Matters book 2 are only there because I talked with them.

This is why I wanted to focus more on my personal work right now, during Hello Baby’s final season and maybe after. That’s why I’m creating more personal art stuff - starting with Play House (now on Canvas and soon on other sites) and another new GL I’ve been wanting to do. Of course, the R18 spicy versions are going to be posted here - exclusively! It’s been a while since I last did a GL, Third Party was around 2017? Hah. My friends are even telling me to try BL so I will complete all the genres now. Haha. But I’ll think about it, since I have a lot of stories I want to share. I want to try new things.

TLDR: I went into a spiral of depression the past year. I was so lost. I’ve not been very active with my socials as I was before but I am trying to get back. I don’t want to mind the negativity and only focus on the positive things happening to me and my works.

I want to apologize for the irresponsibility. I ignored all the help that my friends (my assistants) were trying to give me but I was wrong. I NEEDED the help, thank god I realized it. Now, I am listening more to all the positive comments and suggestions - I want to focus more on my own work. My self, as a creator.

PS: I am proud to announce new talented assistants that are collaborating with me for the patreon rewards.

PPS: I am safe for now. Yesterday, the studio almost got flooded by a strong Typhoon. This is the first time our area's been reached with water. I am thinking of moving to a better area ToT I hate and love my country at the same time.
