Why I’m deleting WEBTOON

Just kidding 🙈 (plz don’t hate me)

Hi, I KNOW most of us haven’t BEEN on webtoon in a hot min. If your like me, Webtoon was your best friend during the pandemic. But, then world turned back on and now you don’t got all that spare time anymore.

I’m here to say, if you have been needing a sign to go back on there, go check out my work! I’m a young author and I’m trying to get my webtoon to do well on there.

I finished, and signed with a publisher before I turned 18 back when I was still in high school. It was released over the summer when I was 18, and I guess it did all right in sales for my first book ever, but not the greatest. I originally wanted to have it on WEBTOON, but since some other family members of mine had gotten negative comments from self publishing. It meant a lot to me to have it published by a real publisher. They got stupid stuff like “oh your a published author? Really? OOHHHHhhh your self published that makes more sense”.

So I ditched the idea of self publishing and trying to make it work, just so I could feel like my accomplishment was real. I now recognize that that doesn’t really matter and I still get those same kind of comments when they ask how well it does.

However, I just got it cleared by my publishers, legal team to start posting on WEBTOON. However, since it’s basically a free platform and it could technically hinder any sales that I was making, it’s on a trial run. So I have to hit around 300 subscribers by August or there’s a chance that they’ll have me take it down.

Anyways, I come to you, to see if MAYBE, you’ll give it some love. I worked really hard on it, and I hope it’ll do well, but I only got a chance to do that if you check it out.

It’s called My Monster and it’s about a girl who comes home one day to find a monster only she can see.

... Read moreMy journey into the world of publishing and comics has been incredibly insightful, often challenging, but always rewarding. Many aspiring creators dream of seeing their work published, and for me, that dream came true before I even turned 18. However, getting a book out there is just the first step. I quickly learned about the nuances of public perception – particularly the difference people sometimes draw between traditionally published and self-published works. It was tough hearing comments that seemed to diminish an accomplishment simply because of how it came to be. It highlighted for me that the story itself, and the connection it makes with readers, are what truly matter, regardless of the path it took to get there. This experience really shaped my perspective on what success truly means for an author. Bringing my comic, 'My Monster,' to Webtoon felt like a natural yet strategic move. It's a platform with incredible reach, offering a unique space for artists and writers to connect directly with a massive audience. But the decision to post content that's already been published requires careful thought, balancing the desire for wider visibility with the practicalities of sales. That's why this trial run on Webtoon is so vital. It's a test to see if 'My Monster' can gain enough traction and community support to thrive on the platform. Every reader's engagement acts as a vote of confidence, helping to signal to the algorithm that a story is worth discovering. It’s a challenging but exciting phase, and the community's response truly makes all the difference for creators like me. If you’re on the lookout for a compelling new read, 'My Monster' delves into the life of a girl who encounters a mysterious creature that only she can perceive. The initial panels often depict a 'distressed character,' setting the stage for a journey filled with emotional depth and personal discovery. It’s more than just a fantasy; it’s about navigating the unseen, understanding one's unique reality, and finding strength within. The premise, where a 'girl and a monster' form an unusual bond that only one can truly see, allows for unique storytelling possibilities and exploring themes of isolation and connection. For those of you who frequently browse Webtoon, you know the thrill of finding a hidden gem. Supporting new and independent comics is crucial for the platform's diversity and for helping creators reach important milestones, like meeting subscriber targets. Your simple actions – a like, a comment, or even sharing a new series you love – can make an immense difference. It helps these emerging stories, much like prominent titles such as 'distorted love webtoon' or a beloved 'turning point webtoon,' find their audience. It ensures that promising narratives don’t get lost in the vast digital landscape, and it encourages creators to keep sharing their unique visions with the world. Don't just stick to the popular series; explore the new comics section through the 'webtoon reading interface' to discover your next favorite. Let's champion new voices together and help them avoid the pressure of having to consider a 'delete webtoon' scenario for their own projects!

Why I’m slowly deleting my Social medias
Social media has been a big part of my life since a very young age. As I’m sure it has been also for most of you. I miss when it didn’t feel like a necessity. I miss when I could just post silly pictures for the fun of it and not feel judged or the need to be perfect. I’ve learned that no matter

Apps I’m deleting in 2026 and why
Social media can be a good thing but recently, I’ve just been bombarded so much anxiety surrounding it. I looked through my screen time and on the app I noticed I was wasting either a lot of time on or was using as a filler when I could’ve been doing other things. So here’s a list of all the apps.
