Author's mental breakdown due to harassment from 'fans'

It's sad to know that the author has quit X due to harassment from certain fans. While as dedicated readers we might have strong feelings about the story's direction, we must respect the author's creative freedom. Harassing an author because the plot doesn't meet our expectations is not only unacceptable, but downright disgusting.

Following this manhwa doesn't give us any right to hate on authors just because the story is not going the way we want it to go. I purchase each and every update, but i know fully well that that does not give me ownership over the story. As a long-time supporter, I understand the desire for a fulfilling ending, but we should express our opinions respectfully and allow the author the space to create and steer their work the way they see fit.

    Right wasn’t she defending saying it wasn’t rape or something and continued to not give a straight answer when people were like this is rape.. I also saw fans of yahwi do full on analysis' of those chapters saying and defending it wasn’t rape even tho he was drunk. Ytc twitter fans are actually crazy

    That exactly what happen and yahwi fans started saying it was harassment. Like bffr. I can understand the author want to defend her character because it's a character she created but to deny what happen when it was written and drawn exactly like it was shown what did she expect ppl with common sense to think.

    I think the author is a sweet person but is definitely a people pleaser. Twt was not a good place for he to be friendly with readers. It's a shame what happen because she only wanted to communicate with readers but it doesn't go as she hope.

    That recent incident may have been the final tipping point, but we cannot deny the ongoing, almost weekly, barrage of criticism and attacks from so-called fans that have undoubtedly affected the author's mental well-being. While it's completely valid for readers to have strong opinions about the manhwa, the line is crossed when these are expressed through direct tagging and messaging the author. Such actions are invasive and inappropriate.

    No reader, regardless of their investment in the story, has the right to claim ownership over the work or the author. The notion that purchasing chapters grants any control or entitlement over the narrative or its creator is not only misguided but deeply disrespectful.

    I knew this would happen. Srsly people can't keep their mouth shut and I'm sure most of them don't even buy the damn chapters.
