Maybe just maybe.. some of them get bored or burnout from their own work and just decide to quit (which is understandable), they can't just simply tell their followers "hey I got bored of this so I quit" so they drop the sick card. I mean ofc there are artists who actually get sick but after so much time has passed you start to doubt a little.
considering that mangaka in japan have a 20yr reduction in life expectancy, I think there is actually just a correlation. especially if you consider that the webtoon industry is super new, there won’t be the protections in place for authors. It’s easy to take advantage of someone who genuinely loves what they do. Other comments have also pointed out that this author hasn’t even posted on twitter since 2021 so maybe this isn’t the comment section to be skeptical in
I truly believe someone has to do the research of the relations between manga/manwha artists and having some sort of illness...and I'm not even saying this to be mean and everybody gets sick, fine...But there HAS to be a correlation because WHY does this keep happening to every story I fall in love with!!?? The author somehow falls sick and never return
