True I think that this would have gone differently if there was a sat down discussion, but at the same time, I think FL kinda realizes that it would be a waste of time to try and persuade someone who’s never really tried to side with her. She must also be pissed about everything since antagonist lady is playing victim and confides in the older brother about FL only for him to, “deal with her”. So he’s now technically a perpetrator, to which she possibly feels like she is above having to go out of her way to explain to him, since if he had been knowledgeable enough to try to understand, he would have done so earlier. Not only that, but her older brother also seems to blindly believe the antagonist lady, so that also could be why it’s a bit hard to rationalize some things to him unless done differently. I think they did dramatize this a bit tho lol, but I love it
On the side note, I agree with ur statement about pacing! It’s quite sad to see that some people aren’t willing to wait for a good story sometimes, and as much as they are eager to see the next part, there are also those who don’t have the patience for it. Some artist draw their entire webtoon by themselves, while others, with studios. Either way, burnout as an artist can become very difficult and stressful, and on top of that they know fans are anticipating their works which, in itself, is a ton of pressure. A lot of times, the stories I’ve seen have a pretty consistent schedule around 30 chps, and then it slows down from there. I, personally, don’t mind. Since I always jump around and know that if I’m reading a story that has just released, I’m committed to waiting it out.
Same. I feel like a lot of people who don't draw and/or don't know a lot of artists somehow can't comprehend just how much time and effort everything takes, and take this now standardized weekly schedule for granted. And/or they somehow feel entitled for that upload schedule, and if it changes, they demand for more.
I've had this opinion for a while, but if people want longer chapters while keeping the quality AND work safety of the artist or artists in mind, they need to realise a weekly upload schedule won't work for that. We should normalise that it's okay to not post weekly, I wish more comics could consider a biweekly schedule instead - you have space for slightly longer chapters and hopefully be able to space out one's work schedule better.
Another idea I've heard is that one could upload chapters weekly for some weeks, then have one week of not uploading, which I think would also work. Previously I've thought one week of "break" with every 4-6 weeks of upload is decent, but now I think that it should be one week of break per month with then 3 weeks of weekly uploads. This is because I know those artists will work during that break period anyways, like prepping for the next chapters, so giving more chances for breaks/mandating it so that they do have days where they don't work would be great. This would also likely shorten the times of season breaks (unless the season break is related to the artist's health - and I do think those breaks should still exist and give the artists some time off, but I feel like it could take off some of the pressure of how quickly they need to get back on working on a series)
I am glad that I've seen some comics use the method of uploading roughly 3 times a month, with things like "a new chapter every 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of the month". But yeah, as a whole, I know the whole industry needs to change. People simply don't view being an artist as a real job and a lot of them don't respect where exactly their entertainment is coming from (just look at all the AI bros out there claiming to make original art using AI, completely dismissing the artists and whose works even made it possible for the AI to do anything.)
I get why y'all are frustrated, but I don't disagree with how this discussion is drawn. The idiot eldest brother won't get it unless it's explained to him word by word - it would seem just as insane if he were to immediately believe her without her going all this way, with how we've seen him characterised.
Would it be nice if the chapters were longer? Hell yes! Do I want that? No, not with a weekly upload schedule. Artists in the webtoon industry get abused all the time, often risk job-threatening injuries due to deadlines and demands from editors and the like (ie. injuring their hands and/or wrists, making them unable to draw for months - and often they're still forced to, worsening their injuries), and hell, death is included. I'd rather have a well-paced story (which this is so far) with shorter chapters than make the artist suffer. ( ̄∇ ̄")
I have noticed over the years that often slowburns/not as fast-paced stories, especially at the beginning 20-40 chapters, their comment sections seem to be flooded by complaints, only for those to make a complete switch after particular amount of chapters. So, I'm just going to assume it's the usual and my fellow lovers/enjoyers/appreciators of slowburn/slower paced stories just aren't bothered to comment and fight with others about views on these things (which is fair) , rather focusing on the story itself╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You're free to disagree, I'm simply stating my opinion on this!
