can someone explain to me about the artist situation? I've seen people saying she wanna qu...

My understanding is that negative and hate comments are coming from the KK platform (Itʻs a Chinese platform, where Little Mushroom is officially posted). There were a lot of comments, especially at the beginning, of how this artist is not educated at the right university, doesnʻt have the right background, is not known, and overall doesnʻt fit the "correct" criteria (whatever the hell they are). And that the art is trash. The bullying has been persistent and continuous.

However, many fans, in China and internationally, have been organizing support events on social media. That is why the artist decided to continue. Thatʻs why you are seeing massive praise on social media, but not seeing horrible comments, cause they are on a different platform. We only hear how bad it gets when the artist mentions it.

ohhhhh i see, thank you for explaining. I'm surprised she had hate comments like that since her art is really gorgeous. why did the hate comments nitpick on her like that? did little mushroom novel readers a huge fandom over there? I'm quite surprised since the novel doesn't have any toxicity to attract these kind of people

Yes, the art is absolutely breathtaking. and maybe thatʻs why itʻs so viciously attacked, cause the style of drawing is not mainstream/standard in Chinese manhwa. That was one of the theories. The other one - this situation is very similar to K-pop when a small group of Korean fans cyber-bully a star/idol while a huge group of international fandom really supports them. I am glad international fandom consistently rises to support the artist, because I think she made the novel material much better. I canʻt imagine Little Mushroom visually in any other way now.

keep in mind that it's not just that awful hate train that's discouraging her from continuing. she's spoken up about illegal uploads and how they're giving her burnout. the interaction and reception for the newer chapters on kuaikan are extremely low compared to its earlier chapters, which is why both emotional and financial support are extremely important!
