I'm pretty sure she's fine. I think she doesn't post much because of the TappyToon scandal and the shitstorm that followed. She did receive a lot of hate from fans and other creators for her decision so she's probably just waiting for things to calm down.

what happen with the author and why the fans hate her?

First of all, I confused Toptoon and Tappytoon again, sorry.

Here's what one user wrote about it when somebody asked for a translation:

"She says she will delay her new comic “Room to room” because the platform she chose (Toptoon) had a sex assault offender as a CEO, employees with mysoginistic views & fired a woman creator for her feminist views. So a lot of readers & Lezhin creators think LeeAru is a hypocrite."
"Lee Aru and Fujoking advertised their new works when many creators are fighting for better treatment and going on hiatus. So many are saying Lee and Fujoking only care about money and not about the people & views of that shitty platform."
"Lee Aru is worse than Fujoking bc Fujoking said she will not work for Toptoon and end contract. But Lee Aru says she will only delay."

...!!!!

I am not okay about reading an untagged spoiler.

wtf? when?

So am I.

Ikr!
I'm actually enjoying this manhwa a lot.
When mangas involve rape, kidnapping and all the messed up stuff, I see people leaving such negative comments about the manga as if it happened in real life. People don't seem to get that this is all fiction, it's fantasy and it's not real.
If these plots were real, then of course it's deserving of all the negative comments but if it's just a story then it's nothing more than a fantasized kink or some sort. If it's not your kind of genre, then move on. There's nothing wrong with the story or the author.

Exactly! You spoke my thoughts

While I agree with you, when it comes to stories that tackle topics like rape and abuse and seem to want to handle them seriously, I’m not ashamed to admit than I hold them to a different standard than stories that don’t portray these things. My main problem with this story is it really seems like it’s trying to portray character’s emotions and reactions to abuse and rape realistically, or at least semi-realistically. While we get to know Kyungsoo’s emotions, we don’t really get to know why he feels the way he does, but he seems like a battered housewife who is stuck in the cycle of abuse.
Obviously these stories aren’t real, but if they want to portray them realistically, I don’t think it’s wrong to be critical of them. The reader’s understanding of Kyungsoo’s emotions is vague and honestly leaves a lot up to interpretation. If the ending is Kyungsoo getting together with Yule, unless it portrays the relationship as super unhealthy still, which it probably won’t, it will seem to portray the rape/abuse = love trope as well as support the “forgive your rapist/abuser cause he didn’t know it was bad and he feels bad now!!” trope. Which would be, well, a bad ending that does a lot of discredit to the story that tried to portray rape/abuse realistically and focused a lot on the victim’s trauma.
There’s nothing wrong with portraying rape/abuse in fiction but if the author is trying to be realistic about it, I don’t think it’s wrong to consider it bad writing if they give up on the realistic portrayal to give the story an unrealistic ending.

Omg , this comment is gold !
Like whenever I'm critical of certain parts of a manga , I always get responses like that , and the thing is , I don't hate manga . I'm just criticizing it , there's a difference .

I understand where you're coming from, but then again we don't really know if the author was really trying to portray a realistic image of rape and abuse in the first place.

Even in real life, there is no "one way" where things can happen as people are different, situations are different. There may be people out there in the world who actually enjoy this kind of rough treatment and abuse but they do not admit it because they don't want society to think of them as messed up individuals and treat them differently, because for all we know they may be perfectly functioning human beings with a weird kink. Everything in the world, there will always be a group of people who think it's right, and another group of people who think it's wrong, no matter how weird you think the other party's opinions are. The definition of something that is "correct" or "right" may be different for 2 groups of people.

Anyways, I think this manhwa does a good job in creating more drama so readers would want to continue reading to see what happens in the story and what choices the main character will make in the end. I don't really apply the morals, principles, ideals and standards from real life when I read mangas like this because I know it's obviously not how people should be behaving in the real world.

What I'm trying to say is that I don't think people should compare real life to what is portrayed in fiction. They are completely separate things, although fiction is based off on real life, it's all made up. The reason why fiction exists is mainly because it gives room for people to create situations or settings that rarely exist (or don't exist at all) in real life.

true, i agree

I looked at the raws a few months ago so I knew this was coming but I forgot about it and was so disappointed this morning when I went looking for some hot, steamy Yohan+Soohwa action on Lehzin to find only a hiatus notice （/TДT)/
