Oh dear... Thank you everyone for your comments. Actually, the phrase "passion can't put food on the table" isn't entirely accurate. I've been in this industry for nearly 7 years, but I only worked on LM for a year and a half. I had substantial savings from my earlier career to support an extended break.
What I meant is that beyond passion, countless other emotions are involved in creating comics. Passion isn't the only ingredient – these conflicting feelings coexist and clash with it. Passion alone can't cancel out everything else.
From my initial contact with LM to officially taking it on, there were many obstacles. The fact it finally came together can only be described as fate.
My official role only covered storyboarding to line art, but I loved this novel so much that I voluntarily participated in other processes – scriptwriting, backgrounds, finalizing drafts – all unpaid extra work that consumed 2-3 days per chapter.
I thought I could handle it, but coordinating teams became overwhelming. After finishing my own work, I'd help others', then anxiously await public feedback. I had almost no breathing room – viewers of my live streams know I often pulled all-nighters. During the first few months, I'd go 2-3 days without sleep revising drafts. Approaching thirty after years of nonstop serialization without proper rest – even iron wears down.
I'm exhausted, mentally and physically. I've endured much criticism and held strong, but everyone has limits. I often forget I'm just an ordinary person... but I truly am.
Many unseen struggles occurred this past year and a half – things I can't and won't discuss. Giving up never comes from one specific reason but from accumulated burdens.
If I truly chased fame and profit, wouldn't I launch new works while I still have visibility? Why take a two-year break? Do I hate money?
"If things were perfect elsewhere, why would anyone come here?"
thanks for posting this ╥﹏╥ as sad as i am about little mushroom going on an indefinite hiatus, i wish her the best of luck with her other projects. chichi and the team's mental health comes before all! wishing her a great, restful, long 2 year break. i'll miss little mushroom with all my heart.
to all, please remember that financial support truly is important. that's unfortunately just the reality of things, especially in manhua. so many seemingly successful manhua get cancelled because it's very easy to pirate their chapters (even on cn side, not just here). even just one chapter goes a long way
Nooo I'm so heartbroken. I hope the artist takes a good rest. They def deserve it!
IT'S GETTING A PHYSICAL VERSION YEEEES
Yeah I am so damm happy gonna pre-order it
Is it an English translation? Where can I preorder it
Yes it is and seven seas is gonna release it in September
Omg omg so excited
Not this getting discontinued lmao
Wdym by that?
no pls...
tappytoon will stop releasing chapters by the end of february so no english
Knowing that the chapters on kuaikan only get like 8-13k likes considering the amount of ppl reading it is ridiculously low lol
813k ANDS THAR LOW?!! Huh
I think they mean "8k to 13k"
Ohh:(
yup I mean 8k to 13k in regular. The initial chapters have like like 40k likes each but ever since like chapter 37, it doesn't go over 14k likes per chapter which I think is kinda low considering how popular the manhua seems to be overseas.
Just read the official uncensored version and DAMN IT'S GOOD for a short p*rnhwa
“For Purple”
The commenter named Purple is being a bitch on here so I gave her a taste of her own medicine she’s calling me a psycho well that will teach her to mind her business.
Lmao as you shouldddddd
AND YEA NO FR, FORGET PLOT OR WHATEVER, THE ART IS AMAZING
Finally the hockey match but damn, waiting for this chapter took forever lol! Also... marry already, I wanna see a Caewon wedding!!
The height difference?! Oh my god I can’t. We’re finally getting to some fun interactions between the two!

Teaha uncensored is a WHOLE ANOTHER level… wish they’d put it in the actual manhwa instead of sharing separately

It’s fan art, not the offical
I gave this a fair shot because of all the hype, but honestly, it just feels flat. I keep waiting for something to stand out, but it's just not happening. 64 chapters and it's still plain.
