HIATUS NOTICE FROM AUTHOR

This is auto translated from twt. Thought that some might want the update!

"Hello, this is Songmi. The notice has been posted on the platform, but it seems the communication here was delayed. As announced, I'm truly sorry, but I'll be taking another long hiatus. Even though I thought about it a lot while writing the notice, I don't think I was able to refine it into a form suitable for posting here.

" I couldn’t deliver the news to you right away. Actually, even up until today, I’ve been hesitating a lot about how to let you know through this account, but after reading all the encouraging messages that you, dear readers, sent in response to the notice, I felt that this time I absolutely had to express my gratitude, so I’m posting this a bit late.

"As I mentioned in the notice as well, I have consistently felt the limitations of my own abilities since the early stages of serializing this work. Even though I didn't have significant physical health issues during that time, the repeated breaks were mostly due to the mental health problems stemming from this.

"There is no room for any excuses regarding this matter. As a webtoon artist who serializes weekly, one must always make reasonable choices within the organic structure of three elements—maintaining the quality of the work, ensuring stable serialization, and securing income—but I feel like I failed to do so every time.

"From the early to mid-stages of serialization, I failed at managing my mental state, and as a result, it spiraled into an endless vicious cycle afterward—so honestly, the fact that the series has continued all the way to now feels like the most miraculous thing to me... At some point, I started thinking that the readers' affection for my work was a luxury I didn't deserve.

"But in this hiatus announcement, I was truly, deeply grateful that many readers sent their support, and the words saying they’re still watching over it and the praises for the work that you wrote down became encouragement and comfort more precious to me than anything else in the world.

"I’m not sure if this post will reach the dear readers who sent their support, but I am truly, truly grateful. The thread has gotten so long.. I’m also thankful to those who’ve read it all the way to here. I hope everyone stays happy and healthy throughout your lives."



TLDR
Songmi is dealing with some mental health issues. They feel bad about going on hiatus, but are very grateful for their loving audience
