wake up in the morning feelin’ like p-diddy

She’s maximizing them and making bank idk what you’re talking about.

If I was her i’d be happy as hell drawing peak and making money

Right, like she’s clearly coveted for her ability to draw men getting fucked up. She’ll be in business for a long, long time.

her work in sadistic beauty was amazing too! but she’s had a lot of artistic growth with this manhwa it looks so goooood

gyerin x jooyeon was an amazing use of their super good art! all the other works.. not so much.

cool if they’re making a living for themselves, but pretty damn disappointing for those who admire their artistic talent but don’t enjoy plotless stories that is genuinely just torture porn and diabolical rep of bdsm

Maybe so, but artists you like aren’t always going to make stuff that’s palatable to you. Sometimes you just have to live with the disappointment and move on, because there are so many artists out there. A lot of the people bellyaching about how Lee Geumsan has drawn for fucked up stories don’t realize that she’s playing to the market. If wholesome nsfw stories were more profitable, she’d probably do them more. But she found a successful niche being an extremely competent artist in a genre that’s largely slop, I respect her for it.

I’ve always found the attitude that “if an artist I like is making problematic stuff then it’s a waste” to be really contrite and entitled. I’m not sure if that was your intention, but if she’s making art that’s meaningful to her and growing her “brand” then there’s nothing to be unhappy about.

great, that’s your opinion. i think it’s a waste to dedicate top-notch art skills to, as you said, a slop genre. may be financially prosperous, but still a waste. it can’t be denied that it’s immensely disappointing for a general audience when an artist takes the easy route of shock factor to get reach, so complaints are expected. might’ve actually been less let down if this artist did it out of their own volition and love for torture porn; would’ve been much easier to just condemn the artist’s character. but there’s nothing respectable to me for artists who contribute to repetitive, comic equivalent of “video nasty” sludge that genuinely add no true value to the yaoi genre as a whole, which continues to be reduced to purely nasty fetish content when stories like these make it to mainstream media in all its torture porn glory. but that’s just me.

I think it’s respectable and I personally enjoy laughing at people who are seething because Lee Geumsan is for the freaks but that’s just me. If she’s happy then I’m happy. There’s nothing to condemn because artists owe nothing to people who feel so proprietary over their skills.

She wouldn’t have discovered an appreciation for drawing men being tortured if it weren’t for the Sadistic Beauty author. Women supporting women.

okay, then laugh at the people who are seething i guess. i’m glad you find happiness and amusement in this chaos and you’re free to keep supporting this artist if torture porn is what you enjoy. my comment was for the audience that share the same disappointment. it’s pretty simple, really.

Thanks. I’d tell the disappointed people to pick up their own pen and draw their own healthy BL but unfortunately most of them can’t, so they resort to complaining on mangago. Jealousy is a disease

Idk what audience you’re even trying to reach. The people who felt disappointed by the “use” of the artstyle either left for greener pastures or just have no backbone to do the former and can only sit impotently because the art is “too good” to stick to their morals.

i fully welcome you to make that comment then. it’s the internet with free-for-all discussion which is a beautiful thing. if you haven’t already, i advise you to buy the original chapters on bomtoon if you’d like the artist to receive your support directly. it may encourage them to keep going down the path of this genre like you want as well, which is a positive for you.

You’re probably being sarcastic but I buy them on both bomtoon and l3zhin so I can give maximum support lol.

dedicated stan! we love to see it.

Thanks G
