This is hodot's living. They know better than you how the hiatus will be affecting their audience still they decided to do it this many times. It speaks volume about how bad their health must be. On top of that, we who read their manhwa illegal have absolutely no right to complain. Stop being so rude...you can just drop it(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I do, i buy her officials when they come out i just read the advance improperly translated chapters on here. yes its their living, so they should figure out how to manage their time like every other employed person to exist. i dont understand how she had an entire year break, that is 8,765 hours, and they werent doing their job enough over that time to create a proper buffer so they didnt get so overwhelmed to the point of physical symptoms.
this is plain and simple a mismanagement of time that led to them causing their own sickness. in my opinion the entire industry needs to be reworked, chapters should ALL be drawn in advance over the break so these authors arent scrambling to meet deadlines. this is the real world, where when you’re employed you need to figure out how to manage your time properly and make things work, not for the readers sake, but for your own.
just don’t read this then, so many creators have come out and said while working on these one week schedules they were drawing 24/7 and had no time for any social activities or even anything outside of drawing. I don’t think you understand at all you didn’t even bother to read the hiatus note properly where it says her physical health took a toll because of the initial burnout
Im not mad that we dont get to read it, im mad she isnt managing her time well enough to prevent her own downfall. As someone with adhd i understand how hard work can be sometimes but we need to make life easier for ourselves by doing our jobs properly. There is no other job where this behavior would be acceptable. And I do buy chapters, so no im not just complaining and not actually supporting her.
Then you make the new chapter Leonardo da Vinci. If ur so pissed that someone chose their health first instead of collapsing everytime, you make it since ur soooo talented and never get tired!!! And the entire year they took as a break is their least human rights?? Like they got freedom wtf? Imagine having bad health and you have to meet a deadline the company been pressuring you about and you suffocate to make the chapter just so fuckhead comes about you taking a break so you don't genuinely die!!! Fucking funny isn't it? I bet no one likes to be friends with you btw
i read it completely, my point is she had a whole year to prevent this from happening by creating enough buffer episodes. these are chapters made in advance so you dont get overwhelmed with a weekly schedule. in this case she should have calculated the amount of time it takes to draw and episode and create enough buffers to compensate for the time spent drawing. this is how being employed works, you figure out how to manage your time. not sure if yall have jobs. making the break 10 days is a good step to take in figuring out how to manage their time but at this point theyve already fumbled so badly im not sure anything will fix this besides another long hiatus to create a proper buffer. it seems a mismanagement of time is a common issue in this field. for example yang ilwoo and me author has 18 episode seasons and they still didnt manage to be able to finish it in one go. this is astounding to me.
No taking a year off from work isnt a human right haha. I dont care about reading chapters im frustrated with the amount of authors that cannot manage their time. she had 8,765 hours to draw buffer episodes. i dont know if you are a kid but this is how the real world works, work is hard and unfair sometimes, but if you properly manage your time it makes life a whole lot easier. my words are for her sake.
if this was a normal job then she would do normal job work, she makes manwha for a living you can’t compare that to the average job, why can’t you comprehend that? did you expect her to spend the whole year with the same 24/7 drawing schedule. the season break is a BREAK!! she has buffers where are you getting the info that she doesn’t? “she should’ve made all the eps during the one year break” that’s just not how this works? that’s not how ANY manwha author works? so why would she? obviously if she gets hurt and can’t produce anymore and still puts out eps she will run out of buffers. and again yang ilwoo length/ art detail / SEASON LENGTH. completely different
I imagine you are a kid from your lack of reading comprehension skills. So ill restate im not mad about no chapters im mad so many authors get to this point due to their own inability to do their job properly on these massive breaks. But uh yes, sure, clearly my words point to me wanting people to die! goodness the dramatics!
No no I gotta agree with this one. I agree. Like, if it’s that demanding to the point you can have long hiatuses right after you come back, and switch the schedule for taking a break on three days of the month, why not just state that from the beginning? Like don’t come in saying you’re going to do it weekly, state you’ll be doing the breaks consistently for quality so there isn’t an issue with expectation. Consistency is key. You took a year long break to work on it because of burn out, but why come back if you’re still burned out?
OP is correct. If it’s a health issue, like with Saving the Female Lead’s Older Brother, that’s different. But this is burnout. I understand that, I really do, but at some point you have to decide to either let it go or continue with direction. If she needed another year, then she should have taken it. OP is correct that she isn’t managing her time properly, because the year should have given her some time for the buffer episodes so she SHOULDN’T be as stressed. But if she didn’t do that, that’s on her, and the customer base has the right to push back on the decision, especially if they’re paying customers (which I am as well, just takes time since I have to wait for a paycheck).
Think of it like this: you wouldn’t go to a PT that randomly called out all of a sudden multiple times, would you? Even if you had a good relationship with them, you can no longer trust they’ll be there for you when you need it or expect it. Their workplace wouldn’t tolerate that either. So it isn’t that odd that OP I miffed, nor is it unjustified.
Are you though? I dont determine anything, I just stated the law haha. No one is entitled to a year off from work under the law. I do agree companies should be required to offer more days off. That being said these authors still work over their breaks so she isnt just on vacation, but she certainly wasnt doing enough to make life easier in the long run. not every author has this problem, i imagine because they understand time management. For example the author of guiding hazard does not release chapters every week, they have never went on hiatus from what i remember. they took a long break.
Thank you, you articulated that better than I couldve haha. Not every author has this problem, seemingly moreso with the author that dont release episodes weekly. Im just confused how Hodot couldnt manage to draw enough buffer in an entire year. I dont want to accuse her of slacking, maybe she was hard at work, but its hard for me to imagine she couldnt create enough buffer with 8,765 hours to work with.
Thats what ur suggesting by saying be workaholic so you don't end up missing up like this.. Did you try and have a manhwa? If ur not in a job experience then don't judge it?? Ur not an advisor are you? So if I have cancer I should just make a good schedule so I won't be late for releasing chapters.. Is what you're saying btw. I dont think you heard of ppl taking breaks from their jobs to focus on their health.
And I don't think you can be talking about 'lack of reading' when ur list looks like you just joined
Youre very angry it seems to the point your comprehension skills are falling flat. I got that information from her statement where she literally said she needed more time to create buffers. Buffers are not drawing the entire series in advance, just enough to not overwhelm yourself on a schedule. My point about drawing a season in advance without the harsh deadlines is a smart one. The issue now is the authors are working on this “break” to create buffer episodes, then continue working during the season. So predrawing would give them an actual break because they wouldnt have to draw anything during the seasons runtime. Do you understand that?

honestly hodot pissing me off. that had an entire year to create buffer episodes and a long hiatus a few weens in. i understand art is very taxing but it really just feels like they dont understand how to manage their time. they arent sick they just called it burnout, yet they had an entire year to make episodes in advance so they werent so overwhelmed with the demanding schedule
