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
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(ă ̄âłďżŁ)ă
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 youâre 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 donât 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 donât think you understand at all you didnât 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 canât compare that to the average job, why canât 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 doesnât? âshe shouldâve made all the eps during the one year breakâ thatâs just not how this works? thatâs not how ANY manwha author works? so why would she? obviously if she gets hurt and canât 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 itâs 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 donât come in saying youâre going to do it weekly, state youâll be doing the breaks consistently for quality so there isnât 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 youâre still burned out?
OP is correct. If itâs a health issue, like with Saving the Female Leadâs Older Brother, thatâs 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 isnât managing her time properly, because the year should have given her some time for the buffer episodes so she SHOULDNâT be as stressed. But if she didnât do that, thatâs on her, and the customer base has the right to push back on the decision, especially if theyâre paying customers (which I am as well, just takes time since I have to wait for a paycheck).
Think of it like this: you wouldnât 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 theyâll be there for you when you need it or expect it. Their workplace wouldnât tolerate that either. So it isnât 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 âbreakâ 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?
Hodot has burnout not cancer, dont be disingenuous. Read my other replies to better understand my points if youd like, because youre being purposefully disingenuous and putting words in my mouth here, which isnt acceptable behavior when im not being rude whatsoever except to point out the lack if actually digesting what youre reading. People are allowed to have a different opinion than you, that is also a fact of life. Dont try to argue with people if you read to respond and not to understand. kizzes
All of you are being childish assholes. People are going to have a different opinion than you, that doesnât give you the right to be mean. Stop riling yourself up over something so trivial as a difference in opinion, that person wasnt mean to you. And who the fuck has an alt mangago account? baby im a grown adult, arguing with a bunch of unemployed preteens with raging hormones isnt typically on my agenda.
Sounds like you'll be the mean boss who would not value your employees mental health. How unapathetic can people be that when someone says that they have fallen sick and need some time to get things back to normal, you blame the individual for having fallen sick and not having 'calculated' how not to??? How come that's your first response? What ur EQ bro?
Burnout isnt sickness, stop being disingenuous and blowing things out of proportion. Take this life advice and move along, maybe itll help you when you get a job haha. Burnout and health issues are not the same, i would never get mad at say the shutline author who went on break for surgery. Stop being so dramatic
Acting normal. Youre the one being pretty childish and inflammatory. Its odd how bad this generation is at having civil discussions. But I mean, Ill just assume youâre projecting about the alt account thing haha. The more you call me a bitch the more my feelings are hurt! Haha, I wonder, who sounds more reasonable, a person who turns to insults when faced with valid points? orrr, hm. really its not that deep hun
Kinda funny how you are solely blaming the author for all of this when your complaints are much obvious who is to blame for the poor working conditions they are in lmao
I swear some of you are being purposefully dense and never blame the company who pressures artists to produce chapters as fast as they can, which in turn harms their health.
I would say you're a company bootlicker but I can't just prove it outright.
Didnt do that, I mention in another reply I think the entire system needs to be reworked so authors get an actual break. I think making the gap between chapters longer was a good step in managing their time better. Schedules do suck which is why I wish theyd used the 8,765 hours they were on hiatus to create a better buffer for themselves to avoid the overwhelming schedule as best as possible. Not all authors have these problems. Im aware the industry sucks, but it comes to a point where you need to find a new profession if this one is too demanding. Im not saying thats an easy task but Id rather have happy authors than ones who are miserable
You want to believe that other commenters are "children" and "unemployed" and then turn around and say that burnout isn't "sickness" or it's not the same as health issues lmao. You want to believe you're someone who's a responsible adult with a "real job" but then throw around insensitive remarks about another professional "artist". The joke just writes itself at this point. Sorry to break your bubble but you are the one who sounds like an absolutely insensitive and entitled person with lack of empathy. Burnout can be very deadly and as an aspiring artist myself I've experienced first hand that how serious this is. On the surface it may look like the author is being unable to manage her time well, but if she comes out and say that she is burned out and she couldn't create enough buffers during the break then it IS as serious as it gets. If you knew how mental health affects an artists work you wouldn't be yapping about how she should have managed her time and whatnot. Her company is allowing her to take breaks and also rearranging the schedules so that makes it even more clear that yes there are other "real jobs" out there that should be treated with much more consideration. Authors "health" should always come first and yes it includes the burning out and other mental health issues as well.
It should and in that case I think she shouldve taken a longer break or stopped making the series. If your burnout from your job is literally ruining your life you need to find a new profession, which i understand is not an easy task and people often struggle to do so due to finances but it comes to a point where you need to take responsibility for your own life and figure things out. No, this comes from empathy. I have experienced this very much so, to the point getting out of bed wasnt even an option in my brain. but you gotta do something for yourself if you want to see a change. i honestly hate how normalized it is to coddle people who get into these mental states, not in the sense they dont deserve care and empathy, or that their issues arent real, but the idea that they just have to live with it instead of finding a way to change their life. If Hodot is to the point she is experiencing physical symptoms it may just be time to either go on another long hiatus or find a better job.
You wish for them to work and create buffers while they are on hiatus...? And in your past replies you are speaking of burnout as if it isn't a manifestation of their declining mental health. Also, telling somebody to get a new profession as if the job market isn't in shambles in most parts of the globe rn. Even if you aren't a corpo bootlicker, you certainly have low empathy for other people from the way you talk.
I do agree not all authors suffer from this hiatus problem, but it's still concerning how many are taking breaks bec. of physical/mental health issues. I've noticed authors of more popular webtoons getting more frequently into hiatuses. I'd say they are on tight deadlines bec. the company wants to get more money in fast releases, causing the authors to overwork themselves to an early grave. Everytime this happens, do you just say again that they should find a better profession where they're happy?
all my comments are about finding ways to manage time better for HER BENEFIT. but everyone wants to argue with me that its impossible. yall are wanna bitch about these things as if suffering is just reality, that pushing yourself to the point of burnout and then taking a break is just how things should go. no dude, find fucking solutions. manage time better. go on longer breaks: push for longer gaps like it seems she finally did. be proactive. this is what I mean by real world. you have to take responsibility for your own life if you want to be happy. the company sucks but if youâre subjecting youself to this profession find the best way to stay healthy. i dont see Hodot being happier even with this week break, and all this wouldve been avoided if better precautions were employed
Yes. Readers should push for a change in the system, and authors should not work for these evil companies if they want change. not easy to do but if you want to see change thats what has to happen. No the breaks arent actual breaks dude they are still working during that time on buffer episodes and writing. Thats why I make the suggestion that on authors should finish a season and then begin releasing it, so that they get an actual break and dont have to work during the duration of the season. If that means shorter seasons i think thats fair. it has been done. the author of purple hyacinth who has bad health issues is using this tactic to finish her story. im not a bootlicker im just a person whos sick of seeing this shit happen and am suggesting hypothetical solutions instead of whining âthis is just how it is!â
You could've just said this outright without adding in word salads and insults that came off as belittling the author's hardships while making this series. Reread all your comments and you really come off as one of those people who say the rudest of things and then pass it off as being #real. If being barbed with your words is your way of showing your empathy to someone who's already struggling with problems, I hope no one gets advice from you. You'd end up breaking their spirit instead of encouraging them to do better.








i feel so satisfied rn lawrddd
