Drawing takes like A LOT of time and they have to be sometimes in a bad posture so it's like it hurts their spine and eyes, it really affects their physical and mental health

ok but like lets be fr now...

My theory is that they're afraid to end up like Japanese mangakas, who have an average lifespan of 60 years

because they aren’t taking weekly breaks and rush to make chapters, so now we have to deal with that mistake

Well I can't speak for this one but most of them barely make money creating these, they also make shit food decisions for their health, some survive mostly on instant food, some of them do the whole thing themselves (story, character design, illustration, etc.) And have tight deadlines. Also because they are often times their own boss, they have God awful work ethics and never actually stop working. Sometimes they don't leave the house or interact with family much due them being hard on themselves to meet these deadlines. Some are also battling depression so the constant shrimp back no sunlight life does not really help with that. Creative people are often times hard on themselves more than anyone else is and will grow to hate their work over time and slowly lose motivation; so to kinda delay/prevent this, they also take breaks. So unlike regular jobs that have a work hour like 9-5, these mfs be thinking about their shit 23/7 and forget that "Oh wait I need food and water to function". God bless the ones that actually have friends and love ones to actually reel them back to reality sometimes.

Also its often times low key annoying for the family and friends to deal with sometimes. The artist would often use their family and friends as references, no Vacation or trip is truly a vacation for the artist because the dumb ahh likes the angle of this building and would like to take pictures of it for their book as reference, so basically STILL WORKING, still thinking about their art. Even worse, they bring their work with them to events. So everyone around them will slowly see them get consumed by their work and would have given them a quick reality check "ey dumb ahh, you look like a ghost, no one will kill you for taking a fookin break man go touch grass" which you would think is obvious but nah these bitches be all consumed with their ideas and fears of "oH dId I drAw tHis FinGeR rIghT?" "Do YoU uNdErSTanD wHaT I WrOtE here? I fear the readers won't understand " OH AND THESE BITCHES DONT HAVE A SLEEP SCHEDULE FOR SHIT SOMEEETIMES

OMG YESS THIS!!!

ESPECIALLY THE 1ST PART OF THE AUTHORS/ARTIST NOT GETTING PAID ENOUGH
(Pretty sure sometimes within the last few years Lezhin got backlash from readers finding out they pay like the Minimum?
Cant quite remember )

....that's just on the few that I know personally. They all be doing dumb shit like that and has to be reminded they need to take care of themselves. When they are in the zone it's a bit difficult for them to pull themselves out of it, so I just learn to be mindful.

Oh and some have regular jobs plus doing this so they can pay rent n shit so yeah sometimes the break ain't even an actual break fr, they just be working on something else.

Yall do realize real life authors aren't like the ones in manhwa and manga right? Like they are not depressed workaholic doormats who don't eat/drink/sleep and work 24/7 and drawing is not their whole personality and life right? I know artits myself, and i was one too. If someone can't keep up their healt when their only job is done at one table its their fault, and there is no deadline if they can go on hiatus anytime, artists will and have to do their work (as most people even if its not an artist) even if they get sick or anything they can't just go on hiatus, only if they really are their own boss and thats again actually makes things easier for them not harder thats the truth. Im saying this cuz really a lot of manhwa im reading are going on hiatus for like the 10th time this year, if someone's health is that bad they should be staying at a hospital and get full treatment, or they aren't that sick sorry. I will always appriciate works like these but its just our reality today authors artists etc. They've gotten too comfortable, imagine if hayao miyazaki went on hiatuses all the time. He sure would not be as popular. But in this time of the internet authors, artists,- anyone can easily be known. If its your calling your passion your dream and your whole world (and maybe your only place of income) it will show in your works. And yes there are a lots of artist who have tons of creative block im sorry to disappoint but those people need other jobs and only do that as a hobby and shouldn't give up their health for something they cannot do, they have to mature and realize they can go back to those works and do them even if its 5 years later but yeah they should have other jobs or anything beside that cuz they are clearly not made for it. And thats okay. And i know what im talking ab i almost ended myself because of it i just had to accept it. If they cant keep us entertaind (cuz thats literally a part of their job) then they aren't made for it. And a hell of a lot people battle with depression sadly, we still get the job done. Its just a question of mindset. I do understand the plint you want to make, its just invalid sadly. But i don't understand people who go on rampage cuz authors go on hiatus like, go read something else and you can come back later man..

waittt what are others?

Ahhh I thought I recognized this from somewhere; I never got around to finishing that one!

Well, hot damn. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Probably because this doesn't have 40+ chapters where things could be properly developed

I’ve read oneshots with better development
