Recently, well, not very recently, but I've been noticing a common theme that almost every artist or author with a really good series is always in poor health or something happened, like I just started watching a new anime by the author of Haven't You Heard I'm Sakamoto to come to find out that she already died of cancer. Also, I was very into Solo Leveling, and we already know how that ended. I forgot the name of the manhwa, but the author was islamophobic. I also really liked this manga called Act Age, and I think the author got arrested for sexually assaulting two middle school girls. It's not just here; it's also on Webtoon, like the author of Lumine is always on Hiatus, and there are two other series that I always read, and there was no announcement or anything. The authors just stopped posting, and it's been like 5 years. I'm wondering if it's the authors or is it just me? Am I cursed?
