I've seen many creators talk about how little they earn. One creator I came across was very positive about it. She wasn't constantly complaining. Instead, she said she hoped to grow her audience so that one day her comic could earn enough to cover her living expenses.

When she shared how much she had earned after three years, I was shocked. The amount was honestly disappointing and sad.

I decided to check out her comic to support her, and that's when I got a reality check.

Her art style was unique, but as a reader, I could see why it might struggle. Most readers expect clean, polished artwork. The story felt very self-insert, and the plot was confusing. It felt more like someone's personal fantasy about falling in love with an attractive person than a story with a clear direction.

I kept reading, hoping the story would eventually hook me, but I found myself skipping through chapters because I wasn't sure what was happening.

I know Webtoon can be unfair and sometimes the platform itself is part of the problem.

However, after seeing this comic, I also feel that creators play a major role in their own success. If the story isn't engaging or the presentation isn't appealing to readers, it's harder to expect strong results regardless of the platform.

Honestly tho, wtf is even this experience .

Back in 8th grade was when I met these two girls. I was a transfer student and the two girls have been best friends since 6th grade, they approached me on my first day and immediately asked me to sit with them during lunch. Friendship bloomed, we became the trio. However, these two girls are always fighting....like every single week I'd have to pick sides because the two of them would randomly decide to start beef for no reason and would continuously drag me in the middle.

One would come and yap about the other, and then when she leaves, it's the other girl's turn to come yap about our other friend with me... For four years straight that was our relationship.

I had no other option but to sit on the fence and trash talk one person and the other.

Later on, the two had improved a lot and we're all good. Until it becomes chaotic again.

Fast forward, we entered 12th grade. Basically seniors. And the two stopped talking to me.... literally cut me off from social media and everything.

I approached them and asked. "Hey, did you guys change your number.?" The two looked at me, and the other immediately went, "Ssssssss". Before they both laughed and walked away.

They later confronted me and called me out for being a snake throughout high school. Because I "trashed talk" both of them and caused a separation in their sisterhood. (Yes, in their tiny mind. The two are these young strong two youthful best friends who promised to be sisters for life, but then a snake (me) interrupted their friendship and this almost destroyed their deep emotional bond.)

(HOW DOES THAT FUCKING MAKE SENSE?!!!!! AT THIS POINT AREN'T WE ALL FRIKIN SNAKES?

If the two of them hadn't started beefing in our own group in the first place then THE THREE OF US would've united as the three head snake and trash talk someone else.)

Honestly, the phrase "Stick to your kind" hits hard on this stupid experience coz we be shit talking ourselves instead of others, which thankfully didn't happen coz we was too busy.

Srsly, me and my snake fam need snake counseling
