Not that I'm planning to write a webtoon, but these were actually all helpful tips for me as someone that desperately wants to write a book. All of the questions, and the detailed master document gave me a lot of good ideas and I want to try it. Also taking time to write every single week even if you're not proud of it was actually really motivating to hear. I don't write, or I don't draw, as often as I'd like because I anticipate hating the end result and don't want to waste my time but there's no way to get better without just putting in the effort, right?

[LACHRYMA]

as someone who has been lowkey (highkey) avoiding writing down everything for my webtoon and not just having stuff rattling around my skull, this helped get me motivated. thank you!

[jeditalez]

My impulsiveness from my ADHD has led me here let's see where this goes!
I just wanna write down my daydreams

The master document with a table of contents is the best advice I've ever heard. I immediately stopped the video and started a huge one.

[bla__berries]

The last tip definitely struck me. I've had this world in my head for a while and it's very steam punk. I thought I needed to make it more to date cause that's what ppl want

[annabrwk]

So nice to see you talking about your process. SFH was one of my first webtoons I read and it was exact my taste! Romance, folklore, reincarnation, history ❤❤

[Angelcraz]

I’m just trying to figure out how to organize everything and get artists and all the stuff. Thank you so much! This is gonna definitely help me organize! 😊

[ezra]

You don’t understand how much this helped me! Since 2021 I’ve been trying to figure out how to put my own story out there. I have tried on multiple occasions and have dropped my stories every time within the first 10 episodes. But this helped me a lot! As I was writing while your video was playing I feel a stronger connection to my story and characters than I ever have!! Thank you so much

As someone who has been trying to write a webtoon for a couple of years now, the content of this video was so useful. The questions were unique and good food for thought for my idea, and the general message was really encouraging. Thanks so much for your time!

[_EmFi_]

This was so helpful, I've been searching vor advice like this for like a week and couldn't find anything . Thank good I found this thank you so ❤️❤️❤️

7:04 this actually reminds me of a cut scene from into the spiderverse, where Peter tells Miles that it's not about saving the whole world, it's about saving one person

12:43 YOU GAVE ME THE BEST MOTIVATION OUT THERE

[peanut]

Thanks for the motivation and advice— this video is really valuable. I struggle with perfectionism and this helped me along my “journey” for lack of a less corny word lol. Have a great day/night, whoever reads this! Jesus loves you ❤️

[MaximeRoman]

Tip n5 is something I desperately needed to hear ! thank you

[Call_me_HANDAOME]

Thank you so much for the video❤ I've been thinking about a story and creating a webtoon out of it.🥰

[augustlegend]

This was so helpful! I've published 2 fantasy novels, but I want to turn them into webtoons. It's fascinating and inspiring to see your process, thank you so much for sharing!

[XIXCIV]

ive watched a lot of these and youre the only one who has given actual useful advice thanks

[miriamstanley]

This was definitely helpful! I was on an episode I hated drawing/writing so I'm going throw that story out and write/draw one I'm excited about. I'm pretty sure people would love to read what I create. Thank you!
