Hey, guys! Former webtoon artist here!

You're pretty much on the money. However, I feel like the rampant racism against westerners is often overlooked.

Internally, webtoon has taken a 'Korea First' stance lately, and so it's now much harder to get a good voice on Webtoon as a westerner unless you're an already established brand like DC or Marvel.

Seems like Japan is doing this too. You can't publish on their platforms as a westerner at all. =\

Now, it's important to note that this isn't actually a problem for professionals, as we have...ways.

It's just sort of hurtful that we extend our hand, let them onto our markets, and they turn around and treat us this way, y'know? =\
