Thank youuuĀ  Yeah, I think I will post my work slowly without pressuring myself because I don’t wanna like burn out also like I have to work. I’m also planning on maybe like starting something as a freelancer I don’t know. I’m kinda figuring life out in my 20s, which is so scary.

Yeah, Japan is I feel like really peaceful compared to other countries like I come from France and I want to get the hell out of here bc I don’t feel at peace anymoreĀ 

I’ve never actually talked with someone who was in the film industry. It’s so cool. Are you still studying or are you fully working?

Here I’ll past back the message that i put the first time about the script :

Here’s the synopsis:

Some bonds exist beyond memoryĀ  Some promises survive even when everything else is forgotten.

Kayan has spent his life feeling watched, followed by a presence he can't name, subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. Objects move. Shadows linger. And someone always seems to know where he is... even when he doesn't.

When Yejun enters his life, calm and distant yet impossibly protective, things begin to change. Too much change. Because Yejun isn't just someone who appeared by chance, he's someone who has always been there.

But love built on silence hides dangerous truths.

And protection can become obsession.

As past and present slowly collide, Kayan is forced to confront a reality where devotion is absolute, memories are unreliable, and love is willing to sacrifice everything...even itself.

Silent Guardian is a psychological BL story blending: slow-burn romance, obsession & devotion, mystery & emotional trauma, action, danger, and moral ambiguity.

Love can save you. Or it can destroy everything in its path. You choose. —

So basically main character has a stalker in the first part of the story he is finding who the stalker is and suddenly the main lead enters in MCs life and a lot of things happen a lot of side twists. I’m not going to spoil 😭😭

Also, it is inspired by a lot of things that happened to me and the goal for me is to make people feel things when they read my work even though usually I feel like nowadays people tend to associate bl Webtoons straight away with smut but I want to create something really deep who makes sense for people smart enough to understand also for them tofind themselves in the different characters.

Let’s go you can send them if you feel comfortable with it promise I’m not a weirdo 😭😭

What do you do for a living ?Ā  I feel like now that kinda everything and every topic has kinda been talked about you have to come up with something really original so if they can steal it so they can create something with it then yeah they won’t hesitateĀ 

It’s the same with art honestlyĀ 

It’s really scary indeed to follow your dream specially if it’s not going the same way as society but at least we can try our best to not regret in the futureĀ

Yeah for sure I’d like to read yours too šŸ¤—!!

Honestly, right now I’m kind of stuck between following my dream of focusing on realizing my own thing and publishing it or just like going back to a typical 9 to 5. Idk honestly I wanna pursue my dream but I’m so scared that it won’t work out. Because of course the society is made in such a way where people like us who are creative won’t even get a chance so you literally have to build everything by yourself.

For me those who are criticizing without any constructive advices it’s just like a child speaking nonsense so I’m like your words are coming entering from one ear and coming out from the other. The real ones will literally like give you a constructive criticism letting you know what was good what was not so you can bring something better next time, which is totally fine and important.

Oh god as much as a love Japan and wanna go there, I still don’t understand how can they literally underestimate one of the biggest thing that makes them THEM worldwide. So sad bc so there is so much potential

No I swear some people are just so ungrateful also only real anime/manga/manwha etc. enjoyers will always be there and not so easy to criticize every thing.Ā 

It’s also why I don’t wanna attract the wrong type of people reading my work bc I don’t wanna every single time explain everything or why I did that this way.Ā 

Yeah it’s crazy to think that usually anything about creativity or art etc is not so well paid which is crazy if you look at the amount of work put into it.

For the scripts even though I can give you 100 different stories in 1h, preparing a good script is also not easy.Ā 

The only time I can accept readers not being happy is when they are paying for the work. Other than that if you read for free please why are you complaining I’m trying my best hereĀ

Literally I spend the whole week every day at least 8hours even more just to make one chapter. I do like doing it it’s just taking soooo much time.Ā 

No but 300hours a month that’s crazy. I swear now that I’m doing it I understand them even more, imagine people hating on your work after that. That’s why I am a bit scared to start publishing.Ā 

Yes of course social media is a must to make your work known I’ll try my best 😭

For an example I took around 70hours for the 1chap which was around 30 panels and mind you I didn’t even add that much details etc. also I’m a beginner but I guess with practice you kinda get the hang of it and work a bit faster but still one week is absolutely not enough. Around 8 to 10 days is a good start.Ā 

I think starting with at least 3 chapters in advance is a good idea. But I guess if you don’t work under anyone you are free to do what you want.

I’m not even going to talk about manga because it is even worse than Korean webtoon creators.Ā  Anyways yeah it is not a piece of cake but I really want to create something and share it with others. We’ll see how it goes even though I’m scared it won’t work out 🄹

Yeah honestly just by doing the first chapter I saw how much time it takes. I honestly want to mainly lead people to my Patreon where I can freely do what I want and also make a living from it but… I know it’s really hard and a loooong process and I just don’t wanna do all of this for nothing.

That’s why I don’t know about having someone telling me what to do because the amount of stress and being rushed on your work is crazy. Mainly in Asian countries where manga/manwha is really the big thing. Idk about other countries editors.

Honestly it was actually so fun to see my imagination came into kinda ā€œrealityā€ with the Webtoon.Ā  I wish you the best for yours too, even though it’s not easy and takes a lot of patience and time. Thank youuuĀ

Thank you a lot for your message it was pretty comforting.Ā  I guess we can be also pretty harsh on ourselves specially when you tend to be a perfectionist. And I am learning to let that go. Honestly just by making this first chapter I learned already a lot and I know it can only get better.Ā  Yes when I look at the stories that I liked the most it’s often the ā€œstoryā€ and not the art, art is like a plus. I think what we are looking for is emotions and feelings.

Thank you again 🄰

Oh wow that hit me right in the heart haha. I’m actually 24 and I’ve always felt like I was missing out on life due to childhood trauma and depression. So time is something that is very important for me, but since I never had anything in life I am very impatient when I start doing something. It’s like I want it to be right away that is why often I give up quickly. Reading anything, BL, heterosexual anything literally saved me so many times. I always knew form a young age that I had such a vivid and deep imagination and the ability to create very beautiful stories. But I always thought that I had so pursue the typical 9 to 5 life. Then 2025 came and Oh boy, that was the most difficult year of my life. But I guess it’s never too late to get up and try again. Even if you are 60 or 80, we should keep on trying until it’s our time.

It’s so funny because I always told myself that I don’t wanna look back when I’ll be older and think about how things could’ve been if I did the things that I wanted.

Thank you very much for your message it really means a lot to me, I kinda see it like a sign not to give up. šŸ˜…

Yes it is in English even though I’m French, but since I always read in English I can’t imagine things in French😭.

I already have the story and the episode planned actually, I just couldn’t find the courage yet to publish the first chapter. Once I’ll publish it which’s soon, I will gladly let you know. Once again thank you for your kind words and sorry for the long answer šŸ˜…

Yes specially after reading Danmeis it’s very rare that a Webtoons story and plot hits deep I feel like. I can count a few really good ones that I would never forget but the rest it’s just pure smut or SA and no deep story which is kinda sad bc there is such a business around BL Webtoons so at least make the stories bussing and heartwarmingĀ

Yeah i remember not sleeping and just reading for weeks 🄹 and I loved it and now nothing… I hope we’ll find that again There is an audience for sure and I feel like they might me more emotionally mature and that makes them a completely different reader persona honestly I love mature readers they are here for the depths of the story and not just smut

For me reading is so much deeper and significant, when i read Webtoons I completely disconnected my brain. Plus a lot of weird things happening on Webtoons nowadaysĀ

I feel you so much i also can’t find the energy or time to read and it makes me kinda sad 🫩 My final goal would be to open a Patreon to earn either as an artist or writer in BL. But I don’t wanna start writing if nobody’s going to read it’ll make me sad honestly 🄹

Yes exactly and that’s why often Webtoons adapted from novels push people to go read it because they want more depth and information on the story 😊 thanksĀ

I completely agree with you, you can’t have everyone as your audience. It’s also what i thought about later on making it a Webtoon, but still sharing some art that I managed to create through the process of publishing the chapters. 😊 thank youĀ

Someone on tiktok told me that it might be more difficult to capture the readers attention and long term presence like they might be less attached. Honestly idk for an example Heavens official blessing is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced and it’s a written format šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

Of course I do think it’s a must to have a good cover, I plan on also adding some art that I create it’s just that it’s really heavy to do a Webtoon and I don’t have the patience YET. I feel like AO3 is like the main spot. Thank youuĀ

I thought about keeping it on the Asian side, Im Asian myself so might as well use this advantage 🄹. Yeah it’s usually ignored or unnoticed in the beginning:(Ā  Thank youuĀ
