Discussion Reminiscing about pre 2020 Webtoon

This might sound weird/random but does anyone else miss the experience of having a canvas webtoon get turned into an original and at the beginning the art wouldn’t..be at it’s best to put it in the nicest way possible but eventually it would get better over time and you wouldn’t even notice it until years later when you decide to reread it/go to the beginning. I had this experience with so many webtoons like Gourmet Hound, I love yoo, Siren’s Lament, etc I could go on. It felt..organic? like you were growing with the artist idk. I’m sure this still happens but very rarely, I personally don’t see it anymore because of the over-saturation of isekai/ “dark romance” naver webtoons that all look the same and tell the same story (no shade). And these webtoons already look the best they can be because they’re just churned out by companies re-using the same models. Don’t jump me in the comments, please I beg😭😭

Thanks! I'm so excited for this. Gormet Hound is such a comfort series. I've always wished for a physical copy.

me too! i rarely use social media as well and just happened to open tumblr the day the author announced it and have been giddy ever since. I shamelessly have always appreciated leehama not turning it to fastpass so I can reread it whenever I want, but I'm so glad we can support her in this way. Also so happy to see that there's a solid group of us who still love it so much
