episode_0077

It’s already been 6 months since I started serializing Yeonam Station.

Sometimes two episodes are uploaded a day, so about 220 episodes have already been published.

The progress is a bit fast.

I’m going to slow down the pace of serialization and upload only one episode a day.

“By the way, more Yeonnam Station goods are popping up than expected.”

I don’t know if it’s because I created the genre called Yeo-nam Station Tales and it became a huge hit, but the number of works being serialized with the Ye-nam Station Tale tag is increasing considerably.

There are quite a few works that have already been paid for.

I’m still not sure if this is a blue ocean or a red ocean… or just a small lake.

Nevertheless, when I see the writers who are devoting themselves to this genre with me, I feel happy and reassured deep in my heart.

“Oh… I think there are some works that are doing better than expected.”

I didn’t know about things like rankings because I don’t really look at them, but it seems like there are quite a few high-ranking female-male dramas, whether paid or free.

Before common sense changed, gender reversal stories were one of the completely minor genres…

There’s something different about this feeling.

This situation is both rewarding and unfamiliar.

I was happily browsing the homepage and clicked on the tab to open a new window to look at a webtoon.

I need to write a little bit, but since I have plenty of time, I keep fooling around.

Since I only have to use one side until 5pm anyway, I often end up doing something else.

Today, I’ve only written two episodes and am doing something else.

Well… it’ll be okay, right?

There are still about 200 episodes left in stock.

“The angle of completion is slowly becoming visible.”

Of course, the number of episodes currently serialized is 220, and the stockpile is around 200 episodes.

Even if I were to finish it, I would probably finish it around the middle of episode 500.

There is still a long time left.

Even if it’s completed, if you do webtoon, drama, etc., you’ll be so busy that time will fly by.

“I also need to organize the drama scenario I am currently writing.”

It may seem like I’m hanging out and doing other things a lot, but I really have a lot to do.

Right now, I have to pay attention to things like the animation of my previous work and the drama of my new work, and I’m working two jobs as a drama scenario writer.

It may seem like I only write two articles a day, but if you think about taking care of other miscellaneous things, no one would have as much work to do as I do.

So, it would be okay to watch QTube and read webtoons for about 2 hours, right?

After making such a ridiculous and sophistical self-justification, I looked through it while laughing.

Ugh… Today is also the day of the week when I have 4 webtoons to watch.

Is it just me?

I strangely look forward to the days of the week when I watch a lot of webtoons.

So before, I would wait until it was uploaded and then run it all at once.

Lately, I haven’t been able to watch it while taking a break.

These days, the reason I can’t read it is because I’m writing comments on readers’ comments.

“Wow… Even as the author of the original work, I am amazed at every episode…”

I want to see the author’s face.

It’s right next door, so you can see it right away, but you can’t believe they’re solving this part again like this.

How do you create a scene like this where the female protagonist opens a bottle of water to the male protagonist who is smoking on the street and pours it on his head?

It’s just a half-gag part, but it’s surprising that it was drawn so that everyone can understand the hidden meaning.

“I don’t know if it’s the drawing artist Minjae who is great, or the story writer.”

Both are great, right?

I’m really curious about how the webtoon story author writes.

Should I ask Minjae?

However, just because you are the author of the original work, you cannot read it without permission.

“Or… let’s try to meet the writers.”

I don’t have any contact information, so you can ask Minjae.

Ah… I guess you don’t have time for that again.

You might not know if you live nearby.

You probably live near Seoul, right?

Also, it’s a bit awkward for me to go to Seoul…

I don’t think we’ll be able to meet this time.

We can only promise what happens next.

“Huh?”

“So, the story writer said he would like to meet you sometime.”

When Minjae called me over, he said that the story writer suddenly said he wanted to see me.

He also said he would come in person.

Is there such an amazing coincidence?

Until just now, I was even thinking about wanting to meet you sometime.

“What should I do? Do you want to meet?”

“I’m fine…”

“Then you send it saying it’s okay? He was a real fan.”

“But is it a man or a woman?”

“It’s a woman.”

“Hmm… Well, I guess it’s okay.”

Wouldn’t it be a bit strange for two men to meet a woman? That’s what I thought, but wouldn’t it be okay to bring Da-hye along as an editor? A thought came to mind quickly.

The editor is also one of our stakeholders, so it wouldn’t be strange at all if we went out together.

Plus, she’s my girlfriend.

“Dahye, you’re going too, right?”

“Uh, yes.”

“I knew it would be you. I told you in advance, so don’t worry.”

It seems like he already said that if I were to meet him, his girlfriend would go with him.

I never thought Minjae would have such a meticulous side.

Surprisingly, things started going smoothly.

Minjae’s cell phone rang loudly a few times, and the date to meet was already set.

“They come next Thursday.”

“Okay. Tell Dahye too…”

I had it engraved in a corner of my mind as a meeting with the webtoon story author.

You might wonder what the point is since it will disappear from your mind in two days, but before that, you can write it down somewhere else.

“By the way, have you seen this episode?”

“I saw it. I saw it before I came here… I didn’t know you could express it that way?”

“How was it?”

“Should I say that everything I wanted to express came out.”

When I wrote it down, there were some readers who didn’t understand it.

Personally, I thought it was a bit of a failure because there were parts that I couldn’t understand at first and felt like I had to watch it twice to understand.

So I was thinking about revising it or not, but Da-hye told me not to, because it would only lead to confusion if I revise something that had already been solved.

They say that they may be throwing rice cakes, which are meant to be food for fish, to readers who write strange conspiracy theories or swear words to harass them.

The analogy is funny.

The rice cake was really rice cake.

“Anyway, it was good that the rice cake in that part was revealed in a refreshing way.”

“But… I guess people who don’t understand that read it roughly.”

“No matter how much it is, the fact that there are several people who don’t understand means that I solved the problem in a strange way.”

There are so many people who just pass by and see if pouring bottled water on a person’s head is a solution to the problem.

When writing in the first place, you don’t want to mess around with that part.

“As expected, the writers who write stories are profound. I also want to write my own story and serialize it later…”

“Are you at a loss?”

“I wasn’t like that at first, but after hearing what you said, I’m at a loss. ”

“It’s all like that at first.”

I was like that before I started writing.

It’s like a feeling of uncertainty, like wondering if I can write like other people.

***

That feeling of despair.

It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a really long time.

When I finished my conversation with Minjae and sat down to write, the ideas that would come to me just sitting at the desk were not appearing in my head.

Rather, my mind is confused as strange parts of what I have written so far come to mind.

Should I at least drink a glass of water?

With that in mind, I slowly got up from my seat and walked out the door.

At that moment, Da-hye also came out to drink water and was standing in front of the refrigerator.

I picked up the cup I put down and poured some bottled water on the table for a refreshing one-shot.

“Phew…”

“It’s cool, right? I suddenly couldn’t put my mind together so I went out for a drink.”

“Me too. When I suddenly sat down, I became distracted and my head was so full that I couldn’t do anything?”

I poured another glass of water into the cup and drank it down.

Wow…my throat is cold.

“Hehe. Then should we just go out and eat something delicious today?”

“Is that so? You said you wanted to eat spicy braised ribs before, right?”

“The braised ribs over there are famous for being very delicious. You don’t know because you don’t use social media or anything like that, right?”

Is this a SNS restaurant?

There is a popular Spicy Galbijjim restaurant near the officetel, and it seems that spicy restaurants are once again competing with each other thanks to SNS.

There used to be a lot of Buldak cheese and other things.

I haven’t seen you lately… Where has everyone gone?

I don’t know if it’s a seasonal business, but spicy and delicious food is a great way to relieve stress.

After eating something delicious and relieving some stress, you might feel refreshed again, so it might not be a bad idea to give it a try.

“There will be things like cool pieces and steamed eggs there, right?”

“If you don’t sell it to a spicy restaurant, no one will go there.”

“Well.”

Then I should go right away.

You can order about 3 pieces of steamed egg and 3 pieces of 1 liter Coolpis and eat them frequently.

I’m not good at eating spicy food either.

My sister said she wanted to eat it, so I added Cheongyang peppers to the Altari radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish radish that my sister wanted to eat, so I couldn’t eat it either.
