Update 8/24
Hello everyone,
Really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for everything. Patreon has been a huge support system for me, and it's taken a immense load of stress off my shoulders. More importantly, I have gotten to know a lot of you personally through this platform as well.
But I need to get a few things off my chest.
This message is applicable to whoever it's applicable to; you'll know who you are:
There's a reason why I've set my goal to $1500 and haven't gone any higher since it's been met. It's because it's all I needed in order to be comfortable. I'm trying to be healthy, and to be able to write this story for a long time. All I want is for everyone to be able to enjoy it along with me.
All this "She makes so much, but her chapters are so short! Her work is rushed! She takes too many breaks! She has no work ethic! She's lazy! Blah blah blah" crap -- I'm done with it. My chapters have always been long, and they have grown even longer since I met this goal. I am putting my everything into this. I am proud of what I've done with the story, and I'm proud of both the quantity and quality of my work.
From now on, I'll be setting my Patreon status to private.
If I'm not performing at the level you were expecting, or if my story is a disappointment, or if I take too many breaks, or if my rewards are always late, or if I'm a lazy person, or if you hate me, etc., please, just don't donate. This is a place for positivity, for support, and for people who want to see this story progress healthily.
To everyone else: I'm sorry for posting something so negative. Hopefully, this will be the last. Also, I'll be working on July rewards later today.
Once again, thank you for all the support. UnOrdinary would've never gotten this far without you. For real.
Love, uru-chan

:c sad to hear that you had to go through this. unO has taken over my life unlike any other stories, not even Naruto / other top series have captivated my interest so much. I just loved the entire system and the different characters, there's so much to think about, so much to analyse, yet it's comfortable and not overwhelming. The series captured different perspectives unlike any other, and I think you did an unparalleled job in portraying realistic relationships and conflicts, till this day I'm still in awe at how you did this. it took me a long time to understand John, but once I did it was enlightening, I've never encountered people like him irl so it's refreshening to see another perspective like that. The characters are so amazingly consistent as well, never once did I think something is cliched or someone acted out of character without any reason. Thank you for this awesome series, I've been reading since unO was still on Challenge League, and I will stay till its big finale. Just thank you for this amazing work.

And saw your work.* (didn't look at the mistake XD)
I just love your webtoon, I was causally reading random new manga and saw your work then saw your work. I though it would be ok to read but I just love it and read it all in 2-3h. I loved it so much that I becam patreon you as soon as I can sorry for bein just a citizen but I had spent way too much in other games this month. But I really hope you take time and make the story interesting. ^^
Thanks, appreciate the support Luci! <3
Producing something on your own is always very difficult work. You do a terrific job. I love Arlo, he's the man!
I absolutely love your work
Thanks again, Richie :)
I have definitely seen the negative comments you spoke of; most of them seem to come from non-patrons. Uru-chan, I love you and your work and I'm happy to support you regardless of what people claim are shortcomings or what they complain about.
Hey Uru-chan, I think you're doing great work. I love every chapter and I'm always excited to read the next one. A lot of times some of my friends and me talk about it on discord and they all love it too and we always have many theories about what's going to happen next! I don't comment much but I always read the posts and all the rewards from your patreon have been awesome. Sending you all the positivity and motivation I can! I'm glad I can send some support your way to keep making this wonderful story come to life.
Oh wow....there will always be "Negative Nancy's" please know that you and your talent are loved and appreciated. Thank you for sharing your art and storytelling with us. :-)
And ur last chapter was very long...like very very long from what u usually do. 👏💕💕
URU CHANN I ADMIRE EVERYTHING U DO!!! Everyone needs breaks at one point and u cant expect someone to write a whole story and draw/color it in such a short time and make it look as pretty as u do it.. Thanks to u i love thursdays now..no matter how short or long the chapters r its always great💕💕keep up the great work u r doing and dont push urself too much
Ignore those scrubs! Other people around the world who make manga/manhua/comics/etc takes days off. Don't worry about them and keep up the good work! Awesome storyline!
You got this uru chan just do you. Whatever route you take will be the correct path. Awesome characters and great story keep up the good work
I love your work! Don't let anyone else dictate how you do it! Whether that be pace, style, length, it doesn't matter. It's your work, do it your way. Always.
You should already know how I feel about you and the work you do <3
Yes Alex, I do :)
Every one has their own opinion, with that being said it is not that hard to ignore something someone doesn't like. However I among many others enjoy greatly the amount of work and effort you put into making the chapters, and I can speak at least for myself when I say I will happily keep supporting your work! I hope you are doing well!
Honestly thank you for being awesome and creative. I love you work and appreciate you.
People acctually said this... why just why.
Uru-Chan, thanks for all you do. I have been here since chapter 1 and watching this story and you grow as an author as been extremely rewarding. You do amazing work and I look forward to your work to come :). Also, just know that for the people that truly support you, the quality of work and the content you provide is more than enough. We are all here for you, keep up the hard work <3
Uru-chan. Nooooo. I love your artwork/ plot twist storyline (lol) and I understand you have other things. But don't let the negativity hit you. I will always read it on WEBTOON!! Wooooot unordinary. <3
Don't bother with them. I personally love your work and where the story is going. Just do what you always been doing.
Don't let it get to you, just go at your own pace. Those who really care understand and will stick by you. Keep up the good work :)
Absolutely love your work it is worth any wait!! Unfortunately we live in a instant society where patience has gone out of fashion - anytime you delay you're only helping us develop this important life skill, way to go !!! Keep doing what you need to do to be healthy and don't allow anyone to make you feel bad for it! Thank you again for sharing your awesome work with all of us!
Everyone has people who hate them for whatever reason, but screw it We love you and your work :D! As long as uru-chan is ok not much else is worth worrying about <3!
So I'm supporting another patron that goes through a lot of the same type of comments. For reasons like he doesn't post everyday and etc. He started not minding those comments at all because people will always complain at whatever you do. He would just not reply to those comments anymore. It's a pretty good tactic. Since if even the creator of One Piece gets trash talked on a daily basis for taking consistent breaks then it's really just a waste of time. Will feel better to go on with the mentality that whatever you do will always be met with harsh criticism. Love Your work and stay up 🤙🏻
Don't listen to the haters uru-chan. Your work is and always has been amazing. Thursday has become a day to look forward to since I've caught up with the novel. Keep up the good work and don't let the negativity get to you! Know that we support you all the way!
I really enjoy reading your graphic novel. It is a nice break from the normal stereotypical super hero kind of novel. For those who say that your not that good, they can forget themselves, because you are an amazing novelist.
Your comics pretty much become my Thursday highlight especially since college started. I just want to say I'm genuinely thankful for the work you put into your webtoon every week. I'm sure plenty of others feel the same so don't feel down because of some haters because your work brightens someones day everyday. I happen to be one of those people so I can say that :)
We support you because you're doing an AMAZING job! Honestly, your work has a fanbase of millions and you still take the time to engage with each of us personally. That takes so much commitment! Please don't let the haters into your heart. They are pitiful people who just need a thing to hate because they can't stand how much they hate themselves. Please don’t be afraid to lean on us — to vent, to ask for more help — because we'll do anything we can to make sure you can keep making art.
thank you so much Brian, your comment really cheers me up! I'll keep at it, don't worry :)
Don't listen to the selfish people! I can't even handle drawing for two straight minutes. I know how hard it must be to make something as awesome as this. But I want you to know that UnOrdinary is the one thing that makes me really, really excited for Thursdays, and that It's one of the best things I've ever read. The fact that some people demand more out of you kinda makes me mad, as a matter of fact. Don't push yourself because of rude people. It reminds me of one of Aesop's fables I once read. It involves a Father, his son, and his donkey. The father is constantly criticized by other people, and he changes in order to appease them, until he eventually tries to please everyone and he accidentally kills his donkey. If you try to please everyone you will please no one. And besides, graciously giving me an awesome webtoon to enjoy every Thursday is enough for me. All I ever wanted from you was to un-gel John's hair, and I got that, didn't I? Anyway, thanks for making this comic and keep up the good work!
lolol thanks Wesley! Good to know you look forward to Thursdays. I believe I've heard that fable before. I'll make sure to take care of myself :)
Hi hi hi hi hi. Hi
I love you and your story Uru-chan. Don't listen to the negativity. Your story is what I always look forwards to each week. Please don't push yourself to much. I'd rather have the story on your time than it cause you to be unhealthy. I love you and you're my favorite writer/artist
thanks Nick! That means a lot :)
I only think the chapter/episode(whatever the hell they're called)s are short because I read fast AF. That being said, I don't mind this, primarily because I understand how aggravatingly difficult it is to illustrate much of anything, much less a full-blown webcomic (because I happen to have friends whom illustrate). Keep up the fine work.
Lol, thanks Sean. I will :)
Wow to think that people would say that to such a talented creator. It's like they don't realize that behind the art is a real person. YOU come first Uru and you always will. Just know that those of us that seriously love and support your work will always understand that, and we'll always be here to support you!
I appreciate it. Thanks for all your support Lewlew! :)
Hey there, I'm sorry people on the internet can be so cruel. Just keep chugging along and growing. Shed off all that negative crap. Even though we may be strangers, it warms my heart to see artists like you succeed because I have many friends who have given up on art for various reasons. So I hope you can take the positive energy from your family, friends, and fans and keep growing as an artist and a person. I hope to keep reading your works, so please don't stop anytime soon!
Yes, the only reason why unOrdinary has gotten so far is because of the overwhelming support you've all given me. Thanks Christopher! :)
Uru-chan im sorry to hear that and im a new patron but just do you. You're art is wonderful and extraordinary. Its an expression of you, not us and the way your art is being shown is just spectacular!!! Ik everyone has different views of you but im not just saying this just to support you but so that you understand that you are one of the biggest inspirations to me. I live in the art department and could never decide what art i want to focus on so i did all of them and lost confidence because it never works out at the end, but when i read your stories, it just inspires me to never give up and do you best! To acknowledge your own work and dont care what others think about it. To me and im sure to many others, art is a way for us to express ourselves and i wouldn't have been this far without you so forget those haters because you deserve more than that, A LOT MORE. *hug* thanks for being the best!!!! <3 we're always here for you!!! talk to us if you ever need anything!!!!
Sorry this had to be one of the first posts you read Lonnol. I'm glad things are working out for you now, and that I was able to contribute to it somehow. Yes, always keep at what you want to do, and build from yourself, not from others. Thank you :)
Your work is great and I, personally, don't think it matters how long it takes. I know that, as a novice writer, inspiration and drive can sometimes be hard to come by. I know that I personally follow you and support you because I love your content. If you need time to catch up or get inspiration then take it. : )
Thanks Misfit, appreciate the support!
People suck, dont listen to em i cant imagine doing all drawing and writing each week, and so well none the less, if i had more cash id donate more, i wanna see this comic complete but not at the expense of the artist, and not because a bunch of shit heads are trying to rush u.
Lolol, thanks Jacob! ;)
You also deserve a break and you should take one whenever you want. Xxxxx
Wow! I can't believe someone would say that to you! How mean and rude! Uru-chan, I'm not kidding. Every Thursday you make my morning and help me get out of bed with your updates! I love Unordinary so much. Its my fave webtoon ever. I love it more than any anime, even black butler! My brother and I discuss the story every week and it's just amazing. It's also got longer and longer and the art is better and better. Don't let the haters get you down. They're just jealous that they can't make something as amazing. You're super talented and one of the three story tellers / artists I greatly admire! Thank you so much for having Patreon and making your webtoon!
Thanks Lsyliu, your comments always cheer me up. And it's an honor to be admired :)
Ps. Is it just me or does anyone else hear chewy in their heads whenever you roll the r in uru name as you say it out loud XP
Uru-chan i really love you and your work! Your chapters aren't short!! I really enjoy to reading the UnOrndinary because this is wonderful web comic!!! ^^ ♡♡♡
Thank you Szabó!
Look uru-chan I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this and I certainly won't be the last but I don't give my money two creators very often in fact you're the only person on patreon that I give money to and there's a very good reason for that it's not because I want the Creator to change the way they create their content in any way shape or form I give my money because of your contact because of the quality of the work if you need to take a break you need to take a break and nobody knows better then you as to when that is don't let the people who are trying to change you get to you I've seen it up there before and I'll repeat it again you do you don't let other people try to change the way you are that's all I've got to say and you're still going to get my money anyway even if you take four month Hiatus for some reason the only thing I ask in return is a hey going to be out for a while and that's all I'll ever ask
Thanks for the kind words Daryin. I'm always able to break through all the negativity because of the support I've gotten from everyone. xD Side note: There's no way I'd take a break that long ;)
I'm kinda pissed that anyone would think that you're lazy or that your chapters are short. It's perfectly understandable that you have other commitments IRL and that your life doesn't revolve around being a featured creator on webtoons. It takes a lot of hard work and talent to become featured, and I just want to say that you and your comic are an inspiration to not only me, but also your other fans. Reading Unordinary makes every Thursday a little bit better for me, and I'm sorry to see that not everyone appreciates your hard work and realises that you are just another human being who is not just a webtoon creator.
Thank you KuroNeko. I know how you and a lot of people feel without even reading your comment <3. Really appreciate the love and support! Your comments make my day better too :)
you're the best Uru-chan and that is, no matter whats others said B)
Thanks Elu
You should just ignore people like that, that don't appreciate the work you do for us
Thanks Auron, I have been for a long time. Just wanted to shut it down finally. :)
As my first pateron I will support you as much as i can
Thanks BigK :)
Uru-chaan I <3 you and the story so you know... don't get down, I can understand why people complain and want longer chapters (cause they love the story you've created! And want more) even I after reading your chapters think... mm maybe we should put uru-chan in a dark room and make her draw night and day muahah 😈 but that's because we're so excited to know... haha that being said... I lovee you and UnOrdinary! So take your time and do whatever you want! It's your story! Just be optimistic and be happy at your rithm, I can wait TT really... TT hahahha I <3... and will continue supporting you! 😊😚
Thanks Yin! Lol yes, I have no problem with the ones who want longer chapters, because they do motivate me to write more. It's the ones who discredit my work ethic that affect me the most.
your comic is amazing and inspiring to me on so many levels, I really can't put it into words. I just wanted to say that you are amazing and your work is amazing <3
I'm really happy to hear that. Means I did my job! Thanks Quin <3
You're doing great! Keep up the awesome work! <3
thanks Josh :)
Thats probably very disheartening, all of that hate. I hope that the haters can try to understand with this post how hard you work and how amazing your work truly is. I personally love your story and the art work especially. Do your best, stay positive, and always think about yourself first! No need for us to even complain about your breaks and your "short chapters". The people on webtoon get to read your work for free and don't have any say in what you do to make it happen. The people that actually support your work are here for you! <3
They're unavoidable, but at least I was able to defend myself. Thanks a lot Anna! I'm able to continue writing the story because of everyone's encouragement
UnOrdinary is THE BOMB! People just don’t know what struggles you’re going through daily. We all have our problems to face. Keep you chin up! There are many who support you! *sends love to uru chan*
I know there are, Gavin. You included. Thank you :)
I love reading it. Can see it becoming an animation. Would be pretty cool seeing it if it does. Plus your work is great. Color blends well with the environment.
Thanks Ray :)
Take your time! I love the constant charecter development and changes everyone goes through in the story, so you should always take as much time as you need and pace the story how ever you see fit! You're the best Uru-chan! ♥️
im glad you do Angus. Thank you, I will :)
omg, people seriously say that crap?! Well, to hell with them. If they want to be that way and if they don't want to try to understand how much work goes into what you do, they can go somewhere else. You're an amazing creator and a wonderful person. I both love and anticipate reading your work every week, and you are always a joy to talk to. Don't ever let anyone make you feel bad about what you do or what they want to claim you don't do.
thanks Chris. We talk a lot, so I already know how you feel. Always appreciate the kinds words and encouragement <3
How can anybody call you lazy or having no work ethic? It seems you pour your heart and soul into this story to make it a quality read. Ive loved your work since i found webtoon and i always will appreciate the effort you put into it. And if i had the money id be donating like crazy but im currently broke.
thanks Matthew, I'm glad my passion can get through. Lol, don't worry about the money. What you do already is plenty :)
I noticed that they started getting a lot longer, around the time Arlo betrayed John was when I noticed. I donate bc I loved the art, and I'm invested in this story. Doesn't matter to me how long it takes ✌✌
Thanks Alphonse, your support has been incredible :)
You be you, Uru-chan.
Thanks Zach <3
Yo ura-chan people will always hate it's there way to feel like they have power if I'm one of those people I'm sorry
You're right Deadlocal, but it does feel good to be able to finally defend myself :)
uru.chan.... I am so sorry you feel that way. I sure know you work very hard and that is why I support you. Please consider one day coming back to those who love and appreciate you so dearly
Thanks Tiger! I know you do, and I really appreciate it <3
Uru-chaaaaaan
<3
Love you and your work, thanks for building such a fantastic story. :)
Thanks a lot, Zage <3
Wait but I love you Uru-Chan 😭
I know you do Dejion :) This message is not targeted at you
