I Have a Question ( •̀ - •́ )
I figured here would be the best place to ask, but let's say IF Siren's Lament did get physical copies, would you mind seeing it remastered a little (style-wise), or would you want for it to stay close to the original as possible?
For a little more context, I feel like a few of the outfit choices in the early chapters are very... 2016. (See Ian below lol) I'm not sure how much new readers would mind— Or how YOU guys would feel if I made alterations!
Also, what type of bonus content would you want to see in a physical book copy?
These are... "research" questions. LOL
Let me know your feedback! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I can’t choose! I would love a physical copy, amd I’d love to see either of the versions. But I’m with the remastered pictures in the middle of each novel 💖💖
I would absolutely love to have a physical copy! I love how it looks personally, but my thoughts kind run alongside people saying about having two versions, with maybe a twist? What if you added remastered pictures in the middle of each novel to add some fun, or at the end! Overall, Im just super excited to hear about it getting a physical copy at all!
I’ve been waiting for this for far too long.🥹💕
There is nothing I would go broke for more willingly than physical copies of sirens lament.
If you sell me a physical copy I will be able to die happy
THIS IS AAHHHHHHHHHHHH INCREDIBLE COOL AMAZING YIPPEEEE Perhaps as an idea for included tidbits is the music? So, YAH, so far plenty people indeed suggested a CD, releases, curation -- WHICH YES, YES, AND YES so many of your fans and moi would genuinely sell our souls for.... Although could you be open to official sheet music? Some angel out there has created two piano arrangements, though I am dying for more xx Ok again gotta express the excitement for this AHHHHHHHHHH. So far webtoon physical releases have been positively cute! Siren's Lament though would definitely look quite epic with a kind of high contrast, smoky ian+lyra+shon art, mystical shiny letters design? swirly patterns or siren shorts style tidbits for the innercover page~! ^^
I don't have a preference lol, yes i would love the original style but i would also love the remastered version. I would just be so happy getting the physical copy bc this was my first ever webtoon i read
I kind of love that the outfits reflect the time it was created! Feels a bit like a time capsule in some ways. But whatever you end up doing, we’d love either way 🫶🏼 the fact that there might be a physical copy is amazing in itself!!!
OHMYGOSH YES My literal favorite webtoons. I’m interested in both. Possibly two versions? If you did and original and a remastered version. I’m not sure
Remastering it sounds like so much work! I support you either way, I'm sure it will still look great in physical form ❤️
my wallet and i are ready miso 🤩🤩
it’s kind of hard to say…i’m loyal to the original, bc i truly think it’s a masterpiece in all its 2010s glory. but if you want to update it to make it finalized for print i WILL NOT complain. i WILL buy a print in whatever you’re comfortable with. either way, miso 💕 i know the feeling of perfectionism when it comes to art 😆
LET'S GOOO!!!!! honestly, i think the sleeveless hoodies fit ian really well and i always thought shon looked so handsome in his simple t-shirts and flannels. i wouldn't mind a remaster though bc i know that you'll still dress them in outfits that fit their personalities best🫶🏻 character sheets would be a nice addition maybe in-between chapters or fun facts about each character. looking forward to the physical release!!
I’d be thrilled with either. I just want a version I can hold and have forever
EXACTLY
OOOOO~~ Phyiscal release! Siren’s Lament was my first Webtoon. I stumbled on the first chapter and got hooked. I stayed up until after dawn. It’s had a special place in my heart since. I love the story as it is, but I would never be opposed to the author remastering their work. As for extra content, I love the ideas of more shorts and seeing the concept art. I’d love to see any conversations that didn’t make it into the Webtoon final and any further stories from the characters after the ending. If it is possible, I would also LOVE for the music by Kenny to be available either with the book or separately. His tracks were mesmerizing and added another layer to the chapters with them.
i second this!!
Why would you make me choose??
I'm always down for physical copies regardless of it being remastered or not. So long as it's physical. Lol. Hmmm Bonuses - extra shorts, filler information (?), extra illustrations (both new and old, don't matter). :D
i second this!!
I like the variations in outfit styles! My vote is keep it as close as realistically possible :) but in the end it's your story! 💕
SIRENS SHORTS PLSSS AND MAYBE NEW ONES TOO HEHE I LOVE THEM
I am so SO excited to own a physical copy of SL!!! I've been wishing for it since before the series ended 🤩 That said, I love love the original art (it was the first webtoon I read and fell in love with) so my vote is to keep it original! However, I do agree with other commenters that you should do what YOU would be most proud to have published! We will support you either way, Miso! 💖 I'm also in the boat of wanting bonus content that shows us more flashes of the future with the characters! Kind of like what you post here lol. But I just love seeing the fishy babies happy!
I saw someone already mention the siren's shorts, I love those and they would be wonderful bonus content! Plus I agree with the people who also suggested putting "throwback" illustrations at the end if you update the artwork, you know, for nostalgia (looking respectfully at 2016 Ian).
Remastered would be cool! Especially since this would kind of be the Definitive version in book form, you'd want to be proud of the contents! and I can imagine some things that aren't really timeless can make it feel old HOWEVER, on the other hand, small things like characters wearing certain fits could cement it in the time period it's from (if this is something that interests you!) both are cool to me, but I definitely think whatever you think you'd want to see as the 'final' version of sorts to be in the book should ultimately be the choice!
I don’t mind the old style, though I can totally see how making the clothes more timeless could help bring in future readers! Your art style improved little by little over time during the course of SL that I didn’t even noticed how much it changed until I saw side-by-side comparisons! 😂
I love concept sketches and things! Also, I prefer an updated style, because I think that it's more representative of the artist at the time of the physical release, instead of when the comic was online. But I'll be jazzed about a physical release either way!!
Also I am definitely one for original concept art/ sketches!!
I would like to see part of the story through Shon’s point of view, even if was just a chapter. We know later in the story that he had harbored feelings for Lyra for so long, that it would be cool to see say the first chapter through his point of view. Wanting Lyra but feeling like he should keep his distance, thinking she doesn’t feel the same.
ooooh this would even make such a great bonus chapter if you didn’t want to make any big changes
Ohh! I'm re-reading Siren's Lament and even made a mental note the other day to tell you how much I LOVE the art style there, even if it's a bit rougher sometimes than your style is now. It's just so pretty! So my vote is for keeping closer to the original, though then again whatever you decide is fine with me because your style is just really pretty now as it was back then. :D HOWEVER, outfit updates are welcome. :D
YES PLEASE to physical copies!! For bonus features would love to have the sirens shorts included, maybe some of the art you’ve done on here and /or snippets of their future lives
I can't decide.... I love Ian in this outfit, I still have it in my mind when thinking about the comic from memory! I don't think outfit swaps are needed for them, but if you want to refine some of the artwork to feel satisfied, why not? 😊 You can see your art glow up during the comic A LOT! 😎 Even if it was fantastic from the start, I hope you know what I mean!
I like the original but if you're not happy with it, it's totally up to you! ❤️
Okay but physical of EN when?😏
😉 Luckily, Eaternal was made more recently, so I won’t have to worry about fixing too much 😂
I would love to see it remastered if there's something you want to change, but I actually love the old style too, including the very 2016 vibes of some of the outfits!
I love the original but I would like to see the remastered version of it to see your new style of work and I LOVE THIS STORY AND WANT TO OWN IT PLEASE Release a physical copy
I would be absolutely fine with either, but being able to kinda compare the new tweaks to the original on WEBTOON would be kinda fun
Ooo and as a bonus maybe you could do the downloads for Kenny’s music again or set up a Spotify reading playlist and include the link
I cannot wait for a physical copy! I’d love to see a snapshot into the future with any and all of the couples future kids!
I love the original, as for bonus content if you are updating the style I think putting the original content would be nice bonus material.
Modernise the outfit should be nice (even if Ian will always be the cutest hottie 🥰) As bonus content... Some art you made for us here ? And/or some chibi?
Behind the scenes stuff. Like how you created the characters and decided setting and plot etc.
Ooh also illustrations love that shit🥹
I would absolutely purchase physical copies! Please release in one format though I beg you 🙏🙏🙏 I like to have the same format for a series (either all paperback/hardback) I would love to get a signed copy too!!!!!!
I would love either option but definitely want to see Siren’s Shorts!!
YES PLEASE!!! 😍 I will purchase and continue to support whichever decision you choose! Both sound amazing! I would love a physical copy! I’ve been letting my sister read it when I can on my phone but some of the episodes are locked. WEBTOON won’t work on her old phone and I’ve been letting her read your work on my phone. I myself have been wanting to reread it, I love the story and the character SO much! But I can’t get some other episodes to unlock. I love all of your stories and would love to see them all in physical copies one day! 🖤
I think adding in a bunch of the extra art and shorts you've done on here would be a cute idea for extras!
I loved the original style but it was interesting seeing you improve overtime. Personally, I’d love to see how a remastered version would look & honestly you could never go wrong with the 2016 version it gives nostalgia ❤️💕
I sincerely like to see the evolution of artists in their works and if it is Siren's lament even more because it is my favorite webtoon! And if we add a special edition with the soundtrack... WOW I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW WONDERFUL THAT WOULD BE😭
Omg, I'd absolutely love a CD with Kenny's SL soundtrack
ORIGINAL ORIGINAL!!!!!!!
Lmao I was instantly gonna say yes without reading the whole post cause I saw Siren’s Lament and physical copy 🤣 I don’t mind a remaster version so everything seems more cohesive and up to date with your style? 👀 There’s def a few scenes I’d love to see remastered in your current style. Totally up to you though. I’ll buy it regardless LOL I’d love to see maybe some early sketches or WIPs on how Sirens Lament came to be? Maybe if you have any scenes that didn’t make the cut lol.
PERSONALLY i wouldn’t mind if you kept the original as it is for nostalgia! But if you chose to remaster it as well that would be wonderful too! The nostalgia of the original is close to people’s hearts as well so either decision is fine with me!! :)
I think at the end of the day it’s your decision. You could always have some of the originals included as before and after content so new readers could see. Otherwise, I think what matters most is what you want YOUR comic to look like 💚 I mean imma buy it regardless LMAO
Physical copy and remastered can help new people reading into it! You can add a bonus in the Physical copy showing the old designs just show new readers what they look like before now!!
The “shorts” or chibi’s you have of everyone mixed it would be fun! I also said remastered but at the same time i love the original as is, so maybe if you remaster it have some of the original panels at the back as well maybe? 🤔
The “If” just keeps my hope alive 😭
😉
A remaster sounds awesome!! Of course I love the peek into the past, but ultimately I'd be excited to see the SL cast in fancy new duds
I think it would be fun to see it a little remastered but you do you! I love it regardless
I LOVE the original! Although a remaster would be fun, I’d be more willing to purchase a physical copy that remains true to the webtoon published version, as that’s the version that has the nostalgia and the good vibes of 2016. I’ll support the release either way, but seeing the fashion choices will give me a good giggle ☺️
