That One WEBTOON I Don't Talk About— Let's Talk About It
A short video talking about my first WEBTOON I made 10 years ago, Where Tangent's Meet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR; WTM was a story based on a role play with friends. I don't own all the characters, so I don't feel comfortable posting extra content about it without their permissions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something I didn't explicitly state in the video is the fact that me publishing "Where Tangents Meet" did upset a friend at some point, which was the absolute last thing I wanted. So I ended it. It wasn't just because people were being mean. lol
But yeah, those were wild times. People went out of their way to DM me how untalented I was. 😂 I think most people were bothered because it weirdly got a lot of attention for what it was at the time.
But for what it's worth, all of the hate I received during WTM only fueled me to unleash my TRUE writing and art style through Siren's Lament. “ψ(｀∇´)ψ
So the moral of the story is to create what makes you happy (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) And NEVER quit creating just because someone told you're not good enough— Instead, do it to spite everyone who doubted your capabilities (ʘ‿ʘ)❤︎

You're literally one of my favourite creators on webtoon. All to you r stories have so much care put into them. I read WTM after I completed sirens lament and Ioved it. The characters are so genuine and sweet and I hope you know how much of an amazing writer and artists you are.
Thanks for the reminder to keep creating ❤️ When we produce content for others, we’re putting our heart and soul into it, and it never gets easier when the trolls rise. People seem to have no problem tearing others down when they wouldn’t want other people to do it to them. ☹️ But you make wonderful comics that bring joy to others. Please don’t ever stop.
Hands down my favorite Webtoon to date. It was fun and still enjoy both reading it and listening to the music from it (wish Night of Stars was on more than just sound cloud). Glad you were able to bring more stories on! Wish you didn't receive so much criticism, but you do have one more fan of WTM :)
I love all your stories Miso! The beautiful person that you are shines through in your writings and story telling (and the amazing art!) I'm sorry to hear what you've been through and no one should have to go through that. Thank you for coming through and being you and I look forward to your future stories!
This webtoon deserves more praise. It truly highlights somewhat realistic monologue of kids at that time in life, and of that 2010s time in general. I have unfortunately only become aware of webtoons recently, however compared to other popular stories here, the drawing and story is for sure another level ahead. I have enjoyed all your stories on here!! Noticing how your style has progressed over the years to be what it is now is awesome! It is not only unique but super appealing and your story telling is great. You're a wonderful creator❤️
Oh no. You’re going to make me cry and or blush 🥺 thank you, truly 🩷
Thank you for sharing some of the background on WTM. I'm so sad that people can be and were so mean. And I am thankful that that awful experience didn't cause you to give up creating and sharing stories. I love your work so much.
No one should ever give up on doing what they like because someone told them so ❤️ thank you ☺️
It's so sad that you received all that hate over a comic. :/ It must have been terrible. Also it's so stupid and pointless, even if they thought it was bad, why send hate to the creator? Just stop reading it! Why ruin someone's day for no reason? Why ruin their fun? Just go read something else, and let others enjoy what they enjoy. But in any case, good on you for overcoming it all! ❤️
I hope it’s a lot better for new creators nowadays! ❤️ and I think creators can delete any nasty comments now 😂 that wasn’t a thing back then
I’m sorry it caused problems between you and your friend. That being said, it was the first webtoon I read, and I’m so grateful that it was you who introduced me to the world of web comics. I remember being super hyped when you announced Siren’s Lament, and I really look forward to your future projects.
Thanks for your support 🥺🩷
A lot of creative types get their start through collab projects. If we took every fantasy book that was based on someone's D&D campaign out of circulation you'd be left with books that were written in the 70's and earlier. It's definitely not something to beat yourself up over. I know one author who wrote his first book as a collab with a creative society he was part of. After the book was published he got some pushback from one of the members. He rewrote the book, removing that member's contributions, and republished.
That’s cool and comforting to know. 🥰
Big hug and big love, Miso.
that’s so awful that you got so much hate for it as a new webtoon creator 😭💔 i’m so sorry 💔 im glad you didn’t let it stop you from making more webtoons ❤️
I hope it’s a lot better now for new creators nowadays! ❤️ But yeah, I couldnt stop making comics if I wanted to 😭😂
I started reading Webtoons when you were finishing WTM. Watching your journey from the heartbreaking comments to rising like a Phoenix with SL has been an honor 🦋 Incidentally, I also lived in San Diego at that time, so I often felt like I was reading something one of my neighbors could have written, which was a treat! For my own reasons and situations, I also lost a lot of my friends around the same time you were going through your own loss, so I just truly hope that the friends and family you have now are supportive and inspiring. It is *so* taxing to be accessible to the public, especially when people can anonymously abuse us from the privacy of a screen. I'm glad you're still creating, and I wish you all the best 💜
Sending hugs! We’ve both come a long way 🥰
WTM was my introduction to WebToon and because of that I have found so many online comics that I have enjoyed. I have been a fan of your work ever since and always appreciated the themes you use in your stories and how beautiful your art work is. Thank you.
Awhhh thank you. 🥺💕💕💕
The fact that you got bullied for WTM is crazy to me. I read it after I was caught up with SL, and I thought it was cute! Obviously you could tell you were a lot more confident with telling the story of SL, but I always assumed it was just due to experience. Some people just try to be negative for no reason. Im glad you still appreciate it though
It still holds a special place in my heart! And it’s what got me in the door to Webtoons, I’ll always be grateful for it☺️
I discovered you right around the time that sirens lament started and I was instantly hooked. As someone who spent most of their time at the pool pretending to be a mermaid I was entranced. If wtm is what got you there, then I would believe it to be a very precious precious thing.
I agree. Thank you 🥺🩷
