(sad rant)

is anyone still interested in this comic?

i was so excited for this chapter but the engagement is down so much and every time i open patreon i have like 3 more people unpledged.. i feel extremely sad and unmotivated

my real life situation is so stressfull i just wanna lay down and cry.. idk if i'll be able to get many pages done by Friday... i wanted to do atleast 6 but life came and kicked my ass once again

i hate not being able to deliver, its stressing me out so much more... but at this point i really dont know what to do...

im sorry to be so negative but i feel really hopeless

i'll see what happens over the next few day, im so sorry to keep disappointing you

I love the comic! My introverted self doesn’t really leave comments a lot and I’m sorry for that. You are not disappointing us!!! Life gets hard and gets in the way of things we really want to do. I have been seeing from a lot of other people I pledge to that their enrollment is down as well. Unfortunately, I think with the rising cost of everything other things are taking priority over pledging to Patreon. I don’t know about anyone else who pledges to you, but I will wait as long as I need to for comic updates. So take your time. If you need to take a break, do it. ❤️

😭😭😭😭💖 thank you 💖😭😭 you are so sweet 🥲💖 i feel a little better hearing that 😭😭😭😭

I still enjoy your comics! I am also just really bad at commenting and liking on patron, I forget how important it is! Hope things start to get better for you, you're doing great!

I am. I try to engage in comments, and i always hit the like button (though sometimes i notice when I go back on later, that like button has unselected itself) Sometimes though I don't really have anything to say. I still enjoyed the page, but I don't know what I could add to it. It does mean that I'm also then guilty for not engaging on other apps, which is bad when those apps use engagement as a feedback loop. As for pledge drops. I can't say. I've pledged long term to creators, and then I've pledged on a short-term intermittent basis. Sometimes financial realities have meant I've had to unpledge because I need all the cash I can get. Some people are also just spoilt and impatient even when you have a visible, publicised schedule that you stick to.

I've been reading for 3-4 years, I love this comic so much. It was one of the first ones I started on webtoons back in the day. I may not be able to speak for everyone, but I intend to stick around to see this to the end. Be it in 5 months or 5 years. Others may not be as patient as some of us here, but I at least know first hand just how taxing it can be to draw such an extensive story, let alone one of this quality. Just keep up the good work and have faith!

I love this comic! I think with how much the cost of everything has gone up in everyday life like groceries, clothing... I think people are trying to cut cost where they can. Unless something major happens in my life, I intend to stay till the end. You could also maybe send out a poll and ask again how people like to get your content. Once a week or month. Hope this helps

I have been your Seki fan ever since you put the comic on Tapas! I would love to see to the very end as I want to know what happens to your Seki! Please do not give up because of people leaving Patreon for any reason they may have. Perhaps they have financial issues or lose a job? I am determined to support you as long as I can! I find that my expenses have increased lately in stupid Trumpland. :( I tried my best to cut wherever I could here and there. Your plot is excellent! Always exciting developments to be have to seen next update here and Tapas! Your art works are fine and it’s your works, no one has a business to tell you how to do it! I love your arts. After all, I did commission you! 😁👍💚🙏 As for my comments, I do leave comments whenever I see a need to. I know I do not do it often. But, PLEASE know I do support and think of you and bois very much! I am sending you heaps of 💚💚💚 and 🫂🫂🫂 now. Hope you know I am still here for ya and your bois!! 😁👍🙏💚😁👍🙏💚

Robert

PS Please take it easy on yourself. Try not to get burnout. Rest well and enjoy your wine. 🤭😁👍🙏💚🫂

patricia allen

I most definitely am. I have been around for what seams to be a life time. I know life is just crap but I do miss your work.

rukan kawayama

I miss posting my work 😭 I have like 10 pages prepared 😭 things just keep getting in the way of me working more on them 😭😭😭😭

rukan kawayama

Thank you 🥲💖 it’s difficult.. I feel like I got more engagement when I did weekly pages but I literally had no time to do anything else when I did that and I need to do commissions now to be able to live 😩

rukan kawayama

You don’t have to worry you are probably the most active person haha and one of the people who have been with me the longest 💖😩 I appreciate you 🥲 we have fun

J

I am! And I'll keep supporting it (and you) for as long as I can! I'm sorry people are leaving tho :( but don't worry about the pages, I think we all would be happy even with just one! And I hope your real life situation gets better! Hang in there 💪🏻

rukan kawayama

Thank you 🥺💖 I hope after tomorrow i won’t have to worry about anything other than my art 😩

Vilinda

I'm still here and I wait in anticipation for what comes next!

Sandra

I'm still here! I was away 2 weeks last month (& recovering 1 week after) so my personal engagement may have been down. & school started up again last month so some ppl may have had financial reasons to stop. Or if they're not in school, there's always inflation too (prices for everything going up, while our paychecks don't...)

Jamie Giessen

I can totally understand that too. At the end of the day, you need to take care of you as your #1 priority. I'll be staying. I need to see how everything plays out until the end.

Im still here. I've been with seki since tapas and I believe webtoon. Im unable to read most of it for some reason but I still enjoy it. Don't let it bring you down that people left , you'll get new people soon. It takes time and effort to make a comic and you are doing amazing. Keep up at it dear author ! Love you

Katy Olly

Aw Rukan I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling that way, but a lot of us are still here! I still love Seki and it’s one of my favorite comics to follow. Over the past year, I have stepped away from engaging in social media almost completely, including making comments on posts (I’m so sorry for that!) It’s been more of a personal mental health issue on my side, and nothing to do with you or Seki. I have kept my subscription and will be here as long as you are so please don’t feel too sad. I’ll try to catch up soon. If it takes longer to finish the comic, I’m absolutely okay with that. Please don’t give up on Seki! We’re all rooting for you and him! Wishing you well and hopefully some comfort. I was really happy to read all the other support too! I like this community very much. Thanks all and much love ❤️

I've been your patreon for 6 years if my memories is right. I love your story and your art. I love that your are accessible for us to talk and chat, I love the proximity that you have with your reader.🥰 I understand that it can be difficult to stay motivate when subscriber unpledge or when their is less interactions with your post. But sometimes subscriber need to take financial décision that are not link to your work at all but their situation. I personally had to down seize the number of patreon that I support because of that. And I feel bad for it but life happen and yeah... And I'ts not because there less interactions that we are not enjoying your post. I foud that à lot of reader are introverts and like post but dont comment often. We love your work in our heart, we just are less vocal about it. I really hope my message is understandable in the way I wanted it to be because english not my first language and writing not so easy haha. So take care of yourself, put less presure on yourself and keep Joy in what you do. Oh and i'm really exited for that chapter too. But i'm à really patient personne, take all the time you need❤️

Zack Bowden

I love your comic, even if I may not read it or interact all that often (that's entirely a me thing, and an ADHD problem, haha) and if anything, I'd give you more money if I could; but being broke is no fun, lol :P The story is really interesting and engaging, and your art style is great (plus, I have also been enjoying your Hazbin posts on Bsky, too 😁), and literally the only reason that I've ever dropped anybody on Patreon is because of financial reasons, and would love to keep all of them if money wasn't an object 🥺

Hey, I really hope this doesn’t come across as harsh, because it’s truly not meant that way. I just wanted to share some honest thoughts as someone who really, genuinely loves your comic and cares about seeing it succeed. I believe the main reason a lot of people have been unpledging isn’t because they’ve lost interest in the comic (if anything, the opposite, we are invested!), but because of the lack of consistent updates. For me personally, as a college student, money is tight, and I have to be intentional with where it goes. When the pledge tier prices went up to 7.50, it felt like we were getting less content for more money. Things like the bonus comic updates and sketch previews slowed down, and the main story updates haven’t always been consistent. So sometimes I’d spend money for the month and only get a couple pages, which left me feeling like I wasn’t getting the full value of what I paid for. Because of that, I’ve ended up waiting until updates are released before re-pledging, since I don’t want to risk going a whole month without pages after I’ve already paid. I know that’s probably what a lot of others are doing too. It’s not that we’re disinterested, it’s just that we’re trying to make sure our support better aligns with the content we’re receiving. People still care a lot about your work, it’s just about timing and trust in consistent updates. I absolutely understand that life happens, and yours especially has had some really difficult challenges lately. You deserve breaks and rest, no question. But at the same time, as paying supporters, it’s fair for us to expect content in return for our pledges. If you need to step back for a while, that’s completely okay, but it also means some patrons might step back too until you’re ready to come back strong. That doesn’t mean they don’t care, it means they’re waiting because they do. I also want to say that I can only imagine how hard it must be doing this comic mostly on your own. That’s such a huge undertaking, and I admire your dedication so much. Maybe one idea to take pressure off yourself could be to bring in a little extra help, a team, or even some passionate patrons who’d be willing to help with parts of the process. You already have your editor’s chat, which is amazing, but maybe expanding that into more hands-on support could lighten the load? I resubscribed just so I could leave this comment, because it felt important to say. Not out of criticism, but out of genuine care. I love this story, I love these characters, and I want to keep seeing them grow. Please don’t lose faith in yourself or your comic, it really does mean a lot to people! Even if I can’t pledge all the time, I’ll always be here cheering you on whenever I can. :)

not harsh, completely fair and true D: i didn't raise the 5$ tier tho :') i think you were pledged thru the iPhone app and they have started taking a fee.. its awful... i was struggling so much last year with the weekly updates bc it was such a tight schedule like if i missed one day of work everything collapse but i think i did really well the spring with the monthly updates.. the only problem was that i also worked on so many commissions at the same time bc i really needed the money.. so by May i had done 30 comic pages and like 12 + commissions and with everything going on in my personal life i was so burnt out... it took me ages to jut clean up the chapter and then i was overwhelmed with all the prep for this chapter D: i finally feel like i got my spark back and now i have basically everything prepped for the rest of this chapter and the next D: if i dont have any more outside disasters happen i just wanna be able to focus on my art and not have to worry about everything all the time TAT thank you for this comment and your support <3

gehrminator

obviously all of us commenting are here and with you 100%, maybe it's just been bad timing for people generally and that's resulted in less engagement? my life is chaos atm so I'm not up-to-date or engaging with anything as I'd like to

I've been reading Manga for years now, BL is by far my favorite. Your Manga is one of my favorites. There's so many plot twists, I'm always quick to read when there's an update. You have many fans out here waiting to see this one through so please, please continue for my sanity, lol. We're invested! 🥰

From one person who feels like being drowned by life happenings to to another: *hug* I had to reduce the amount I spend on patreon & art recently, due to financial issues, but yours is among those I won‘t give up on. Seki & Co are giving me too much brightness in my days to stop supporting you.
