S3 EP 46 Preview + Hiatus Update
Added 2022-12-17 11:48:55 +0000 UTC
Hello, everyone! You might already know that the series is on hiatus on Webtoon and we'll be back when there's enough buffer (around 8 episodes or so). Aside from my health, the last 13 episodes aren't fit to be made in just a week due to their complexity, so I thought it's best just to put the series on pause rather than give my readers short episodes just to meet the weekly deadline.
Back when I mentioned that my condition became chronic, some of the readers got upset because they thought that I'd be resting for a long time till I healed before I do the comic again. However, I assure you that I'm still working on the series, only at a healthier pace. (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
Thank you for understanding. Also, a big thanks for staying as a patron! You're keeping our team operational, especially since a hiatus in Webtoon means we don't get paid. ^_^
Since the series is already ending, I think it's about time to answer what many readers have been asking-- "Will Mage & Demon Queen ever have a physical book?" To be honest, I held back from answering because I'm not confident with my work, and I believed my series will never be picked... But just recently, I was approached by a publisher saying they're interested in licensing the series! If everything works out then YES, there will be a printed book! Talks are still underway and have been extremely slow because of Webtoon, so please don't take this as an official confirmation of the book just yet. Let's hope and pray that the deal will all be set and done next year. Also, I heard that it'd take 1-2 years of work in the publishing house before a book actually gets out on the market, so we may have to wait a while... Until then, let's keep this a secret between all of us! ^_^
If this ever becomes a physical book, you can bet all the asses that I'm going to buy it.

Would a book have the uncensored versions of the pages? Make it 18+ and have explicit sexy times to bring joy to my lesbian heart ❤️

Your comic is amazing! I love it! It takes time to make art and since you’re sick please be nice to yourself! I have a chronic illness too so I understand. You’re awesome!

I would love to collect the physical copies!
plus if it gets popular enough we may get an anime, and I've always imagined what Mal and Vel's voices would be.

Never overwork yourself if they get angry because you need a break they should think and maybe notice if you don't take a break to rest the series will just abruptly stop, so take all the time you need

I don't mind waiting, I hope it does get produced because I would completely buy physical copies. Your work is hilarious and beautiful. Stay healthy. Healthy creators > content

Omg!!!!!!! I love my cameo! It's totally spot on and beautiful! Please take care of yourself and keep on going at a healthy pace. I've been reading MADQ a long time, and 1 to 2 years is worth the wait for a printed copy. Believe me, I will buy the shit out of that. 🙏 I love you soooo much! Merry Christmas!

I'm so glad you're going at a pace that works for you! I'm so excited (and sad) for the ending to my favorite webtoon!! Also a book!!! I know I'm buying that the second the pre-order opens! Good luck I hope everything works out with the publisher!

I'd rather wait and know that you're taking care of yourself and not exacerbating health issues. Take as long as you need to get the quality you feel is right without compromising your body, because unlike Malori, you've only got one and can't respawn.

Yay!!
Take your time, we can wait!! Such an epic story deserves a well rested and prepared author for it's ending, no rushing!
I'll definitely get a physical copy, as someone mentioned above, an uncensored version would be cool~ n.n
As for the plushies, does anyone know if Kuru will open more orders?
I was almost completely off-line for a couple of months because of my job and missed the pre order deadline (if anyone has second thoughts about their purchase I would gladly get them 😉).

I’d love a smutty comic also 😆 love the plushies and would love to support your creation and character as well! However yes take care of yourself! I think everyone can agree we’re all patient and love your work! Looking forward to see where all this goes! ❤️ thank you for sharing this with us!

(sorry, as one disabled artist to another, i might have a hard time standing up for my own needs, but i **fight** for anyone else who is being pressured to ignore their own)

good LORD those readers who resented you taking care of your health can go shove it!
you are wonderful and your work is legitimately great. you bring me and my friends so much joy on the regular, and I'm so excited for you to get the recognition you do genuinely deserve. thank you for all your art you give us.
(also please make the maybe-book smutty) 😍😅

If MDQ got an anime adaptation, I'd probably cry tears of joy

Now if you made a version that added uncensored nudity, including making it so that the earlier seasons include uncensored nudity (maybe even sex) that would be awesome!

The physical book version worked really well for Mongie’s “Let’s Play”, so I think it will work great for this too!! I would definitely pick up a copy (or two 👀) of it. I will also gladly wait any amount of time if that’s what you need to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy in the process. Thank you for all the work you do for us!

Hold up, people actually got upset at you for having a chronic illness, and worried more about the story than your health? Jesus...
Screw those guys, you deserve to be happy, healthy, and cared for. You're more than your work. I'm glad you're working at a healthier pace!

Holy shit. I've never considered buying a physical book for a webtoon. But I will definately pick up a copy of Mage & Demon Queen if/when it gets printed. This has been one of the most consistantly awesom series I've read in a while.
