Webcomic's Inspiration

Ayres Andrea, from The Comics Beat, interviewed Leeanne M. Krecic, discussing her inspirations for making the story. [29] Leeanne revealed that the concept of Let's Play was inspired by her watching a lot of YouTubers. More specifically, a video of a let's player playing an amateur fan game. The let's player was having a difficult time and shared his frustration. Leeanne stated that if the let's player and the game creator were to meet, what would happen? This gave Leeanne the idea to create a comic based on this thought. In addition, she wanted the main character to be a female gamer to promote representation as she is a female gamer herself. When Leeanne started developing her web comic on the Discover section of Webtoon, she used Twitter [30] and Tumblr to help advertise it. Later on, the comic would become featured on Webtoon.
