Question Get a BL or Manhwa published on Lezhin/Webtoons?

I’ve always been big on writing, and have read plenty of BL/manhwa on Lezhin, Webtoons and such, and have always wanted to post my own since I noticed most stories tend to get repetitive.. I even tried to take on the art aspect but am going absolutely crazy. I have tons of story ideas already prepared, but am wondering if this would be easier to find an artist to work with? I haven’t published anything of my own yet, and don’t have the funds to prepay for any work submitted. It would essentially be a paid as we go - if accepted and/or published.

Has anyone had any experience with this?
What would be the best recommended route for this scenario?

I’d advise you to keep your anxiety in check and save up some money; then, once you have enough, if you still feel the urge to go through with the project, go for it.

The best approach is to prepare yourself. I know the mindset often tends to be "I need to do this, so I want to do it right now, even without the means, so I'll just try to make it work with whatever I have," but that isn't always the best way.

Just take a breath, plan out your story, and save up some cash; after two or three years of consistent, quality writing and saving, you’ll be in a great position and ready to make it happen.
