Mongie launched the comic on the Korean platform WEBTOON in 2016. The comic ended its third "season" in September 2022, after which Mongie announced that she will no longer update the comic on WEBTOON due to numerous reasons involving the WEBTOON platform, including claims of lack of marketing on the platform and pay disparities. The comic will return in fall 2025, though Mongie has not yet announced a new platform.
Rocketship Entertainment is releasing the comic in English, and it released the fourth volume in July 2024. Rocketship Entertainment describes the story:
She's young, single and about to achieve her dream of creating incredible video games. But then life throws her a one-two punch: a popular streamer gives her first game a scathing review.Even worse, she finds out that same troublesome critic is now her new neighbor! A funny, sexy, and all-too-real story about gaming, memes, and social anxiety.
