How It Started
Pantsumania, welcome to our blog pages! You’re one of the first writers at HoneyToon.
Please tell me how you got into writing adult webtoons on HoneyToon. Was there a specific story, drama, or moment that inspired you to dive into taboo romance with cheating, in-law, and step-family dynamics?
P: Hi Alex! Honestly, I just got lucky. I was desperate to escape the 9-to-5 office grind. At some point, I’d had enough of that life and started looking for something creative. Back then, the small Honeytoon team was just starting to grow, and they needed someone with a creative spark. I immediately thought to myself, ‘Hell yeah. If it’s about creating, improvising, and researching instead of staring at a screen like a zombie — count me in!’ So yeah, my main motivator was simply not wanting to waste my life away in an office.
Top 3 Things to Avoid
- Starting your story with a massive info-dump about the world’s history and magic system.
- Making your main character absolutely perfect with no flaws.
- Ignoring the artist’s feedback. Remember, webtoons are a visual medium!

Do you remember your first written episode? What emotions did you have when you finished it, and when you saw it on the platform?
P: Oh, I do. My very first task was to script the first episode of ‘My Stepmother’s Friends’. At the time, they just wanted me to look at the images and transform them into a text format — guys basically wanted to see if I ‘got’ the vibe. It was only later that I started creating original titles and hunting for references for every single panel, but it all began with that ‘look and turn into text’ method.
My main emotion was pure anxiety. I gave it my all, but like any intern, I was terrified they’d say, ‘You did it all wrong, By-y-ye.’ But the thing is, our young team was just starting out back then, and there was no ‘right’ way to do it. We essentially built the methodology together — figuring out what to describe, which references to find, and so on. Four years ago, there was no ‘gold standard’ for scripts. In the end, since I’m still here, my description for that first MSF episode couldn’t have been that bad, lol.
What or who was your inspiration at that time and now? How do you think those influences showed in your early works?
P: I just love the process of creation itself. I also love that webtoons are becoming more mainstream and that anime isn’t seen as some ‘cringe geek thing’ like it used to be. I want to help popularise webtoons because I’ve seen firsthand how many incredible stories can be told in this format. Plus, our work brings out positive emotions, so I’m happy if someone can just come home after a long day and have a good time — iykyk, lol.
