You’re welcome! Tbh I haven’t read the raws or anything because I don’t wanna be spoiled lolol. But seeing how salty the korean readers are, bc of how they waited so long for a second season, only for it to be discontinued like that, without any other word from the author (other than the last message) and how late Maxi responded, I daresay it might’ve ended with a cliffhanger for them to be that enraged. They are so not satisfied with the artists explanations lolol. I’m not entirely sure about the whole issue, but im certain it seems bigger than that. I don’t wanna meddle anymore bc I’m not a native speaker in the first place... (=・ω・=)
For those people that are wondering if this is dropped. NO. IT IS NOT DROPPED. The author just cannot do a second season because of personal circumstances.
This is the author/s’ last message:
“Thank you to the readers who have loved <Specters> in the meantime. The scheduled <Specters> Season 2 became impossible to produce due to the personal circumstances and circumstances of the writers. We apologize to the readers who waited. In the future, please support both artists' new activities. Thank you.”
There was a ‘scheduled’ season 2 bc the author kind of said that there will be and anticipate how the MC’s grow closer in both mind and body (because some readers didn’t feel satisfied with the two’s interactions as a couple, maybe?). Until the author posted the aforementioned last message after 4 months.
This is Maxi’s message from Twitter:
“Good morning. I am Maxi, a picture writer from Specters. This is the entrance statement for the Specters serialization suspension notice. Due to personal circumstances between the authors, it was inevitable that they had to be dismissed. This has been discussed since the end of the season and there was no friction with the platform. The final decision of the work was also received relatively recently. When Justoon’s official announcement came up, I tried to upload it together, but I'm sorry for the late confirmation. I am very sorry and sorry for not being able to reciprocate the readers' love with sudden news. I'll see you in a better shape later. Thank you.”
I just used google translate but it’s still understandable. The ‘artist’ that the author mentioned may probably be the illustrator of the webtoon, Maxi.
There is still the first season completed with 60 chapters. It isnt dropped ffs. The second season cannot be dropped if there will not even be a second season to begin with.
