At the age of 34, I remembered my dream, so I decided to create my own comic—or manga, or manhwa; call it whatever you like.

I'm going to call it a "graphic novel". Anyway, great job - it looks like a "proper" graphic novel, you've captured the quality and style perfectly.

There's not a shred of inexperience about it, so though it's your first one, it looks like you've been doing them for years.

Excellent.

    Thank you so much!!

    Knowing that someone likes it gives me the strength to keep moving forward and finish this story.

    There is still a lot of work ahead. The world has a huge amount of lore that needs to be revealed.

    I stopped drawing back in school—I don't even know why... And now, at 34, I've decided to make my dream come true. AHah, maybe it's a midlife crisis. )))))

    Well, I for one am glad that you've decided to revisit your creative side :)

    As you say, it's a pretty big project ahead of you, so take care to not "bin it" over a minor setback.

    If you get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the project, remember that a lot of people producing illustrative art (even the professional and famous) will often split their work up into Part 1, Part 2 etc - so no harm in releasing single chapters if it makes the process more manageable - and additional positive feedback at each step might carry you through the next bit.

    Anyway, if it's a midlife crisis, it's a good one :)
