Ahahaha smth I cant ever shut up abt. Beware this will hv too many unnecessary details since you asked for the lore.
So I had gotten into webtoons in 2020, and one of the 1st webtoons I read was citt. Citt left such a huge impact on me that I couldn't read a lot of webtoons coz they were nothing like it and so I reread it like 15 times b4 it became a daily pass too (I made my webtoon account just to heart all the eps b4 it became a dp). After that I became devastated at how I couldnt find anymore seoljung content, so I set on a mission to find anything citt related and found lots of illustrations soonkki made for ads featuring citt charas (kinda like how Miae and Cheol get featured with other charas from time to time). And then I gradually ended up on soonkki's naver blog and also Instagram. There I had seen that soonkki was planning on a new work which seemed to be set in school. I started frequenting on naver webtoon's website so that I could find out when it starts getting serialized, and got even more hopeful after seeing her cookie run comic. But citt had ended in 2017 and 2020 was ending too so I was losing hope, until on the 1st Tuesday or Wednesday after New Year (2021), I saw that aslfua had finally been serialised and had 2 free eps + 3 fastpass eps. I checked on Friday coz I hadnt estimated when the ep updates and saw that the 3rd ep was free with 3 fp again. I was happy but felt unsure on how I'll read it since wteng didnt promote citt and many other webtoons well and I was also keeping up with some other webtoons which hadnt been licensed despite it being years older. But then I saw in "See You in My 19th Life" that the main couple from "Good Day To Be a Dog" was featured, and I became hopeful that I'll finally see Seol and Jung like that too (still hvnt, except maybe for those comics Miae was checking out in ep 1 or 2 💀).
Anyways, even tho I was hesitant, I kept going through the free eps over and over again, trying to interpret what was happening for some context. I also found some translations which are lost now to keep up with the plot to some extent until it got licensed in July 2021, and I was relieved despite knowing that wteng destroys a lot of context with their translations (I know it's not worth getting annoyed over but I cant help it). But the vibe and the colour palette being cool/neutral, the feelings I got from the storytelling, made me feel like I had finally found something to keep me going from not being able to find any more citt content, so I stuck around. I didnt realise how much I ended up loving aslfua until I joined the aslfua discord server and found more fans (also many more who appreciated citt which was relieving coz I always believed I could only ever find haters 🫠)
