I am mostly a stereotypical man with mostly stereotypical male tastes, so how did a slice of life comic about a teenage girl's high school life once become my favorite story on WEBTOON? And how did this story go to hell? Dive into the world of Odd Girl Out (Girl's world) by morangji and see how the best writing transcends its target audience, crossing into other demographics. See how part one of this story did just that. Then, see how it takes only ONE bad element, ONE choice of poor focus, to RUIN your entire story, as it did in Odd Girl Out! Finally, see how you can avoid this mistake in your writing!
Carl Sagan said in his immortal Cosmos series that "the Gates of Heaven and Hell are adjacent and unmarked." Make sure you're astute enough to not go through the wrong gate in your writing. Odd Girl Out serves as an excellent case study.
