Work on Let's Play[]
The inspiration for "Let's Play" came when Mongie was watching a Youtuber do a let's play of an amateur game. The streamer became frustrated and went off on-screen about the game. Mongie's mind began to wonder on what the creator of the game must be feeling if they watched this let's play, what would happen if they met in real life... She combined her thoughts and, wanting her first comic to be a romance, "Let's Play" was born! [2]
