Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone!
@AmataLenna never give up! If you have people that love your work, you'll always get there eventually.
@rajillustration Thank you! Things started out by talking in the community, shyly posting on promo threads, trying to add what I knew to writing/art discussion - if I can give someone else that encouragement, I'm plenty happy <3 Good luck with your novel adaptation too!
@Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi Icons work well too! Though the banner gives the cover/icon that nice framing, it's very pleasing no matter the artstyle.
@CodeMonkeyArts Aww yeah, high five!
@sarahmassey998 Just gotta print it for my parents since they refuse to read it on the phone/laptop, first 
@purrsome Marketing at all times on the main social medias I use - Twitter, Insta, Pillowfort, and a bit of Facebook, and TopWebcomics at the start of the month. It's hard work, but even without subs, more views bring more subscribers later on since it'll appear for more people around Tapas. And as I said before, contributing to the community, since we're all here to grow together! 
Aykay, because Webtoons doesn't have a forum, people end up using Tapas Forums for both to at least talk with other webcomic creators. Not everyone can keep track of two versions to prevent any of them from falling behind on updates/marketing.
