I agree. As a reader I don't give much of a damn about most gag comics, I prefer stories with plots or character development, something thoughtful. I'm not the only one in this situation of course, far from it. Sometimes it feels a bit like we, who are on the more story-driven side of comics, are being a little forgotten.
Maybe it would be nice if we could have a "recommended by users" section on the front page, in which users could submit reading suggestions of longform comics with maybe a one-liner comment, like "Not only does this series have great art and fun character design, but it's also laughter at each page. And seriously, who could resist the charm of a skeletal minstrel?"
I would make a suggestion for this in the feedback platform but I'm out of votes :u
This wouldn't be hard to do I guess, but it would make a huge difference by making search clearer and esier for everybody! I really hope it happens, and the sooner, the better, I guess, with big announcement so everybody can update their tags accordingly. Then we can see what it changes over the time.
