Define "above average story", if you will.

above-average
adjective
higher or better than the usual amount or level

I mean. there's probably a better way to word that question, a way that doesn't come off so snobbish.

"Above average" is very subjective. What I find above average might not be to your above average ;/

if you can just enjoy the story I've been told my comic is "quite a ride"
Talesfromswipecity1

the art style is changing slightly soon...

Okaaaay, let's go with recommendations in a random order~

Goblins of Razard - "A young man flees his older brother who wishes him dead. He is intercepted and defeated by goblins and then sold to a mysterious rogue with a strange magical power...". So far, a really interesting fantasy story.

Suihira1 - "Legend has it that somewhere on this miserable, ocean-less desert planet, the goddess of water, Akia, had created "Suihira," the city of water. If you prove yourself devoted to Akia, she will lead you there, where you can have all the water you can drink...or so the myth goes. Truth is, the people of the desert know better. They know Akia abandoned humanity centuries ago. Wahida isn't convinced." Again, a really interesting fantasy story, with nicely created characters.

Cosmos Song1 - "Cosmos Song is a Fantasy-Romance comic about a bubbly young sorceress named Roxy from an island village known as Pyll'ar. Little does Roxy know that her life is about to take an unexpected turn when a mysterious traveler arrives at the village one afternoon. Were they fated to meet or is there a much more sinister explanation for the eccentric young man's sudden arrival? Read along to find out!" Love characters here and world setting ♥

Numb - "Levi and Sue attempt to meet again after a long pause in their friendship. However Levi ends up in an accident that has something else behind it than just careless street crossing. Old strains are being brought up and something sinister is lurking around." This one is quite mysterious, but also very interesting, and I can't wait to see how the story goes in the future.

Echo - "Echo is a mute young woman who wants to search for her father, who disapeared a long time ago. She lives in the kingdom of Taranis and in the main castle of the kingdom as the child of a great warrior. But a war is about to begin..." Interesting fantasy story with lovely characters.

Sunward - "Helian is a brave new world where everything is possible. A group of young misfits try to find their place in this land torn apart by a vicious struggle between the ghosts of its past and an ever-waning future." Lots of action, great humour and likable characters c:

Back to Eden - "Everyone is a villain in the future and our hero Abel stands out like a sore thumb. He’s a gullible kind hearted fool who is an easy prey for everyone else. Then suddenly, bad news hits humanity. Angels declare that they are going to delete all humans after one year unless they meet a certain condition. What will Abel do?" I never click on comics so fast when seeing a new update as with this one. The story is great, mixing really dark parts with really heart-warming one.

Magic Advisor2 - "Lizzy Vinter helps people who have supernatural problems, but there is one catch, she has no real life experience… When a self-proclaimed "super villain" in pink frilly dresses shows up, Lizzy's life becomes even more complicated." A fantasy/comedy story, I like the humour here ( : reminds me of DC comics a bit, but in its own, unique way.

And also, you can check my series, 6,751. It's a fantasy story about a thief, who got caught after running away from a crime scene, and starts working for a famous inventor to escape punishment.

Rascals has been thought to develope an interesting story.
https://tapastic.com/series/Rascals2

Incipit:
Jack is a tattoo artist and Marv is a piercer; together they own a small tattoo shop called “Doughty Tattoo Rascals”.
Their quiet and cheerful days come to an end when a gang of sly people decides to take away from them an ancient artifact they are keeping… could they be art traffickers?
Its possible… however, some legends talk about a secret practice that cures illness and instills special abilities by deviating the energetic fluxes within the human body through the use of needles and pigments.

I've been told several times that my story is out of the ordinary and people have been very enthusiastic about the plot and character interaction and development. You can judge for yourself, if you wish. It's called The Green-Eyed Sniper2.

Quick synopsis: Sekhmet, a wanted war criminal, goes AWOL and hides in enemy territory. She then falls in love with Shanti, a nurse already engaged to another woman. Shanti is also secretly an assassin working for an organization that hunts down untouchable and/or very dangerous criminals like Sekhmet. As Sekhmet ends up on Shanti's hit list, a dangerous and emotionally painful confrontation ensues.

@igneriss Oh ohh ooohhhh thank you very much for recommending my series (I'm super happy you're still enjoying it! blush )

I also have few stories I'd like to point out!
Beast Bait1 - Even though the art isn't strongest point for beast bait, you can see the effort in panel and page setting. I'm telling this because I was not so keen to read this comic for that reason but once I got over it I found myself loving this comic way more than I imagined. It's honesty one of my favourites in here.

Plot: Beast Bait is a supernatural adventure comic in English and Spanish following the exploits of Manny Marcado – bearer of an ancient curse that causes otherworldly creatures to be drawn to him – and FBI agent Katherine Vanski, assigned to keep Manny out of trouble. These are the stories of her spectacular failure to do so.

Give it a change! There's much potential in this story and these characters.

Also, if you don't mind waiting for a bit longer for updates The Inheritors1 has very interesting setting and the story is just about to set off. Also some stellar art!

Plot: Life in New James is never the same again after a monster appears in the city.

Haha you're welcome ♥ and I was re-reading your series' description when copying it here, found this:
" (...) and something sinister is lurking around".
and was like, 'NIKITA???' ; D

Ah I don't mean to offend but I'll apologize in advance. The title still feels a little subjective to me. I mean all comic stories are interesting otherwise why would the creators make it in the first place? It all falls down to every individual's taste. What I find interesting might not be interesting to you. For example I totally love drama, sobby stories but I'm not a fan of senseless sex/violence and BL stories (no offense).

So I totally suggest searching your own reading list based on the genres you prefer. Who knows, you might find a gem that no one knows about.

Anyway, I apologize once again that's just my own opinion so I'm gonna crawl back in my hole now. Have a nice day!

Honestly, it's going to depend on your tastes. Specifically what you want to see in a webcomic. Something you feel isn't represented enough in mainstream media would be a place to start I think.

You're welcome~ Well, it meets "interesting story" and "interesting characters" criteria, so I had to c;
