Yeah. I see where you're coming from. My main objective through joining the contest was to try to find more readers who were interested in my stuff compared to discover. I knew I wasn't going to win since my comic seems like something that isn't webtoon material (not to say my comic is bad, I'm glad you think it looks good :), it just has a different atmosphere that may not correlate well to webtoons brand).
I noticed I was getting less views and lower ratings, and I had a feeling that would ve pretty damaging in the long run, so I decided to take my comic out of the contest and go back to discover. In a shorter amount of time, more people are reading my comic and are giving it better ratings and views (I know different people, but there's a factor there imo).
It's probably for the best though since I put a lot of energy and effort to grow my comic over three years and I don't want to hinder or rush my comic for the deadlines of a comic.
Whatever floats one's boat
