As tapas algorythms seem to favour more frequent updates, I'm releasing all 3 of my comics 1 page per release (usually around 6 panels per page), on other sites it's also page per (weekly) release - BDSM Boys, 10 pages once a month - Vampire Prince and 15-18 +cover monthly (but on patreon only, one page release twice a week everywhere else) - Horny Hell

Initially in my comic each episode was, on average, around 4-5 panels, I was doing it in vertical format so each update was a whole scene/gag with variable length. Now I'm structuring it in pages and update one page or two at a time (with 3 to 6 panels per page).
Then I'm also organizing it in chapters, so each chapter is about 8 pages. Ideally I would like longer chapters, around 16 pages, but I can't draw that fast and don't want to spend several months in a single chapter.

Exactly 13 pages :smiley: Every single chapter :smiley: Playing with numbers is fun and could be Easter eggs sometimes :smiley:

As per page, well depends usually 6 panels or so, sometimes more sometimes less :smiley:

As a chapter (one story within an arc) it goes from 32 to 42 pages.
As an upload to tapas, it was 32 but changed it to 20 or so (so two uploads would complete a full chapter).

Too long, probably! I cap my chapters at 5,000 words maximum (and they're usually very close to that). So, for Tapas, I have to split everything in half, making an average episode somewhere between 10 and 14k characters.

I average out to get close to 20 pages. depending on the pacing it might go a little longer or shorter than that. Prologue had 28 pages while Chapter 1 only had 17 (If I made it longer I would feel like I'm just dragging it out.) While Chapter 2 is exactly 20 pages.

Once I get better and more experience my goal would be to average out 32 pages per Chapter (like an American Comics)

If each comic upload means an 'episode', then I post 6~9 pages all at a time, that's about 1/3 of a chapter.

My chapters tend to be around 27-30 pages long so I usually put five pages into one episode. That way I can publish a new episode in 7-9 days easily.

I'm writing a novel with images and I tend to be around 600 to 1.5K. It depends on the chapter! The shorter chapters I call "interludes" and have big reveals while the longer chapters push the story forward with character arcs and worldbuilding. :heartbeat:

I try to stay between 30-40 panels a week, including the title panel and the post episode world building/info panel I have.

Because I don't want to exhaust my buffer, most chapters of mine tend to be around 3-4 pages, 3 if they are more text heavy and have more footnotes explaining certain linguistic terms and such.

Take a look to see how I've structured it, if you're interested:

It's only around 1 page worth on here, which can be cut down to line 5-10 depending on the formatting I'm going for. On the webtoons version I would usually try to hit around 15+ panels which again isn't a lot but it's the most respectable amount I can send out at the weeks end.

I try for around 1k. Often my first chapter will be a little shorter as I try for a more dramatic punch with less exposition so the story will unfold. As a reader if a novel's first chapter goes on like my old aunt Betty prattling on and on I don't read more of it. It seems like too much filler.

All that said, however, I really favor a "natural" break. Sometimes if you've only got about 500 words but everything feels complete, then do that. We've all read something where we've paged ahead waiting for the point. And, we've all read something that was longer but was so well put together we didn't notice the length.

Write hard, write true.

I usually try to keep it at 5 to 7 panels an update, but it really depends on where a moment stops and starts. I wouldn't want the episode to end on something that feels like a cut off sentence, but I also want to leave the end of the page at a place where what happens next is interesting enough to get someone to come back. Sometimes I'll do more panels if I feel like it needs a bit more.
