How many webcomics does everyone read?

[joe_galindez]

I tend to drop a comic if the writing's gone stale or it hasn't updated in a year. I'm also trying out new titles all the time.

[IdiotWithPencil]

from tapas 51 and from bookmarks 16 so 67 in total (not counting professional works XD)
and I need to keep it small cause I gotta work and study :'D

[punkarsenic]

holy hell... i only follow like 60ish comics??? and i recently had to cut down bc college and fatigue was leading to me not reading anything for weeeeeeks and i couldnt take the backlog

[VibrantFox]

According to the number on my reading list I'm subbed to 858 comics on tapas (not counting my own) and of those I think more than a hundred of them still update (at least according to that little smiley face that shows up sometimes). I've also got maybe 20 comics bookmarked that are outside of tapas.

I usually read daily since I don't have the busiest schedule but I do try to balance between working on my own stuff and following other peoples content.

[punkarsenic]

how does everyone keep up with so many comics!!!!!! what is happening!!!!! do you sleep????

[VibrantFox]

Well I've built up the reading list over the course of about 3 years so I'm sure I've browsed around a lot not to mention friends on site who've sent a lot of suggestions and recommendations to certain newcomers ,which is always nice to see

Also I don't sleep I take nighttime naps :'D

[lunaartemisasama]

Almost 300 between Tapas and webtoons. But probably 50 on regular basis.

[Rhombik]

It usually hovers around 100. When they offer coins for reading premiums, I go through the motions then delete them. FIGHT THE SYSTEM. (Although, imo, the premiums get too much hate. There's a reason they're at the top... Just a lot of romance stuff which isn't my cup of tea.)

PS. Kudos to Joe. You always make interesting topics.

[Ringarune]

I think I have about 60 to 70 in my library, but a lot of them don't update frequently so I'd probably say about 20 that I'm really into

[fakey]

I'm still fairly new to the site but in my first few days I started following one comic because the art and premise caught my eye. I go back to it now and then but other than that I haven't really dedicated some time to browsing the other comics here. I've had my hands full working on my own comic. I'd like to check out some others in the future just to see what kind of styles other people are doing.

[joe_galindez]

@punkarsenic So I went through my bookmarks folder and saw that only 132 out of 555 are comics that I regularly follow. The rest are new and awaiting review.

I read from the top of the list. New links get added on the bottom so keeping organized is no problem. And it's not an overwhelming number. Like @joannekwan said, few webcomics update on a weekly basis. With most of them, you pretty much have to wait three months if you want to avoid disappointment. Lackadaisy used to be one of the most infrequent updaters (it's better now) but Outsider really wins the race.

I've built up this reading list over the course of more than a decade. It started with Striptease, which I found in the university library. It is a totally safe-for-work comic and I have no idea how I stumbled upon it. (Shut up. I'd never do that. I loved that library.) There was also Sinfest, which was good for a long time and still looks good but then the author became some kind of self-hating fanatic.

As a webcomic reader, I'm far past the point where I needed to go out and search for new comics. There's so many now, and they're easy to find in an organic way. There's banner ads, guest strips, and most of all, this forum.

[beta1042]

Oh I love to read comics. I probably follow about 80 regularly.

[Poodie]

i'm reading 108 minus my 2 comics, so technically 106 comics, but only a few of them update. so less than 106.

[anitacomics]

Oh my, I follow probably ten webcomics and tend to be a binge reader, so I must look like a ghost for the authors. I'm sorry guys.

[arushiangelica]

So many. So damn many. I think that's the only thing I do all day. I don't know the exact number but I read on Tapas, Lezhin and Line Webtoon.

@anitacomics I prefer to binge too. But most of the time I finish over 100 episodes in a day and then I have to wait for the next episode.

[akemikae]

I'm following 101 over here, and about 30 or so combined on other platforms. I also follow a ton of manga ,but that's harder to keep track of. Haha. I'll usually let updates on webcomics stack up, so I can read them in binges, since it's easier to keep track of what's happening in them.

Manga update in chapters, an average webcomic is 1-4 pages, so it's harder to keep track of all that's happening. Haha.

[lolinone]

Too many. Way too many.

[joe_galindez]

I'm afraid I don't understand what those words mean.

[TheThoughtfulBoxful]

36. That's more than enough.

edit: actually, NO. That's only on tapas...

[arisu_kosuta]

Something between 60 and 70 '^^ I've got an hour lunch break at work that let me keep up with them all quite a few of them stopped updating for a while though
I find a lot of inspiration and self-motivation in reading other's work ^^
