Well, the World Subscription Standard Authority has place the sub benchmark at 51. This is due to be revised this coming month where punters are expecting it to be lowered by 0.08 to compensate for the world average inflation rate.

I hope this answers your question.

I see you also asked how to attract subs.
Make a good comic.

I do! Well two.... eh... 1 and a half. One's ongoing but under construction.

It's good that your preparing o3o It can be a stressful duty. It helps to create a buffer of pages before you start posting.

I'd say 40+ in a month is doing good, id be pleased with that number personally.

attracting subs is largely about letting people know your comic exists - promote, promote, promote. besides that, having a consistent posting time that people can follow helps, along with leaving your posts on cliffhangers that make people interested in what happens next - the soap opera effect.

Depend on which platform and your art level + plot tbh.

Some people thing 10 subs in a month is a lot they could ask for, some won't be satisfied even if they have 100+. Also the platform/website you are on also determine the average sub count too. Like Tapastic vs LINE Webtoon, where 50+ for a prologue is A LOT for Tapastic, it's not unusual at all for 50+ subs on Webtoon for a prologue, mainly because Webtoon has an average of x3 amount of visitor daily compared to Tapastic.

Another factor is your art skill + popularity before you start making your comic. Take Fisheye Placebo by Yuumei for example, she was already popular on DA and when she made her webcomic, it was phenomenal and naturally, an explosion in sub count. But then you have someone who, maybe have the same art skill, but have no prior fanbase, of course their sub count won't be /that/ high and their comics could often be overlooked.
