How often to post? Weekly, biweekly, monthly

[Lollipopgirlie]

Hey hey hey!
My webcomic Black Cat has been rlly fun to make but posting weekly has felt troublesome especially with working full time and doing freelance art on the side.

Reader-wise, what seems to be more popular for traditional page style comics? my comic is Black Cat (https://tapas.io/series/Black-Cat-/info) and I've had people commenting about the small page quantities and possibly posting less often with bigger chapters.

Does biweekly or monthly seem to hurt/improve readership? I'm nervous to change my posting schedule but something has to change ig

Thank you <3

I was going weekly, but im switching to bi-weekly because my comic is made entirely by me. Its really hard work and a single page can take me a couple days, i try to have at least 15 page issues. Some of my issues are 20 plus pages

Well, I believe you should leave aside what readers want if it has been troublesome lately, latest thing you would want is to burnout.

To be honest, regardless of format readers just want to consume and quickly, they want the long chapters but they also want them quickly, but to be fair, you can't always pick the cake and the bread at the same time.

I think if you write down an announcement explaining why are you going to change the phase, then they'll understand, if not that's still on them. Do what your time and needs allow.

For me posting biweekly is working, but I post 3 pages in total, so not an entire chapter biweekly. You could also pause updates for a while to create a buffer so you don't get overwhelmed with posting
