I need you to help me decide

[lorphis]

So I recently "remake" my webcomic so the old version is still there. My question is do you think I should delete them or not? I can't decide

Crest of Chaos | Tapas

• yes
• no

If you want to, do what feels right to you.

I'd delete them in order to not confuse new readers

[teasidesketches]

As someone who reads your comic, I like the old pages, too, but I also can't help but make comparisons between the old version and the new one.
I personally would like you to keep them up because of all the work you put into them, but if you don't want people making those comparisons, then maybe deleting them is an option.

[lorphis]

well, I put e.g. episode 1 (old) so it won't confuse them.

recently i have been cleaning up my comic but i plan to upload the old version on an Extras series

[rmdooley]

Depends, are you redoing art or the entire story? If only redoing art, just upload the new pages over the old

If redoing the beginning entirely, maybe start the comic as a new series and keep the old as an 'extra'

[AbelDraws]

From what I've seen you're changing how the story is told, not just the art, so I'd create another series on tapas to keep the old pages there and delete them from the actual series (and upload the new pages there, so you keep the followers and all that) or I'd create another series and upload the revamped series there directly, letting the old series rest with a link to the new series at the end of each chapter or something.

Good luck <333 The art looks stunning, I'll keep an eye out for what you do

[Anithia]

Leave it there. In the future you will see it and say: "oh my this was actually good/bad"

[OttoGruenwald]

No one can decide it for you. How are you feeling motivation and satisfaction wise with your comic? The answer lies in how you truthfully feel about what you're doing.

Since it's a new story, I'd either leave those and start the new version elsewhere with a link from the old version, or, if you think your subscribed readers will be okay with it, delete the old pages, put them somewhere else in a "Crest of Chaos Alpha" comic or something and update afresh. Otherwise new readers will have to read two openings and it'll be a bit tiresome.
