LINE Webtoon - Opinions?

[Mharz]

I only tweet the webtoons link every once in a while aside from that, I don't promote it everywhere because I cater Tapastic more which is pretty ironic.

Tbh I think certain series just get more views than other base on people's preference. Most webcomic that are colored and well-drawn definitely get a higher sub count than the others.

Also,

It is very juvenile behaviour. Literally, I'd be surprised if those who do it are older than 14

You would be surprised. i think there is a very large amount of 13, 14 years old audience on Webtoon. I came to this conclusion after looking through a lot of people's replies on my webcomic LMFAO

Honestly it's a week I posted my comic only and I already got 132 subs haha and almost 2k views? I think it's depends if they enjoy it or not.

[TheVoidchildProject]

I don't think people are not enjoying the comic (it's now at a 160 subs with only 1.5 k views). I'm saying that I'm seeing disparities in how many views per day/week people are getting. Some of
Those number of views are astronomically different from others. views are a measurement of how much traffic is coming you're way, a lot of times before someone's even read a comic. If you have fewer views then that means that for some reason, fewer people are inclined to click and open your comic. That's what I'm trying to wrap my head around.

This could have to do with a number of things; good use of comic avatars, snowball effects, advertising etc. I'd be curious to hear what if anything people have done to promote their comic on Webtoons aside from just posting it there.

And again, I'm not at all unhappy with how my comic is doing over there. I'm really surprised and Happy to see it have such a high sub per view count and rating. ^_^

The only think we have done is post on Twitter than you can read our comic in different places (our site, here, Popcomics, and webtoons) Didn't need to do anything else., yet.

[Nio_Kasgami]

well I guess you just gotta give a lil of time but yeah if you have a crappy thumbnail peoples tend to not click on it xD

When I first started Webtoon before I found out about Tapastic, it was okay over there. It felt like a professional place to post your comics. Though, I got huge hate for bad artwork. Yes, I know but I was still improving. Yet, they kept telling me to stop posting or else change it. They dislike when I changed my artwork a bit and got crazy. Some readers were understanding and after I couldn't talk the hate anymore I quit. I did get into a huge fight with a reader and that was the end of it. She kept hating me for being a chicken and running away from her. Like...why are you bothering me? I know I seem the "innocent one" here but I know I did things like I should've ignored her comment or else listened. Etc.
Anyways, I took a break from Webtoon for months. Until I was brave enough to come back and start a new comic, though my artwork isn't good still. I'm still improving and after posting one page a week, readers would still get crazy. Though now that I have time, a lot of people say it's okay if I don't have time TO DRAW.
Wow...I just feel like things changed on Webtoon but just the little things that still bother me are still there.

I would just like to say that there are more comics that need to be shared, some comics that are very good, don't really get shared. I feel bad for them and for myself because then I think that 'oh it must be my artwork that's not good enough' or that the story sucks. It makes me rethink my story and that's how I scrap my idea for my story.

And now there's a patron system in Webtoon, which I have mix feelings. Now that they have it, creators get to let readers support them. Though would Webtoon feature creators every month now? I'm still confused about it.

oooooooooooooooh is that a proper thing now? I havent seen it, i just heard they were annoucing something on 22nd

[otometracker409er]

I think it was the app they were going to launch it on. They already launched it today.

[otometracker409er]

UGH!
Now since the update of patreon, I can't update my comics now. I can't go into my dashboard or my account.

[ahkwardkat]

I have the same problem! OnO Today is Tuesday and it's my update day. My update might have to be late unless they can get it back up.

[otometracker409er]

I'm just afraid that I have to restart the series that I had created.
A lot of comments from readers are the ones I'll miss if the uploading thing does not work, etc.

[ahkwardkat]

It's probably a short term problem, a bug.

[PotooGryphon]

Oh Wow! I'm loving the Patreon button on Webtoons.

It's on the site and app, on each episode and on the series' main page. This is great.

[scythe]

Yep, just signed up today, and have made it so patrons get early updates. A great update for the site.

[elixiadragmire]

I've not seen it on the app yet BUT maybe the uk one hasnt been updated?

[elixiadragmire]

OH! They have a pleadge support scheme! if you do well LINE will pleadge to your patreon!!!!!!

[PotooGryphon]

That is awesome! However, I don't think I'll make that sub/pageview requirement anytime soon.

[JessJackdaw]

Woah! Seriousy, Tapastic, start taking notes! D:

It lools like you need quite a few subs to start getting revenue, but it's nice that they even do it at all!

Also I've been looking at the Webtoon comments section recently. Is it just me, or have they started to become more kind to creators? I see the "too short" comment less and less, even on one page comics. Hmm, I'll have to keep checking and get a larger sample size.

[ahkwardkat]

I personally have never gotten a "too short" on mine and I used to update page by page. I noticed that the more popular comics had them all in one "update" so I adjusted it.

I've always been curious how and why so many people got those negative comments. ono
