Post on every platform possible I say. I post on reddit, Instagram, webtoons, tapas, twitter. And I'm thinking of doing another website. It's always good to diversify.
I know that my story is kinda recent with it being out for less than a year or so but for me, it's kinda the opposite me in the past couple of months my views have increased from around 50 ish a month to over 100 a month. Though I think it has to be acknowledged that it depends on your story's genre, cause my story is sci-fi so it ain't as competitive as say fantasy or LGBTQ+ (like there are no premium novels for sci-fi) so you kinda have to do something that sets you apart. For example, another sci-fi novel that I love is Ex-Machina which has a detective Cyber-Punk sci-fi with an artificial intelligence setting, which differs from Iapetus Snow which is an alien invasion dystopia.
So I guess one thing that could be done is with the stories is something that helps you separate yourself without making yourself seem like a simple 'gimmick', Also patients, I know I can't really say that but if you keep working on your work people will eventually get attention of it causes like a lot of people are saying here people will read a story that'll last for a bit.
@darthmongoose Ok first thing, thank you, it really menas a lot to me seeing you say something like this.I never thoguht I would actually read something like that about my own work.
Second thing, this is me right now:
I seriously mean this, because I can assure you, I have no idea about Tapas guidelines by which they choose what to feature. I never read anything about or hear anything from other people. So yeah, everything I did was totally on my random mind and without any planning, i was just like: Make it look nice, unlike last time lol. So maye this dissapoints, but it looks like I check all those criteria by pure luck or some higher force told me what to do, because myself had no idea.
This actually makes it more hilarious.
Hahahaha! You clearly have a natural good sense for brand identity and put in plenty of work on attention to detail to turn out a polished product!
Some people just have really good instincts for it, while the rest of us it takes years to learn. 
Anyway, the point is, good job! You nailed it!
what is good- good art? rn the only art getting that distinction is the manhwa type. It's not like the comic artists getting sidelined by the trends can't attempt that but I assume there is a tonal and story vibe that gets them to chose the style they have. My slightly angular, manga/american cartoon art is what suits my story best I find.
bruh my story is sci fi and somewhat lgbt (ace, bi/pan leads) but it's not super invested on the romance subplot so I get you so much.
Oh just look up Tower of God, God of Highschool, and Noblesse. They’re the once who are first on Webtoon to get feature, and getting an anime after them. They are good examples to study from. I mean, you can have your own style; but I noticed the ones who get staff picks are the ones with anime-inspired art. Black and white comics or American-inspired comics don’t do as well if you’re looking to get featured on Webtoon.

Have you considered working with a partner? Recently I made a partnership with another creator, and it seems like it’s going well so far. :3
"please the audience"
That may be the main problem. i personally rebooted my comic, because I knew fucked up art and the story. I did it, because I felt like it deserves better, I never did it for audience. The project itself and what it means to you as it's creator is waht matters the most. You should do it because you have idea and want to tell the story. If you are really devoted to your idea, because you like it, then you hav emuch bigger chance to succeed. People are draws to artists who clearly love their characters, world etc. Not those who try to pelase everyone. Have some faith in oyur own work and don't bend it for others.
Well, good for me, I guess, lol.
But thank you, this really means a lot, wonder if it can take the comic to places in the future.
Unfortunately that is a lesson I learnt way too late, I lost so many good ideas and books in the process and just never got back to fixing- finding them. I do recommend anyone who is changing there book or comic simply for others to just NOT.
I mean, yeah, I'd agree. My personal experience has been that, despite getting very lucky with having front page features on both websites, making constant updates that are a good length and a good polish, and in genres that tend to do well on both these sites, and having a really wonderful engagement from readers, it's been very difficult to grow on either site. I get spikes of growth when a feature happens--and then a slow trickle outside of that. There's just a lot of people making webcomics right now, and readers are easily distracted. They sub a lot more often than they read, and I'm pretty sure most that I get from a feature forget I exist a week later. Would really love an improvement to my library on either site, one that encourages finishing a comic as much as they encourage subbing.
But like, I think there is a ceiling to what you can get from getting featured from staff. Like my online presence is small, and I need to get more twitter/insta/tik tok followers or I am relying completely on front page features--which isn't a position I want to be in any more. Like there comes a point where you will always have to go back to that marketing grind, like you would if you had your own site.
I just think webcomics are in a weird place right now, and I don't know what the future of these aggregate sites will be, or if they will always be creator friendly or as creator friendly as they supposedly were 5 years ago (which like I've only been here for 3 years so I don't really know from personal experience), but I mirror my comic on either site becuase I just don't want to make my own website right now, and start over from literally nothing.
It could be they want popular comics. Could be wrong, but who knows. I'm trying to build an audience. I feel you. 'd love to be picked by tapas someday.:slightsmile:
I know the feeling. I also try episode descriptions to see if it may encourage readers to like the episodes.
8 days later
I freaking swear if Tapas rebrands its name for the fourth time in a decade just because of this ima 
I'm joking, but seriously it's a possibility 
at least it'll hopefully be the same great platform though, and that is what I'll be seriously about
