well yeah, they're rare but not really weird

MAG ISA has gotten comments along the lines of "this is so unique"... Im not sure though. I don't consume much fiction nowadays.

AngHell Dela Blackpill so far has gotten comments about how they like the villainess (Akala) better than the protagonist (Claudita). Oh well... bad girls and boys get more love :laughing:

A reader named Jerel wrote this.
"This is such a strange comic. Looking at Baul makes me cringe. The premise is understandable but a very odd take on the succubus genre. The language and the interactions are spot-on for what I'd imagine would happen between characters like these if they existed. The world lore, as strange as it is, makes sense. That line about a threesome with Mom was a great touch. I'm a little bit scared at myself that I'm actually interested in where this story goes...."

For Apparent Secrets, lots of comments come in to support the roommates (thank you! :heart_02:), and lots of hate for the villains/antagonists. I've had a few requests for the roommates to get a huge house together. Some comments are spicy or spoiler-y, and I appreciate anyone willing to take the time to leave feedback on each chapter.

In first chapter 90% of the comments are like:" Is that dude Evil? he looks evil. I think this whole operation is a little evil. Lol the future of amazon be like:" Which is roughly the intended response. Whenever I get feedback from friends who read the comic Qamar is usually the favorite which makes sense because they usually get the best of my writing (but also I think their general demeanor appeals to people).

I did a bit of a horror mini-chapter in redwaters which was uploaded around christmas in which 2 guys get their necks snapped. One of which happened on actual chrismas, to which FS Arabolez said "It was an Awesome christmas gift!!".

I get plenty of comments on the weird swears and expressions Rahat uses, saying "the future is so wacky lol" ...when it's just stuff that I say. I'm just a silly wacky guy ig.

fans are spoiling the series? how?

Later chapters reveal some of the secrets going on in the background. :blush:

After reading it, my introverted, book enthusiast friend told me she resonated with my character PARIS-
Which you just gotta read to find out why it’s WILD to admit that
(It does make sense a little later on…)

Honestly can't think of them off the top of my head, and I can't bring myself to find them, I've gotten so many interesting comments over the years. A lot of really nice ones that would make you feel shy, good guesses about where the story is going, guesstimations on why certain characters are the way they are based on what they've talked about and flashbacks.

Some of the more interesting ones came from a discussion I got on my comic a few years ago on the Webcomics Garden server, I regret signing up for it so soon since you can only do it so many times. Another cool one was Comic Tea Party, a discontinued group that picked comics to talk about as a sort of review/open discussion. Unfortunately I can no longer access the archive to retrieve my entry.

this is a fun kind of comment to receive, to me. it shows people are invested

lol, it could even be something someone you know said. my editors commentary isn't in the comments directly XD

This comment was tough, but it was good to know people were getting invested in the character:

Spoiler warning

"Oof...talk about a mental breakdown. Poor Alicia...she's been through hell and holds on to so much. She must know her mother's OD wasn't really her fault...

Right?"

A comment from CEWashbrun


The first kiss!!! Desperate and hungry...damn that had my eyes pop out.

I feel so bad for Kattar. His mom didn't want him to know his father, kept him sheltered like he was her own personal little project that couldn't go wrong, couldn't have the potential to be anything like his father. Maybe he was a jerk? Or maybe he wasn't and Mrs Moon is just too possessive of her own son to allow his father to ever...

GASP!

Does Kat's dad even know he exists?!?!?!?!?! 🤯:scream:

Another comment from CEWashburn lol


"Cream cheese is LIFE!! I eat it on almost everything, sometimes on its own. It's a problem, really."


This makes sense in context

and this is the chapter it was commented under

this comment was from Hostilefren:

"I'm totally screaming if there's a snake in the bathroom. I'm probably also going to be running away for good measure XD"

Just people telling me stories that relate to the book from their own lives. I once wrote a scene where clearly the characters were in the Stonewall in NYC in the 1960's (a historic gay bar where riots caused the modern queer rights movement). The characters were introducing their new friend to the other drag queens there to initiate him into the circle of friends, and the friend was under age. An old gay commented on this, telling an engaging story of his own time at Stonewall during that time period. I read his story open mouthed. He said what was in the book was so accurate. It reminded him if old times and he was nostalgic. He was like, "ah, under age queens! There were always under age queens!" The character was based on homeless youths who did frequent the Stonewall due to its proximity to a park where they could relatively safely sleep at night. There were indeed many under age people in there. His story delighted me. Best comment I ever received in the 15 years that my work has been online. This was for my book Audrey Hepburn's Pearls, about drag queen and transgender culture in the 1960's and 1990's in NYC.

Yeah but in universe her grey eyes mark her ability to kill hundreds of grim, so it's very important.

Some studies have shown that, on a global scale, grey eyes are actually the 2nd rarest eye color, green being the most rare.

rare isn't the same thing as weird, I already acknowledge that they were rare.
