[WillowTree]

Haha remember the people on the forums make up a very small section of all the people who use the Tapas site!

Can't go wrong with action. It's what got me into comics from the jump .

[Legendofgenii]

Haha! Nothing wrong with the BL. I thought that would be above Fantasy to be honest.

@WillowTree Definitely!

[WillowTree]

I was actually expecting BL to be on top too!

[mlocik97]

Webtoon - 100% Fantasy/Supernatural/Thriller
Tapas - 100% Romance(BL/GL)/Commedy

[ExodusGuard]

I thought BL would be the highest too. I mostly read fantasy so I had to vote for that one.

[VibrantFox]

Webtoon - 100% Fantasy/Supernatural/ThrillerTapas - 100% Romance(BL/GL)/Commedy

honestly from loose observations this really does seem to be what's trending or popular, at least right now

it's not like there isn't info that's readily available to some extent, and the forums is only a small pool of creators from both sites so it's a limited data set

I chose "Drama" because that is the main ingredient that binds all story-telling, even in Fantasy / BL / Action / Horror / Romance / Others.

Relationships dynamics (or Drama) leads to confrontation (or Action) to tell a winding tale (or Fantasy / Horror / Romance) where you have a protagonist, antagonist and supporting characters.

"Drama" is the spice that binds the various flavors of story-telling. Without the spicy, the meal would be basic and boring.

Basic and boring Action.

Basic and boring Romance.

Basic and boring Fantasy.

Who ever said they loved consuming "basic and boring" everyday? Food for thought .....

P.S. Comedy is the most difficult expression of the performing arts. Timing is key. If one masters comedy, one will nail ambitious dramas and mysteries time after time.

The Few and the Brave tread the path least taken (currently Comedy | Drama | Mystery | SciFi). That involves the "heavy-lifting" where not everyone can do it.

If this was easy-peasy, everyone and their grandmother would do it.

The’ Drama’ you’re describing is an element of story-crafting for all genres of artistic expression.

This POLL is about choice of Genre as a classification in specific niche of a consumable product.
Your views are quite out of place here and somewhat insulting to those who prefer the genres you are ridiculing by stating they are all ‘boring and basic’ without drama.

No one has ever claimed that drama doesn’t exist in the story-telling aspect of any other genre.

Same! I'm making a horror manga myself, but I need to read more from other people to be honest lol I had to go to webtoon to satisfy my hunger.

From Tapas however, I'm subbed to 'Silent horror', 'Bleakville' and 'Blink once for yes'.
The last two have less than 200 subs but they're really good. Bleakville is quite dark and the art is also really good.
If you've got more horror comics/mangas in Tapas that you know of, please do share!

Good for Fantasy! It's such a diverse genre, no wonder so many people prefer it.
