I have only one friend irl who is reading my series. Actually, she's also helping me from time to time with preparing margins and frames. And the last time she was helping me, she said that she really likes one of my characters. While pointing at another one. So I'm not sure if she meant it XD
I've convinced a few of my friends to read my comic, but most of them are silent readers apart from the occasional "Oh, I really liked your last page, by the way!"
I have one friend who does get excited ("HE'S CUTE!", "Those eyebrows though!!") but I don't know if that's just because she gets excited about a lot of things or that she actually does have a particular interest in them. :') I get pretty excited by them though, so that's good enough for me. B)
My friends who have read my comic, really love to Telmo because of his personality, and I have a friend who has a love-hate for my other character Hiroto. But for the main, none has said a word yet xD
My readers haven't said anything about anything anyway, I hope in the future to see that though xD
I've only shown one IRL friend my comic so far but she really likes my oc Soph and has commented on what lines of her's she likes the most so far. I have quite a few online friends tho who always make comments when the pages go up. The general consensus is that they like Howie and are EXTREMELY worried for him haha. I have one friend who always calls him"the marshmallow" which i find endearing as heck.
well, all my RL guy fans are obsessed with my OC, Laurena (in profile pic)
they've said its because of her personality and such (which is literally mine) but im pretty sure its the boobs
my RL fans with demented minds all LOVE Alice and Alucard (yes as in Wonderland girl and Hellsing cough cough Abridged preferably cough character)
because of the fact that they take blood, guts, gore, S&M, and sh*t like that to INSANE levels (puns intended)
however, my biggest RL fan (besides my boo) which is my bestie, is absolutely OBSESSED with my character Usachan (yeah yeah, I know, Ouran High School Host Club. YES. THAT Usachan, but as a human(ish) and waaaaaay sexier)
every time I see her she ALWAYS (literally. ALWAYS) asks "how's Usachan? Got any updates on him? Got any artworks made of him?" etc etc
she's even in denial of her obsession with him o.O
A few years ago when I first started being interested in comics, I lived four hours away from my best friend and the separation actually helped because I felt disconnected enough to share a lot of my stories and characters with her. It was the first time I'd ever really shown anyone my art or characters, and she was the best. She basically became obsessed with a platonic couple in the story and would send me fanart and playlists and headcanons and all that stuff. She made me a "Lucky and Colette" appreciation calendar one year for Christmas. Her love for them made me so happy and excited about my work that I've since become much more open about my creations.
Pronouns and boobs will save you 
Sekhmet likes strong and bright women, preferably older, but not that much older. My friend is not very strong and is certainly too old for Sekhmet's tastes (she's almost 30 years older than Sekhmet).
My readers have a habit of being really enamored of characters who are minor. The hapless bandits, for example, or Lady Watanabe - who is not going to turn up again until, like, 200 pages from now. o.O I guess it's a good thing they like the main cast too, but still.
I think Ephelia is an interesting main character and I enjoy reading Wingless even after those 10 seconds (and I needed longer reading your comic haha).
I think there is nothing quit as uplifting as people getting invested in your characters. I got some really positive replies from people especially regarding the two female leads in Strayer and as the readership grows people really start to analyze their actions which is also really nice.
But other times people tend to get pretty ugly. Two of the five main characters of Strayer are fat/chubby and people somehow expect that to change over the course of the story, which can be pretty disheartening. I´m glad that´s not the majority of readers though.
I'm actually the fangirl of my RL friend's character. He's such an adorable little sweetie and I can go on and on about how cute of a character he is! X w X
She did! And over the years she had cried many times whenever I talked about any AU involving any form of death (death due to old age would be number 1 on the list of tearjerkers). We've known each other for 4 years now and I made her cried last week talking about my OC's death and how she became a ghost in my current comic haha
I have one fan for Two Faced
She's inlove with one of the characters called Aracen, We even did a canon RP and she did fanarts of the characters
