Restarting over again,?

[Blueberr8]

have you ever noticed a mistake in your early episodes where it could greatly impact your story later on? If yes, did you delete your series and started all over again?

[surenlicious]

I didn't delete them, I rewrote them. My lore is constantly being improved and fleshed out better, and sometimes my earlier writing just no longer adds up to the whole, so I just tinker on them until they do. I actually just rewrote my entire novel and now I can update in peace again haha.

Just delete the episode and reupload it? No need to overreact.

[Blueberr8]

what if you wrote the wrong magic system and a lot of reader already read it? could be problematic but idk

[zamneas]

I don't know if this is how it works with comics, but you can edit novels, and you have the option of giving a notification to the subscribers that's you've changed something.

You can’t do that on Tapas, you have to edit over. The chapters will always be in the same order.

[domisotto]

In the next chapter where it does matter, add an author note with a brief recap. When you are posting an unfinished draft, you always run the risk of that, so you can’t just keep deleting and rebooting the story

thank you very much, I wrote a confusing magic system that will have a huge impact on my story if I don't change it but it already has a lot of views, thanks.

I'm not sure if you know who Bob Ross is. But whenever he made a "mistake" on a painting during one of his painting shows, he'd make it into a happy little trees. Unless you feel the need to rewrite your series, find a way to make your mistake into a "happy little tree" or something that works

[domisotto]

And everyone stans Bob Ross. He is ultimate in self love

[therosesword]

This is why I never post anything until it's complete and then just schedule the episodes out. I can't imagine the gut punch that must be. So sorry.

At one point I actually realised I messed up the timeline (the years didn't add up).
It would have been too difficult to change it afterwards, so I sat down and figured out how to "fix" it - I added a twist to the character's backstory, so that those extra 2 years made sense. This kind of changed the plot, but it gave me an idea that later became the most important plot point of the story.

So before thinking about restarting, you should really try to think about ways you could "make the mistake canon"! It might give you great new ideas.

(However, I can relate, I would loooove to redo at least the first chapter, because at that time I did not know what I was doing and there are so many things I would do differently today. But yeah, I posted the first chapter like 3 pages a time, so it's not like I'd have to replace only one update...:') So I guess I'll have to live with he original version. )

me some of my old art really doesn't work with my art now and yeah i have caught mistakes so what i planned is as i keep working on my new pages i will slowly work on redoing older chapters, soon i intend to change out chapter 1 as i added new pages too

Yes. In my case it was a story where I couldn't continue posting it in the old place that it was in anyway, so I just wiped it and started over, trying out a different format. It was such an old project that I lost steam for it, however--because...reposting the same thing but in a different way twice is brutal. You grow SO MUCH in a few years that it's hard to not just redo everything.
