Should I delete uploads and start over?

Hello, I'm the creator of "I'm In Love With A Magical Girl" (long title, I know). I'm currently redrawing my comic because I haven't been happy with the old art. Should I delete the old pages or replace them with new art? I have a lot of views, but when I delete pages they go away, and I don't know if that messes with Tapas' algorithm. What should I do?

Be very very careful with redrawing your comic. It's way too easy to get stuck in a never ending cycle of constantly redrawing it, because there will always come a point where you're not satisfied with your old art anymore, and eventually you have to accept that it will never be perfect.

Anyway, it would probably be better just to edit the existing pages and check the box that says to notify readers that they've been updated.

I'm in the middle of colouring my old pages, and I just update the old pages into the new ones to keep the numbering consistant.
Starting from scratch can feel refeshing, but it might screw with your readers if they have to resubscribe to a new series. Some might not bother.

I think you should stick with them your doing pretty awesome for the subs, and likes your getting for your comic.

very true, i figured it's been 2 years so why not redraw it. i've learned a lot since then. i'll try not to get stuck in a never ending cycle of hating and then redrawing lol.

and thanks yeah, i'll just replace existing pages

true, thanks for the advice

What I would do (indeed I have done it) is go back and redo each episode that you want to. When you update an existing episode you can choose to either send notifications to subscribers or not, but this way you won't have to start over with subs.
