Should I Restart my Comic?

[feffley]

Hi!! I'm new to Tapas and Webtoon. So, I've been making comics for a minute now - all cutesy, short comics, about my two pets. When I discovered Tapas/Webtoon, I already had 20+ comics. When I first made an account, I uploaded all the comics I had already made at once, which was... stupid, I feel. I didn't stagger my uploads, and as a result, I feel like I messed up potential to draw in more views/fans by maximizing the times I was on the new/fresh section. At the moment, on Tapas I only have 199 views and 11 subscribers with 21 episodes up, and on Webtoon I have 23 episodes with 1.6k views and 41 subscribers. I feel like I should delete my current episodes and stagger post them to draw in more people, but I feel bad for my current subscribers for doing so... I'm torn. Should I just suck it up and keep uploading as is? Here's my cute lil comic, if youd like to take a look:

Based on what I can see I would only restart it if you plan to make any changes to the older ones first, like add color or something. I don't know what the work load is for you right now, but if not there's no reason to restart it if you're just re-uploading what you already have but just spreading the releases.

Personally. I’d say don’t restart it. If you can make a buffer for future updates than that would be great. If you have a great story and show you care then people will find it eventually. It does take time though and I think that’s what gets a lot of people.

I'd say - give a heads up to your readers and restart, switching between posting a new and an old strip so that your current readers will have something new to look up to as well as new ones. Your subscription numbers aren't that high for it to be too risky - have a 5 ep first upload to get new readers hooked and then keep a schedule.

Don't restart your comic. I've seen many different creators reboot their comics for superficial purposes only to get frustrated with the amount of time it takes them to remake each page and end up quitting entirely as a result.
