I've got "8,700" subscribers on Webtoons, which I've been posting since May '16, but I only get about 1-1.5k views per update, and never get 100 likes on an update before the next one comes around.
The comments I do get are amazing, but there aren't very many of them.
I'm thinking of opening a new account and entering a reboot into the contest, with re-layed out updates according to Webtoon's suggestions, and giving it a new name. (I've been wanting to re-name it for a while now because it's called The Woken, and for a while now the term 'woke' has been getting more and more popular, and I don't want my comic mistakingly associated with controversial social issues).
My hope is that I'll be able to use the buzz surrounding the contest build a new, more engaged audience, as my sub count has been stagnant for ages now. My art style and story telling isn't very typical of Webtoons so I don't have a big hope of actually winning any money, but at least I'll have my hat in the ring.
Eventually, when the reboot catches up with my existing comic, if it's going well I can ask my regular readers to switch over to the new one. If it's stuck on a couple hundred subscribers and lost in the crowd, well, I haven't lost anything. However if I get a few thousand subs on the new one who are super engaged, then I won't worry about abandoning "8 thousand" subscribers, because I honestly don't think they're there anymore anyway.
So is this a good idea?
