And, yay, just reached 80 subs.
I think my biggest problem is that I'm expecting too much too soon! I'm willing to wait, but that doesn't mean I like it! (But if you are gonna read my story, I'll pay a lot of attention to you and most likely respond to everyone, which I hope to continue!) Another problem I've run into, is signing up for more than I handle, telling people things and then quickly being overwhelmed by it all (Sometimes I'll read things that I don't 100% like, and then I'll be forcing myself to continue with it, and it ruins my push for everything, gives me everything block!
But here is my book!
Welcome to Tapas!
@NellieVP318 there is a Wattpad refugee thread, if you are looking for advice on how to best set up on Tapas & any questions about differences vs. Wattpad
not a comic but a novel (though i would love to make one of my stories into a comic). i'm at 12 subs but i'd like to hit the 25 milestone. i feel like the hardest challenge is the fact that tapas is mainly for comics, so getting a novel out is hard.
it's an adventure and slice of life playing with the theme of alternate universes.
It’s easier to get seen for novels, because you stay on top of fresh list far longer. But some genres do better than the others. It’s fairly hard to break out into big reads (250+) if you are not a werewolf romance or BL. But 25 should be doable if you update at least a few times a week and address a specific interest group within the demographics & have an anime-like cover
Challenges? I say being out there; I love what I do and want to share my work to everyone and be well known about it, but it's been slow and steady. I tell myself to not worry too much about it and that I'll get there eventually. I cherish the ones who notice though ^__^.
hello thank you for the thread, for my first series i have 75 subs and my second series has 62 subs... my goal is 100 though)
i think my challenge is connecting more with my readers, like getting more engagement.
i love to respond to comments but I feel that people mainly like and move on. I try to be consistent
but sometimes life gets in the way like it does for most of us doing this as a hobby.
I also have a challenge of gaining more readers that be on my other social medias, i'm working on being
more consistent and having work ready for public and patreon....... (sigh) its a struggle at times.
I and greatly thankful for those who have been so supportive and loving <3
Welcome on-board everyone! Maybe we all soon graduate from this thread with fond memories of under-100-ness! 
Under 100 subs here - the challenges I face are not having enough time to marketing and talking to people on this site. But with my current project, "Sam in New York," which will be a long-running series with lots of episodes which will be updated weekly, I hope to change that~!
My Current Project:
Also on Webtoon: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/sam-in-new-york/list?title_no=501948
Genres: Historical, Slice of Life, Drama, Romance (much later on, though)
Summary: On April 6, 1901, in the maternity ward of a hospital on the Lower East Side of New York City, Samuel Abramov - the one and only child of Lev and Raisa Abramov - is born.
"Sam in New York" follows Sam's life from his elementary school years to his late twenties, as he deals with his overbearing, demanding parents' desire for him to be a lawyer, his burgeoning love for the theatre, and embarks on his unceasing quest for fame, love and acceptance.
My Webtoon short story contest entry:
On Webtoon: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/finding-sam-h/list?title_no=435678
Genres: Slice of Life, Drama, Psychological, Romance
Summary: Sam Abramov's childhood dream was to become an actor. Now a 25 year old law school graduate barely making ends meet as a legal assistant, Sam has long laid to rest his dream of making it big as an actor. He is no longer sure of his future and feels increasingly anxious about his career. However, his life will soon radically change in more ways than one...!
I try not to think about all the numbers and algorithm. I believe If I make a good comic everything will eventually come together. But I am eternally grateful to those that have checked my webcomic and either subscribed, gave a like or commented. Hope you all find my comic enjoyable as well!
I have come to realize that no matter how good of an artist/writer you are, as long as you don't put much effort into marketing/promotion, building a fanbase would be REALLY tough, especially when it comes to webcomics.
Some people tend to expect frequent, high-quality updates from you, which is really difficult to deliver when you are a person who really cares a lot about the quality of your project.
Oh, it’s like that with everything, not just comics.
Edit: I decided to post previews for my potential next project on Sundays. I still need to pick a day to skip during the week. Also, kindda started low-key thinking about potential season two if another project doesn’t fly. I really do want a 100 subs project.
Currently i'm at 54 subs!
Tbh I think one of my challenges is being too embarrassed to promote my comic sometimes (LMAO) and finding a schedule that works for me...(drawing comic while doing college .......
)
Anyways! Heres my magical boy manga!
It's LGBT+, Fantasy, Action and Romance! Please check it out if ur interested~

)
