Hello me, it's A, and I have 0 subscribers! I do not publish regularly, I will even admit that I published only one episode of my series, against two on another site with more work written in my native language. Most of my stories are either under construction or the screenplay is close but you have to convert it to webtoon format or the storyboards are done, and you just need to draw the final versions.
Why am I here, then? Because I wanted to try the webtoon format, which doesn't exist on the other site ... well until now. the manager has announced, there may be, that he is working to add this functionality. But I don't think that I have given up on Tapas, it could be a way of making me an international audience.
And speaking of webtoon, this is one of my concerns. Because I still have trouble assimilating the graphic and narrative codes that go with this way of shaping the media that is comics. There is also advertising, to have readers who bother me sometimes.
I am just under 100(93 so I know I'm cutting it close here). I think my biggest challenge is simply how new my series is. I put A TON of work into the art/story but it's only been 4 episodes, so it hasn't been up very long. It got a nice boost at launch but really slowed down at episode 4(I think because it no longer had the "new series" boost from the Webtoon algorithm)
I'll make sure to check out as many of these other series as I can!
You might want to edit the first sentence in your blurb. A medium is something we know about, it is a common word. Medium stone, on the other hand, is an unknown story-specific artifact. So, it would be better if the sentence reads:
A girl picks up a mysterious rock that grants her psychic abilities.
You also don’t need a comma after ‘but’. Unchecked and uncontrollable duplicate the meaning, and the words look similar, so it might be better to leave just one of them in the description to not scatter the impact of the statement.
Hi everyone! I literally started writing on Tapas and really new to this, and well posting stuff on the internet in general. I've been using it as an outlet to blow off steam working a extremely demanding job I hate. Ive been writing romance books and would love if some people would check it out. That's the link to the first chapter I posted. Edit this is a novel.

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
