Website update changes

[AWFrasier]

Yeah this is not gonna work for people with sensory issues or light sensitive eyes. My eyes are dying. Please, for the love of god, add colour somewhere and don't go with a full white site. Wattpad did the same thing and I can only use it with a user-made dark mode.

Also why I liked Tapas so much.

This isn't accessible, so please consider making a dark mode.

What was nice about the previous site was when novels were introduced, they weren't completely buried beneath the comics. Now the free ones are. It's nice to have the featured lists included to the web, but pretty much everywhere else the novels are completely buried and hidden. I know they have their own tab and all, but just purely focusing on the home page, you have to click several times to even find the free-to-read trending list. Also the endless scrolling is going to kill everyone who're not in the top 10 continuously. No one's gonna scroll that far.

Dear Creators,

I'm talking with team about your feedback now. I'll get back to you once our discussion is done.
Thank you,

It's really white, but not too bad. The uploading system still looks the same and they still have the dashboard. The layout is more Webtoonsy, as long as they don't start making the site an unnecessarily competitive mess with a rating system and limiting how many comics you can be subscribed to, or disallow mature content entirely (like what Wetoons does despite having a checkbox you can tick for explicit content. What is that even for if you're not allowed to have explicit content on their site?), I don't mind. Everything is still readable at least.

The headers for some of the collections(?) are so random: "I Regret Kissing You", "Rags to Riches", Gods and Goddesses"
They're so specific! Lmao!

I do like that they got rid of the Popular section since it was dumb to have both that and Trending. Although it would be nice if they replaced one of those random ass collection sections for a Just Updated one for free comics. Sure, sometimes less aesthetically appealing thumbnails will show up on the front page but it would still be nice to see. Overall at least it's not Webtoons, or Smackjeeves which somehow managed to become worse than Webtoons, so it's not too bad in my book.

Now if only they would open up the Mature section of the site to free-to-read comics and more non-porn mature works.

The new design is very similar to Webtoon.

Every time there is an update with the interface, it's hard to adjust at first. However, this new design does give me some worries.
Let's start first with what I like:

• For the novel, there is an option to change text font as well as spacing. (I don't remember there is this feature before)

• A series overview page for description and episode list. Before, the description is placed on the sidebar.

• A busy front page.

• The dashboard button.

What I don't like:

• The new scrolling format for both comic and novel discovery page. As people already mentioned, new series would get buried down at the bottom and there is no way people are going to scroll that far.

• No banner. Many series already have a banner. I think it's better if they can try to make it work rather than discard it. I also think that they should have a poll or something before making such a decision.

• The disappearing and appearing nav bar.

• Subscribe button hidden in the nav bar. They could have put it right next to the font changing button or the like button.

I can see that they have a reason for this new design. However, the bad points seem to outweigh the good. I do hope that the developer will listen and improves the interface.

Thank you, because I seriously hate this new layout. My literal brand new banner and donate button got eaten, and I updated them YESTERDAY. It's hard to tell whose comic you are on now.
I really liked the larger left hand side bar with the comic episodes, too. Everything feels empty and brandless. I miss the infinite scrolling, too.
So much less visually appealing. Perhaps a toggle switch for new layout/old layout?
Also please consider a way to customize what comics are recommended and show up on the front page, I am sick to death of seeing romance comics that I am uninterested in.

Next Inksgiving is going to be a massacre, huh

I might just make it a Promote-My-Commissions/Kofi-Weekend instead.

I thought I was the only one tired of them. All drawn in the same style too.

[BobbyjoeX]

me, imma make an inksgiving ad and then say "dont actually give me ink, just support me directly :/... cut out the middle man..."

[elleswoop]

Not sure if anyone said it yet, but italics are gone. Like...the words are just gone.

[Kelheor]

Ouch I wonder if they know it.

[spicy_sweets]

novel italics are gone from published chapters? This a glitch? Pls tell me it's a glitch

[byelacey]

my favourite bug of the update is that they mirrored webtoon's "author" tag, but instead, everyone in my comments section is listed as a creator, i love my team of creators

[AWFrasier]

Today, everyone is a creator. Of everything.

[vothnthorvaldson]

Haha! All the sudden, all of us are in charge of a comic studio

[deltastic]

oh no holy crap it IS just gone D: WHAT

[elleswoop]

I don't even-??? Just...why

[IndigoShirtProd]

Ugh that pissed me off. How are people supposed to know who made the comic they're reading? They rolled this out to fast without telling anybody.

@Yoon I know you and your team are discussing this but please go back to the old format at least until the new format is completely ready and you inform creators beforehand.

[ajcrwl]

oh lol i just noticed too

[mariusthered]

think all has been said i the topic, i just hope the lords and masters listen to what us the creators are saying , words to effect of the new layout sucks! progress is not always a good thing and given the choice i too would go back to the old layout.

[JackSherwin]

Some websites have a togale for more male orintanted action fantasy comics or ramance comics that might be nice
