This is mostly a topic to vent, because, despite feeling a bit of frustration, I'm actually feel more saddened by this situation... I make the premise that I never expected instant success, and neither whatsoever of a following, but what seem to bothers me is a recent decrease in engagement, I barely am finding new people interested in the series, no matter How I try to promote it here, or even my Social, now it's pretty rare to see even 1 sub, in contrast to a pair of weeks ago that there was the BOOM, with also the heihgest view count so far that was the 68 I had in he 14th of this month... I almost believe that at this point I ran out of potential readers from the start...
At one point I started to think the problem was caused by the Change of Scenery on part 6 of the Prologue, despite, To me, it made sense since the character featured was mentioned before, other said it was the pacing, but I being a general introduction of the whole situation, I couldn't cut down parts, as they were needed to introduce some key elements before the Stories themselves.
The prologue, I admit, isn't at the same level as the main story and of the Stories of the actually running series, but I can't believe it just took a single part to kill the series before it could even start properly...
Despite I would keep publish, and pay the artist to make my story into a comic, because I've been working on the writing of this series for so much time with dedication and love, and I grew fond of it... This feel a bit disheartening... And depressing as well, especially after losing in total 2-3 Subs in total (Altough, those might have come from "Sub 4 subs" topics as well)... and I fear thing would be worse due to the fact that, in order to allow the artist to have the time to draw the pages, I have to take a monthly week of hiatus, and that the weekly episodes would be shorter (8-10 Panels each), but not everything is under my control, I try my best to double check the writing, the Dialogues, the conversion between traditional to web scroll format, promotion, scheduling and even keep consistency in the plot... but it all seem worth nothing...
(I'm mostly attached to the series because it helped me during depression, that is why the thought of it failing from the start just makes me even more saddened... I may should have kept it for myself Like I did for years?! I don't know anymore...)
