What are your favorite reader comments and questions?

[Rodimus13]

If can be from someone else's comic or novel but I'm curious.

Right now we are gearing up for a Q and A, and on webtoons we've gotten some interesting ones this week.

One about how the humans were wiped out- which we are going to do RIGHT BEFORE the Q and A- but not in full detail.

One person only just noticing in the latest update there is old blood on the walls and freaking out.

And one person asking for signs of the now gone humans- which I kinda like because it'll give us a chance to explain how the bodies were mostly cleaned up by the bots and some places we plan on visiting later.

What are some of yours and why?

[Kelheor]

There are two on which I chuckle every time.

Alas; the unholy fidget spinner.

Anyone else worried about the monster kiwis in the fog?

That they like or curious of my characters that belong in the garbage dump

It's like I own the ugliest cat in the world, feeling insecure when seeing those pretty and cute cats others have, then some people show up and say they're interested in my cat's ugliness

I dunno as much as i like the ones complimenting my character, im not going to lie when I say Im getting a genuine kick from comments that just scream "SPARKLES!"

[unknown_user]

Obviously, I like all the comments, where people point out that they like something from the new issue or info page. Also I'm glad to see when they say that they are glad to finally see the new issue and are waiting for the new ones. (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
I really haven't expected so much engagement from readers. I'm touched and happy to see it (╥﹏╥)

Also I was really surprised and glad to see an interest for info sheets. To be honest, I didn't expect that so many of readers will actually read them and ask questions.

Here are two the most smart questions, I've gotten:

First one made me seriously think how to limit S.M.A.R.T. capabilities, so this weapons wouldn't become godlike. If S.M.A.R.T. really could morph into everything, it would make all the other weapons unnecessary. But I don't want it, because I want to add a bunch of other interesting weapons in setting.
So... I've came up with the answer, how to introduce these limits, adding limitations at the level of bonds between nanoparticles. I can deduce, in which neighborhood of its primal form a weapon could change its shape, if we allow only particular limited angles and bonds lengths, and would forbid the particles to change their neighbours. As an alternative - we would allow them to change neighbours, but only from some subset (for example, we could say that a particle can bond only with neighbours, which were at two (three) "handshakes" from it at the primal form of weapon).
But while such a limitations make clear, that the weapon's shape should remain singly connected (i.e. we have topological limitations instantly), I can proof that weapon can't go outside some neighborhood of its primal shape (i.e. proof geometric limitations!), but only with diving into high math! I should at least take a limit (in math sence) at some point... 0_o Now I should think, how to get rid of too much math and make it understandable for not-math reader... It revealed to be a really fun riddle.
Sorry for the rant and all these overwhelming details... I just wanted to say that sometimes reader's comments make me go into deep and very fun reasonings! I like it.

[AmazementComics]

Well, I haven't necessarily gotten the opportunity to experience something like that, but if I did, it'd be so much fun to see people speculate on what may happen on the next episode. I would only provide hints and leave the rest up to the imagination.

Some of my favorites from our comic, Mal de Ojo:

[spadesart]

i love when readers have genuine reactions to the story and questions about lore. i have so much miscellaneous info for Both my stories and will spill literally everything if you just ask. i love hearing theories too, even if theyre not quite right i still adore reading them because im trying to jam a lot of recurring images and foreshadowing in spire and i cant tell if people are noticing it.

[dawgofdawgness]

I really like this one.

[QueenofBabyLoon]

I am proud of each and every comment I ever wrote in my life.

People ignoring my stories does nothing to me. But if someone ignored one of my comments, I believe I would be heartbroken, traumatized, betrayed and never write a comment again. Ever.

I invest more thought and time into comments than into anything else in life, really.

Ugliest cat? I always thought cats can't be ugly

[Kann]

My favorite comments so far were the ones where readers were rooting for the characters or were interested in the plot. Shows that people can become invested in my comic.

[HGohwell]

From a much older piece than on Tapas but I love comments like this in general. I think all creators long for this reaction after they've killed a character tbh.

[amortelito]

All the comments are precious!!
My top favorites are the comments that tell me that something in the comic is cute and horrible at the same time. I love putting that duality in the plot/art/characters.

I also love when they come up with conspiracy theories XD no matter how accurate or wrong. They give me ideas.

[LittleMissDevil]

I love all the comments I get! Well... not those who give helpful advice and criticism to improve myself of course. How dare you help me get better at drawing comics, ya rascals!

Joking aside... I love getting comments about the political implications of my work. I have this one reader, who really appreciates that stuff that and we sometimes trail off into discussions in the comments, which is GREAT. But I guess it comes down to honest investment in general. I just enjoy seeing my readers react in a way that shows that they care about my project.

Which is why I also quite enjoy comments, where my characters are shipped. I do that a lot as well so it's super relatable and fun to see that my readers are doing it as well.

[simplykit]

i love comments on my manga!

especially the ones that point out my mistakes

not only does it let me connect with the readers but they help me improve on my craft

A BIG THANKS to all my readers and who leave comments! your all awesome!

your all previous to me! ( not in a creepy golum kinda way...well maybe a little )

[Rhonder]

I'm a big fan of both comments that make speculations about what might happen next and ones that talk about things that the characters say or do that they like ^^ Speculation shows a certain level of involvement and is fun to reply to, and character talk shows me that my characters are actually connecting with people, which is, like, the dream~

[phinality]

I really appreciate it when readers are curious what will happen next. Though it's kind of a double-edged sword, because idk how to respond to it without spoilers or just completely dodging it

[QueenofBabyLoon]

I am just trying to prove you wrong. For all I know, you might find Kitty-Cat down there beautiful and magnificent in its own balding way!

[Darkstrong]

I laughed out loud when I got this one for page 11:
Dragon blinded the tree with his jacket.
“Stab him Summer” he screamed “stab him with his own hand!”
The flailing tree looked somewhat sad and helpless, she thought, she hesitated.
Splash!
It costed Jeagers live, but never again would she hesitate.
