Hi, thank you for this thread. I'll check out your comic.
For goals, what I find most meaningful is receiving comments, especially in the later chapters, since it gives a clearer picture of what the reader liked (or didn't like) about the story and whether reader engagement is dropping off over time. Subs and likes are also nice (at 62 subs right now, and aiming to get 100 by the end of next month).

Murat, the unremarkable second son of a tribal chieftain in the highlands, lives in the shadow of his renowned elder brother Temur. No one expects much of him and he spends most of his time daydreaming.
On the eve of Temur’s wedding, when Murat is returning from a trip to the lowlands with a gift he bought for his brother, he encounters a mysterious silver-haired stranger in the forest with a face similar to his own. His travel companion says that the stranger might be the Silver Sorcerer and is uncertain whether his appearance is a good or bad omen. Later that week, Murat’s life is completely upended when soldiers from a neighboring empire invade his village.
Will Murat survive and what role will the silver-haired stranger play in all of this?
