Changing up the scenery, when I was checking over my written drafts and working out what panels need doing I realised it was a lot of back and forth between two locations, so decided to rewrite a scene so it's a bit less of that going on. The catch when your two characters that work in separate shops and that's when they mainly see each other, you end up with too many scenes based in said shops. Got a few more outdoor interactions now.
Completely trashing the original story I had for my characters. Originally it was a more dramatic story and I wrote it in high school so it was....bad lol. I also got rid of the original main character entirely.
I switched over to a slice of life and am much happier with it now.
For Frostpeak West, the biggest change that I thought was for the best was making Bertie the adopted son of Mr. Blueberry.
Originally, Mr. Blueberry had a young son named Jet, which appears in the protype series Brother Butterfly1. Jet was removed. There was also early concepts where Mr. Blueberry is the one who fosters Claus.
Surprisingly the one change I made for my story is having the story take place in another world, initially my main character, Nina, was supposed to be kept in her home and having a ghost friend was the thing that motivated her to run away from home and travel the world. But I soon realized she's a ten year old kid roaming in the modern day world, the two doesn't mix well so instead I have it take place in another world where kids could travel the world without adult supervision. I am happy about that change, it gave me the creative freedom I needed.
My original script had Baul as a normal demon (succubi), but I thought the build-up to the climax of the story would be so much better if she was different. So redid her character as extremely powerful (beyond what most people would comprehend) to make that a nonissue of the story. Her being as strong as she is does not drive the story, the relationship of Baul and Gavin drives the story. And added some new dynamics to her and her twin.
Honestly the best change I've made in The Adventures of Zovhara Ashfrost is making Zov'ha run away into the wilderness after the Nightflame Festival.
Originally she was supposed to stay and join her friends in the natural hot spring pool. She was supposed to be humiliated by certain members of Aeroz, and she would have been taken back for questioning.
But it turned out that Marana betrayed her and she ran away, after which the village was invaded by raiders.
I like this change because it opened up a whole new story line for Zov'ha with new characters, places and discoveries.
There's a character I presented in Chapter 5 which was supposed to be the antagonist of the next set of chapters. But the way a conceptualized the character and his philosophy didn't make sense for the conflict.
So I decided to make a completely different character to fulfil the role (This decision was made while I was in the middle of making Chapter 5 itself!!).
To keep it short, now there's a new ally for the main cast. And Chapters 6 to 8 ended up setting a lot of important plot points thanks to the new character I made.
Ooh, I love this question. 
The earliest incarnation of Apparent Secrets was about a woman whose drawings accidentally came to life to cause havoc for her. After significant tweaking, genre change, and a good, long think, I figured, "what if the people who came to her apartment were real?" That changed the entire trajectory of the story, and significant re-writes later, it became what it is today. 
I couldn't be happier with the direction the web novel has taken, as it's opened up so many more possibilities than its earliest concepts. 
My biggest change was to make the story longer.
I was going to end the story very short, but after getting feedback that I needed to delve deeper into my main character's backstory, I decided to make the story longer.
And it gave me more room for angst! I greatly enjoy drawing and writing angst.
Not gonna lie I feel I did lose a lot of readers after the story became more serious, but my soul is very happy and am having a ton of fun haha.
There are a few things I'm happy I changed that I remember off the top of my head. Putting them under a spoiler due to them being spoilers, and heavy content. (Don't read the full post if you're sensitive to discussions of suicide, death and medical... stuff. Also if you're actually subscribed to the comic, and you don't want to be spoiled.)
This feels more practical. While the guy who caught him is a dumbass, he isn't THAT stupid. Also he should canonically be wary of this character already since they have a history of attempting suicide, and already lives with a bit of trauma relating to it. Also the new response feels more productive, it fleshes out the characters better, they also bounce off eachother more.
Both characters end up knowing there is a small window before the cancer gets more difficult to cure, and the characters living together makes for more realistic drama.
The last 4 chapters of my comic will be focusing on the suicidal MC learning self-love and to basically just live with their grief and trauma. I thought death philosophy would fit well in this part of the story, so I've changed little bits of character dialogue and interaction throughout these chapters, and I feel pretty good about it. Feels fitting for these characters to get more healthy mentally through this type of open discussion, it can also bring up nuanced emotions between the two, which... I love nuance so that's a win for me. Lol
Thank you for the thread! Changes are inevitable things, and I'll share mine about Eigria: Lume which underwent quite much!
Atreus was not Cenric's cousin in the early concept. He is just an aristocrat's son (or probably minister, definitely not a general's). His father was not the King's younger brother, just someone not important. I'm glad I changed his family's relationship way closer to the royalty, because they have so much impact in the story and the relationship between Atreus and Cenric is more reasonable this way.
For anyone curious:
There were a lot of characters I initially imagined as being unsympathetic losers, who now have some of the most heartwrenching storylines in the comic. I'm glad I changed my mind on that!
To go slower and do not hurry things. My novel gained more depth and I enjoy it much more, slowly getting to the climax. Relationships between characters deepened and readers enjoy it more as well.
I made comics before The current one on Tapas, and I'm glad that I left them behind for the comic I'm continuing; "Mukhtar".
Most of my stories back then is about heroes who already have super powers and came from noble family but right now, I am making a story of a boy living in hard conditions, an underdog, flawed, who doesn't know that he came from a different tribe, never know he was adopted, have no super powers, did not came from a rich and royal family and not even a chosen one. His goal is about being a great man, but what kind? A man who will show the best of what humanity can offer in terms of good deeds, and noble cause for the people of Araby, but danger is everywhere and he will need allies, and supporters to fulfill his role.
Slight spoiler alert, but originally the reason why Howard, my novel's main character, is a cat is because he had an ex-wife who got mad at him for cheating. That hypothetical ex-wife knew magic and turned our poor protagonist into a talking, walking cat.
My problem with that is that it felt like I could not go anywhere else with that plot. I tossed that idea out since I developed an even bigger idea which contains realm-jumping and other-wordly beings (which feels more fun in my eyes than an affair).
