@HisNameIsMike When I started My series I was a child, now I'm 30 years old. Just now I decided to make a comic and of course, I outgrew many ideas.

What I did was to make the characters grow as well. They start being very juvenile and then their lives get more complex. This story is going to take me years, so it will be nice if young readers can grow with the characters too!

Fortunately, I didn't waste time on a "failed" comic while I was a teen and I had the time to grow up and now approach things differently starting a brand new comic. My first adventure unapologetically mocks the original idea I had, the cliches I wanted to use, and introduces my characters.

So, If you still like your story but you cringe at the clichés, etc. You can always make them a joke, or make the characters realize it and do something to improve that.

Or you could move on, but I think you can save it if you want to.
