When making a traditional-format comic, how do episodes work?

I upload between 1-3 pages per episode depending on what’s happening in that part of the story. If there’s a page where it looks like someone is gonna die or something, I’d post that by itself as sort of a cliffhanger. If there’s a mundane conversation that lasts a few pages, I post them together. It’d be annoying to wait a whole week to find out if a character wanted eggs for breakfast or not. I’d love to post more, but that’d mean doing it every other week meaning less chances to be seen in fresh, so I’d stick with what I’m doing.

Honestly I wish Tapas and Webtoon had a grouping system for episodes. Like, you can combine them in folders such as “chapter 1” “season 1” “arc 1” etc. So instead of a comic having 1000 episodes, it has 1000 episodes split into 20 chapters. This could work for both comic formats.
