Why does clicking on a new novel/comic bring me to the latest update instead of the first?

1.) Thanks XD

2.) I'm glad you think so! Because as much as I like streamlined content, too much of it can be just as faulty as having a HUGE outline of stuff to get through, especially for works that span across multiple episodes. I can't wait to see what you do for your series! Actually, I need to go back in and read it, because I'm pretty far behind. XD

Yeh, like idk if it'll be a good idea or not, but I want a way to tell new peeps like "hey! if the 2nd or 3rd story sounds the most interesting, go ahead and start there and don't feel obligated to crawl through 100 pages of other stuff to get there~" xD

shrugs
is it all that different from old school php webhosting where the default page was the latest page/strip???

Can't say I've experienced this.

That's not usually how webcomics work if it's the first one. You might have a bad hook because you were inexperienced with it, didn't have a hook at all or the art was bad. This works in a webcomics favor because your first impression is a reflection of the current art level, which keeps alot more casual readers it just helps just a bit more for handling those readers who care more about art than story or find an earlier chapter unbearable because of the writing but people may like the writing style later on. It may be different for you but the average non-creator is going to look at things completely different from us.

Since they don't check @ staff very often... Maybe this is something for @Yoon.

I seeee. Got a point there. Being surrounded by writers must influence my opinion on first chapters no matter the medium rip
Sneaking a peek at later chapters can sometimes help determine whether readers will continue a comic or not. Makes sense ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

[baasinsimple]

It has certainly helped me as much as I don't want to admit it.

On the web, it should take you to the first epsiode of series. We haven’t changed it for a while. I’ll double check it out. Also we don’t use @STAFF account anymore I’ll deactivate it soon!

Thank you,

We used this since Jul, 2014.. I thought we changed it to take a user to the first episode but it's only for premium series. (Sorry!) I think there is a right behavior for this because at that time many users wanted to go the last episode instead of first episode I'll discuss it with team and get back to you guys. Also this depends on title.. some titles should be read at the first but some titles are not. We can also provide an option to creators to decide the order of episodes for users. If you guys have any feedback about this, please let me know! Thank you.

I think this would be great for novel and comic creators!

Oh yes, this would be lovely

I think the author option would fix the problem

It's worth a shot, right?
