Why everyone likes your story: Tell me why!

[Iris-Grimoire]

Everyone seems to be commenting a lot in the last scene of Chapter 1! It's the one that changed the least in its many iterations, so it's kind of crazy that 16-year-old-me had the right idea, even if not the right dialogue at the time. And it's extremely fun to draw, so I'm happy

[sxxaint]

fans self oh you're flattering me and don't worry, my weird darkfluff will be returning soon, less deserving of the name fluff than ever that date scene was like my favourite thing in existence to write though

ty for your biased opinion (and let's not even talk about how awkward and adorable aderran is )

@Iris-Grimoire sometimes your crazy teenself just clocks in a moment of brilliance and you wonder how they managed it when everything else is just edgelord extraordinaire

[youu2sef]

For me, I'm not sure really, but in comments I see that persons that read my novel mention the scenes fight,

Something like that
And also I think they like the length of the episodes, without forgetting the different style of writing the story .

This what I think and thanks

People seem to like that the first few pages of Dragon Sparking were in Pixel-Art and had Norse Mythology influences. Got a fair few comments on that.

Also people seem to hate my villains, especially Erick. Which makes me happy because I work hard on making them unlikeable. By contrast, they frequently root for the main characters in their battles, so that makes me happy too.

My last few releases have gotten some good feedback on the sadder emotional content, so yay for that.

Edit: uhm...was this for Novels only? My bad if so.

@miss.monocle I love your art style and a good slice of life. Also, you have great premise

@IndigoShirtProd your art style is SO vibrant, I love it

@WolfUnderTheMoon89 I can't wait to get more into yours! I try to cycle through everyone's but yours is towards the top that I keep coming back to

@sxxaint I'm not talking to you about fluff anymore but please go on about my awkward boy (who is about to get more awkward)

@Iris-Grimoire sometimes the best ideas are happy accidents

@joannekwan I love character driven stories and that's my favorite thing to see in stories I read as well as what I put into my stories. I want my readers to almost feel like a fly on the wall when reading character interactions

[foxnflames]

Wasn't for just novels! Comics are welcome too

Not everyone likes my story LOL
Not even myself.
But some read it because

• Atmospheric description of the setting, although it can be overwhelming to some.
• Original world building with magic and power system that are not forced into the story or felt like a separate entity.
• From what I have seen they are pretty invested in and liking some characters, so probably the portrayal of the characters. I try to make them as realistic and accurate as possible.
• It is being a weird story that might have less clichés and tropes played straight; thus adds to its freshness.
• It had a nice cover (I changed the cover though, but it is still exists in episode thumbnail)

This is a review so I am not spewing bullshit (Also please support the one making the review, they do a good job for everyone)

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

it's a struggle to juggle everything!

[foxnflames]

Well you have community pick now so there's that! Congrats

[DasIstWunderblyat]

I got what?
Okay, thank you very much for telling me! ️

[Schwarze_Neko]

Some people have told me they like how my characters are really relatable and that they have good designs ^^. They've also told me they like how the plot goes at a nice pace

[foxnflames]

I love your art style and your character design! Your MC is so adorable and relatable

[Inspector_Spinda]

I haven't gotten many comments so far, but everyone seems to consider my vampire's bat form cute

[Schwarze_Neko]

Thank you! ^^

[MattRAuthor]

One of my patreons loves my villain of all things, they says he's three dimensional and that they can find themselves agreeing with him at some points, it's great

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I forgot to add my favorite parts to write.

First I love writing fight scenes, which is good, because I have a lot of them. I won't say they're ground breaking or anything, but they're very satisfying to choreograph.

Second, I love writing narration boxes. Especially in the vein of older comics from the 80s and early 90s like Wolverine and Daredevil, and similarly the Chimera Ant arc from Hunter X Hunter. There's just something satisfying about adding in an extra voice to describe something like an epic tale.
In my Dino Orphan one shot, nearly the entire story is told that way, as if it was a storybook.
I know this is something that modern readers don't really like very much, but I enjoy it even so.

And finally, Erick's dialogue. I crack up with writing it, because it's demented and silly all at the same time. He thinks he's funny, but no one else does. Good stuff. (Of course I think my readers might hate that, because Erick truly is awful.)

[Freemints30]

I gotten feed back on my artstyle, with how unique it looks, like it was a cartoon made of of a bunch of different media from paper cutouts to pencils. I also got comments liking the interactions between the kids which Im glad they did like it. I don't really get many comments. But I ones I do get so far have given me alot of warm and stuff.

[sxxaint]

i seriously don't get when people call atmosphere overwhelming, like i cannot get enough of atmosphere. I'm pretty bad at visualising stuff so just load it on me. Gimme fancy prose descriptions pls

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

I don't really know about my reader in Tapas, because honestly I'm quite disappointed. Well, I mostly got reviews and feedback from another platform (ScribbleHub). I got quite a lot viewer and active reader mostly from ScribbleHub, I also earned some money in Scribble.
Well, I'm trying to keep positive because I want to share my stories in Tapas as well!

Anyway, what mostly reader love about my story such as the way I tell the story is fun, and enjoyable (they said).

[Jenny-Toons]

From both Tapas and Webtoons alike, it's about my mixture of genres, my character development, and me mentioning Chicago. I'm a South-side kid from Chicago. I love cosmic horror romance, horror romance, folk horror, and any flowery Renaissance stuff out there. I find a way to mix that all together, and people love it.

I've had people tell me how excited they are to see someone mention Chicago, IL in a webtoon, which isn't often. They'll say "Eyyy, I know that street" or "I know that name!" and feel amazed that someone has the same experiences as them.

They also like that I introduce them to a lot of different subgenres. Several have told me how they started reading other cosmic horror because I have it in Our Universe. The romance pulls them in, but the cosmic horror makes them stay for more.

And the characters -- they jump on that. Several comments have given me deep analysis on why characters do XYZ and how they're dealing with relationships. With Butterflies in her Hair has been doing well on Webtoons with only 2 episodes, and that's because people are hooked on the motives between Priscilla and Troy. They'e trying to figure out if he ever really loved her or if she's being too lenient even though he's killed her, and there's just a lot of theories being thrown around.

Bottom line -- if I got someone to comment a lot about the motives or made them feel nostalgic, I've done well.
