Depends exactly what you ean by surpressed and what you mean by manga. Tapas' aglorithm works on numbers and engagement, it's all about the audience. Certain styles and genres are more popular, certain styles and genres aren't and so don't get pushed as much. And if your content touches on more matu…
Unfortunately it is, in most cases, counterproductive if you aim is to grow you series and climb the ranks. While we've never been given the exact algorithm, it basically works on percentages and engagement. A lot of sub4sub is only interested in the number of subs, not good engaged subs. Which is c…
I think there's kinda a problem wiith defining one or the other in that most people ae some kind of mix of both, you'll very rarely have someone who's 100% no thoughts, empty head, nothing even thought of before I write, or 100% everything plotted out and character sheets to the detail and world to …
I have the very cliche story that I started to play volleyball because of Haikyuu. While I was less inspired by and more was there with someone else playing a different sport when the volleyball coach spotted my phone charm and told me it makes it better if I know how to play, I also know anecdotall…
Given how many people hate groups of people just for being people without extra things to fear like super-powers, I'd imagine there would at least be some people who did hate them just for having powers, never mind what they did with them. If you can hate a person for something like the colour of th…
I mean that's one girl, and if she was put off as quickly and easily as you say, I'd say she wasn't worth it. Someone who won't even hear out or take a passing interest in someone else's hobbies, not worth it. Plenty more fish in the sea. As a whole, no those things will not turn off girls, as a wh…
It's a personal opinion. Some people do it some people don't. There are plenty of people who, for example, think that having a patreon at all is wrong, and hiding any content behind a paywall is wrong. You can argue that Webtoons is for younger audiences and so you shouldn't have any more mature the…
I actually feel like those covers are pretty good examples of how to clearly get across the content of the story (assuming they're not misleading) as someone who has some experience with BL. The different colours and positions quite clearly communicate a lot, if you're familiar. Although I can barel…
You either execute them well, or change your entire story. Here's the thing, originality is overrated. Stories can be as cliche and by the book as you like, if you pull it off well (and sometimes if you don't) but if you're just trying to be original and avoid tropes and cliches you're going to en…
I'm a lot like you in this in that I generally get told my dialogue is very strong, although I'm constantly stumbling when trying to communicate myself out loud, and I've had a decent background in fancontent, and I absolutely agree that it can be great practice for trying to pick out what a charact…
This is such a non-argument. For a start art style has nothing to do with diversity. Secondly, if you think all Japanese animation and all Japanese comics have the same style and always has, you're just wrong. There is the typical stereotypical shounen style, but if you think that's all anime/manga …
My first question here is what is "fast enough"? But beyond that I'd say it's fine advice. It's not super good or super bad. You improve by practicing. There is also nothing wrong with being consistently good at something. While it's often more interesting to watch an ambitious failure because at…
I always find it interesting that despite one of the early claims of the live adaptions being that it would be accurate to the original tale and "Mulan isn't a superhero" the animated is far more accurate to the spirit of the story. The super powers aren't the worst thing, if everyone had them, it j…
I always find this interesting how this is disucssed, it's very rarely brough up that this is the essentailly the same text different font of "I'm not like other girls". Both of them deride typically feminine qualities, while also pandering too them, by way of the character nearly always actually …
I always get frustrated when people say luck isn't involved in success in anything. I've played sports a lot and people talk about it all being down to skill. And i think webcomics and creative sucess are the same. Lots of people are having incredible work and work incredibly hard and never get anyw…
You don't have permission to use most random images from Google. There are plenty of places to find stock images you can use for free and give you full permission like Canva or Unsplash. Taking something off of Google is basically stealing someone else's work. It can get you in serious trouble. And …
If you're just doing it for fun it can be different to wanted to get a good following. If it's fun, just enjoy yourself. If you're looking to improve, I'd suggest reading a lot in English to get used to the English language's writing style and proper grammar. Read the top novels on Tapas in genres y…
Alright, I don't know what you're level of writing or if English is your first language or you're just starting out, so I don't know how gentle to be with you, but there's a lot that needs work and I'm not going to go through in detail like I would for others because there's a lot more fundemental s…
Well, that depends entirely on your character's personality. A lot of kid hero stories work because the hero has had this basically forced upon them. Things like Ben10 he has this power and he needs to do something about it., everyone else important knows and help him with this, and there's heroing …
Honestly, there's so often going to be something in any work that means something else by accident. It's just a fact of life, especailly when it comes to translations. Everything from "it's a boys name in this language but a girls name in ours" to "that's actually a slur inanother language" and you …
Ok so you haven't really said much about how much or what kind of feedback and guidance you want so let's just start from the beginning of the Covenant Chronicles and work through the first chapter and I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you've not given any guidance in what you want. Firstly, yo…
If you want people to read your work leave a link.
Watch it and see. If you think it's just spy stuff you clearly haven't watched or read it. And part of being a good creator is analysing these hings. If you think it's spy stuff, I wonder if you've even read the title, it's sort of all there. But, not, it's not just spy stuff. It's fantastic voice…
Firstly, not everyone has one. It's a fact. Some people have a constant running monologue, some don't, that has nothing to do with anything else. Secondly, I would never judge someone to not have anything going on inside their head. You're not inside their head. Unless you're with them twenty-fo…
The idea is partly from the most unconcious pressure Tapas exerts from the dashboard, putting the number of subcribers as as goal in front of you front and center like it's important. The most important. It's the idea a lot of, admitedly new, creators have that things will move a lot quicker than re…
My sleep schedule is a bit complicated because I work shifts that can go from day to night in a matter of days, so I often find myself having to push through when tired to try and swap. And it's a bit of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, a bit like writing after some alcohol, I find myself a lot mo…
It stil feels kind of overly wordy and overcomplcated. Personally I'd d something more like: After his sudden death, Jon found himself in the body of Prince Zephyr, who had been murdered on the day he was to take the throne of Ravenwing (your tenses feel weird in this senstence). Now, Jon must bea…
i think you've overcomplicated bits of it. This is awkward and doesn't sound natural. It made a lot more sense of enthroned, or something like crowned king or take the throne of Ravenwing. Or something like Prince Zephyr of Ravenwing sounds more natural. This, again, is very awkward. I unde…
I have nothing to add but to support all this, I was just trying out something very similar. It's a pretty good summary and really just a few rewrites to polish and focus it is all it really needs.
Show it. It's that simple. If your character is the type of character who has an impulse and follows it, then show it, because that is character. Show your character thinking "oh that's cool looking" or "this'll be fun" or whatever dumb childish impulsive thought they have that shows us the characte…
