I wanted to approach it the same way webcomics/manga are. You can read it online but also if you like it enough you can buy physical copies of the work. I do suppose if you are with specific publishing companies it could complicate having your work online.

Webnovels to physical publishing?

Am curious if anyone had taken their webnovels to traditional publishing or self-publishing. Please let me know what that was like and if you chose to keep your webnovel up afterward!

I finally got my novel edited, what's the best option for publishing?

I've heard ingram isn't too bad for self-publishing

How many words before you publish?

I feel like I'm constantly going back to edit old chapters as I gain new insight further forward haha And thank you so much!! The art process has been quite a journey!

How many words before you publish?

I'm just under 60k words for my webnovel (the first third's been edited). Still making my way through... was wondering how much backlog authors would prepare before they finally start publishing it (wip front cover!) [image]

How long should a slow-burn romance take?

I'm not a fan of slow burns in general, I usually give up within 50 eps if nothing's interesting has happened

The 27 Chapter Method

I think these formulas are good as a framework but you don't have to follow it as a hard rule. It also depends on the person -- some might find this restricting and others need that restriction to concentrate the story properly and make it flow.

Light Novel Feedback (Magical Girl Rift)

Reviews | Feedback

The writing is fine, but may be a little bland. It hits the usual tropes (don't know if this is on purpose or not) with saaving a child from getting hit by a car. There's a lot more telling and not showing. It's not very exciting?

Any creator have ink enabled on their work? post your link here!

Oh wow, this is exciting! It's an action manga style webcomic about grimm fairy tale themed wizards. The protagonist is the princess of the country who just ran away from her assassination [image]

Illustrations in novels?

I definitely love illustrations in novels! I want to make a fully illustrated webnovel~~

Would you qualify this as a comic or not?

I think that's a very unique approach and def can be called a webcomic!

Advice from experienced writers - Fears

write what YOU want! I won't lie, gaining readers is difficult for tapas novels so you gotta be your own biggest fan. You might as well do it by writing something you enjoy! On the bright side, tapas readers are polite when they do comment!

Any of you make chapter covers/ special art for your comic? Share it here!

After promoting and being on this platform for a while I realized mostly for me and maybe others that most of the readers you will acquire on tapas are other authors, who by the way have to focus on promoting their series as well

Chapter covers are def a fun way of going all out very once in a while [image]

The ridiculous standards webtoon has set for creators

Art | Comics

I think it's why I actually would love to be able to have my work under Hivecomics! The way their comics are structure is for page by page updates rather than whole chapters or x number of panels. It's not the same kind of support, but I'm really enamoured by their community.

The ridiculous standards webtoon has set for creators

Art | Comics

It's a lot more difficult when you're a paid creator. There are expectations and deadlines you have to meet. The upsides to being an original is the advertisement, the pay and some support, but from what I've learned from anonymous original webtoon artists.... it's hella stressful and honestly kinda…

so far I haven't heard anything too bad for the authors promoting there. I did promote a couple of times and gained some readers and no one review bombed me (yet)

I think because of this, you occasionally get disgruntled people on webtoons subreddit who are annoyed at when people promote their own work (you're allowed to on the weekends) when I guess they just wanna talk about the webtoons they're interested in (I think?)

Jun 10, '22

the issue is the way tapas advertises on the front page, you get no option to filter the comic genres you don't want, heck I sometimes get direct notification on a new romance comic I truly wish tapas and webtoon had better search filters, and the ability for readers to tag work under 'reading' a…

The ridiculous standards webtoon has set for creators

Art | Comics

I think the issue is that weekly serialized comics and even manga are worked on a full team of artists. A lot of casual readers may not realize this and honestly don't fully understand the amount of work that goes in. Webtoon is also notorious for its super demanding audience.

Just out of curiosity, is this your original artwork?

I think it's why I don't see a lot of merit in the sub4sub types, as you are subbing just to inflate numbers and not because they are genuine fans and want to interact with your work. I think people underestimate that most of the time, it can take years to build any kind of fanbase. I've heard t…

Dont mind this dont mind this

Off Topic

It took me a moment to realize what you were talking about - Kotone did say they were being picky about who they want as a writer. It sucks to be ghosted but I'm not sure why you need to warn people away from Kotone.

Please Advise me

OK so I took a glance at your novel, I note that English isn't your first language. The story does feel very clunky and is less show and more tell. It'll be a little difficult to engage with immediately.

there's lots of promotional threads where you can share your works with other people. You can join discord communities for writers and talk to each other about your works and make writer friends! An attractive novel cover always helps too There are also other platforms you can put your writing i…

Please help fellow writers ;-;

I did try and push on the next chapter. It still had the same overly wordy issue that I was struggling with. Like the sudden lore dump of Dischians in the middle of an action scene. The most important part could still be communicated without slowing the pace e.g. "A Drischian?" "No, this one's too…
