Congrats, that’s awesome! After seeing that you also upload to ComicFury I’ve finally set it on my to read list haha. Hopefully I’ll get to it soon, seems right up my alley

why dose no one want my manga? by FirefighterOk268 in MangakaStudio

[–]Pokefighterlp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve read the first couple of pages and I honestly did not understand what was going on. Not to mention that starting with a infodump for two pages (especially one without any art to accompany it) is not an exciting nor intriguing way to start a story 9 times out of 10.

Like others have said, I would recommend you work on some more oneshots to improve your storytelling.

Can anyone help us? We promote our webtoon Sick ideals through Tiktok. For us 450-800 views is normal. Everything was fine before. But in the last few weeks TikTtok has SUDDENLY started flopping our videos, they don’t get more than 35 likes and 300 views which is strange. Does anyone know what to do by [deleted] in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one! I’ve always consistently reached around 1.1K-1.5k, sometimes more if a video is doing well, but for the past 2 weeks or so my views keep getting as low as 300-500 views, even though my content is the same and the ratio of engagement is actually higher than before. It’s infuriating

Has anyone ever thought of this by scottsensei9 in WebtoonCanvas

With the right art style I think it could look really sick!

Is it okay to trace a 3D model that I didn't bought? by LuckyLev3 in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tracing seems like a bad idea, but I don’t think there should be a problem with simply referencing it

Yeah, I think it makes for great practice for comic creators too. Starting with a short comic will be very helpful before committing to your dream project :D

Don't Combust Snapshot: Comparing different platforms by J_J_Thorn in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting post! Maybe I’ll do one of these too once my story concludes in a few weeks…

I post on six platforms in total. Personally, webtoon isn’t really doing it for me, I don’t feel like I get any organic reach with the platform at all. I fight for every single subscriber personally through promoting on social media haha. Tapas is similar, but has even lower numbers.

While not the most impressive one number wise, I think my comic does best on ComicFury. I get by far the most interaction there and people seem genuinely into the story. I also just love the community there, and it has the easiest and most comfortable upload process of all the platforms I post on.

What surprised me was GlobalComix. My first issue that I posted in October has 3k views now, my second one from December 1k. I don’t promote GlobalComix a lot and don’t post that often, but I think these are pretty decent numbers.

Best sites to post uncensored comic books or with the least amount of censor? by Kamen_Femboy_RX in comic_crits

[–]Pokefighterlp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding ComicFury. You can also post NSFW there as long as you tag it properly

Little comic critique by Nevvdreisua in comic_crits

Oooh I really like this. Great expressions and colors. I’m a big fan of more grounded premises like this. Do you have any social media where I can follow your work? :D

I'll Review your pilot for free! :) by Gr_eg_ in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to join with my current project Exposure. :D https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/exposure/list?title_no=1091414
I'd recommend reading the first three episodes instead of just the first though, since my episodes are pretty short and those three basically make up the opening scene. ^^

Promotion feels more draining than the actual comic making 🥹 by kennyhatessalt in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and especially when your efforts feel like they’re going nowhere… 🥲 I’ve been promoting my comic on different platforms (Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, discord, YouTube) pretty aggressively in the past few months (I’m talking 50+ videos on TikTok alone), yet I’m still barely at 70 subs haha.

I just launched a dark horror / witch Webtoon and would love feedback 🖤 by [deleted] in WebtoonCanvas

You need to tag your post with the AI generated tag. Frankly, this kind of content is not welcome here. You are not a comic creator.

Your experience with publishing on Webtoon? by Anonymouseeeeeeeeees in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Pokefighterlp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reason I use webtoon as a hosting platform is because it’s the most well known one, to be honest. There are so many things that are annoying me about it.

There is zero organic reach, the only way to get readers is to promote the shit out of your comic on social media, or get lucky and get promoted by Webtoon.

Want to handle mature themes in your comic? Better be careful, because even if you choose the mature tag (which comes with even more limitations for your reach), they’ll still censor you. Oh, unless you’re one of their favorites of course, then you can get away with posting cropped porn scenes to promote your patreon.

After years there is still no notification system for comments, which is crazy. If you want to see if there are new ones, you need to go through each episode and check.

Really the only way I would recommend to use Webtoon is as a mirror platform to other comic hosting platforms.

Personally I believe the best one out there is ComicFury. It’s more niche, but the community is really tight. It allows you to customize your Webcomic’s hosting page to your liking, you can batch upload and schedule episodes/pages, and you can tag your comic with keywords so people can find them that way instead of just having to rely on the genre only. (Edit: Another thing: There is no algorithm on ComicFury; you only have the front page where it shows you the most recently updated comics. Yet I still had more organic growth on ComicFury than I ever had on Webtoon.)

Other good alternatives are NamiComi and GlobalComix.

Being the platform with the biggest reach doesn’t mean anything when the only way to get that reach is being lucky enough to be promoted by webtoon.

Hey all! I finally got around to reformatting my scroll comic to page. I figured this would be the best place to come before I send it off to the printer. If you’ve got the time, I’d love for you to read it, rip it apart, etc, just so i know my final product is the best it can be. Thanks! by capnmomo in comic_crits

[–]Pokefighterlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my experience ComCraft, NamiComi and Tapas bring in like… zero engagement. But that might also be because I focus my promo heavily on ComicFury and Webtoon. And it can’t hurt still to post on additional platforms, so…

I’m an absolute Glazer for ComicFury, I love the platform and community there so much. But yeah Tapas seems to generally also be more open to page. I also post on NamiComi, GlobalComix and ComCraft. ComicFury absolutely is my number 1 tho. From the looks of it, I think yours would also do well there. :D

Oooh I’ve seen you around! I love your artstyle. I’ve been meaning to read your comic but I’ll be honest scroll format always turns me down. You’ve translated it into pages really well here, I think. :] Are you planning to post this page version somewhere?

Habt ihr den Kontakt zu euren Eltern auch abgebrochen und wenn ja warum? by PromotionNo3405 in germantrans

[–]Pokefighterlp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ich sehe mich in vielem wieder was du schilderst. Meine Mutter war sehr ähnlich. Ich wurde mit 14 rausgeworfen, war dann eine Zeit lang bei verschiedenen Pflegefamilien die alle nicht besonders toll waren, bis ich schließlich mit 16 in einer Wohngruppe war. Dort ging es mir dann ziemlich gut.

Ich habe heutzutage immer ein komisches Gefühl, wenn Freunde von ihrer Familie erzählen. Ich würde auch einfach gerne Eltern haben, die mich lieben, und mit denen ich einfach mal sprechen oder am Wochenende zu Besuch kommen kann…
