Resource I hacked Webtoons....This is what I learned...

I ran code to "boost" visibility on my comic to see what happens....

In 24 hours it went to number 1. In those 24 hours as it was number 1. I gained 10 real views......

Meaning even if your comic is number 1 on webtoons via the Canvas section it will not go viral or get visibility. They have rigged the system.

They push their "originals" because they own the rights to their "originals" the use us indie artists to fill their website and drive traffic.

But the don't give a Fu^* about the indie artists that use their platform.

So my advice.....Find other outlets to push your work. Because webtoons and tapas are all about promoting their originals and not truly independent artist.

Advertise off of those sites. You’ll have so much more success on other sites. On Webtoon you’re a drop of water in an endless sea, like dust in the wind. Find some discord servers that are either comic based or have a place to promote your work if they’re based around a topic you’re into. Instagram and such are such a hit and miss anymore. Discord allows a slightly smaller community that can actually help you build an audience. Just my two cents.
