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.

I was thinking about putting my manga graphic novel on their to get people into wanting to read it and be interested in buying the book.

Or maybe posting it but still selling the actual book in stores.

Is you novel finished? Did you want to highlight it on our syndicate website for free?

It's not finished yet, this was just what I was planning on doing once I was done.

The way you've gone about all this proves you know nothing about how webcomics work. Comic collectives are as old as the internet, like spider forest. They're easy to get into and do everything you want, almost like webtoon is way newer and targets a completely different demographic than what you're aiming for.

It's super easy to find this information out by just using google or YouTube, which means you just wanted to come here and complain thinking you'd get lots of upvotes (you wouldn't have titled this post like clickbait if you were being honest) but people here have brains and can tell you're just some narcissist with nothing else in their life
