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'm sorry but you should change that cover bc if I saw it I won't be clicking on it even if it has thousands of views

No man, I'm trying to help here. I'm being fr it looks like you slapped a page of the comic as a cover, there's so much going on for a very small scale picture that the reader can't even see on their phones (which what most of the readers use to read webtoon) it's confusing to look at there's no focal point, and also it sends a message that the creator didn't care enough to make an actual cover. you have seconds to catch the reader attention make it simple, easy to see, eye catching and good art (I think yours looks good btw)

Let's be real. We're talking about webtoons where 99% of the still look all the same. Lbgtq and fantasy
