"Gushing for Magical Girls" is a webmanga that is successful. Tower of God is a Korean webtoon that is successful.
The trick is to have physical versions i.e. trades up for sale and to advertise those trades on the webcomic along with any other physical merchandise. This is dependent on whether or not you have the traffic to justify such i.e. gotta spend money to make money.
Because high-end Webcomics are being treated as Manga now. Read up on the controversy of Lezhin, it's evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lezhin_Comics
I love web based content, wish more skilled authors and artists tried it out. Hell, some web based individuals/groups make far more profit than a cubicle professional. However, these distribution platforms are easily stolen from and authors easily given cash externally (patreon). After the continued success of Wild bow (web serial author), I'm surprised more web serials aren't being written and promoted. Not everything needs to be a book, comic, or video.
It seems it works out best for artists who deliver daily and without fail. They also get ranked high on the various web comics ranking lists, even if not pornographic (which includes a lot of comics).
Based painter dubs. I cannot believe the author unironically believed there was anywhere where most Korean kids were half-breeds. Unreal amount of delusion lol
A lot of Asian people have a preference for pale skin, and you will have a hard time finding soap in Korea that does not contain skin bleaching agents.
What kind of cope is this? What kind of all brown third world place do you live? White germanics and anglos are constantly tanning even in winter in special salons that will probably give them cancer eventually. They're so mortified of their own whiteness they'd rather look like wrinkled leather handbags, it's pathetic. Makes their women age like shit. >t. ghost white slav

It's quite an issue in europe to the point those products were banned in several countries but the market is still growing and fast. >A growing number of retailers are selling dangerous skin lightening creams that can “act like paint stripper”, councils have said. >The Local Government Association said the products should be avoided at all costs after recent seizures by trading standards officers. They said the highly toxic creams could increase the risk of cancer. >The association, which represents councils in England and Wales, said criminals were exploiting a boom in the skin-whitening cream market, which is predicted to almost double in the next 10 years.

Anon. You realize this coincides with the huge spike in brown Middle East immigrants to these regions correct? Whites aren't bleaching anything but their buttholes I promise
You would be shocked how old and deep that issue is, several civilizations that had written story and cities developed a prejudice against dark skin, one of the main reasons is due to how nobles had lighter skin due to working less under the sun which turned into a preference for natural lighter skin after centuries of people seeing a pattern between them.
It got more intense and racial due to europe conquering over most of the world, however it's a very ancient issue.
Arabs, East Asians and Indians have the "muh culture, it's about nobility" excuse however Nigerians absolutely don't and 75% of their woman are doing it.

The Indian caste system is so goddamn inhumane. >you come from the slightly darker blood line, you don't deserve rights!
Any comparisons of that to European nobility, which was just honorific and governmental, is insulting.
A lot of Asian people have a preference for pale skin, and you will have a hard time finding soap in Korea that does not contain skin bleaching agents.
If you are talking about the caucasian features, well that character is half-white.
If you are talking about skin-tone, a lot of east asian people are pretty pale.
>a lot of east asian people are pretty pale.
yes sure, NOW they are.

Funny how no one ever mention how whites yes including the oh so great english and germans bleach their skins all the time.
>Funny how no one ever mention how whites yes including the oh so great english and germans bleach their skins all the time.
What? That is the first I hear of this, and I spent many years in the UK. So: got a source for that?
>Why do they draw themselves as the whitest people alive?
They're not all yellow, I don't mean genetics but Asian beauty standards like makeup and shit.
You have a point with manga but most korean comics protagonists have clear asian features and most of the white looking characters are usually immigrants from USA and Germany or dye their hair which is common in their big cities.
I like how koreans are self aware of the "they are trying to look white" that happens to manga so flashbacks that show the characters as kids with the original jet black thin hair they had before dyeing it as adults is extremely common.
Hate that people do this even though I get why. Probably the biggest way to kill hype for any story-driven online comic unless it's the type where you can tell a satisfactory amount of story in just one page, which usually isn't the case. Like how much enjoyment are you getting from one page a week/month, really? Part of it is western webcomic creators feeling like they need to fully color and shade each page instead of just doing b&w or monotone and only coloring important parts or covers.In the end people are just going to put off reading it until there's a substantial amount to come back to, potentially forgetting about it entirely in the process. A page at a time really only benefits the humor-oriented ones or the so-bad-it's-good ones.
Kek, damn. I never liked the manwhas or whatever since despite often having an interesting premise in the synopsis they would have garbage pacing, nonsense dialogue, and weak panel structure, not to mention massive amounts of white space for some reason. The only ones I liked were some comedy ones since the engrish elevated the experience.
I just wish the circumstances were favorable for them to put out a more satisfactory amount of content within a reasonable timeframe so that it benefits the viewers while the creator isn't forced to work beyond their means. I'm not going to put a hard minimum like "at least 5 b&w pages a week or 5 monochrome or colored pages a month" since different people work at different speeds and tell different kinds of stories and whatever, I just know that when an update happens I'd rather it be more than 1 page and while obviously that means I'll put off the comic until more comes out, I wish the creator was in a position where their updates would get a more encouraging amount of views as they come out, which I am not contributing to in the moment they release.
Have a look at the 30s - 50s Flash Gordon strips. The weekend strips came once a week, and brought the story quite far with each installment. The drawings were really clean but they did not need colours.
Yeah some comics do the most with a minimal amount of space, like some european comics that only tell a story in 5 or 10 pages instead of 20 or so. I'm talking more about stories that are paced like a manga or an average 20-ish page comic that update a page a week or month or so. It's a nitpick but it's one of the reasons I don't get into too many webcomics unless it's 'episodic' stuff like gag comics.

We nee better art platforms in general. Everyone is stuck on twitter, which I get is where the eyes are but people will go where the breasts are posted. Here's hoping the AI web crash causes everyone to make their own website again.
>Can webcomics or platforms that host them ever be finanacially viable?
Webtoon canvas artists (not the original guys with contracts) used to make thousands of dollars per month with their "reward because you're popular" but early this year they ditched it (probably was bleeding them dry since a lot of canvas guys pulled millions of views per month) so now your only options are patreon & KS.
We are still discussing comics and things like plot density. This is just a minor tangent but still important to how Koreans depict themselves in comics. And all this without placing value on race (for a change).

Patreon exists.

The trick is being in Asia
Yeah, if you don't get found out and DMCA. Always use third party because first party shit has a paywall.
Why would you get a DMCA for a webcomic?
Because high-end Webcomics are being treated as Manga now. Read up on the controversy of Lezhin, it's evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lezhin_Comics
That wouldn't relate to a DMCA
>Now
Apparently webtoon's precursor had artists being paid $5 monthly for their work.
It is strange how quickly startups turn into sheer evil.

>kin bleaching agents.
jesus christ
imagine hating your own skin color that much
Get off your high horse. Black chicks bleach their skin all the time. Its damn near universal that lighter skin tones are preferred on women.
Funny how no one ever mention how whites yes including the oh so great english and germans bleach their skins all the time.
What kind of cope is this? What kind of all brown third world place do you live?

You have a point with manga but most korean comics protagonists have clear asian features and most of the white looking characters are usually immigrants from USA and Germany or dye their hair which is common in their big cities.
At least with women’s webtoons I notice the guys always look like K-pop idols and the women usually isekai into blonde hair blue eyed white women.
I like how koreans are self aware of the "they are trying to look white" that happens to manga so flashbacks that show the characters as kids with the original jet black thin hair they had before dyeing it as adults is extremely common.
I've actually read this comic. This shit doesn't even beat the more ridiculous dumb shit things that happen in it.
Not if you release 1 page / week like Americans

Koreans release one entire 30 pages chapter every 2 weeks and they took over most of the views.
Kek, damn.

so you want them to make manga?

A thread on Cinemaphile about any kind of media devolved into race and skin color /misc/ shit? I'm shocked.
