Webtoons are particularly suited for vertical storytelling which comes with its own challenges for a Creator. Here are some helpful tips on how to master pacing in your series for Discover, the self-publishing platform on Webtoon.
In this episode, Jin and Ethan go over how to pace a Webtoon:
• Story v. Storytelling
• How are Webtoons structured?
• The Hero’s Journey
• Three Act Structure
• Pacing a season
• Pacing an episode
• Paginated v. Vertical Scroll format
• Clarity
• Legibility
• Fonts

Since the Editing tips episode on Lozolz I’ve applied all the tips to my stories, and I’ve noticed a lot of success! My story Crimson Strings has them applied from the beginning while on my comic Mermaids Dagger, there is a clear distinction between before I had tips and after! How it read became better and clearer! I’ve also applied your tips of breaking my comics into seasons and all of my comics are based off that system! I’ve done that since I started thinking about webcomics and it really helps pace the story and create and underlying narrative! Thank you again for the tips! I look forward to the next video!!

@koro-sensei7884 5 жыл бұрын

Idk if this is 100 percent correct but, it needs to be .decent quality, updates weekly, good pacing, good story, uhh that’s all I know, you would need to be picked by an editor because they only look through once a month and then contact you. Somebody else might answer way better then me, sorry

@tishal.6386 4 жыл бұрын

Keep updating content consistently (once a week) with an appropriate length (about 40(+) panels) quality art and an engaging story. It may take about 40-50 updates before you get noticed if this is your first comic and you don’t have a big audience yet. OR you can be approached by an editor who enjoys your work outside of the platform an they will give you the opportunity to pitc your idea. This will make your webtoon an original from the start.

In my comic. I have about three different timelapses going on at the same time, so I make sure I diferenciate them by making the light look more realistic on one of them, another one has it's own characteristical colors and the one left states the protagonist in a different body. (I know it's kinda hard to understand, but if you read it, you'll be able to get the plot more easier *I hope* :'D ) There are many other things I'd I'd like to talk about, but they're too obvious so I'll just stop here. :3 I hope I'm helpful in some way! ❤

I still can’t decide if comics should be posted as proper pages or as per-panel. It really seems like individual panel stories exist primarily for the international (Asian) audience. For instance, Scurry has incredibly successful kickstarters, and he simply posts the full pages online. I’ve had readers complain about pages not being normal comic pages, and I’ve had people complain about them not being scrolling...so who knows?

1:34 you said comparable wrong. i wouldn't have said anything if this wasn't an official and professional publishing service. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldV_asV328Xadmw.html also, it's not particularly unique for comics to be viewed on mobile. i understand that 6:23 it's pretty much self explanatory but how these two go on explaining it is a bit messy. it's unique because comics have never been viewed this way. not because it's not physical.
