I found that one way to become a better storyteller for webcomics is actually to look to other mediums such as televisions, movies, etc for inspiration. For example, There's a lot of tv scripts available in PDF format that is free on the internet and can you help you develop a sense of voice, structure, etc or photography for rules of composition and how to frame your panels.
ngl as a reader I feel like Webtoon stories has become quite saturated that everyone is making the same plot over and over again. It’s kinda hard to find stories that is fresh and new to read
honestly, you gotta read the old webtoons. Most of them were super diverse. The Site is capitalizing off of romance and op Mc now since that's what popular
if youre looking for new webtoons that arent like other ones but still have an exciting plot try Hidden Experiments, its a newer one, and not fully updated yet but it has a really cool concept thats kind of mixed from different but popular webtoon topics. !!
Oh!! This is really a nice watch :) I am currently publishing my very first webtoon 'Us, over here' on Canvas! It is a short 10 episode story, I really wanted to do the best I could while realistically being able to finish it! Working on a short story first was definitely the best call for me, I felt like I improved a lot when it comes to storyboarding and overall production efficiency!
Great advise as always. I really struggled with if I should tell my fantasy adventure on Webtoon. There's almost zero romance, a cute animal protagonist and barely any humans, which I quickly realised wasn't a thing in Webcomics let alone webtoon. I am slowly growing an audience now but it's not easy to be noticed. Is it worth swapping categories occassionally? There are probably 4 genes it could fall into I just don't know which ones would be best to be found. Thanks
When swang said positive outcomes after showing omniscient readers viewpoint I burst out laughing because anyone whose read it will know that's not the case.😂
so basically: tip 1: either be romance/action or its already over (mainly romance) (for action if youre not korean youre sort of more cooked) tip 2: story has to be a rehash or copy and paste of the already oversaturated and unoriginal plots or your chances are significantly drowned tip 3: i dont see anything debilitating here just appeal to your demographic tip 4: like tip 2 follow the already oversaturated and unoriginal tropes or youre significantly more cooked tip 5: your main character cannot be flawed, make mistakes the readers wont agree with, or do something f*cked up or the readers will stop reading (like the ones commenting complaining about characters having flaws are any better) WHEN THE WHOLE POINT OF CHARACTER GROWTH IS LEARNING FROM FLAWS AND YOUR F*CKED UP ACTIONS 😭 extra tip 1: no problems here just facts extra tip 2: valid, if you dont enjoy the process you wont enjoy the outcome even if you do make it big (not saying these tips are bad im saying the reasons why they are tips for successful webtoons in the first place is sad) hope one day the demand for these copy and paste stories will dwindle and we can go back to a bit more nuance and originality in both story content and character morals
That's so true... but i feel like sometimes we should break the chain and make something unique... just because majority audience love certain genre and story.. the minority audience isn’t able to find a good webtoon and kose interest easily. That's just my personal opinion.
Okay new sub here! OMG tip #6 just saved my whole graphic novel / webtoon side story adventure series. I wasnt sure how to approach my storyline structure before and I had thought it was going well but it felt unsure if they way I introduced it would catch peoples attention. Watching this helped me take a step back and made me realize that if i flip the structure of the storyline, switch the order of the main characters then I switched the genre and sped up the time line which now leads to more back story and side adventures cresting more depth. So now, instead of a mystery action disclosure with heavy relationship drama later first. I add the mystery element in and weave it as the other main character gets added into the story. Genius! thank you, now my brain is taking off and i have to go and get this stuff down. ❤
I was watching this while designing the second character who is the protag’s (still needs a name) best friend/love interest and if anyone is interested heres generally what my story will be about so please no one steal Ok so basically its people who are training to be reapers who will go collect human souls in the border realm, but in order to learn they have to go to school. The protagonist is a perfectionist and works on multiple things and trying to get perfect grades and succeed well in extracurricular activities. He then meets the character im designing now through a school project and they grow closer together while trying to pass and become actual reapers
Sounds cool but I wouldn't share too many details..People get inspired by things and can do more than just copy. cool concept though. Post the name of your comic when done.
Hello! I'm making a webcomic blog to help people learn how the game works from a Showrunner and Producer standpoint. I could I quote you in it? What you said about the genres is very important and I would like to directly quote a professional
Omg late but i got to the highschool girls crushing on football team saga and i just imagine a bunch of highschoolers sniffing football shoes and sayin yesssssss
I genuinely think a story about a "15 years old girl working in a corporate job" would make a terrific comical story ! Joke aside, everything you said make sense but is not very encouraging for an author who wants to make something... Original I would say. To summarize, in order to maximise success chances, you have to make cookie cut stories.
i think some of the info in this video is a bit too generalized. using something that works can be helpful if your only goal is to get people to read the comic, but a story that is too derivative of other popular works can be seen as boring if it's just the same thing they already see online. i think there's some balance that needs to be met when following these guidelines
Iam starting a webtoon in about some time. It has more than 2 genres out there tbh. shall i start with action/fantasy or action/horror thriller? what do you think?
Hey, I’m trying to find a way to publish my own comic on canvas but I can’t figure out how to publish using iPad. Can anybody please help😭😭IVE BEEN STUCK FOR TOO LONG.
I was starting to be very worried about this video. Thanks for the ending disclaimer and reflection on why do people want to make a webtoon. It is too short for my liking but I appreciate its existence and it does not make it all look like a like-and-sub-grab hot tips video. This video is a little bit dangerous because there's a lot of young, impressionable people wanting to make a hit with webtoons, just like Lore Olympus and Omniscient Reader did (and are doing right now). I will start by saying that you should not make a comic because you want money or fame, you should start it because you want to do it, because you're your biggest fan and because you want to share your story with the world. There is of course a chance you will make it big with the story you love, but that will take time, effort, consistency and passion. This is very important. This video indeed shows which webtoons are popular and why, and of course, if you want to gain fame you should repeat the formula of the most successful comics: Romance or action, with established tropes, and it's even better if the content is not originally yours, but a retelling of something that already exists. That's... not really what I expected when coming here. I expected tips that talked about page distribution, readibility, consistency, how to advertise yourself or how to find a community. Of course this video is still valid and speaks truths, but this might not be what all new creators really need to start the comic of their dreams. The tips here detract from "the story I want to make" and push in favor of "the story I should be making", and I want to stress that if you do want to make a webcomic, please for the love of all, do NOT do "the story you should be making". If you do not love your work we'll have another carbon copy of what's already there, but it'll be done by one person instead of a team of at least 5 people like all those super polished korean comics do. And worst of all, if you do not love your story, you'll be miserable making it and you might even drop it down the line. We don't want that. This video also says something very important: Finding a niche. That is actually an excellent tip, do not chase the money and likes, stick to what you love, find a niche and if you're consistent and passionate enough that will grow into your own little community. It is one of the best joys of making content, you just have to be patient for it. Tldr I guess, I expected other tips from this video, but it can be useful to see if the comic you WANT to make checks the boxes of the "popular formula" or not. The information provided in this video is good and actually correct by analyzing what's popular and telling you to replicate it, but I highly encourage that you do this job out of love. Sorry for the rant, peace out, take care.
W rant, all I hear is facts. earned a sub just outta that no shade to the creator of this vid, but it pushes aspiring artists to fill the mold of all the carbon copies out there. only way to bring originality back is to break that mold. like you said it should be how TO make a webtoon now how you SHOULD make one. I thought this video would be useful tips and tricks of the creative process but no (and again no shade) its just talking points about the very antithesis of what most creators want to do: create their own unique stories

Oh, where can we find such files, they'd be really helpful even to amateur artists like me
Interesting can you provide a link

Then read :

Trust me you won't regret reading them , they are so unique and underrated ^_^

Maybe read Jackson diary! Or countdown to countdown
I bet that 14 year old girl corporate story would make an amazing comedy lol. 🤣
She is also crushing on her football team.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh!!
This is really a nice watch :)
I am currently publishing my very first webtoon 'Us, over here' on Canvas!

I'm already in love with your art style
Congrats on hitting 7K subscribers! Love the webtoon videos!
Oh my god I needed this video as I wanna start my webtoon… time to make a tea and watch!!! I find your webtoon videos so great thank you ❤
Great advise as always. I really struggled with if I should tell my fantasy adventure on Webtoon.

When swang said positive outcomes after showing omniscient readers viewpoint I burst out laughing because anyone whose read it will know that's not the case.😂
literally all the worst outcomes possible happened 😭
OMG I SEE HOOKY BOOKS IN THE BACKGROUNDDDD AHHH MY FAV
so basically:
tip 1: either be romance/action or its already over (mainly romance) (for action if youre not korean youre sort of more cooked)
tip 2: story has to be a rehash or copy and paste of the already oversaturated and unoriginal plots or your chances are significantly drowned
tip 3: i dont see anything debilitating here just appeal to your demographic
tip 4: like tip 2 follow the already oversaturated and unoriginal tropes or youre significantly more cooked
tip 5: your main character cannot be flawed, make mistakes the readers wont agree with, or do something f*cked up or the readers will stop reading (like the ones commenting complaining about characters having flaws are any better) WHEN THE WHOLE POINT OF CHARACTER GROWTH IS LEARNING FROM FLAWS AND YOUR F*CKED UP ACTIONS 😭
extra tip 1: no problems here just facts
extra tip 2: valid, if you dont enjoy the process you wont enjoy the outcome even if you do make it big
(not saying these tips are bad im saying the reasons why they are tips for successful webtoons in the first place is sad) hope one day the demand for these copy and paste stories will dwindle and we can go back to a bit more nuance and originality in both story content and character morals
Thank you for the heads up! I was actually looking for some tips the visuals like some sfx that helps to bring the viewer attentions.
11:16 The smile on my face knowing my story has a baby was huge.

ORV MENTIONNNN!!!
Do I have any hope of having at least a somewhat successful Webtoon if I’m not including any romance in it?
i think some of the info in this video is a bit too generalized. using something that works can be helpful if your only goal is to get people to read the comic, but a story that is too derivative of other popular works can be seen as boring if it's just the same thing they already see online. i think there's some balance that needs to be met when following these guidelines
Please Produce me! My webtoon Eng is waiting!
Great video IMO #7 should be #1 if it isn't your stories won't have any "heart".
Iam starting a webtoon in about some time. It has more than 2 genres out there tbh. shall i start with action/fantasy or action/horror thriller? what do you think?
idk if youve done it yet but one of them should be action. i'd say fantasy next but as long as action is one youre good
Am I the only one who just watches her lips the whole time?
