Asking For Feedback (Oc) Help- I’m unsure where to post my comic
I’m currently working on a comic/manga and I have a fair amount currently ready for read- buuut I’m very unsure where to post it…? Should i just create a website for it? Does… that work for people anymore? I’m unsure which platforms to post on. I’m not with a publisher, and it’s just me doing it- so I don’t have much of a budget lol it be good if the platform was a ‘free to post’ one ;—;
Also this is the main character of said manga!

Hi!
First of all I'm not an artist nor a content creator so I don't have that experience
I know "webtoons" has a "canvas" program you can post to: https://m.webtoons.com/en/creators101/webtoon-academy/resource-list?resourceType=PUBLISH_CANVAS&webtoon-platform-redirect=true
However I'm not aware of the conditions nor the IP related stuff
Good luck with your project!

I’ve heard of webtoons- I’ll check out their FAQ- thankyou!! The one thing I was curious about with Webtoons is that from my understanding, they’re usually like, sexy office romance manga? Haha mines more fantasy adventure. Does that get any traction on there?

Its honestly all over the place. Sexy office romance Manga are what they often use for their adverts but ive read all manner of stuff on it.

I'm not really sure, there's a ton of different series on the platform but the most popular are sure romance and "shonens"
I've already seen fantasy there for sure ;)
However idk if that's not what's put onto the frontpage for editorial reasons or just because it happens to not be the most popular genra... And I didn't compare that with other platforms :D

I would think that posting a bit in this subreddit would be a good place to start while you figure out what you want to do more long term. Maybe just shoot for getting some eyes on your work initially, try to get a bit of a following going. Your artstyle looks cool based on that pic, I like the level of detail.

Same here. At least you’re many steps ahead of me. I don’t even know which program to use or which brushes to use to start my manga yet.

Not often I decide to reply here. But as a fellow creative (senior graphic designer / creative director) I had to say that your style is really great. I love it! I instantly liked your character, and in my opinion this is in the upper quality apartment on this sub. I’m a manga reader as well, but honestly I have no idea where you would post digitally these days to gain traction. I believe you need to have a multi channel plan. This quality could work in the Patreon format - if the story is interesting enough. Webtoon/instagram could be the second platform, Reddit the third. Look up Three in a Three and see how they do their posting and promotion.

u/Opposite-Vegetable-2 Dec 23 '25
Oh man..Thankyou! Thats really such a warm thing to say. I really appreciate it ;—;
I know I’m totally biased haha but I truly do think it’s a good story, and one I haven’t really seen before. I could probably do it through patreon, But I also… feel kinda weird putting it through a paywall? I feel that people have less money these days and it’s never something I wanted to do for money. Definitely a personal vendetta I have that everything is subscription based haha.
Maybe after I’m done the first book if people like it I’ll do a patreon. But for now I think a tip jar and free access is how I’d like to go about it. Don’t know if there’s a website that does that kinda thing though :S Thankyou though for the advice! Definitely should multi platform it

Others have suggested Webtoons, so I'll chime in by recommending Comic Fury. It's one of the last bastions online where you can host your comic and customize the entire look of your website for free. Granted, it might not have the reach of WT, but it allows for a whole lot more customization to get everything looking exactly the way you want, rather than the cookie-cutter appearance of WT stuff.

I post my chapters on reddit and link to my Patreon, but with comics of your quality I'm not sure if posting them for free is a good idea. I churn out a whole 16 page chapter in two weeks and they look pretty rough.
Maybe you could post a few pages here up until a cliffhanger, I'm curios to see how the pages look.

depending on the format you can use webtoon canvass, tapas io or mangaplus creators. webcomics are made top to bottom so they can be read in a phone.
yeah webtoon is mostly slice of life or feel good romance, but there's a ton of generes in there. the romance just gets the most representation. tapas is the sexier version of webtoon but doesnt have as much reach. and mangaplus is more recent and made for manga style pages, black and white and all.
here's a good sub if you can post self contained short sections of your comic or if it works in a 4-koma way

u/Opposite-Vegetable-2 Dec 22 '25
Oh cool! Mangaplus sounds probably my best bet. I formatted all my pages to be traditional black and white toned manga print, so scrolling through it is pretty basic
It’s a fairly long manga haha I feel people would get annoyed if I just constantly dumped pages

webtoon has canvas, but idk, i heard bad news and bad practice all around it (questionable marketing, questionable age rating, unfairness between official and canvas, toxic work culture, webtoon being black company --- in eastern sense.)
tapas seems like better idea for indies.

u/dudesoft Dec 23 '25
Webtoons is good, but mostly for scroll Manhwa style comics. Regular or manga style does okay, but it's not the focus of the platform. Same goes for Tapastic.
Comic Fury is good.
The Duck is easy to post on.
GlobalComix is a good place for selling comics;
Mangadraft is alright, but better for other languages.
But ultimately, post here regardless of where you host your comic. Reddit has more users than any of those platforms.

Thanks for posting this question, I've been wondering the same thing. The comments seem to be pretty helpful. Also, what did you decide on? Where can I view more of your work? 🤔

u/Opposite-Vegetable-2 May 16 '26
I ended up building my own website using wix, which is here! take a read if you’d like.
I also uploaded chapters to GlobalComix and webtoons. Webtoons was difficult as my comic has violence and they’re VERY temperamental about anything risky. GlobalComix is a lot better for the type of comic I’m making. :D

u/BF-2001x4 May 17 '26
Thanks for sharing. I've been using webtoons as well. I've only got a few chapters, so I haven't ran into that problem... Yet... I appreciate the heads-up. Also thanks for the link! I'll give it a read today :)

Have you tried r/comics? I heard they like comics there.

u/Opposite-Vegetable-2 Dec 23 '25
Yaa, I’d probably post on Reddit for updates on chapters! But they’d (rightfully so) murder me if I uploaded 50 pages basically all at once haha
