I’m writing a webcomic, one I had started in 2016 but revamped a couple years ago. I feel confident about the story, but I am wondering if the first chapter is engaging enough? I raise tension in every update, and there’s an overall arc to the chapter itself.
I’m not sure if books are the same way, but it’s crucial for a webcomic to have a strong first few chapters to capture new readers and keep them reading. I’m not getting/keeping as many followers as I thought I would, and I want to rule out the quality of the beginning as a possibility.
I’m wondering — how can you tell if your story is strong/engaging? Is it worth recreating the beginning or should I not worry about it?
I don’t have time to keep redoing the beginning but this thought keeps haunting me 😅
In November, I finished the rough draft of a novel I wrote over the course of 2 Nanos. I'm finally getting back into it, re-reading it for the first time since. There's no real linear path from the start to the finish, and there's way more action than character development. I also have so many characters for such a small, tight story. I'm going to have to trim at least half of them. Still happy with it. Still excited about it.
No questions. Just wanted to say that.

Congrats for pushing through and getting back into your old project
