#webtoon club

Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)

I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.

Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.

I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.

By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.

One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.

People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.

I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr

okay WHAT is it about longer Webtoons that inspires the character to infiltrate and overthrow the government or at least fundamentally change it

Cursed Princess Club 🌹👑💖

A bday gift to my friend back in 2023, but also congratulating the finale! This was my first Webtoon series I've ever read thanks to my friends that recommended it to me, and it was such a rollercoaster of emotions 😭💖 Thank you to iamlambcat and your team's hard work so so much for creating these loveable characters, story, and positive messages for everyone!!! I'll miss it so much, but I'm looking forward to what they plan next!!!

the crossover i made : nevermore characters in the cpc world

In this, probably, Lenore is just a normal person and she isn't cursed (no spectre yet that's why) they have no crowns as they were runaway Princesses who left their kingdoms for love. Probably lenores family cursed Anabel to literally not have a heart so that she will never love Lenore. But it didn't really work. She just has a massive hole in her chest which somehow she is surviving with magic.

Some more doodles of this crossover:-

Lenore would probably get the most along with calpernia, as they both are strong, Atletic women with their own traumas and adventures

Anabel would most likely not get along with anyone except Laverne (or maybe aurelia)and they would just judge people together

Bonus:-

With CPC ending, I guess there's no better time than now to post what I had drawn for Nell and Jolie's wedding. This was originally intended for the fourth day of @cursed-princess-club's CPC Week back in September of 2023, but I got caught up in life events and put off finishing it until today.

Thank you, Lambcat, for crafting such a beautiful story. It's been a fun run keeping up with the series, and now that it's over it feels bittersweet. I can't wait to see what other projects are to come ♥

Tumblr users who DON'T read Cursed Princess Club/CPC...

These looks fun and I am bored I will reveal the answer when the poll ends!

Regarding how you can get away with imperfect art in a comic. I wanted to submit this webcomic for referral for your followers (and you, of course, but I know you are busy).

Cursed Princess Club

The artist is inexperienced, but you get to see them grow and improve as the series progresses. Interesting, complex characters. Character development (both good AND bad which I love). Redemption for some, but doesn't hand-wave the awfulness of others.

Genuinely, sincerely, and truly (of course imo), one of the best written comics in Webtoons. The author understands narrative structure and archetypes. They passed English/Literature. It is also in printed format.

Highly recommend.

ahahah yess Cursed Princess Club is great!! I haven't completed it yet, unfortunately now it's behind Daily Pass so you can only read it online in the most inconvenient way possible, but it's worth the read for sure. I love seeing webcomic creators improve through their craft as time goes on :' ) <3

It's pretty funny. I didn't think much of it the first time because he was just recovering from his failed pursuit of Gwennie but Leopold was already catching feeling EARLY on.

Like, he even unintentionally confessed too. But Jamie didn't think much about it because Jamie's opinion of him wasn't even that high at the time.

Good for him for succeeding this time! (I was rolling in bed from joy)
