Need feedback on my supernatural comics

Post image

Hello guys! Recently, I released 1st chapter of my comics, and soon I'll be releasing a 2nd one. And I need an overall feedback. Now there're 11 eps, they're short though

My comics is supernatural story with shapeshifter and vampire mc, and it's BL with very slow burn feelings. Setting is distopian future. Think of Ergo Proxy but with vampires and magic.

My request isn't about art in first place. It's not perfect, but most of my readers seem to like it. What I need is more feedback to answer myself a question "what actually may stop people from opening it? and what possibly can make people drop? and what should I do in order to find my readers - better cover, longer eps, change annotation, anything else?"

I will be super grateful and ready to do exchange feedback!

I read through the first chapter, I'd say it looks pretty good but the only significant rough spot for me, as a reader, wass the stretches of darkness / emptiness with continuing speech bubbles that occasionally occurs with dialogue. Perhaps its just the style of webcomics, but I find my attention drifting in a comic when dialogue without visuals goes on too long.

But over-all? I liked it. The art was effective, the characters are likeable and I was interested in seeing them develop more.

Thanks for your notes! I'll be trying to avoid long dark and texts in future. This is made from pages, and this chapter has a lot of just dark scenes... I'll do something more interesting if this happens in future, but next chapters are less dark so it must be ok.
