All of my favorite authors are posting such sad goodbyes and some are still figuring things out on where they’re gonna go and trying their best to continue and get through this. And I know that I’m just a reader but I’m so sad. The end of around a decade and a half of amazing comics and novels(though I was never a novel reader) I don’t think any of us really wanted it to come to an end but eventually this subReddit won’t even exist and people will have never heard of tapas. I’m glad that manta comics is stepping up at such a time, it’s a good business opportunity for someone to take over no 2 in the webcomic industry, and it’s probably helped so many that they can transfer over some comics to manta. But even for them there’s only so much that they can do to help. I guess up until now I just didn’t want to believe that such an amazing platform was going down, and now that I’m watching everything collapse I’m so sad. It feels like how the end of the world would be(dramatic I know lol). But in all seriousness it really feels terrible doesn’t it, it’s so cruel to me the idea they can just one day say that tapas is shutting down and there’s nothing we can do about it. In reference to life if there are any crochet or knitting lovers out there it’s like when Joann’s happened the joanapocalypse, but now it’s the tapastipocolypse.

Let us all mourn the death of a loved one and suffer because of it, for once things die they can never come back to life. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future or if anyone could ever take the spot of tapas in the industry, but I can at least try to celebrate that tapas was even ever around in the first place, dramatic I know, but I can only share such dramaticism with people who love webcomics just as much as I.

You may see me as an unrealistic person, but we must save tapas, I have been on tapas for so long maybe longer then WEBTOON even, it’s my life and soul as a person who doesn’t really have the drawing skills to make a comic myself. And right now my life and soul is shutting down (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`). It’s fine you guys I promise I won’t have a heart attack. Anyway, I’m well aware some comic/novel authors are switching platforms but some just aren’t even switching over and some can’t and that makes me sad, so many important comics with amazing plot lines are just gonna disappear like that. And so therefore I came up with my brilliant plan ✨ save tapas! Honestly, it might seem immature but I can’t move on, the idea that someday no one is even gonna know it existed or the amazing things that it has on it. It has a completely different way of running then WEBTOON and that’s what makes it great, because it has different comics then WEBTOON, because there are just some things that WEBTOON won’t do and tapas will. I honestly had never even imagined that I would outlive tapas. I wish that I myself had the ability to save it, unfortunately this world runs on money. I wish I could bring together people and make some sort of platform where everyone on tapas could go but I can’t because I don’t know how to code:<.

UNITE! ALL WHO LOVE WEBCOMICS! WE MUST CONVINCE KAKAO!

if you can we should all say something online don’t just give up, we’re more worth it then kakao thinks and thank you for reading my very childish very sad rant that I never thought I would make because tapas is shutting down.

Romance lovers can hate on me for saying this but it’s so frustrating cause i want to read something with a female mc but ive just found that over half the time it’s romance. Honestly I’ve become so wary of anything with a female main character in the title that I just don’t click on it. Like apparently manhwas just aren’t interesting enough with a female lead and no romance. Which it’s just sad that people think that way and that authors have to cram romance into a perfectly good story with a female lead for people to continue reading it. Anyway, if you know anything with a female lead and like zero romance then I would love to hear your recommendations.
