Daughter of a Thousand Faces went on season-end hiatus in October. It looks like it will indeed continue. It's got good art (sometimes bordering on great) and a better than average take on the standard fantasy world. It's also got decent main characters and story, but I wouldn't call it innovative or unique... though people who don't read webtoons might. I'm hoping for better development in season two, whenever that is.

What's so special about webtoons? Not criticising, I really want to know.
I tried to read some, but they seemed... boring. Maybe there is something I don get yet.

What's so special about webtoons? Not criticising, I really want to know. I tried to read some, but they seemed... boring. Maybe there is something I don get yet. I would say that more than 99 out of 100 webtoons I would also find boring or awful or both, sometimes with lackluster art. Overall they tend to be more formulaic than western webcomics but it is a different set of tropes, so there's that. There's whole genres that I ignore unless I see buzz about one. That's similar to my experience with webcomics, though. The ones I liked tended to have darker themes. I've tried to sift out a few of the better ones to present in this thread. I've probably been unfair to the comedy genre since it tends to not come through in translation. Sometimes the translations are just bad overall. However, if it's hilariously bad on the regular than that's a plus. The FL's family name in Gimmie That Pacifier! is supposed to be Crown but is often rendered as "Clown" which makes for some interesting dialogue sometimes, such as, "I will shield you on my honor as a Clown!" (I'm still withholding judgement on if I like that one or not, but I don't hate it). Also I remember one fantasy webtoon was doing an infodump about the neighboring pocket kingdom and described its economy as being based on "radish and anatomy." Make of that what you will but there was an illustration of a big treasure chest bursting with gold coins and I doubt it was the radishes bringing in that chunk of change. [edit] Remembered it slightly wrong, not enough space to post it here, will put it in another post. [/edit] And then there's the use of place names that westerners wouldn't use, like this one (pay attention, Canadians)...  Then sometimes there's an error that's just... a gem.  |

For those who like strong female leads, Speaking of. Hark! A Vagrant (another finished webcomic) had some “Strong Female Characters” parody. why are the Gods of Egypt running some provincial Canadian town Oh. This reminds me of other fun, but long-finished series! Eerie Cuties spin-off Magick Chicks had a few of the less-prominent Greek gods messing around in what seems to be a provincial Canadian town. The other spin-off is set elsewhere, however ( Dangerously Chloe, starring the teen succubus from EC, but only sometimes NSFW, as are the first two series). Next Town Over isn't quite finished yet. Another page just came out yesterday, and it looks like there should be a few more to wrap things up. My bad. Thanks. I cannot be the only one who thought “daughter of Parley and Smitty cosplaying as Chun Li”, right? |

To update my list of followed webcomics and how well they're doing from, uh, more than 7 years ago now? I had actually intended to do this sooner. There will be some overlap with imaginary's list, also, no links, many will be linked to in other people's lists.
Category 1: Regularly updating
Pretty much the same as they ever and always were: Dinosaur Comics, Gunnerkrigg Court, xkcd.
Two I started reading regularly since the previous list:
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: Consistently daily, sometimes misses one or a few updates because of other activities but usually makes up for it.
Morally bankrupt and artistically regressed webcomic that shall not be named: Updates daily. This one was, over a decade ago, a quite popular and acclaimed comic, then it infamously took a hard turn/dive into heavy-handed radical feminist messaging, which people complained about quite a bit, though they didn't really know how good they had it, since some years after that, the comic started a steady descent into far-right propaganda and conspiracy theories from anti-queer and anti-vaccine to now explicitly pro-insurrection and anti-semitic, all but dropping previous plots and values and being for several years now just a lazy, unsalvageable mess of incompatible messages and broken metaphors. Lots of people still follow it just to boggle vacantly at whichever new depths the author manages to dig down to.
Category 2: Hobbling towards completion
The Order of the Stick: Updates maybe once or twice a month? It should be in or close to the final stages, so my guess would be it finishes, but not in the next year or two, which is funny, because I said the exact same thing seven years ago.
Paranatural: Almost updates regularly once a week, but I'm putting it in this category not only because it not seldom skips one or more weeks, but because it sadly ceased to be a webcomic: it's now prose with illustrations, and I'd be lying if I said I thought the format was a better match for the author's strengths. They've raised the possibility of going back some time to remake the prose chapters as comic pages, but let's be real, that's not ever happening, and at this pace, it should be many years before all the still growing plotlines and world building elements are tied together and/or concluded, unless the plan is just to make them collide and explode all at once, which could be interesting I guess.
Awful Hospital: This appears to have slowed to once every month or every few months, although this matters less to me now since I actually stopped reading it several years ago when, in a Homestuck-like fashion, it started to do multi-page updates with lots and lots of reading, which is not how I tend to prefer webcomics. Looking at the latest updates, prose interspersed with illustrations seems to be how it's going now, although this is less of a change compared to Paranatural, since AH was always text-accompanying-illustrations.
Outsider: This actually had a comparatively active period, but now updates with a few pages a year. It's a bit weird because according to statements by the author, the comic should be well past its midpoint, yet I have absolutely no idea how the plot could be properly wrapped up in however many pages that would leave, when even the current tactical situation is just dragging itself forward.
Dresden Codak: It feels like about once a year I remember to check this and there's a handful of new pages, so bimonthly on average, I guess? This leaves you guessing at how close the current serial is to finishing because at this point, who knows what it's actually about.
Category 3: Stalled, stopped or finished
Camp Weedonwantcha: This appeared to become a victim of creator burnout after they were seemingly near a cartoon adaptation deal which fell through. The comic was brought to a sort of OK stopping point, with a half-hearted promise from the co-writer to continue if possible, then it was taken offline.
Flaky Pastry: Was for many years one of the most reliably updating weekly webcomics, but then a year ago, the author paused it for personal reasons, saying it will continue, although when is anyone's guess.
Cucumber Quest: Slowed down more and more, then stopped, with the author saying she felt she needed the time for other creative projects, which I hope were really amazingly good ones, as I feel CQ was one of the best webcomics going in some respects. She said she intended to summarize the remainder of the plot in illustrated prose, but so far as I know this didn't happen aside from the first sample, and now the comic appears to be offline (no, it's there, though the "recent" link doesn't work).
Gastrophobia/Pepsiaphobia: After a years-long hiatus, the author declared the last finished chapter non-canon and soft-rebooted the comic with a new character focus, which went on for a little while but then I believe stopped again, possibly in order to rewrite previous parts of the comic to fit the reboot.
The Non-adventures of Wonderella: Exactly as I predicted, the random schedule pretty much meant no schedule, except for the yearly St Patrick's Day comics, and the last page was in 2019.
Ava's Demon: Went into a long hiatus while the author ran the comic from the beginning on a different site and was busy with other work perhaps. Last I checked there was an update's worth of pages beyond what I remembered from many years ago, so unless something happened somewhere very recently I think it's safe to categorize it as stalled.
Broodhollow: Went through several ill-boding reboots of chapter 3, then the author apparently got sick of this and removed everything after chapter 2 (which ended in 2014), never to pick it up again. In the process he also removed most of the features on the site, so that even if someone wants to read the comic, navigating it is a bit of a pain.
Derelict: As noted last time this was paused in favour of a second comic, which actually finished, but then the author declared he wouldn't return to Derelict. Instead he started on another comic, but as far as I can tell, that stopped updating after the prologue.
Battle Dog: Nope, never started up again and I can't imagine it will now.
Homestuck: Not counting additional material by other creators, essentially rubberstamped fan fiction, it did get a couple of epilogue-ish flashes just after my last post, although if I wanted to refresh my memory about them, I can't because Flash no longer works... which is not great for the comic in its entirety. I hope Problem Sleuth is still intact, though, as I think it was just GIF-based.
Category 4: Various random stuffs I don't really read now and didn't mention last time
The Perry Bible Fellowship: I could be wrong, but I think this still updates every couple of years, only it's the "wow, is this one new?" kind of experience and not "grr, when's it gonna update again".
Kiwis by Beat!: Some random stories. The site went offline but people saved most of it I think.
Back: Apparently I hadn't discovered this when I made my last post. It went on for a while and then finished.
What Birds Know: Finished. One of the creators used to post in this forum.
Boy on a Stick and Slither: This was a comic I used to read and enjoy way back in the early 2000s. I later found out to my surprise it kept going several years into the 2010s, but with a much changed (and way uglier) graphic style and on Tumblr, both of which pretty much guaranteed I wouldn't pick it up again. Well, it's dead again now. (Coincidentally, Count Your Sheep, another comic I read intermittently in the early 2000s, also updated for the last time in 2015.)
The Adventures of Superhero Girl: Apparently ran in 100 pages between 2013 and 2014, I remember very little of this but it was on this list I made at some point.
Subnormality: No idea if this is mostly ingenious or mostly unreadable, but there are new pages every now and then.

For those who like strong female leads, mystery and a bucketful of splendid renderings of ancient Egyptian mythology I commend Godslave by Meaghan Carter. I must thank you for this. Wonderful! I'm hooked. This is not the only thing I love about Godslave, but it is a hell of a cliffhanger. In. Every. Page. |

A lot of reading suggestions in this thread
Regularly GC XKCD Order of the Stick Irregularly Sandra&Woo: very irregularly after the fox suggested to actually eat the squirrel Ava's demon: irregularly not because of a lack of interest but because it's an endless succession of hiatuses Will get around to continue one day, maybe Darths&Droids: stopped before the Rogue One part and will resume after seeing the movie, not so much to avoid Rogue One spoilers but more for a better enjoyment of the webcomic Erfworld: The part hosted with Order of the Stick, may give a try to the rest one day Read a bunch, stopped, unlikely to continue soon Megatokyo Phoebe and Her Unicorn The Meek: Hiatus Strong Female Protagonist: Hiatus Drowtales: was some sort of Drizzt retelling, needed rewriting, was rewritten, not sure it got better The concluded DM of the Rings minus: downloaded what I could find, once read it to friends translating into french while they were looking at the pictures (the whole story is quite short) Eerie Cuties |

Besides GC I still regularly read Girl Genius and xkcd and (when it occasionally updates) Order of the Stick with genuine enjoyment.
I still read Questionable Content daily but more out of habit and from occasional "so bad it's hilarious" vibes. It is not what it used to be.
I still read Something Positive but both update regularity and quality have been all over the place for years now. Still better than Questionable Content though.
I think that's it. Everything else died, or became too much of a hassle to follow (hi Megatokyo!) years ago.

Just finished reading Chirault. chirault.sevensmith.net/?comic_id=0Now I'm starting Wychwood www.wychwoodcomic.com/comic/1Still following Gunnerkrigg Court wrap up. It's my favorite comic now alongside Kill Six Billion Demons, but at least GC updates everyday, whereas K6BD is every other week (if any). I agree, Questionable Content had its day, now is boooring. Don't mean it mean, I love Jeph and QC a lot, but it is starting to run in circles. EDIT: also following Godslave and loving it, but the updates are painfully sparse. |

To keep this list from being a mile long, I'll only name the ones I actively currently keep up with:
- Order of the Stick
- Rigsby, WI (sometimes nsfw)
- Witch Warp (Joe England's (Zebra Girl's creator) brand-new webcomic! only a few pages right now though)
- Unsounded (sometimes nsfw)
- What Lurks Beneath
- Golden Shrike
But I intermittently read, or have read, a huge swathe of everything else named here so far by others!
(and gkc. obviously.)

Back in the day (we're talking 10-20 plus years ago) I kept up with a LOT but since that time many have been discontinued or finished up. These days I'm hesitant to get into any new since, well, my frustration with getting into a good story only for the author to abandon it four years in or to abandon it and then have the comics disappear into the ether when the website address isn't renewed has made me a bit gunshy. Plus I'm in my thirties now and don't have unlimited time to binge read a thousand pages anymore. Anyway, y'all don't need to hear my webcomic browsing history, so here's what I read: - Magellan. A long-running (20 years this year!) superhero webcomic that embraces, lampshades, and plays with all the superhero tropes. Tons of characters for you to fall in love with, including a strong female slanting cast that's neither there for fanservice or to be fridged, and it alternates between long chapters that take years to tell and shorter ones. I'm a longtime reader of it and in fact wrote a fanfic for it! Still waiting for Grace to update the site with it since I turned it in some time ago, but alas, she's on a longterm unexpected hiatus. She does plan to get back to it eventually and my Patreon subscription was refunded this month so I know she's alive and well, so fingers crossed it'll start up again soon! - Kevin and Kell. The longest of the long, it's a daily updating gag-a-day webcomic that has been going on since 1995! Did you ever wonder what it would be like if characters from daily comics like Peanuts, Family Circus, or Dennis the Menace aged in real time? Holbrook slowly ages his anthromorphic animal cast, with about ten or eleven years having roughly passed in-universe since the comic began, and characters that were babies being born now young children and teenaged characters now old enough to get married and have kids of their own. The comic does take some interesting shifts, with the first ten years focused on more "wacky" plots typical of webcomics at the time like time travel, clones, and alternate dimensions before that "phase one" was wrapped up and it became more grounded in reality, which didn't diminish his storytelling ability at all. - Lackadaisy. This one has been on hiatus a while since the animation phase of the brand rolled out but it's still a fun read. Anthromorphic cats running a secret bar and club in the Prohibition era. Always hoping the author will get back to producing the gorgeously made pages someday! - Life and Death. This one is another gag-a-day webcomic that vacillates between having a serious, long-running plot and just simple funny plots that run for about twenty strips. It's another long runner and updates pretty much whenever the author feels like it these days. It follows Steve, the Grim Reaper, and Bobby, the personification of LIve, and pretty much all the fantastical characters they encounter including God Himself, the Devil, and personifications of things like Time and Chaos. There's usually a heavy fantasy slant to the plots these days that will only make sense if you read the entire comic and get the backstory on Steve. - Jack. I thought this one was long-dead and recently found out it got started up again! Jack is a tale of anthro animals following Jack, the incarnation of the Grim Reaper, who works to find out why he lost his memories after he died and was sent to Hell as punishment. These days, the arcs being told by other authors and artists tend to focus on the denizens of Heaven as well, with some finished side arcs having been told about the main characters from the now defunct furry webcomic Vinci & Arty. The arcs can be extremely sad but many contain a note of hope and optimism that keeps me coming back. Keep in mind: Very, VERY NSFW and most of the arcs have every single trigger warning you can think of since, let's be real, the author was using it as a form of therapy for much of its run, though the comic mellowed out a bit on the more extreme aspects in recent years. This comic has and still is VERY polarizing for a lot of people, so it's not everyone's cup of tea. The author Dave Hopkins has been working on a finishing arc that he says will take four parts to tell for literally over ten years now which has yet to be published but he and the current site admin have said that will not be the end, as most of the characters (not including those created by other people for the author to use) have been released to the public domain, so as long as someone wants to write and illustrate something new for the canon, they can! Ones that died/wrapped up: - Mindmistress. A loving homage to both silver age comics and Greek mythology, this tale follows Lorelai Lyons, a young mentally handicapped woman who receives a locket that grants her the ability to boost her intelligence level to that far above those of average people and how she becomes a superheroine using the devices she comes up with. The tale is told with sensitivity, given the author had children who were mentally handicapped, though keep in mind there are some outdated terms in the comic, usually used derisively. (R***rded is one.) The author never gave a "final sendoff" or wrap-up arc, merely stopped telling it once he ran out of story ideas, and sadly Al passed away a few years ago, making any comeback impossible. Mindmistress crossed over with a LOT of webcomics back in the day since she had the canon power to use a device to visit other universes and realities, though alas many of these webcomics themselves have ceased to exist. One that still exists and has a full-blown arc involving her visit is Magellan, which I mentioned above. - Zebra Girl. A long-runner from the early days of webcomics that ran for eighteen years (!), it's beautifully illustrated with black-and-white art, following a young woman named Sandra who is cursed to become a demon after her friends and her mess with a tome of ancient magic. There's a lot of not-aged-so-well wackiness that could often be found in the early days of turn-of-the-century webcomics (the very first page is the author breaking the fourth wall to be snarky and welcome the readers) but the tale soon becomes much more serious and grounded in reality, with that wackiness explored for serious consequences later on down the line. My favorite characer is Sam Sprinkles, an anthro rabbit (boy did I read a lot of comics with anthro animals back in the day!) who is a functional alcoholic, has medium awareness since he starred in a TV show in his home reality for many years, and generally is just extremely likable. This the rarest of the rare, a webcomic that told a complete story and actually finished telling it before the author ran out of steam. The author, Joe England, recently started up a spin-off comic called Witch Warp, using what he learned over the years of making Zebra Girl to make the new one. |

There is a webcomic that I used to read, many aeons ago, called The Joy of Tech, by Nitrozac (the name is self-explanatory). I think she stopped doing it in 2013, but the archives are worth a read (she started it in the year 2000). I actually like her other 1999 comic better: After year 2k, a satire about the collapse of civilization due to the Millenial Bug. In real life there were absolutely no problems, but in comic things are desperate... www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/www.geekculture.com/geekycomics/Aftery2k/y2Karchives/fatnogood.html (start here) |

I would say that more than 99 out of 100 webtoons I would also find boring or awful or both, sometimes with lackluster art. Overall they tend to be more formulaic than western webcomics but it is a different set of tropes, so there's that. Thinking about my experiences reading through webtoons looking for gems, I realized that they have enough tropes in common to make a game from it so I did. Here's Webtoon Trope Bingo on BingoBaker. I wouldn't call it a fun game, it's more of a way to keep yourself focused on your task while staying sane game... but if you need to make content for your podcast, make a contest for an anime convention, or entertain a van full of weebs on a long road trip it might come in handy. You and your guests can either use the same webtoon or each select one that you consider the tropiest and see who can achieve bingo first. Here's a sample card. FYI I goofed and duplicated "status windows" on some cards so one of those squares should be made into something else (like K-Pop Reference or Look, or Love Triangle or better).  |

It's a scifi focusing on concepts of transhumanism and identity. Some NSFW elements. The website is unfortunately broken, but I really enjoyed Vendetta back when I was in high school; one of the first webcomics I read. vendettacomic.com/. Action comic with some futuristic technology. |

Sigrid is on hiatus but I hear it is green-lit for another season. It's not exactly my bag but it's one of the better ones in the romance/fantasy genre. The plot is Sigrid (FL) is a loyal female magic knight who does a lot of dirty jobs for her king; he repays her loyalty by framing and executing her for political convenience. She regresses (or possibly time-travels) back to before she made a lot of questionable life-choices and tries to take a better path by having better relationships with the people around her. It's main strong point is how it avoids or only weakly engages in many of the pitfalls and tropes that plague webtoons, particularly romance ones. Like many of the better webtoons it's based on a webnovel, and that's likely why the political dimension and fantasy world are a bit less vague than a typical webtoon. I can make a bingo with it but I have to reach a little.

I really enjoyed Never Mind the Gap: nmg.thecomicseries.com/It's a scifi focusing on concepts of transhumanism and identity. Some NSFW elements. I started Never Mind the Gap and it's really good! I also loved the "bookmarking" tool under the navigation (Save my place/Load my place). It's something simple that should be added to any and all web comics in the world (including Gunner's Kragg). |

The webtoon I became the ML's Adopted Daughter aka 남주의 입양딸이 되었습니다 is back from hiatus for a second season. The plot is pretty standard. A transmigrator (FL) awakens as an abused and penniless amnesiac orphan in a vaguely-European fantasy world; she finds out she's the niece of the Duke of the North (ML) when he adopts her as his daughter. They haven't gone into it deeply but if memory serves the FL then recognizes the fantasy world they're in as a romance webnovel she liked before she reincarnated. Moreover, this is the second part of the novel after the original FL resets time so that her life goes a different way and she doesn't wind up with the ML (which makes the original FL a reincarnator native to the world). In fact, the original FL is barely mentioned in the first season at all. The story does hit a lot of the usual webtoon tropes but not as many as most and a lot of them it hits weakly. I wasn't able to get a webtoon trope BINGO with this webtoon and probably couldn't even if I'd randomized a different card. Sure, the magic system and political dimension are a little vague but not overly so and they do flesh them out more as they go. The art's pretty good and often intricate but rarely brilliant. The charming point of the art is that it often supports the humorous moments in being funny, making a webtoon that starts with some very dark background themes (child abuse, sex trafficking, torture, murder) into something that's oddly light-hearted. The FL and ML make a good daughter/father comic pair with the ML regularly playing the straight man to the adult-mind-in-child-body FL's dirty mind and filthy mouth, and In My Humble Opinion the humor is what makes this webtoon go from "meh" to "yeah okay I'll read it." It's not spectacular but it's solid and it has it's moments. People looking for romance in this webtoon may be frustrated because it's so far almost completely absent from the story except as abstract references, though that may change in season two. If if follows the webtoon pattern there will be a time skip that will boost the FL from single-digit years to dating age... but that might be a couple dozen chapters into the future or more. [edit] Oh yeah, forgot to mention that there's no annoying RPG mechanics in this one. No levels, no status windows, no hit magic or affection points, no skill tree, no mission goals, no funny talking animal game interface, none of that crap... and that's a nice change. [/edit]  |

Finished it. It was very good from start, but it was very short and... Just ended. When you thought something big was about to happen it simply ended. "No, I understand". Still recomend the comic. |
