#HALLOWEEN CRYPTER SERIES#

Only thing I'd say you maybe need to work on is that some of the references can be a bit obscure. This format works well because of length though, so I wouldn't say to change that, just be aware that it's probably a matter of length rather than quality that's resulting in somewhat lower karma. I actually quite like the format, but a number of people tend to opt for quick browsing and thus the longer a post the more time it takes to scroll though (I often end up opening anything longer then Reddit preview size in a new tab meaning that it sometimes takes a while to get to them, and some end up just skipping over longer posts). I don't want to scare anyone off or stop writing, I just want to improve if that's possible. So yeah, if you've got any suggestions as to how I can make these comics less awful (they get downvoted a bunch, I've no idea who does it to them or why, but they do), I'm all ears. I thought I made it rather well and the humour seemed solid enough. And I really don't want to fail them or this story I have in mind for them (which I earnestly believe is pretty great) like I did Jason & Heracles or BB & Jaguar Man.Īll in all, I guess I'm still sore that Learning with Moriarty did so poorly. They're great on their own so I thought folks would like these even better than the Kadoc and the Ophelia segments. Maybe they'd do this concept in a way that appeals to more people. The last chapter in particular flopped pretty hard. A varied bunch all made similar with how bad they sag once posted (I've made comments that have gotten more upvotes than most of these strips). The only aspect that seems to consistently escalate is the scope of these projects, going from 8 Classes in JDCCC to 12 Labors in HERC to 7 Crypters each with multiple chapters of their own here.

I mean, the most popular thing I've done recently is a two-panel 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' reference with the Tamamos (over 1,200 karma) whereas the Jason & Heracles series I did that I sunk a lot of time into barely got 4691 karma in total across 22 parts (so that's an average of 213 per). The concept's a lot more esoteric than 'Jason & Heracles go on screwed-up versions of the Twelve Labors'. It's not doing quite as bad as The NEW Twelve Labors of Heracles or Nero Fest Nitwits/Jaguar Dojo CCC, but it's sure not doing terrific. 'Part 1 Crypters' seems to be going the same way. I dunno if I'm writing the characters wrong or if it's how long they are, my word choice, the way the strips look, the ideas at play, the times of day I choose to post them, the frequency with which I post them, or if I'm just not on the same wavelength as this community, but my screenshot comics just don't seem to connect with the subreddit as much as other similar content does or at least as much as they could on their own. I've received some really wonderful comments in the past that even appreciate some of my zanier jokes and added followers that have managed to keep me going, but I'm on the cusp of hitting a wall. I'm looking for some constructive criticism when it comes to comics like these. She was also going to be super hyper from drinking all that blood, but for such an energetic joke, it took way too long to explain/display on-panel. The original gag of this comic had Hinako freaking out more about being teleported to Chaldea through a trap door in a castle basement, fixating on how Elizabeth managed to fabricate a Second Magic-esque miracle and thus must be destroyed. It isn't until near the end that everyone notices she's just not with the group anymore (Ushi just assumed she was being her usual quiet self), Hinako having snuck off to take advantage of Castle Csejte's crimson coffers while her kouhais deal with the very obvious culprit behind these Halloween hijinks. Hinako is an even more reluctant drag-along in this Event, doing her best to interact with the madness as little as possible before she stops appearing in onscreen dialogue altogether midway through. Kiyohime would see them as Anchin's head monk, Byrnhildr would view them as King Sigmund, etc. Something I didn't properly explain in Ophelia or Kadoc's chapters is that Servants who have a distorted view of Ritsuka will comprehend his various Crypter 'seniors' in similarly twisted lights. If it wasn't for the whole 'outlive everyone you come to care about' thing, being a Xian/Elemental would be a pretty sweet gig since you don't have that edge lord hunger for blood and just passively draw magical energy from your surroundings to keep yourself fed.
