    I honestly love reading webcomics more than I love reading actual books. I suppose being able to see characters, their expressions, the world around them, etc is a lot more satisfying. Also, I really love being able to see how an artist's style may develop over time, the kinds of colors they use, stuff like that.

    One of my favorite webcomics is one you've probably heard of- Ava's Demon. It's brilliant, vivid, depressing, and interesting all in one. I love the characters, the designs, the plot, and the way the story is presented, panel by panel, like a storyboard.

    Another webcomic I really enjoy is Satan and Me by Orangeplum. It can be read on Tapas or Tumblr (although I prefer Tapas), and to put it simply, it's about a girl who summons Satan by accident. A lot more than that happens, and funny enough it originated because of a tumblr post. Although, it's currently on hold because Orangeplum is busy with real life stuff.

    Another I'll suggest is Wilde Life, about a regular guy who moves to a regular town to have a regular life. But I'm sure you can imagine things end up being... er, not so regular.

    So, talk about webcomics, if you read any, and maybe recommend some!

    I read Ava's Demon! The art style is absolutely beautiful. And I absolutely adore the characters.

    Big same! And what excites me the most is that it's barely over- there's still, I believe, 3 demons who need to be revealed (if all the seven sins are going to be shown at once). I'm just really hyped for what comes next, although updates have been a lot slower ;w;

    Only one I really read is Awkward Zombie. I love her humour, though I wish she'd do more FE- and Smash-related comics; they're veritable gold mines of comedy. :D

    Okay, gotta correct myself - I also read the Fire Emblem Heroes 4-koma that are posted every month or so; it's up to 19 pages so far and each one is hilarious. :D

    Same!!! From what I can see of the cast that hasn't been added yet, I'm really looking forward to seeing the person with the guitar! I'm hoping that since the shape around them is a star, their demon is space related.

    Can I ask who your fave human and demon are? Mine are Ava and Pedri (Tuls is a super close second tho!)

    I have not read a full webcomic original in a while, but I do love Widowmaker Daily, Blackwatch Guide, and Genji Cat!

    Ohhh, really? That's super exciting to look forward. I love the space aesthetic, so I can't wait to see what the design will be like.

    Hm, my fave human is probably Gil. Because he's such a foil to everyone, being a follower of Titan, and he's genuinely just a nice guy who has high hopes. My heart broke when he applied for his doctor job at the HQ, and his anger at everyone is 100% justified. He wants a normal life- or, at least, as normal as one could get as a Titan follower- and these random people came along and threw it completely out the window. I can't imagine how betrayed he must feel, especially considering how he helped them.

    I also really like Pedri, something about him is very... exotic. And you can see how much he really loves Wrathia. That being said, out of all of them, my favorite demon is Tuls. He's melancholy and gloomy, he actually reminds me a bit of myself. I'm concerned what will happen when his magic runs out, though.

    I don't read many webcomics (though I should read more of them), but I LOVE the ones I do read. Sandra and Woo, for example, is an absolutely amazing webcomic about a girl and her raccoon. Customer Service Wolf is a hilarious tumblr webcomic about a bookstore run by wolves. And then I read the obvious - Blue Chair, Sarah's Scribbles, etc.

    I've actually never heard of those! Are they, like, 4-panel comics? Or slice of life type comics?

    Oh! I'm surprised. You might have seen them before but not know them by name? They're slice of life.

    Ohh, I see. Actually, now that I think about it, I think I have actually heard of Blue Chair. I looked up Sarah's Scribbles, and I had no idea that was the name! The art is so cute :D

    I haven't read many webcomics, just Homestuck and Prequel, which I haven't checked up on in a while. Wow now that I checked on it, I'm actually really far behind. Oh, Sandra and Woo was another one, which I also haven't checked on in a while. I wonder how that's doing.

    Webcomics I currently read:
    :: xkcd
    :: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
    :: Awkward Zombie
    :: Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

    Webcomics I used to read:
    :: Brawl in the Family (up until its finale)
    :: Axe Cop (I lost interest)
    :: Perry Bible Fellowship (I lost interest)
    :: Final Smash (I read all of them, since there wasn't a large number of issues. It took me about an hour. Then I lost interest.)

    I'm not really looking to add any more; I think that repertoire is enough for me to tide over my boredom - especially the first two on the list. This should give you an idea of what my humour is like.
