Hideth is available on this online comics platform powerhouse from Asia.

In a desire to increase Hideth's reach, I looked for a webcomic platform and came accross WEBTOON.

WEBTOON is an important online comics publisher from Asia with a 14+ million reader base.

Since it is based in Asia, most comics are Manga (style).

While the style of Hideth is different, having it in WEBTOON has its benefits.

One thing that stood out for me was its peculiar vertical format.

The WEBTOON format optimizes the reading comics experience for small devices like smartphones and tablets.

The format also allows creators to tell their graphic novels in a fresh cool way.

That includes disassembling drawings, using zooms, placing the dialog balloons on their own, etc.

It's time consuming and challenging but I do find how value this vertical format is.

Hideth was introduced to WEBTOON on April 15, 2019, and a portion of Chapter 1 was published on a weekly basis.


July 2021 Update: The Spanish version of Hideth is now being published on WEBTOON. Read the full story here
