Webtoon Tropes

Noree August 7, 2019 8:39 pm

I want to make a webtoon so I gathered some tropes for the story however I ended up getting too carried away and made too many tropes for me to work with xwx
Please let me know which trope is the most interesting and I'll prob focus on that. (I wrote some of these tropes half awake so they might not make sense on some parts >q<)

1: An outcast witch saves a vampire running away from a mob of humans attempting to kill him. They become a couple later on and go on wacky adventures featuring supernatural creatures and witchcraft.
They're a switch couple and the vampire is verrrry toll

2: A story about 2 special escort service workers falling in love. The main couple is a switch and both female, however, the more dominant one out of the couple mostly bottoms.

3: A boy questioning his sexual identity stumbles upon a renovated cafe that once was a gay bar and meets the owner who is an openly gay man who once was a regular at the bar. The cafe owner mentors the boy about discovering his identity and shares his experiences of being a homosexual in very traditional times. The 2 have a platonic relationship since the owner is likely middle-aged/elderly whereas the boy is in high school.

4: An omega sheep-girl meets an alpha wolf-boy and the sheep-girl reveals to be sadistic in bed and likely pegs the dude at some point.

5: The daily lives of a sorcerer and knight couple that live in a world plagued with beasts that are their race's main source of resources. The knight is a buff dude who is a power bottom and the sorcerer is a seductive, charming dude whos versatile

6: A fellow priest discovers an injured woman in an alleyway and saves her by bringing her to the church he resided in. The girl works as a nun but later reveals to be a devil and seduces the priest. The girl is actually not a succubus (won't spoil her true identity) and reveals to the priest that he is tainted which explains why she was able to enter the church unharmed. The priest is into bdsm and the demon girl is the mistress.

    4,1,5 and 6 in that order is what I would be interested in. But all sound like good starting points.

    I think that you have given basic plot outlines and not tropes. As tropes are basically cliches and overused plot devices or themes.

    Normally it is best to start with the one that you feel like you have the most intrest in writing at the time but keep a notebook for all your plot ideas for future projects.

    What I was told when I mentioned an interest in doing some digital comics instead of hand drawn ones. (You might find useful).

    To note that doing digital comics and webtoons in different to print ones. I was told by a digital comic book artist at a convention to research computer colours and tones (international computer standards) because she had not and had to redo her colouring as her computer monitor had a tint to it.

    Also if you are planning in any way to do a long term project to invest in a good drawing tablet (one of my digital artist friends had several fall apart from wear and tear because he didn't research the reviews on the tablets properly).

    Ah thank you so much for the advice! The colour one was really helpful since colours always happen to look different on my phone and look fine on my computer!
    I called them tropes cause I thought some of them were pretty corny & unrefined but I appreciate the correction! >///<
