Already fuck you. Also this sounds like a fetish thing.
They're always fetish things.

>>88499307
Well, it's one of those things that sounds like a fetish thing but actually turns out to be something really world-changing. Like that manga about masturbating on clothing.

>>88499175
Is the art still terrible?

I don't think the art was bad to begin with.

>>88499431
>>88499482
The art was always "Learn How To Draw Manga"-tier. If that is good enough or not it's up to you.

>>88499307
It's basically what you would get if you did a gender swap story, but instead of being funny, you made it as realistic and serious as possible, such as whole life adjustments and identity crisis. Also, since the entire universe warped to fit this change, he doesn't have to pretend to be a boy since he was "technically always a girl", but that also means his best friend is now his first lover and he reunited with his estranged mother.

Basically, a serious, realistic take on a gender bending story.

>>88499774
a serious and realistic take but with pot smoking angels.

>>88499175
Holy shit this thing is still a thing. I really thought he was going to abandon it after a couple of years like Building 12.

>>88499482
Nah man, the art was shit even for webcomic standards, not as bad as some other notorious ones (like CAD, Jack, Sonichu or Crash Bandicoot Retold), but still not good. Nowadays, the art's better proportioned, but it has all the hallmarks of shitty Anime styles (like rhino noses) and a distinct lack of shadow shading. To say nothing about the cars.

As for the rest of the comic, the damn thing should have ended at this point. It's moving even slower than a comic of its length should and its major selling points (car racing, gender bending fetishes, "Will they/won't they" relationships with an angel and an unwilling tranny) seem to be waylaid for slow character development and filler with a side story that should not have been part of the main comic.

>>88499833
I'm also surprised it's still going, but I'm terrified of where it could possibly be if it's still going after all this time. The fact that it hasn't come to some kind of resolution already tells me I don't care what it has been doing all this time. It seemed like the kind that would have a resolution, yet apparently no.

>>88499799
Well they had to explain the entire universe changing somehow, and there had to be a reason as to why they screwed up.

>>88499175

The problem with Misfile is that it has no goddamn idea what comic it wants to be, so its in a holding pattern that makes Questionable Content look fast paced.

Is it a fetish comic? Not really, while Ash refuses to stop talking about how she used to be a boy there isn't really anything fetishy going on. Even the couple of times she has made out with other girls have been sexless offscreen affairs that only served to give Ash another reason to angst.

Is it a racing comic? No, but half the time all the comic talks about is cards and racing down the same road over and over again.

Is the comic about the shit going on with the Angels? Almost! Its certainly the closest thing the comic has to a plot, but we only get a couple of pages mentioning it a year, and a only some of those even 'forward' that plot as opposed to just reminding us its still a thing.

Is it about Ash and Emily's relationship, making it a romance comic? It sort of was for a while, but they have been in a confirmed relationship for like a year now (real time, I'm pretty sure less than a single story year has passed in full since the comic began) and nothing has really changed.

I basically just read it out of habit. For a comic that updates three times a week nothing freaking happens in it, but its so inoffensive that I can't be bothered to remove it from my 'webcomics' tab that I Open All on every weekday.

>>88499862
It's still progressing faster than SGVY.

>>88499874
Seriously? Ash and Emily finally got together?

> Even the couple of times she has made out with other girls

How many times has this happened?

>>88499175
It's proto-weeb shit that wishes it was Ranma

>>88499874
Well that's sucks.
After all these years it goes nowhere.
I'm more surprised he keeps updating it.

>>88499874
Yeah I started reading it for fetishy reasons and after a point early on that's no longer a thing. The character adjusts to life as a girl and that's that. It was never good at any of the other things it tried to be and the only reason it was good for gender bending fetish material is because of how starved that genre is overall.

I have an on again off again relationship with el goonish shive, but at least that one keeps doing enough fetish stuff to stay interesting and on rare occasions makes me laugh.

>>88499891
That is a really low standard.

>>88499891
Is it still updating? I thought the artist/writer had abandoned it to do real porn comics.

>>88499969

EGS, if nothing else, has plot shit going on and magic battles every once in a while. Shit happens in EGS. Maybe not at a super fast pace, but fast enough to keep interest.

>>88499874
>For a comic that updates three times a week nothing freaking happens in it
Actually it updates five times, has been for years now.

You'd think it'd make it go by faster, but no.

>>88499862
This is such doofy logic. "It's long so I'm just going to assume it's probably bad and not check it to find out because that would mean having to face the possibility that I'm wrong."

>>88500081
It's still alive. Somehow.

>>88499874
Actually, it's been about a year and three months in the story. Ash and Emily celebrated the one year anniversary with a one-shot MMO event.

>>88500137

God, you are right. Somehow I forgot that.

For comparison, here's a strip from two days ago, the 15th of December.

>>88500145
no it's practical. The thing no longer had anything of value to me so I dropped it. The only thing it could possibly have to satisfy me is plot resolution, but the fact that it is still ongoing tells me that is not something the comic ever intends to have.

Webcomics have evolved enough that the standards for them are higher. I have better things to read. Unless it's going to scratch at a fetish, which it stopped doing years ago, then it's worthless to me.

logic has nothing to do with it, only personal taste. Of which you are lacking.

>>88499874
>>88500137
I'm confused by these posts. You seem to want it to end but isn't the whole point that it's about the journey and not the destination? Most people would be tickled to have a story that goes on this long while updating this frequently.

>>88500206
jesus christ if you hadn't told me I would have guessed that art was from years ago. Even CAD and QC have improved more in just a few years than this comic has in its lifetime.

The artist is in a rut I think.

>>88500225

Huh. I just realized... is there such a thing as a 'new' TG webcomic?

It feels like that was a fad back in the 2000s, stuff like Misfile and EGS. But the only ones I can think of that are around these days are the ones that survived from back then, not anything new.

I wonder if that's because the new people into that concept are doing things other than webcomics, or because culturally we have moved past whatever it was that made people want to do those kinds of stories.

>>88500297
Have you never played The Elder Scrolls? It's exactly the same idea and it's a huge success.

>>88500272
>backgrounds have gotten slightly better

What backgrounds? I went from someone who couldn't draw a stick figure to a graphic designer doing occasional illustration work of better quality than any single page of this comic, all in the time this comic has been going on. I have completed more character arcs than this comic has chapters in the time it has been going on.

The lack of improvement in this art is the most depressing thing I have encountered this year, and I shouldn't have to remind anyone of how depressing and this year has been.

>>88500315
I think most TG content is one-shot stuff on tumblr, like that "you are beautiful" one bird artist.

>>88500366
>like that "you are beautiful" one bird artist
???

>>88500236

Good storytelling requires actions to have weight. I have to believe that what I am seeing/reading matters for the characters, and that things are building to some kind of climax or conclusion. There needs to be setup and payoff.

Misfile doesn't have much of either. Progress is minimal to nonexistent, and while I presume eventually the Angels are going to get dragged into some kind of fight involving the celestial filing room for all I know it could be another decade before that happens.

Direction is seriously lacking, and pacing is an issue. I can't say exactly what the destination is, but I can't shake the feeling that a more competent storyteller could tell a less bloated version of this story in a fraction of the time. Distill it down to its strongest elements and just do it, instead of stretching onward into infinity.

No story has ever been improved by being stretched thin and filled with filler.

>>88500333
What absolute moron likes the elder scrolls for the story?

no you fucking idiot, a thing failing in one aspect but succeeding in another does not make the failing a positive trait. No one believes for a second that bethesda knows how to tell a story, but given how this comic is a failure in every other aspect, I have no reason to excuse its story.

So no. Fucking. shut up you stupid shit. Are you actually fucking simple enough that you would bring up fucking skyrim's story as a defense? How old are you? Are you going to bring up minecraft's character development next?

Oh dear lord. Really? How about every fucking person who has played it? You realize how much people obsess over the lore?

>>88499762
No worse than Megatokyo and that comic is insanely popular.

>>88500236
You have read the whole thing right?

The comic's confused and plodding as fuck. With no idea what it wants to be and only occasional development here and there. In a perfect world, it'd either be nearing its end or have ended a while a go. And at this point, I'm wondering if even Hazelton knows what direction he's taking this thing in.

>>88500503
Yeah and some people obsess over the lore in WoW too despite blizzard making shit up as they go along and adding things because they saw a funny movie with jack black in it.

Are you actually using this as a defense of this comic? This is not a redeemable quality of elder scrolls, no matter how many 13 year olds on youtube would say otherwise.

Is the creator of the comic in this thread trying to defend it with shit like this? What the fuck is going on.

>>88500537
Is it really? It hasn't been insanely popular since this comic started.

>>88499774
we have that and it's not shit its called Fukigen Cinderella

>>88500573
Popular enough for that Kickstarter to absolutely destroy its goal.

>>88500725
That only really depends on how high their goal was. Are they making more than el goonish shive?

>>88500554
Oh so you're one of those people who mistakenly thinks that because things are widely acclaimed the story must not be very well thought out. I know your type.

>>88500765
No I'm one of those people who knows how to sepperate fanboy hype from actual quality.

The elder scrolls is well loved for other reasons than its story, the story isn't the draw or the main appeal, it is the background music. People who obsess over the series will inevitably obsess over the story, but people who obsess over stories will scoff at the notion that the story is worth their time, because it's kind of shitty, kind of just thrown together, and not really all that well thought out.

So no. You're still a fucking idiot who wouldn't know a good character arc if it killed your parents.

>>88500747
I can't say how well Megatokyo's kickstarter did but I can say Dan's Patreon is almost 4k a month now.

That's my gold standard for "seeming niche internet fame accrued over time". I don't have a high opinion of him or his comic really, but I respect how his art has progressed over time and certain shared fetishes. He gets good money, but he's technically still a niche you can't easily recommend to even internet friends.

>>88500765
I don't think you know any types really. There's just you and people who disagree with you, which is pretty much everyone else.

Only the ones implied through his comic which he refuses to draw any real smut for because he still has some weird illusions about being above that kind of thing, despite it being the main reason his comic was ever popular enough to push him to improve his art over a long period of time drawing for it.

I don't think I need to be specific.

>>88501321
You have issues. I am not interested in helping you sort them out, but this website is probably not the best place if profiling based on presumed archetypes is all you're working from.

That's what I thought for a while but it gets to a point where you start to question if he's just in denial because you've been around long enough to see people go through all the stages of having weird fetishes from denial all the way to acceptance and beyond it, and you've been beyond it all this time, and it's just not even a thing to you, but here's this guy who seemed to have started out years before you, still afraid to post tits even if it's behind a nsfw patreon, like his mom is still watching after all this time.

And given the rest of the content you can't chock it up to professional standards or anything like that, because they explicitly mention lewd concepts more than enough, but still avoid posting them...

I mean if implied but never shown lewds are his fetish too then that would make sense, but after all these years you think he'd move out of "mom could walk in at any minute mode" and at least be at the "I've given up pretending to have/be above having standards" phase.

I mean why does he think he got so popular to begin with? His terrible video game references? His walls of text? His slow to develop art style? The "anime style" dojo? It was the tits and the gender bending shit. He posts pinups. He knows what the score is. I'm just tired of him acting so innocent about it all. Grow the fuck up man. People have been born and reached puberty in the time your comic has been going.

>>88502029

I know you leave bare tiddies with no nips and then sometimes add them and look around to see if anyone is watching you draw, then you erase the tits and draw them bigger and then make sure no one sees those pages of the sketchbook.

You can do it Dan, just let go and embrace the titties. Only then will you reach your full potential.

The art has not changed since it started. The only difference is in the artist switching from actual pencil to digital pencil. After all these years the lack of improvement is a major flaw.

Throw in a meandering story with no actual conclusion, no character development, and really no prospects worth sticking around for and you have a shit webcomic that is only memorable for its initial premise tickling a certain fetish to no satisfying end.

This webcomic was a tease of a girl who never grew up after high school and who still even dresses in the same shirts from hot topic, never changing, never growing, and looking worse as time goes on and the only people who ever gave her a second glance growing up and moving on to other better drawn and more well though out things.

So no. The only salt here is you defending this thing. Most people in this thread have agreed to half of what I've said at least. There's just you upset that people don't like a thing you still somehow like.

don't flatter yourself.

I have it tagged and keep up while I play a slow game of Armello on another screen on a Saturday night, drinking rum and chatting with friends in discord while there's ice all over the roads outside. And if your defense of this comic is "you're such a loser for being here attacking it" then I should remind you that you are also here defending it. Dumbass.

I used to like this webcomic when I was 15. It was still new then. The op asked what we thought, I've said what I thought.

What's odd is that you haven't said anything to actually defend the comic, you're only going after people who criticize it. Are you going to back your whining up and tell me why I'm wrong, or are you going to try to call me mad again?

>>88504831
It's shit. I could give you a summary of everything up to the "sister" chapter worth knowing. The guy making it is such a sperge that he makes sure to link you to any new references being made to old parts of the comic.

Actually it doesn't fucking matter. He changes gears enough with even the genre. I swear he did way too sudden of a 180 from scifi to fantasy when he got bored of the direction things were going. Suddenly magic and wizards and vampires!

If I wasn't a sucker for gender bending, TF, and tits then I wouldn't keep getting sucked back into this comic.

Holy this it's still around too, and also looks exactly the same as it did a decade ago. I haven't thought about it in YEARS. Do... do people still read it? Is it still popular with the highschool crowd, or is it just early/mid-30s weabos now?

>>88499874
Thanks for the summary so I don't have to slog through years of comics. Yeah, this was the main reason I dropped it - after introducing us into the world, the comic didn't seem to really be going anywhere. Just a dreary, unchanging slog to nowhere with awkward pacing. I'm amazed he's kept it going as long as he has without really advancing the plot. Are all of the car references super-dated now? The tuner scene has changed a lot, but if only a year has passed in-comic...

>>88500236
A lot of people have chimed in already, but here's my take on it:
>isn't the whole point that it's about the journey and not the destination?
Yeah, but the journey should be pointing towards something - anticipation of the destination is what makes you continue onward. And a destination isn't necessarily an ending, it can be a jumping off point for a new journey to a new destination. But reading this comic was like driving endlessly in circles around a parking lot; no journey, no chance of a destination.

On the one hand I feel bad seeing someone who hasn't changed in the slightest in 12 or more years, but on the other hand it gives me good perspective for how much I've changed in that time and I feel better about myself seeing how some people could still be doing the same thing with no end in sight, no progress, no improvement, no change at all from where they were when I first saw them.

Misfile is rather infamous for not having the same quality art as it started with, bucking the normal trend of webcomic artists improving over time.

I still don't know why you're getting so mad about this and fashioning yourself some sort of "puppet master."

What's there to say that you won't subjectively disagree with, anyway? It's got good art and tells a good serious TG story.

>>88506095
>It's all subjective

No it's shit and everyone has explained why it's shit.

Do you have anything real to say or are you going to try the "ur just mad" for a 5th time?

>>88506148
Well, apparently this long conversation means we're actually in love, so you wanna get a coffee or something?

>>88506075
There's also Spinnerette which actively gets worse because the good artist moved on to bigger and better things.

>>88506166
Weak.

>>88506220
I'm surprised that one is still ongoing despite changing artists, it hasn't been nearly as long as other comics mentioned here but it should have died a lot sooner.

>>88505978
Gallagher himself is nearly 50. You gotta respect him for never having given up on his hobbies. Still loves anime, still has his grand self-insert fantasy going and making him the good money.

>>88506066
Bro, he is pretty fucking rich. I don't think he cares what some nerds on 4chan think about him.

>>88506220
>Spinnerette
Awww man, the artist moved on? I was always amused by the self-aware/4th-wall-breaking fan service.

>>88506836
Well the comic's still going but it has a different artist.

>>88506226
That's the first time you've not responded to one of my posts with an autistic rant. Are you really that put off by homosexuality? That would explain the true reason you're so angry about Misfile.

>>88499175
I read part of it for a while because I was intrigued by the concept I saw in a clickbait ad while reading Homestuck back in the day.
I gotta say, while I didn't finish it/catch up, it made me a bit more interested in cars and how they worked. That was actually really cool.

>>88499482

Anyone else want to beat the fuck out of Fred-chan for turning "I can't be bothered to ink my comic so I'll just do it in rough pencil sketches and say it's edgy" into a thing with weeaboo "artists"?

>>88499175
Did they finally fuck or not? I stopped reading this way back.

>>88507240
What does rough pencil sketches have to do with edgy?

I just realized Misfile is written in Comic Sans.
Undertale has had such a positive effect on the opinion of that font that nobody even thought to bring it up.

>>88499874
The racing shit it possibly the weirdest aspect of Misfile in my view. I read Misfile before I ever had heard of Initial D, so when I first encountered Initial D memes, then watched the show, it dawned on me how blatantly and incompetently Misfile was just regurgitating its author's own favorite series.

>>88499175
I picked this up about two months after it started and read it up to the point where Ash realized his life as a girl was better due to his relationship with his mother being possible, and being able to look around where he was and really reevaluate his life. I guess I ended when he became an official couple with Emily.
The art never improves. The story never improves. The fetish idea for the overall book theme was catchy but faded over time. I just couldn't get an idea of what the author was trying to fucking do.

A similar comic in terms of the author never improving their art over YEARS of time would be Dominic Deegan, Oracle of Hire. Rampant Sameface on almost every character, same fucking art forever, but goddamn at least the story moved along, had a purpose of where it was going and why it was headed there, and fucking ENDED when the plot reached its conclusion.
It's okay to tell the story to its end, set the pen down, and take some months off to figure out your next project. It could even be set in the same world. Just.... christ. Don't do what this guy is doing.

>>88505978
Hah, I ended up going back and poking through the archives, apparently I kept reading it up through the start of 2011 or so? Who knew!

>>88507748
>bad Initial D references
Honestly this is probably the funniest thing to laugh at the comic about. It's just so bad!

>>88500674
Thanks for the suggestion anon

>>88503080
im fine with it, i don't see a reason as to why he should do it

>>88506345
Fred-Chan lost almost every penny Megatokyo ever made when his wife got sick. The medical bills were insane. If the US had universal health care he'd probably have almost a million bucks since at one time he was pulling in over 10k a month just in merchandise on his Think Geek store plus he had pretty good book sales. Now Megatokyo only has a couple of thousand readers when it used to have over a million. People got tired of all the Dead Piro Days and a story that goes nowhere and emo bullshit replacing the funny.

He makes a living at Megatokyo but his wife requires a shit load of medical care and that eats most of the money.

It's the kind of comic that appeals to you when you're an emo weeb in high school but that shit gets old fast once you graduate college. It's the kind of thing you look back on and cringe because you can't believe you ever liked it .

>>88509483
Why does everyone call him Fred-chan?

>>88500315
>or because culturally we have moved past whatever it was that made people want to do those kinds of stories.

I don't know if that's the case, but I've recently had to introduce people to ranma 1/2, and that never would've happened in the old days.

Though that might be chalked up to it actually being old now, it's hard to say.

>>88509501

Because he gets pissy when you call him "His Weebness".

>>88509501
it started off as a sincere indulgence of his status as a 'senior weeb' when we were young but developed into a backhanded insult that highlights his refusal to grow up

>>88509553
Isn't it a bit disrespectful to call him a weeb? This guy has been fluent in Japanese longer than some people in this thread have been alive. He put the work in.

>>88509528
Better that you don't introduce them to it. That series is kind of problematic, if I'm being honest.

>>88509583
weeb isn't about pretense of knowledge. weeb is about sincerely believing that life and culture in japan is 'just better' in a way entirely divorced from reality.

>>88509593
Please. Don't try to pretend weeb hasn't transformed to "You enjoy something Japanese so you are scum in my eyes."

>>88509592
How so?

>>88499175
I liked it when I started reading webcomics 6-7 years ago, then I realized it was complete shit. My bookmark for it is untouched for 4 years.

>>88509635
I honestly don't know. I was expecting a more dramatic response.

>>88506075
The problem is that we're going from one level of crap to another level, I presume part of that is due to the Mon-Fri update schedule.

As I said, they got more realistic body/limb proportions, but the guy keeps ignoring many smaller details, like shading, thinning those fingers and giving the characters rhinoplasty surgery. Hell, just fucking coloring them in would show something, anything, to improve the quality at this point (and I'm not talking about the shitty MSPaint coloring being applied at present).

But alas, it feels like he only upped the schedule to increase his laziness with both art and story.

>>88499175
Man, even when internet comics were new there was a lot of tranny stuff.

I guess it was just a really important outlet for those feelings.

>>88499874
This.

Mud paced plot that isn't going anywhere, hasn't gone anywhere, and won't go anywhere. The day to day trials of the life of the MC and the NotGirlfriend are cute for a while, but once nothing else happens for long enough it wears thin.

>>88511128
You really think 2004 was "new" for internet comics?

>>88511151
That's what's awesome though. It really does follow their lives day by day - you get a really full picture of what it's like. It's kind of like the series Space Brothers.

>>88511234
No, not when it's the basis of the story for more than a decade at this point.

>>88500206
Garbage.

>>88500300
That's still really bad, anon.

>>88511798
Chimera Ant took a decade to finish and it's a masterpiece.

>>88512833
Yeah, but here's the thing: That series is finished, it had a goal.

At this point, I doubt Misfile even has either in mind.

>>88512833
>Chimera Ant
>Masterpiece

Ignoring that a large chunk of that decade is hiatus and HxH is nowhere near a "masterpiece," the CA arc has a story and resolution. It has rising action and a climax. It's a story, not just a series of things that happen.

Why the fuck am I kidding myself? You don't believe a damn word of what you're saying.
