Hello there, ladies and gentlemen, the genderless, and eldritch beings who are yet undecided.

Coming in today with a bit of an announcement. My Webtoon has officially been released on Webtoon.com!

Link: https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/the-primal-hunter/list?title_no=5970 

Very exciting day all around, despite my morning being screwed up by the power company deciding to cut a cable, forcing me to work on my laptop for a few hours while trying to restore a Word file. But enough about that, Primal Hunter webtoon hype!

The webtoon does have some story and artistic changes (Jake is definitely less in shape, and wearing glasses was not in the original version), but so far, the response seems pretty good. At least, I hope people like it, as people not liking stuff related to your story sucks. Even if I was not that involved in the creative process, as you people already keep me busy posting chapters all the time, I, needless to say, still want it to do well.

This leads me to the utterly shameless part of this announcement/marketing-like post. I implore you, my loyal readers, to go forth to Webtoon.com, click on the novel, and give it a read. Even if you don’t feel like reading it or are critical of the adaptation, at least help your good friend Zogarth out and give the story a follow and a rating. Also, on a totally unrelated note, did you know even 9-stars is considered low on Webtoon? Crazy, right, that you need 10-star ratings to not be considered bad. It would really suck if Webtoon decided the webtoon is bad, as that would mean no more seasons and less money/exposure for me. I like both those things. So getting 10-star ratings would be really nice. Where was I again?

Oh yeah, and if you wonderful people would also leave some comments shamelessly shilling the fact there is also a book version of the comic, I would find that entirely acceptable. Encouraged, even.

Also, I may as well put this here and do a double-whammy announcement. I am taking off the 25th and 26th of December as well as Jan 1st this year. So, yeah, there will be a few chapters in between Christmas and New Year for all you greedy bastards. That’s three days I could have totally taken off, so view that as a nice little Christmas present! Only rude people don’t return gifts, and the only thing I want this year is for the webtoon to do well. Anyway, that’s all for today.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and blessed (True Blessing) Promote-My-Webtoon Day.- Zogarth

YYOOOOOOOOOOO WEBTOON?!

Azareck

I just noticed it last night, not too sure why Jacob is called Adam though

ButterflEye

Calling us greedy bastards after shilling for shame and I’m already rating it 10 so bite me

Acaelus

I blew through every episode the second they sent out the notification last night. The second I saw the shot of The King I started salivating with anticipation knowing what’s coming. Haha

Zogarth

Because apparently Jake and Jacob are too similar and confuse people. My publisher also originally wanted me to change the name :P

Goehlnik

Super happy for you that you got a webtoon now 🥳 I've got one question tho and i am genuinely interested why the change was made: Why was Jacobs name changed to Adam? Or is Adam a different person i completly forgot about?

Thenais

Thx for the gift !

ssbm83

Probably too many J names, Jake is already kind of a diminutive of Jacob.

Red45jimster

Did Jake always have glasses

hocusfire

does it have solo leveling type of artwork?

Spinolox

I’m now wondering if Caleb still exists and if he does, the new name of Jake’s nephew

2026-09-05 04:00 It’s cool to see the story animated. But why is Jacob called Adam now? And I thought Joanna was older or am I remembering wrong? Not bad but it feels like it was turned into a Korean webtoon and tried to make it homogeneous as possible, in my mind your characters always felt diverse even if not outright stated. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’ll read more though before I decide… if it ends up being all white washed tho… 😬

I read the freely available pages of the webcomic and liked it a lot. I think the adaptation and small changes to events, even Jacobs name to Adam. Keep up the good work, and don’t worry. I was sure to leave ten stars and subscribed to the comic.

StuBee3

Cool! I downloaded the app and followed. So far I really like it. 😎

Shadowessence

I am happy and sad, some of the changes irk me. Everyone is gonna,notice Adam. But the nught watch scene, it should have been the hunt scene because he makes a good point. This way it makes it seem like he is making excuses. And Bertum not being older is so weird lol. But I am totally going to read it anyways

Kurby

There's a star rating system on webtoon? And it goes up to 10 stars? Why!?!?!

JustSomeGuy

True it’s very good so far I’ve read all that’s available on WEBTOON it is a bit weird that Jacob is the only name change though

Matthew Paulin

Why did Jacob become Adam? That's an odd thing to change.

One Winged Angel

oh i actually agree with this change, Jacob and Jake just sound the same to me, so switching to Adam helps.

Specter

No, never as far as I remember. But sometimes with webtoon/comic/etc. adaptations they need to lean on stereotypes associated with certain things to set up the story better since the format is less info dense

Tyler S.

To imilorate any confusion or irritation there may have been

Tyler S.

Different artist but still pretty good, and always room to improve

Tyler S.

I unfortunately haven't kept up on webtoon as much lately and only realized here

Justin Blade

Early on I would get confused when the pov would change between the two so that's probably why

Justin Blade

Pretty sure it's because it can be confusing in a story to have two major characters with very similar names. I know when I first started reading I would get Jake and Jacob confused. Granted, it probably wouldn't be as big a deal in visual medium like a webtoon

Micah Molina

As one of the Greedy Bastards I greatly approve! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and to all my fellow greedy commentors!

Micah Molina

Hopefully this means that Jakob with K from the Alliance in the Tressure Hunt is now changed to Addam with two d's, so Jake can make the quip about making things easier for everyone to remember. Two Adams would be weird!

Shukketsu

I am most certain that the first time I will see Villy in the Webtoon I will get whiplash from how different he will look compared to my imagination because I mostly forget appearance factors in the 16 dozen stories I read in parallel

Arkenian

I feel like the webtoon is setting up Caroline's betrayal of Jake to be more personal but also way more sympathetic. Also kinda sad they didn't really build the jake/Casper bond up. But loving to see it so far.

wartgalore

Thanks for changing some of the names!!

Otaku23

I don't remember Jake being so social awkward he came off as just not caring in the book

Otaku23

That is what I was thinking it's a running joke that there are so many people with the same name or similar names

Kyler

I love the shameless self promotion, feels more human to me and relatable

TokenOfGreed

I read the first few chapters and it’s alright. Happy to say that the book is hundreds of times better than the WEBTOON, as is usual. Will definitely get better as time goes on.

Ty Cooper

Happy for you to get the webtoon deal going. Sorry but the change of Jacob's name was to much for me. I will stick to the audio books and here. Happy you have more avenues to get people drawn to Primal Hunter.

ItsFin

Honestly Jacob is too close to Jake, I liked it too, but Adam is closer to Auger and they usually call him by the title anyway.

ItsFin

Even if youre right they may change some things. Im not a fan of The King of The Forest not getting his ivory appendages. He looks so cool in cover art

MilkTheShark

I enjoyed the part of the webtoon where Jake said "its time to get primal" and then he hunted those apexes

Mownmbasa

Merry X-mass and Happy holidays to you too!

ShivaMcTimber

Webtoon is great so far. Jacob is now Adam…and THAT paunch! Jake is like a cat so we should call it his Primal Pouch! So when is the Anime coming?

Wyatt creppel

Man I hope they make an anime out of this, it would be sooooo good to watch

halfknight

you heard the man time to go shamelessly promote 🫡

Šarūnas

Yeah, I also think they changed his name because Jake and Jacob where to similar.

Michael Dugan

Sorry, I couldn't get into it. Too many changes from the books.

Seen Death

(I manually check for chapters, so i didnt know stuff came out 12 hrs ago) but im definitely more of a word guy compared to comics... anyways maybe a suggestion to Zogarth saying its a "spin off" of primal hunter or something, if theres so many core changes? Like even jake wearing glasses even throws a potential wrench into what that means for sim jake: the assassin who can dodge bullets... and jakes enire build is based on perception so having poor eye sight might not seem like a big deal but it kind of messes with his identity (although evolving grades can heal/improve stuff, and maybe sim jake just used contacts? but still... u get my idea) - reminder to readers: it is worth remembering that jake used to be a professional archer, but due to an injury his physical capabilities were greatly limited. I do find it fitting he was physically not in the best shape (he was 'destined' to die on his first monster encounter, afterall) :: i do wish the best for Zogarth and ill give the comic a shot- ive never been into comics, sadly tho

hill44

Was exited until I went to read it, then I realized its got that typical Webtoons thing of a vertical layout where you cant even see an entire scene without scrolling, not even in portrait mode. If im gonna read a comic, I dont want to spend most of my time scrolling and not able to see the entire scene the dialog belongs to or all a character being in frame on a closeup. I dont even mind the changes story wise, its kind of needed when adapting a book to other media, but that layout is a deal breaker for me. Its the second time in recent months a story I support on Patreon has had a comic adaptation ruined along side Salvos with, what for me, is a crappy layout.

SpectreHarlequin

I read all 3 chapters. I think it's pretty cool, I've only read a few other web tools, but I hope this catches on.

Sam Rosenberg

I love the Webtoon! And the changes are fine vs the book

BuccoBruce

For me it was portraying Jake as grinning like a psycho with red eyes lying in blood that turned me off a bit. Jake was exhilarated and loved the feeling of coming out on top of a life and death situation, but him having a beyond- cartoonish, psycho smile indicates this adaptation is going to be more immature than the story from the books

Reyhulko

I'm sorry, but the Webtoon is not 4 me, too many changes on the story, even important parts from the beginning. I Can't consider it the same story, but just a bad done reboot. I like webtoons and i had great expectations for this one, but afther reading it i'm only sad and disappointed

Myke

I enjoy the webtoons. I think the people complaining miss the point of “adaptation”. It is not going to be the exact same. They haven’t changed who Jake is or anything important. Just details.

Ichor Cell

They made him fat, gave him bad eyesight and made him want to be in a relationship. Literally the opposite of his character.

Myke

The book never described his body build. Having a gut & glasses are irrelevant, they will clear up as he levels/evolves. He had a thing for Cassandra in the 1st book & wasn’t happy leaving her with Jacob because he knew what would happen.

Bert Peeters

Yeah webtoon is kinda bad sorry for saying it but it needs a rewrite and a bit of a polish art wise

wintoch

Jacob is adam and they removed the cousins from the story. I personally couldn't get into the webtoon. but hope you enjoy it. Love the audio book though

Marcel Diaz

My biggest issue was that they'd never looked at the anatomy of a bow. How his string attaches is moronic. And the top of the quiver is the same height as his head. So the arrows are higher. Artist has to research at least 5 or 10 minutes.

Myke

This is satirical right?

Stephen Kabes

So.. when is he coming back to write more for patreon? I dont want the series to end!!!

Peter Van Ostran

He has 10 perception... why is he wearing glasses!?!

Loststar7

As the WEBTOON is what finally brought me here I have no complaints. Keep being awesome.
