Reasons I have seen webcomic authors publicly cite for cancelling their comic mid-storyline:
- Too busy
- Lost interest
- Increasing age gap between characters and author made it difficult to relate
- Did the math and figured out that completing the planned arc with their current update schedule would take 150 years
- Ostensible author actually a fictional persona that’s now being retired, and they didn’t want the comic linked to their real identity
- Realised that the way they’d written the central relationship wasn’t emotionally genuine (note: this was a hobbit porn comic)
- The comic’s readership contained too many lesbians
- Converted to a religion that regards all representational art as a form of idolatry
- Broke up with the person the protagonist was based on
- Outed as not actually Japanese
- Imprisoned for manslaughter
- Aliens
