To coincide with this new feature that makes it easier than ever to react to posts to and convey your feelings, we've asked a few creators to share some of their fond memories of receiving feedback.

Sharing their experience today is Gaikokujin, author of Slave Elf & Merchant!

Gaikokujin's fond memories

Move creators to tears! Send reactions using emojis!

Creators often say that feedback is the most powerful fuel and that the responses their art receives serve as their greatest motivation. On the other hand, there may be many of you who've felt that you wanted to leave a comment, but decided not to because you weren't able to find just the right words, or feared you may come off as rude.

With our new limited-time emoji feature, you can convey your feelings with just a click of an emoji. If you've come across a fantastic work, try expressing your excitement through emojis! That alone is often enough to make creators happy.

You can also create your own emojis that can convey your very personal feelings!

You can also:

・Check who sent you an emoji

・Delete emojis sent by mistake

・Search for the perfect emoji

Of course, in the event you feel that an emoji alone just won't cut it, feel free to leave any comments or messages you may have for the creators!
