FOOD FOR THOUGHT/FOOD FOR TALK/ FOOD FOR DISCUSSION #3!!!!!!!! : SIMULATION, SIMULATION, SIMULATION!!!!!!
So you have your chosen concept and you are aware of your demographic so your writing commences. This process i would say is the most conflicting. You can write your first chapter in full but to reach that point you had to imagine several scenarios to carry across your points to make a simple yet compelling first chapter for a grand story in mind. To add structure to this you can always reference guides; genre, tone, theme, concepts other artistic works
Even when that first chapter is created its natural to have several edits after especially after you feel its complete.
Many established managaka published multiple oneshots of their story and they are quite different from the last. And its ok to have those processes. How I'd describe this process would be like a romantic relationship with someone difficult to love and creating that dynamic which works.
I believe the standard for a good manga has been set with the many stories that are appreciated by the masses so its now all about curating your standards so that it can be parallel to those (parallel because you can offer your own unique perspectives)
Also to note; reference guides also change but it all comes down to what you like and want for your story
