Apart from pairings, which are a potential pitfall (though it doesn't necessarily seem to hurt the romance webtoons), I think an anthology webtoon is the absolute opposite of what would work. It's not a common format in the platform, and it's just too much of a "you can jump off here" problem. It's why I think almost all of DC's anthology series are super, super dead.
It's not the romance, it's the anthology. I think they should just commit to making romance a part of one of their series to see how it goes.
I wish they'd do something like they did with the Walmart books - have a link or page or something advertising the LCS in the final panel of he webtoon.
But on the whole, I think it really is more about getting eyeballs and hearts invested in these characters, rather than necessarily growth in a specific market. And I think they do probably have a decent revenue from coin spending.
I also think that in 10-20 years, when people who fell in love with the webtoons grow up, there's a chance you'll see what happened with BTAS and the Teen Titans cartoon - they influence the creators, which influences the comics.
That is a very good idea. Let's hope DC has that good idea too!

Honestly, if webtoon readers can digest romances set in fantasy worlds and survival horrors then a superhero world shouldn't be too complicated.
Some people find romance plotlines annoying or distracting which is fair. But I don't get people who act like it's difficult for superhero stories to do them. It's been done before, especially in animated series like sailor moon, danny phantom, miraculous, and now superman.

NYCC 2022: Webtoon reveals programming and panel schedule
WEBTOON + DC: Building a New Generation of Fans and Heroes (Thursday, Oct. 6 at 4:45pm ET; Room 406.1) – Featuring David Lee, VP of WEBTOON U.S., Marie Javins, Editor-in-Chief of DC, and the creative teams from some of the most popular DC/WEBTOON titles. Moderated by Rosie Knight, host, producer and writer at Den of Geek.
I will say, the Red Hood Outlaws series has been pretty fun so far.
Sounds cool! I bet they will. I bet they will also announced Wayne Family Adventures season 2, since that series is a runaway success.
