There are multiple types of series on Tapas, ranging from community comics, premium comics, Tapas Creator Fund, early access, Tapas orginal, and Tapas Exclusive
Tapas community comics are comics that creators on Tapas have made. They aren't affilated with Tapas, but they can earn Ad Revenue and Support Revenue.
Premium comics are mainly the ones that are translated by Tapas staff. The majority of Tapas site and income comes from these. Tapas mainly translated Korean and Mandarin to English. These comics are also pay to read, costing 250 to 375 after One Tap. You usually can't donate to these comics since the creator isn't in the US. I hope they'll change that though, since it'll make Tapas more promising to Korean and Chinese creators. (And we'll have more ways to support them!)
Tapas Creator Fund comics are community comics that Tapas has reached out to and partnered with. These comics will earn additional bonuses for the amount of monthly views they get on their comics. These comics are free to read just like community comics.
Early Access comics are community comics that have partnered up with Tapas. I'm not entirely sure if Tapas has any of the comic's IP with this partnership, but it's basically like a fast pass on Webtoon. The lastest few chapters can be read early if you purchase it. You'll still be able to read the early access chapters for free, but you might have to wait a few weeks.
Tapas Orginals are comics made by creators that Tapas have partnered with. These creators work with Tapas and I'm pretty sure that Tapas owns the majority of the comic's IP. The Beginning After the End is a Tapas Original. These comics are also pay to read, but you can support the creators as well.
Tapas Exclusives basically Tapas Orginals, except the comic is created with Tapas. These are ususally independent artists that have signed a contract with Tapas to only post exclusively on their site. These comics are pay to read and you usually can support these creators as well.
If there are anymore types of Tapas series out there, please let me know, I'm not a huge expert these kinds of topics
