I’m currently trying to figure out how to fetch the proper full feed for both Tapas and Webtoons comics - it looks like there is some anti-crawling tech in place, and the comics themselves are never exposed directly into the HTML source code, instead being fetched by a JS applet (at least in the case of Tapas). It should be possible to make a parser and add it to af_comics, right? Is there any documentation on whether it’s possible for that parser to read JavaScript?

no, there’s no JS engine and i’m never going to add something like that to tt-rss. if you can’t figure out the URL somehow using raw HTML you’re basically out of luck.
OK, so the next best thing I can think about is to reimplement the logic of the JS into a filter, that takes in the original URL and outputs the corresponding image location, is that right?

yep. that depends on how obfuscated the whole thing is. could be very easy, could be hard.
