Will Ben be fighting any Justice League villains other than Kalibak? I was wondering if we'd get to see him go up against Lobo the bounty hounter.
Oh, without a doubt. The Tennyson's summer vacation more or less just started, and they will 100% run into some of the crazies from the DC Universe as it goes on. As for Lobo, he'd only go after Ben if someone hires him to get the Omnitrix, which hasn't happened...yet.

May I ask how you promoted your webtoon and attracted more followers, reads, and likes? Is there any key to your success that you gave to any webtoon makers?
Full transparency: I'm still figuring this out as I go. I've never produced a webcomic before, and I didn't expect ALOMO to take off like it did (yes, I know how cliche this sounds, but it's the god-honest truth). I guess there's just a high demand for new Ben 10 content [cough Cartoon Network cough]
So, with my eight months of experience, my only advice is to:
A) Cast a wide net: Don't limit yourself to one social media platform. Although most of my followers are on Twitter, that hasn't stopped me from posting on other socials like Tumblr and Instagram. Not everyone is on the former Bird app.
B) Try to keep your audience updated on your progress whenever possible. This can help build hype around the comic, as it usually means it's getting another step closer to your next release. This is why I post preview images leading up to the next episode drop. It also has the added benefit of allowing me to show off Jayy's artwork outside of the Webtoon, which helps attract new readers to my socials and the series because it's just so good.
Sorry, I can't give better advice right now as I'm still a novice. If you ask me this question again in a year or two, I'd happily give you more helpful info.

During the first episode/chapter, I remember that Ben mentioned that it's the Justice League's "FIFTH ANNIVERSARY", which means the League was formed longer than a year. So, will there be more members of the Justice League than just the original 7?
Right now, it’s still just the original 7. With that said, more DC heroes will show up as the series go on, and (without getting into spoilers) the League’s roster is subject to change.

What’s the upload schedule looking like these days?
My goal is to have a new episode out every month, but sometimes life likes to throw monkey wrenches at me, which can disrupt my plans.

Is Green Lantern and Hawkgirl a couple in A League of My Own?
Not yet, but they’re on their way, and neither of them will do anything stupid to jeopardize this budding relationship at all in the future. 🙃

Will there be any relations between the Galvans, and the Kryptonians and the Green Lanterns? Or will there be a reason why the Galvans couldn't save Krypton from destruction? Does the Kryptonians knew about Omnitrix?
A certain grumpy Galvan agreed with Jor-El about Krypton's exploding problem but couldn't do anything to help because:
A) Kyrpton's Ruling Council did not care about the opinion of an outside alien regarding the state of their planet, no matter how intelligent he claimed to be.
B) The planet's totally not evil AI was "debunking" their theories with less than truthful data, which further hurt the two's arguments in the eyes of the council.
To answer your second question: not really. Jor-El was the only Kryptonian who knew about the watch until Superman found out about it with the rest of the League.

The Guardians of the universe or the new gods of "New Genesis and Apokolips" know the legend of the Omnitrix and are they interested in this device?
I can't go into any details without spoilers, but you'll get the answers to one of those questions sooner than you think.

Hi. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rush but how's the update for the next chapter?
Sorry for the radio silence, but I finally have an update that's coming soon so stay tuned. (Good News, btw.)

Are reading the latest chapter, I want to know, will Ben and Hawkgirl have a complicated friendship?
I’m not the most socially conscious person out there, but I don’t think yeeting someone into orbit is a good way to make friends (Even if it was kind of deserved) so complicated is a good way to put it 😂.

Are the Plumbers still Space Cops ala the Green Lanterns in ALOMO or are they more like the MIB?
The plumbers are more or less the same as the Prime Canon. That said, they kind of have a...complicated relationship with the Green Lantern Corp, which is something I want to expand upon later in the series.

I usually wrote down my own Ben 10/DC crossover fanfic too. I would prefer the teenage or the young adult version of Ben Tennyson to be approach by the League, but I still love your webtoon and I can't wait to see what more do you have in store!!!
While coming up with the concept of this comic, I was 50/50 on using Teen Ben (I grew up with UAF more than classic).
I decided to start with classic Ben because;
1) With all the stuff Ben went through in his hero career, in this universe, there is no way the Justice League wouldn't notice him till he's a teen, 2) I thought it'd be interesting to use the League as measuring stick to chart Ben's growth as he gains more experience.

Is the fanfic that you're making only consist 7 League members or there will be more members based on JLU? And are you gonna add more aliens on Ben's Omnitrix (based on the Classic series)?
1) Roster subject to change.
2) Yes, Ben's going to have a similar alien progression as in the Classic Series, but it's not going to be 1-to-1.

Any new aliens in this Au and second question, what is your inspiration to make A League of my own and what is your underused DC character to use for an upgrade for your Au And also I really love your webcomic I love it
1) Yes, eventually.
2) The Ink Tank/5YL, those Ben 10/DC crossover bumpers on CN, and the fact that there is a lot of creative overlap between Ben 10 and DC. (Ex. In Alien Force Season 3, Vilgax references a Doomsday line from Justice League Unlimited.)
3) Spoilers :)

Do you need help or assistance for your peojects? I'll be happy to help you out...
Right now, no, I have the series under control. If in the future I do need help, I’ll put out a call on social media, but now I’m good. Thanks for the offer though.
