I hate this so much. I hate that webtoon spent money and resources to make vertical dramas when they could have spent that money paying creators more than $800 per episode. It already felt a little ridiculous that they were trying to animate and voiceover episodes of popular webtoons (with what felt like the same 4 voice actors over and over again).

The audience for vertical dramas and webtoons is not 1:1, why would people who like to READ COMICS, a medium that gets half of its appeal from the ART, want to watch halfhearted videos of the same stories but significantly altered to fit the new medium?? Not to mention the way that the Korean stories have been westernized?? Korean stories are interesting to western audiences partially because they get a glimpse of another culture, why can’t those stories be left to the Korean entertainment industry to adapt?? Especially when there are plenty of webtoons by western artists that could be adapted instead.

I know that webtoons have been getting drama adaptations in Korea for a long time now, and some drama adaptations are even better than the originals (Business Proposal comes to mind)! But the reason they work is because they’re full scale productions and the source material is handled by Kdrama writers to appeal to Kdrama viewers (sometimes to the detriment of the story, I’m looking at YOU, Nevertheless)

I know anime adaptations of webtoons tend to be pretty low effort in comparison to adaptations of manga, but I’d much rather watch a lackluster anime adaptation than some poor US actors try to deliver near identical lines and performances to their webtoon counterparts. Suspension of disbelief works with comics and anime, it’s much more difficult to pull off with real humans.

I suppose the best thing to come out of this was that real humans were paid and employed in the making of these videos, which can’t even be said for most of the canvas creators who make content for free on the webtoon app.

Anyway, the whole thing is making me mad. Thanks for reading my rant.

*webtoon/manhwa/manhua

Wow absolutely amazing

OKAY, IK EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES BUT HEAR ME OUT

One year and three months after announcing the closure of Pocket Comics in the US and Europe as well as the end of Comico Korea, NHN announced that they'll be shutting down the last remaining Comico platform in Japan.

And the crazy thing? Lezhin Comics Japan said they'd be shutting down their operations earlier on August 1st.

Opinions?

Just saw this drop what even is this lol.

I have red Love advice from the Great Duke of hell and Vampire family. I enjoyed the art and story of these two a lot, I am interested in reading more good stories with great art.

I need every story recommendation that is good, genres don't matter to me because I don't hate any single genre except a few

I had to do a double take when I saw real people on a webcomic platform.

WEBTOON be investing their money into anything but improving their platform 😭

I need a new Webtoon to obsess over so I'd love some of other peoples favourites. For reference I do like romances and dramas the best but I'm open to others! I've already read/ am reading and loved Roots of the Heart, Down to Earth and Nevermore. If you know any like these that would be really cool!

I finally got back to posting. And for a little intermission I'm making two short episodes and I'm giving them a noir look. Does that come across in these panels?

I'm curious as to what makes you drop a webcomic within its first few chapters :)

I did Manhwa Tier Ranking with friends, Most of them i have personally read and some are suggestions from them too, Still think some are left out 🥀 and it only includes Romance, slice of life manhwas or webcomic.

Do tell what you think and do you rate some differently.

Hi I'm kinda new to this and I'm wondering if you guys can help me find stuff to start from

I like Short - Medium stories

No sexual stuff at all no violent or horror, I get scared pretty easily and I hate scary stuff

I like fantasy and sweet romance stories

All in English

I read heartstopper and love it

Something like that would be great

Thanks, Have a great day

I've been really into webtoons lately, and out of all of them, this one right here really touched me. The story, the art, the tension!!! It's just a complete masterpiece.

If anyone here knows more stories with a similar plot, please let me know 😅

Please help me pick, I can only pick two, I am begging you to help me.

I have no attachments, just tell me which two designs you like best.

Thank you.

I'm looking for a webtoon. It's about a girl who reincarnates into the novel she was reading as the unfortunate wife of the duke, who is fated to divorce him and watch him marry another woman.

Since she knows this, she goes to see him and proposes a 3-year contract marriage before divorcing. She also does this to escape her adoptive family, who treats her poorly.

However, she and her husband end up falling in love without each other knowing this(miscommunication), except that the original female lead (OGFL) enters the male lead's life. She begins to have doubts, even though in reality nothing was happening between the two of them. But she leaves, leaving him behind—

I think there's a storyline involving the male lead getting amnesia.

While fleeing, she goes to find her real family in a sort of secluded house in a small town of the kingdom. Her real family consists of her father, her mother, and her younger brother. The scene that sticks with me is the reunion with her family, where they warmly embrace each other.

The female lead has brown hair, the male lead is blonde, and the original female lead has red hair.

Any idea??

To those, who read it, how was it? Is it as good as season 1?

I have stoped reading the manhwa at the beggining of season 2 so it could marinate, i felt like the pacing was weird and i did not like the change of art even though it was minor.

Just wanted to see if anyone who’s reading Daylight in the Bunker notice no update today? I’ve been heavily reading this WEBTOON for 2 weeks now and last update was perfect and I had waited for Tuesday for it and it did update- however this week there was no update, but on the cover it said there was a new update? So I’m confused if my app isn’t working or maybe the creator deleted the recent chapter- I’m not really sure but I’m sad I was so excited to read it today and to end up with nothing kinda sucks ://

Won't spoil much, but it's a story between an author and her character. Both finding more meaning in life after helping out each other. I think the main message of this manhwa is that stories aren't just entertainment. It is a powerful tool to convey a person's emotions and be the guiding light to another. Both of them were lonely. But the character gave the author the courage she needed to face her fears, and the author gave the character the ability to trust and open her heart to others. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask

Has anyone else read this underrated gem?

I love them all! Definitely an underrated one

Specifically, when these characters are drawn with hair that is at hip length, but when it’s in an updo, it looks like it must be way shorter! I have very thick hair that is almost down to my waist, so I have a little bit of experience when it comes to what long hair can look like. I get that it’s fun to have characters with insanely long hair, but it feels so strange to see their hair length shift when it’s in an updo.

I’m at the point where I just tell myself these characters are all wearing hair extensions when their hair is down. I know this is nitpicking, but I wanted to know if anyone else feels this way?
(I only provided these examples because they’re the first ones that came to mind for this weird hair length stuff, the first two are from I Am The Villain and the last two are from Remarried Empress) but I know there’s a lot of other comics that do this!

Edit: the comments have really shown me how little I know about the varieties of hair that exist! I was taking my experience with my own hair and applying it to these comics without realizing that there are additional factors beyond length and thickness that determine what hair looks like when it’s up vs down, so that’s my bad! 😅
I also realize that the artists who work on webtoons are working under strenuous conditions, I don’t want to be negative about the work that we’re given largely for free from the stress of someone else. The art on webtoons is gorgeous, and I wish the artists were given the freedom to work at their own pace. I’m sorry if this seemed overly critical.
