What’s your favorite type of main character?

I personally love mcs who missed out on being a kid because of responsibilities they really shouldn’t be dealing with

Why is making a webtoon so tough?? I decide to do flat coloring to save time, does it look good?

This is my upcoming webtoon. Working on ep1 and will launch in June hopefully!

I think I found reason why "annoying" female characters are more hated than murderers (pick me up)

I thought it was weird that female "annoying" characters were hated more than murderers.genre isn't problem.I'm also lookism fan and crystal and jiho were more hated then other villains.and I realised resasons. sometimes it's only one or all reason:

1.mysoginy-most murderers are actually male handosme characters,so fans defend handsom male characters,but they are strict to every action of female characters

2.**rivaly-**if that character is rival of favorite female character."annoying" female character is more openly hated with hypocretical arguments

3.judge-many reader don't read manhwa for story and character. they read ir for drama and artstyle. so if character seems "annoying" even if she is like that with good reason,people just hates them

4.weakness-many fan who loves strong female characters,annoying girls are presented as pick me and weak

they are reasons of their hatred,especially third.that's why many manhwas which became popular with female characters like that are so hated and "annoying" characters are like them are loved amd emphatized such as rashta from TRE,crystal from lookism,ohara from strpmother's marchen,ellen from how to get my husband back. after growing and reading more manhwa's readers could undarstand plot and characters more

Where did the Super Like Ranking Board go? How are Canvas creators surviving this drop in

Hey everyone,

I noticed recently that the Super Like ranking board completely disappeared from my WEBTOON app interface.

that ranking board was honestly one of many canvas creators discovery. It helped them pull in a huge chunk of their monthly subscribers.

Does anyone know if this is a permanent UI update or just a temporary bug?

Also, for Canvas artists who were relying on the Super Like ranks for visibility—how are you guys pivoting your promotional strategy now? What’s the best way to trigger the algorithm and get back on the "Popular by Genre" charts without it?

Which completed series knocked it out of the park and took it home for you?

New webtoons just don’t seem to be able to hold on to the plot (or my attention span) for as long as they drag on. Which completed series was so good, you can easily go back and reread the series and still find it interesting?

I’ll go first:

Cheese in the Trap
Girls of the Wilds
Super Secret
Hooky
The Wolf & Red Riding Hood
Sirens Lament
Eaternal Nocturnal
Unholy Blood
Hooves of Death
Trapped
Anything by Carnby Kim

Does anyone else get this vibe when reading modern lookism?

Does anyone else ever get Thai vibe from lookism?

Like, the fact thay have gotton ride of almost all the female characters.

It does kind of make the Webtoon feel kind of like gay gang violence especially the last arc

Just finished Surviving Romance

Okay okay okay I’m a couple years late to the comic- but I read it all in one day and when I tell you I was SOBBING OMG, this was such a beautiful story. I was pleasantly surprised by the uplifting message and even more suprised by the romance curve ball I was thrown?! It was actually a breath of fresh air. There wasn’t a ML for the FL and instead the second male lead got with a different character… AND I LOVEDDDDD THEM TOGETHER. Their dynamic was one of my favorites. This is def like… one of my fav manwahs- (I have too many favorites atp 🫠)

Webtoon: Surviving Romance
Status: Completed

Just your kind reminder that this flawless specimen has no gender

[On The Way To Meet Mom]

I've seen a lot of people calling them 'he', and I was someone who did that too early on, only to actually FOCUS on the dialogue and realise that Ryder's always referred to without gender specific pronouns. Just wanted to put that out there.

How long are you willing to wait for a new chapter to come out?

I mainly ask because I think it's INSANE how some creators can make something in a week and make their deadline. I've seen people who get exhausted from a schedule like that ESPECIALLY if they're a one person team. So this got me thinking...

If you knew an indi creator is a one person team (writing, drawing, coloring, ect.) and the story is REALLY GOOD, how long would you legitimately wait for before your like "Yeah they're never coming back to finish." :(

I know for One Punch man, chapters slowed down to 1ish chapters every few months but it was because they were covering an insane arch and Merada was putting in some incredible work for the art. But would you wait that long?

just wanted to appreciate how beautiful the art in spell for smith is

this is one of my top five webtoons and it is just so casually gorgeous sometimes just wanted to share my appreciation for the art. I am catching up to the recent chapters and came across these panels and was just in awe for a bit. they aren't super fancy but still really pretty

u/drakon_wyrm — 1 day ago

recs similar to Vampire Meets Huntress ?

I’m looking for a new manhwa that’s similar to this one. One with a great art style & funny story. I love reading this and i’ve re-read it at least like 19 times honestly. Does anyone know silly, funny & gorgeous manhwa’s like this?

[The Academy's Undercover Professor] Where do i begin...

Here's your review with a few more paragraph breaks to improve readability, while keeping all your original wording, capitalization for emphasis, and corrected grammar and punctuation exactly as they were:

---

I was surprised both ways by this series. I wasn't looking for much, just something to pass the time.

The first few chapters were a BORE to read through. It followed the generic formula: introduce stuff as you go, as if it was something that was already there from the beginning; conveniently introduce something just to make the plot move forwards. The villains are generic, with not much to talk about. The MC is overpowered and has layers of power levels that he chooses not to use.

BUT there were things I indeed LOVED about the series.

For starters, NO WOMAN WAS UNNECESSARILY SEXUALIZED, which in the world of webtoons is a BIG step forwards. Every single one of them feels like their own person without the need to be centered around a romantic relationship specifically.

And even if you call out how a lot of the women seem to have a good bit of their problems solved by the MC and therefore feel indebted to him, it goes both ways; the men feel the same thing. A good bit of women are capable combatants and have their own arcs that they are going through. Hell, going to be honest, it's one of the first times when I read a series and it just feels like the men are flat as hell and only serve as cardboard cutouts.

Hans and the MC just feel very servant and master-ish, and being honest, their dynamic just makes Hans boring as hell—like, hella predictable. Is he a good character? Ehh, I don't know. He has all of the great semblances of one, being the informant and being literally the guy that makes everything the MC does possible, but beyond that I don't feel like there is anything that draws me to him beyond the other characters, even after the almost 3 seasons I spent with him.

Now, the latest arc of the second season was BOMB, but being honest, I feel like one of the best ways that they have written fixing a misunderstanding ever was like swept under the rug in a moment's notice.

And even though Casey More finally understands what ACTUALLY happened, it just feels like the emotional weight of it all was destroyed by a scene RIGHT AFTER it happened. Hell, I feel like it should've been more of a character shift for Casey to understand what actually happened. I mean, if your view of yourself and someone you know to be x, x, and x was so completely shattered and you were SO WRONG, I feel like it would be more and more hurtful, especially with Casey's (still) heavily inflated ego.

Now onto the main character.

I have him as a "good" morally grey main character, but he just falls into the "I like them so even if they were bad they can live / I don't like them so if they're bad they must die", which for once is one of the most real things I've seen in a while.

But all of the interesting parts of his character are hidden to keep the audience interested, and I just feel like the plot that goes along to stop us from actually figuring out what is going on in the story can't carry the story like they think it can. The dialogue is nothing to write home about, and the character interactions and dynamics only exist between Casey and the MC, and then nobody else.

And all suspicion that the MC might be somebody else has stalled for SO LONG that it just feels like there is nothing that great that would happen.

There have been almost 3 SEASONS of chapters and it feels like the stakes don't really raise that much since the MC has SOOO much more experience than everybody else that every single situation is something that he can navigate through without most issues.

And I get it, it's a webtoon, probably an adaptation, and they gotta satisfy the badass male power fantasy somehow. But even so, you can do both.

You have the characters, you have the setting, the story could be SOOO MUCH BETTER DEVELOPED ONLY WITH THE ELEMENTS IT HAS NOW.

How the hell do you wipe a gang OVERNIGHT and don't IMMEDIATELY create a power vacuum that creates EVEN MORE DEATHS than the original gang working?

It feels like the consequences are way too linear and there are no branching paths that would make things worth it, and it just feels like what happened with Esmeralda was written to bail out the MC from making a choice that would upset the readers.

TL;DR: read the series, has potential, could be better.
