Best Korean webtoons (manhwa)?
I'm addicted to Korean webtoons right now, and I want some more. I'm currently reading Noblesse and it's amazing; however, it's starting to get a little repetitive at around chapter 200, so I was thinking of picking up another. Please remember that I want WEBTOONS, which are usually colored and published in long strips. Could you give me your opinions on these: Tower of God God of Highschool Kubera and if you know any others please speak up ^.^ thanks!
What is the difference between a korean Webtoon and a Manhwa?
They come from the same place I believe. A webcomic is often cartoonish (style of drawing) and colored. They are usually updated once a week. A mahwa is somewhat like a manga (comic without color). A mahwa is read different from a manga, left to right (as with the webcomic).
Any good korean webtoon suggestions?
I dont mind if its not translated in english, but i want some good webtoons to read. I like fantasy and mysteries and on naver im already reading a lot of webtoons that are going so i want a recommendation for something completed. In daum, i dont mind if its ongoing or completed. On daum i really liked metronome so i want something like that with mystery and fantasy. The more suggestions the better. Thanks

How are South Korean webtoons any different from the usual webcomics?
Just like the huge range of webcomics that exist in English, the range of Korean webtoons is massive, so it's difficult to speak for all of them.But as a rule of thumb....1. Professionalism. It's a job, not a hobby. Some webcomic artists make money for their work (and treat their webcomic as their primary source of income), but a lot do not. In Korea, most webtoons are serialised after a contract with Naver/Daum/Lehzin Comics etc. In this aspect, it operates like the online version of the Japanese system of serialised manga.2. Quality. As a result of this professionalism, a lot of them are 'better'. Obviously a lot of this is subjective, but as a fairly enthusiastic consumer of both webcomics in English and webtoons in Korean, I would say that the quality in general, but especially with artwork, is superior with webtoons. It's also due to the fact that most series only update once a week, whilst many webcomic artists would upload several times a week, some even daily. The volume of each update is also larger with webtoons. Also due to the stability of the webtoon being a job that pays, I think more webtoon artists are incentivised to start big, fancy projects, series that will go on for years. This allows for good plots and planned progression of the narrative. If you've seen the range of (illegally) translated webtoons available in English, it might be difficult to believe, but the range and scope of some webtoons are remarkably complex and the quality excellent. My guess is that in a few years, the K-pop boom will also encompass webtoons and they'll have an international fanbase in the same way as manga. 3. Money. There are more webtoons than webcomics that you have to pay for. Lehzin Comics, one of the biggest forces in the webtoon industry right now, is a prime example of this. Some popular works on primarily free platforms like Naver and Daum also become pay-per-view upon finishing serialisation. This is in part due to...4. Publication. From what I understand, most webcomic artists publish small-scale, or independently for fan-meetings. In contrast, a lot of popular webtoons are published by large publishing houses and sold in non-specialist bookstores.5. Mainstream pop culture. Webtoons on platforms like Naver are mainstream in ways that are frankly unimaginable for webcomics. Many have been made into films and dramas, and they become cultural icons and references in the same way as TV shows, movies or novels.
What are some good webtoons/manga?
I have just recently(as in two minutes ago) finished the first season of Trace by Nasty Cat. At first I was skeptical of the series because it was a webtoon, which I had never really read anything but serialized manga, and because the art style and story was so different. But I continued on and I was pleasantly surprised by the story and character development and I was glued to it until the very end. I definitely consider it one of my favorite mangas(through I guess technically it is a manhwa since it's Korean) of all time and I highly recommend it. Wow that was a long intro, but finally here's my question. Does anyone have any recommendations for any webtoons that are good? I want to give some other webtoons a try and see if I have the same pleasant experience. I am specifically looking for webtoons, not serialized manga, because I have already researched and read a lot of manga out there. I would also prefer a webtoon that is in "manga style" like Trace is. Genre isn't too important as long as it's interesting. I have already started reading ubunchu and MegaTokyo. Any suggestions are appreciated and thank you in advance.
