| It's not manga, its a korean comic. The style of drawing and writing can be very different. Essentially manhwa is to manga as cartoon is to anime. Yet they are listed together on MAL. Would you dismiss a *good* story because it is manhwa and not manga? |

| No, I read them anyway. Although, I don't read that many because I hate the format of it (fucking long strips), I hate the artstyles most of the time and of course, memorizing the names is a pain. |

You listed anything that I don't like about them. Still pretty good tho, just prefer manga. Though after watching K-drama and Korean movies I've gotten used to the names a bit. |
 |
| Why should I care? |
 |
| I used to because many are self-published, but then I checked out a couple and now I'm more willing to checking one out instead of just outright passing over it. |

| If it is in the same format as manga - then no, though I am not that inclined to pick it up either. If you talk about webmanhwa, then yeah: I don't like the format, the art, even if colored, is less detailed than in manga, and I usually end up not liking the plots (somewhat simplistic, somewhat teen angsty). There's been a couple I liked, so I may try reading something that has couaght my attention, but usually I am unenthusiactic. I am not sure, but I suspect it is aimed at teens and at reading from phone, and both are not my cup of tea. |
| I like the fact that they're read vertically. I believe manga should be the same. Those anatomy lessons taught me that it's easier for the human eye to follow and sequence things moving in such a manner. Action scenes feel more fast paced. But remembering the Korean names is much harder than I thought, no offence to any Koreans. Maybe because I'm more used to japanese names from anime and manga. |
| I actually own a couple manwha. I got them because I was familiar with the subject matter (World of Warcraft) and I thought it was manga at first because of the style and format. I realized it wasn't when it turned out that it was read left-to-right instead. I'm not a fan of the format of webmanwha, where they are really long vertically, but otherwise I'm generally fine with them. I haven't read a lot of them though, so I can't say much for their subject matter. |
 |
| If it's traditional manhwa I'll read it if it sounds interesting. The art can be exquisitely detailed and beautiful. I have a couple manhwa in my favorites and the girl in my signature is from a manhwa. Haven't read any webcomics or webmanhwa though as I'm not a fan of their format and their art is too basic/simplistic and just doesn't appeal to me. Appilesh said: It's not manga, its a korean comic.

Hate to break this to you but manga is nothing more than Japanese comics and anime are cartoons. |

| Nope, names might feel a bit weird to read but that's all. |
 |
| No, I own a few myself. When I bought my first manga, I only realized much later it was in fact a manhwa |
 |
| they are not to bad, i wouldnt dismiss anything though |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| nope. There are a lot of interesting manhwa. |
| Presuming there was a manwha I wanted to read, I'd do it. Almost did it once, but was not what I was looking for. Don't really care about things like "interesting" or "good" when I choose things. They're just meaningless buzzwords. |
| they take longer to load each page on my phone, so yeah. when i have fast internet and a pc i read them |
| No, never. One of my all time favourite mangas of all time is a manhwa (Ares). It doesn't matter where it's from or how it's drawn for me as long as it's good. |

| Not even, over the last few months I've been reading more and more manhwa and I've been enjoying each read. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Why should you? Yeah you read in a different panel order but other than that's it's pretty much the same. Different names due to the Korean origin I guess but that's a hardly a reason either |
  |
| Does anyone dismiss them for that reason? lol Sounds so silly. Manhwa can be great and terrible, just like any other story medium. |
   |
| Manwha, in my experience, tend to be more more interesting. Naver is a better place to be creative than shonen jump. Japans Mangas have become repetetive in recent years. Manwhas and Manchuas (wich are not the same as webcomics btw) are a breath of fresh air. |

| I'm considering reading Tower of God. So I'm open to the idea. |
 |
| I used to. I blame Tokyopop, they pushed the hell out of their OEL and it came off as being knockoff manga (because most of their OEL were garbage, though a few were good to be fair), and manhwa, also being read left to right, certainly came off the same way. But now I know what I've been missing. Some garbage, sure, but garbage manga comes out too, so it's unfair to say all manga is godly at the same time. It's a very different beast, but it's also a flavor that I enjoy. Their shojo tend to somehow be even soapier than manga much of the time. |

|
| No, I've read a few that I've loved, so I'll continue to treat it like I would any other medium. |
 |
| If I feel like reading anything, then no. (right now, I don't feel like reading long mangas). But I read Noblesse, if it counts. |
|
| No I don't dismiss it. It doesn't matter what country from if it is a good story then it is a good story. The different art style doesn't bother me. Plus I'm Korean so more reason to like it. Here are some recommendations for good Manhwa if anyone wants them: 안나라수마나라(Annarasumanara) 보지 못하고 듣지 못하고 사랑해(Can't see can't hear but can love) Let 다이(Let Dai) 노블레스(Noblesse) 신의 탑(Tower of God)- Not in MAL database don't bother looking. |
| Manhwa would be so much better if it was simply black and white and used traditional comic book paneling format. Cause really, they just love stacking one panel against another one in a quite messy sequences, and leave much of the pages basically empty. Also, i'm often lost at character's movements and their positions against background since the authors often not trying to do anything about it. |

Also, i'm often lost at character's movements and their positions against background since the authors often not trying to do anything about it. You are confusing manhwa with Korean webtoons. Webtoons use that panel stacking method. That said most of the manhwa on MAL are webtoons. An example of a Korean Manhwa that uses the traditional comic book paneling format is Let Dai. I strongly recommend a read. Great psychological romance story with mature themes. |
| I avoid Korean webtoons as I'm not particularly fond of reading long strips like that. A lot of the ones I've tried felt so wasteful as if they were leaving huge empty blanks so they could increase their page count. As for regular Korean manwha, I honestly don't see very much of them cause they're overrun by webtoons. So I generally just avoid them all in general. |
| There's few manhwa I enjoyed because the artstyle is usually so different compared no manga. While I usually find this off putting, there's some manhwa with artstyles that fit the series better than a manga artstyle. Quite some manhwa are also fully colored, which is another plus. Overall, I do tend to stay away from them... |
| Nope. I actually bought all 10 volumes of The Breaker because it is really good. They look amazing on my shelf. Also pre-ordered The Breaker New Wave. |
| I don't have anything against manhwa. Honestly, I've never read one, but I'd be open to trying one. |
 |
| I personally do not like webcomic manhwa due to the format, but one's done like manga are completely fine. |
| No, I wouldn't. The Koreans came up with some epic manhwas. Like The Gamer, The Breaker and some other titles. Once you have read The Breaker, you will agree that it is superior to many Japanese action manga. Both in terms of story and art. |
| yes I dismiss them |
 |
| They can make good stuff too. No, I don't. |
