What manga have you tried?

I fell in love with manga after reading Berserk to see the continuation after the anime. Some manga are still pretty hard to get into because you have to focus more than when watching anime so slow/bad starts are worse in manga than in anime IMO.

Try reading some Hype battle shonen with good art so you don't get bored. Not really a battle shonen but you should try the manga Kingdom, its hype as fuck.

It's not really that big of a deal. I know some people who don't enjoy mangas and still watch anime.. So it's okay, watch/read what you like
(I would still recommend you to try some popular mangas to see if any suit ur tastes)

I'm totally the opposite actually cuz I'm burned-out on anime now, guess it's just difficult for me to get invested in shows nowadays.
Reading manga takes effort compared to watching anime - read shounen instead, they're not as difficult to read, story wise however is kinda generic compared to seinen manga.

Well, you also haven't seen much anime. You seem pretty new to the hobby in general, so you shouldn't try to concretely label what you do and don't like just yet, especially not something as broad as manga. If you already watch anime while reading subtitles, reading manga shouldn't be too big a stretch. My guess is that you tried a manga, decided you didn't like reading it, and then decided you didn't like manga in general. I don't think it is a good idea to limit yourself this early. I also don't think it's a good idea to form opinions about manga as a whole when you've barely had any exposure to it. Try reading a lot more manga, they'll probably provide you with very different experiences, then you can decide if you enjoyed them or not.

You do seem to only watch anime, judging by your list.

aNIME!

Anime and manga are two completely different mediums. It’s not that crazy to believe you wouldn’t like one compared to the other.

I can't enjoy manga but it's due to how much of a pain in the ass it is to follow them.

That's why you shouldn't. Just let it sit and you'll get to it sooner or later.

You are not the only one, I also dislike manga and the source readers and have watched many anime. If I want to read something worthwhile, I would read a novel. I also wouldn't want to experience the story first in manga form lol, reading scribbled lines and blurs depicting action for example lol, nah... I read Tsukihime just so I could understand more references in Carnival Phantasm, even that was average, and plenty of people talk that shit up.

Even started Berserk, got seven chapters in, have no enthusiasm to pick it back up. They're all just so inferior to novels.
