It depends on the series, really. I'm pickier about art with webtoons than I am with manga, so if the design turns me off, I don't touch it. I did start Noblesse at one point, though.

I read a lot of Webtoons. It's probably my most used app at this point. I love the variety in genres and art styles. There are goofy, light-hearted stories, but also dark, intense stories. If you haven't yet, read Under The Aegis. It's incredible

Yes, yes I do. The most memorable I've read is Killing Stalking (completed). Pretty psychologically disturbing. Also erotic. Strange, honestly, but the storyline is amazing.

Killing Stalking is fantastic. Did you like it?

I loved Under The Aegis. I would recommend that to anyone. Some others that I like are Catharsis (for something a little scarier), Duty After School (a bit more action-y) and Let's Play. Some others that are nice and most people would like: Super Secret, Ghost Wife, The Steam Dragon, and Siren's Lament. Happy reading!

A lot of webtoons have spectacular art, but there are some where you have to get used to the style. If you like Noblesse, maybe check out Catharsis, Nano List or Ghost Wife. They have similar art styles, but not exactly the same.

Solo Leveling has me hooked! I usually hate the RPG video game protagonist trope but Solo Leveling does it well! Some other works that I've really enjoyed are Lookism, Let's Play, and Humor Me. Also, My Giant Nerd Boyfriend! It's so cute!

Yes,I do and I love them.I'm drawn to their intriguing yet short writing, detailed artwork and the author's storytelling skills.I enjoy reading the ones that focus on society's issues like 'Odd Girl Out,' 'True Beauty,' 'Lookism,'etc.

I've had Dice in my library for a very long time, but never actually get down to reading it.
