I started reading comics not long ago and
everything started on Youtube. I watched a video by
Michelle Phan (“Why I left”) which by the way made me shed a few tears. At the end of the
video, she showed one of the projects she worked whilst she was away from
Youtube. It was a webcomic published on Webtoon.
Webtoon is a service platform that allows you to read digital comics. It was launched in 2004 by Naver, a South-Korean search portal, and it has become very popular worldwide. In fact, some digital comics were adapted into films, k-dramas, games and animated series.

Webtoon is a service platform that allows you to read digital comics. It was launched in 2004 by Naver, a South-Korean search portal, and it has become very popular worldwide. In fact, some digital comics were adapted into films, k-dramas, games and animated series.
Advantages:
- Free:
you don’t have to pay anything to read
- Available
both on web and mobile: you can read on your computer by using the website
or you can read on your phone or tablet by downloading the app. It is
available both on Google Play and Apple Store.
- Very
organised: Both the website and app are easy to use. The comics are
organised by genre, popularity, date and likes. You can also see
which webtoons are completed and which ones are ongoing.
- Comics
in different genres for all tastes: romance, fantasy, action, superhero,
sports, sci-fi, among others.
- Some
comics are translated into other languages.
- You
can download comics which allows you to read them without wi-fi. However, due
to copyright restrictions, the comic can only be downloaded once and
stored for 30 days.
- You
can create your own comic and get recognised.
- Notifications: You can subscribe to your favourite comics and you will receive a notification whenever a chapter is updated.
Overall, Webtoon is a good place to read comics and I do recommend if you are interested. Of course, there are comics better than others.
I believe that creating a comic is hard because it takes a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, the art industry is really complicated to get into and there are incredible artists who have a hard time to get recognised for their work. That is why I appreciate them although I don't know much about this field.

Have you ever used Webtoon? If so, what are your
favourite comics?
I hope you have a lovely day and week! (:
