What drives your preference for one over the other (manhwas, mangas, webtoons, manhuas)? is it just the art style? but i feel like nowadays they are all varied in art style. peoples' distaste for manhua lowk feels like xenophobia sometimes. just curious everyone's thoughts.

    I love mangas and prefer mangas for the plot but I ain't gonna lie I enjoy reading manhwas because the layout is easier to read. You just have to scroll. Mangas have multiple frames per page and sometimes I wish I don't have to zoom the screen to view each frame and read the dialogue.

    That's actually a great point, and I didn't think about that!

    I love them all but I prefer the format of manga. Like it's convenient, I don't have to scroll a lot to see one panel if that makes sense.

    And as for the manhua... it can also be because of poor translations. After all, Chinese is the hardest (out of the 3) to translate, imo. This is why I prefer reading the novels instead.

    if im honest manhuas get flamed a lot but i dont think its due to xenophobia, its mainly due to the historically poor translations they get and the fact the ones that do get machine translated tend to follow the exact same plot.( with BL specifically i find they tend to have a lot of ML leaves mc and regret plot but with barely any good redemption) but as i said it all derives from ---> poor machine transalation due to lack of officials in english and the fact its not easily accessible ----> the censorship that prohibits a lot of smutty stuff that people prefer manhwa for . and im only saying its not xenophobia because have you seen danmei??? haha the written novels have the biggest fandoms ever like EVER (mdzs) and the manhua actually end up getting good translations due to the hype and the massive audience however from what i gather authors do face persecution because they dont censor smut in the novels when they post them which is sadly something they can be jailed for

    I generally prefer mangas because they're usually less drawn-out. I guess since most stories are published in a per-volume format, it's more of a commitment to drag on the story or something?? Idk the reason why but it's just a trend I've noticed. This obv excludes stories published weekly in magazines like Jump, they drag shit ON (50 chapters for one fight scene..... looking at you jjk). Also I like black and white art more than colored art. Something about it just makes everything pop more.

    Also, I personally dislike manhuas though bc the censorship is often very heavy (like no gay kissing without a sticker over it on most official sites). Also, women in manhuas rarely pass the bechdel test and become reliant on male characters. So many good female leads lost to this.... Maybe it's changed tho. I've read one manhua since like 2020 bc of this.

Recommend some romance with the best art. I'm talking art museum worthy. Like Liqueur and Cigarette and Veil!

I'm desperate for series I can finish! I have so many now reading with slow updates and I cannot keep up with the plots. Making my head spin. Give me the BEST completed romance comedies you have in your arsenal, pls! Straight, bl, gl, whatever. I'm not picky as long as there's no abse/rpe/similar triggers.

Okay so there's a significant age gap and I think there's somewhat of a sugar daddy sort of relationship going on, or the older guy was at least very rich. For some reason I have memories of the younger guys sister being involved in the story at some point, but I could be getting confused? I dunno. It had a more sketchy style. The line art wasn't super clean. That's literally all I can remember, but I really liked it and wanted to read it again.

Anyone got any suggestions to stories similar to the Missing O? I'm looking for a story that's more focused on a heterosexual relationship that has mature content, but also has a good plot. There are tons of really good BL stories like this that blend engaging plot with sex scenes, but for some reason I have a hard time finding mature stories focusing on a straight couple that aren't clearly made for a male audience.
