umm not user related to break things up
which one do you prefer, a beautifully render but static panel that take up 1.2 screen with 1-2 speech bubble just plastered on the top or bottom of it (new online comic)
or
an "ok" artstyle with proper paneling (idk if it's the right word) so there's at least 4 panel in your screen with speech bubble that you can follow without scrolling (more traditional style. think about how manga and comic usually divided per pages)
and the panel here refer to comic boxes panels if you're confused.
the first one has the advantage of being beautiful, obviously but what i noticed is it has lower word count so you either continuously scroll to continue one sentence (a thumb workout) or have a speech bubble so dense since they have to fill out all the information without additional panel.
the latter is generally easier to follow since we don't need to scroll much so we can linger in some pages to read and absorb the art. the art style depends on the artist but it usually won't be fully colored and rendered.
this is coming from my gripe with recent Webtoon format and a tweet I came across just now. sorry about the yap fest
here's the tweet I'm talking about.
if you're extra confused on what I'm talking about, this is an example (it's just what I have in my phone)
style one (new) :
(notice the BIG empty space between panels. no hate to my boy he's so cute)
traditional :

I am good with both. But I prefer the second format. Maybe you're mentioning 4-koma stories. Like old comedy mangaas. I love them. ️

It's hard trying to figure out a way for phone readers to be able to read your art while keeping the panels interesting and well done. I'm making my own webtoon right now and I'm struggling whether I should be considerate to the phone readers or have an actually decent layout. I personally prefer the manga style of paneling but i know my nationalit......

I’d take an amateur artist who understands formatting and how to create the illusion movement with their work over the former any day. I think it’s honestly a much harder skill to develop than purely the art itself and yields a much better result. The writing in the former tends to suffer as well because of the constant expository dialogue. And......
