How I got into webcomics:
I first started getting into webtoons and manhwas (korean comics) in middle school (6th-8th grade) and let me just tell you that as soon as I discovered them, I was absolutely hooked. I mean I read for hours on end after school, spent late nights up to read, and finished series in days. Webtoons consumed me, and at the peak of my obsession I was reading about 50~ series updating weekly at the same time. Don't ask me how I did that, even I don't know. Now that phase has kinda passed by with a few exceptions so here is a list of all my reccomended webtoons. Because I have wayy too many reccomendations, I listed them in catagories of their genres.Webcomics that have turned into animes, k-dramas, movies, etc:
- Omniscient Reader This was originally a novel, (honestly I think the novel is the best) but it is now being adapted into an anime at the moment.
- Study Group This was adapted into a k-drama and I think it did it justice and it's actually really good either way.
- My S-Class Hunters This was originally a novel but I can't say how good it is because it's on my TBR list.
- 1 Second It has a live-action adaptation and is getting an animated series as well.
- Teenage Mercenary It's getting an anime adaptation.
- Sweet Home It has a k-drama adaptation but it feels totally different than the webcomic. You may enjoy it if you watch it first or think of it as a different story, but as an adaptation it's bad. (I really loved the webtoon but when I found out the k-drama had a totally different story I was kinda upset)
- Maru is a Puppy It's adapted into animated series.
- Marry My Husband It has a k-drama which is pretty good although they did change a few things and even a japanese adaptation.
- Superstar Associate Manager This was originally a novel, I haven't read it yet so I won't say anything about it.
- To the Stars and Back This was first on Webtoon but now it's officially published as a graphic novel.
- I'm the Grim Reaper It's being adapted into a TV series.
Where's the shrine stuff from:
- Metal key: Cinderella Boy
- Apple character: After School Lessons for Unripe Apples
- White puffball: Omniscient Reader
- Keychain: Maru is a Puppy
- Phone, sword, and Webtoon logo: I just included these because I found about webcomics through Webtoon, (although the quality has definitely degraded overtime with adds and stuff, I know there are other webcomic apps like it) webcomics are read online, and because a lot of action/fantasy genres have the character with a sword (I'm gonna be honest I legit just put some of this stuff just to fill space lol)

- Windbreaker (Sports) This webtoon was one of my favorites, it was about bike riding but I found out that the creator actually got canceled before the webtoon ended because he was caught tracing other artists' works. I really liked the story but in no ways do I support what he ended up doing. Anyway, now it's taken down from the platform and I stopped reading. The author did end up posting a summary of the story's planned ending on their blog.
