Manhwa is a form of entertainment that is basically a korean comic book. These books are in the standard form of 4 to full page panels that read the same way as a Japanese “manga” and a Chinese “manhua”. each form of these comic books are within the same format as each other a comic book with 4 to 2 or even 1 panel long. However while they all use the same style of art they are indeed not the same, manga consist of a more book like feel in which the panels are more so printed on a soft paper like material, while other forms of foreign comic books like manhwa’s and Manhua’s they both use a magazine like paper which each paper feeling more like a newspaper or magazine rather then a newspaper. While these are all of the same pattern or style of reading they are vastly different then the last form of foreign comic book anime media out there. Light Novels are novels that is normally always text and not form of picture is used. Now I am not a fan of light novels while they are “light” they are way more complex with how much more information you arre given they are more hard to consume and make you read a lot more then Manwhas, Manhuas or even manga. This is only text and nothing else normally written on the same materials that manga is written on.
needless to say if you want a form of content fast, do not read light novels…
