1 Spotlight#0: Big, flashy intro

Hello reader, You must be lucky, bored, or intrigued if you managed to find this humble little story. Nonetheless, welcome to the first intro of Webtoon spotlight. I'm your host, Donniedrako15, your wonderful guide as I introduce to you a little jaunt through all the amazing content of Line Webtoon. And for those of you that are asking what the hell Webtoon is WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE. Though in all seriousness for the crowd of you that don't know what your new obsession is going to be, Webtoon is a style of digital comics from South Korea. Line Webtoon or Naver is a website/app that is the home of many creators and artists to make webcomics for the public to enjoy. You can also subscribe, comment, like, and patron to all these little stories for free no less. The site was made by Junkoo Kim, who was inspired by the manwha crash of the late 1990s and 2000s wanted to make an app to help others find their own stories no matter where they are. Look, in general, think of it as Wattpad but better because we have not everyone can use it, which means no Dr. Phil fanfic to keep me up at night questioning my existence and wondering why I don't burn my eyes out.

Primarily Webtoon is home to the English translation of many manhwas and creators from all across the world. A manhwa is a South Korean comic, and Webtoon is home to many of them. Tower of God, lookism, odd girl out, noblesse, the god of high school, and many others are great examples, so you get your impressive dose of diversity with every update. There is also a manhua, which is Chinese comics.

Line Webtoon also a has fast pass system where you can jump ahead in the story extremely fast by buying unique coins. However, the story will still update just as soon, as usual, so don't worry the only downside is a couple of weeks hiatus for those switching over. There is a daily pass with which effectively makes almost all of the chapters for each story being priced and is giving only two free passes to read a chapter for 15 days before it being needed to read again with a couple of contests along the way.

Webtoon has gotten exponentially more popular in its five-year global run. Recently they have recorded up to 100 billion reads annually. Many creators on the site have shown up on the official Youtube channel with some popular series, even getting complete animated shorts like Let's play and My giant Nerd Boyfriend. Popular manwha's like Tower of God, Noblesse, and Lookism have gotten so popular that they either have confirmed or ongoing series to them already with more to come.

And pretty much after that, it becomes pretty much like Wattpad with all the kinks and cranks that make it up. I will not post as much on this channel, but I always appreciate any comments. But for now, I will leave you all adieu as next time I'll tackle one of the many webtoons that I read and enjoy without spoilers, of course 😊👌.
