Even Goodreads' reviews are not very reliable. Or books might be like food or art, where everyone has their own preference.

Lots of books are draggy, they rephrase the same thing over and over, nothing new to say. Is this the trend now?

Still looking for what to read next...

Despair not! Haha. I think there are good books, they just take more effort to uncover. There could be a similar number of needles, but just a much larger haystack and lots of dishonest salesmen.

I used to read lots of manga but, just as miyakochan said, they're different things. Books require a more holistic imagination; manga just gotta imagine the motion. Any good manhwa to recommend? They usually have better art and some are even coloured I heard.
Btw, just finished The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. 8.5/10. Witty, fun, and light.

Haystak too big oredi gave up long ago lol. Nvr look bek sins den.

Sure manga/manhwa dun hav to imagine much but i notis wen artis veri gud dey can describe beter den novel version

A few pointers on manhwa:

1) Manhwa plenty of gud 1s but not many hav eng version so wat pipul do is read "pirated" "fan-translated" 1s n den pay ori version jus 2 support author. If u ok wif dat den u hav many choices. If not den hav 2 wait veri long time 2 c official translation if ever. Sum studio relly dun care about international readers, deswai all de pirate translator come in

2) unlike books, all dis dun come complete, u kno loh a lot of artis work, dey onli release chapter by chapter. De golden age of manhwa jus started not veri long ago so a lot not complete. If u onli wan 100% complete den i can onli recommend 'Medical Return' (doctor/reincarnation stori --- comedy+a bit rom+a bit murder, onli bad thing is ending part over extended), n again dis 1 no official eng version yet

3) might need 2 lern a bit of Korean esp. "oppa" "noona" "ajussi" n "ajumma" but of cors if u read a lot eventually u'll understan anywei, dis oso no tqs 2 pirate translator dey dun translat deez terms. Proly a culture preservation thingy.

Nowadeys all manhwa colored. Oso many very violent but dem funny. If u ok with 1&2 above den --- I wil assume u like [comedy+light action] so maybe I'll recommend 'The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor' for starters (vr stori, still ongoing)
