I discovered the webcomics and I'm amazed. You should know too. Maybe they are everything the manga industry is not.

We know very well why the manga industry is a disappointment. Maybe I've found the answer to this problem: The webcomics.
While reading articles on Tv Tropes, I saw that the site lists webcomics as a form of media. I decided to check it out recently and was pleasantly surprised. It uses the idea of comics written as linear stories divided into chapters, which in turn are divided into volumes.
It is a form of self-publishing, which has great advantages such as creative freedom and less pressure during work, which are some of the reasons for the degeneracy of the manga industry.
I finished bingereading three webcomics: The Mash, Clockwork and Trying Human. I can say that they are high quality original stories and I recommend them. They are published on their own websites.
If other people here are already familiar with this form of media and know of other webcomics they can recommend to the rest of us, let's use this thread to talk about it. Webcomics can be what the manga industry failed to be, so we can make them a focus topic on the forum.

I wonder how many manga you've read to call the whole industry a disappointment
judging the whole industry based on very specific genres or manga is kinda dumb
The most epic works(Vagabond, Berserk, HXH) ended up unfinished due to authors's health issues, and all the rest are poor-quality products that only have outdated tropes( The likes of my hero academia and sakamoto days). That's as far as this industry goes.
I said "We all know why" because I know why myself and I've seen the forum making exactly those complaints.

how many have you tried to judge every manga??

the complaints you've seen here are about a very specific genre of manga

btw I read webcomics/manhwa/manhua on and off since 2016

you should try web novels and light novels if you haven't already

For me not everything revolves around "epics".

I enjoy Iyashi, Romance and SoL stuff too.

Also I agree with what AL said.

Hey mate, happy that you found a medium you enjoy. Like what you like and don't get too bogged down with hating on manga or whatever. It's entertainment at the end of the day.

I think the point we need to get across is that, the number of manga we hear most about when it comes to media is very limited, which are the ones we have forum threads and sections about, like the ones I listed. And they have these flaws. These are the ones I tried. Are you saying there are manga that none of us on the forum have heard of, that we've never discussed here, and that avoid all of these pitfalls ? If so, you can tell me about them. I'm open to checking them out in the future.
So you already know webcomics ? Do you have any recommendations ? I want to focus on exploring the world of webcomics for now.

Check out "Witch Hat Atelier" or "Akane Banashi".
:BigW:

As for the other mediums I can't recommend anything rn.

🕊️ 🕊️ 💖 💖 👨‍⚕️ 😇 I'm not ranting about the manga industry or attacking it. I'm just saying that the experience with the industry's most well-known and consumed products is simply not good. The fact that many other people have expressed their dissatisfaction with this corroborates it. If there's a part of the industry that's better than this and isn't more widely known, great. So more people should know about it and the industry as a whole needs to learn from it to change for the better.

here are some recommendations for different genres

Fruits Basket
Blue Box
Call Of The Night
Takopi's Original Sin
Sousou No Frieren
Grand Blue
Slam Dunk
Monster

You can enjoy some web comics and pretty much all webcomics have same issues. Unless the shorter ones.
But no way they replacing what manga industry has to offer.
I would also suggest you instead dive into LN/WN content. There are a lot of great stuff out their and best thing is, being novels they take their time which I like.
