Wrong wording, graphic novel is what I meant, the best manhuas and mangas are as good as the best western and south American style comics. I was trying to lump them all together in one phrase and forgot visual novels were a thing.

All three are 90% trash, 8% good for wasting braincells and 2% among the best in the format of graphic novel.

That being said the manhua style of vertical scrolling to read is better than any other format for vertical screen devices. After getting used to it (and getting a reader than can cache fast enough to keep up) reading manga and ebooks just feels incredibly clunky and unintuitive.

That being said the monetary schemes for manhua/hwa are sometimes ridiculously predatory. If you want to read ethically you better have some serious money, especially for longer series with shorter chapters.
