I really enjoyed Wynd as a graphic novel but I really struggle to read webtoons. Idk why but I think I read too fast and it feels very constant scroll.

Valid. I'm glad it's available for more readers, but you really need to design for the form with comics, and trying to separate the panels and rearrange them for verticality only gets you so far...

Yeah even Lore Olympus only worked so long for me that way though perhaps I got further than anything else. It's just a shame because I really like reading comics on hoopla in comparison.

By constant scroll, do you mean literally scrolling on mobile? I find the official app really unpleasant to use in part because I have to manually scroll down as I read. Years ago you could tap the bottom of the screen to scroll, but for some reason I can't fathom they removed that feature, and that one change makes the reading experience on it surprisingly bad. I end up reading most chapters on a third-party app that has tap-to-scroll instead (unless the chapters have sound, then I switch back).

Yeah I mean literally scroll. I read quickly and because there aren't "pages" in how many of them are setup it's just scroll and hope you line up, often read small amounts of text very quickly and keep scrolling. I don't end up appreciating the art like I do on even a zoomed out full page spread. I'd not realized there were 3rd party apps but mostly I just don't do webtoons anymore

Alas, it's not available for iOS devices though and I don't know what equivalent apps there are or what they're like...

For iOS there's tachimanga, or if you're willing to sideload, Aidoku. There's also something called paperback but I haven't tried it. I only know all this cuz I just got an ipad haha

Very cool, reading it in another tab. I'm mentally pronouncing his name like "blowing wind" so I hope I'm right.
