Webtoon means a web-native comic. The format became popular because it fits mobile reading: big emotions, clean panels, short dialogue, and scroll-based cliffhangers.

A webtoon is not just a comic uploaded to the internet. It is a comic shaped around online and mobile reading behavior.
In practice, a webtoon is a vertical digital comic episode. Readers usually discover it online, open it on a phone, and scroll from one panel to the next.
That changes the storytelling. A webtoon creator can use empty space as silence, a long panel as a dramatic reveal, and a final image as a cliffhanger that appears only after the reader scrolls down.
This is why webtoons often feel more cinematic than traditional page comics. The reader does not see the entire page at once. The scroll controls what appears next.
