If you’re rushing to catch the MRT, killing time while waiting for the bus, or scrolling through your phone to relax before bed, comic apps have long been a go-to entertainment tool for many people. Unlike traditional paper comics that require flipping page by page, LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics was designed from the very start around mobile reading needs. The comic panels stretch straight from top to bottom—just keep swiping up with your thumb, and you can easily finish a full episode. It’s super convenient for commuters, no need to struggle with left-right page flipping at all.
When I use comic platforms myself, besides checking if there are enough works, the things I care most about are: “Is following series going to be a hassle?”, “Is there enough free content to read?”, “Will completed works suddenly turn paid?”, and a point Taiwanese readers often overlook—are there original works that truly connect with local culture? LINE WEBTOON has standout features in all these areas, especially for the Taiwan Traditional Chinese version. It’s not just translating Korean comics into Chinese anymore; the homepage even has a dedicated “Taiwan Original Works” category now, where you can find local creations like *Otaku Playing Basketball*, *Beitou Witch 2: Enchanting Magic*, and *The Guide*—so thoughtful.
As of 2026, LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics on Taiwan’s App Store still maintains a pretty large user base. It currently has a rating of around 4.6, over 65,000 reviews, and stays in the top ranks of the entertainment category—its performance is really consistent.
If this is your first time using the platform, or you installed it before but haven’t opened it in a long time, below we’ve organized everything from download steps, daily update notifications, popular works recommendations, payment methods, to introductions to Taiwan original content and account management tips—so you can get started quickly.
I. Overview of LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics Platform
A. Brand Positioning & Global Webtoon Ecosystem
The name WEBTOON is actually a mix of “Web” and “Cartoon”—put simply, it’s a comic format built specifically for the internet and mobile devices, which completely changes the traditional comic reading experience.
Its most impressive reading feature is its exclusive vertical scroll webtoon design.
Traditional Japanese comics mostly use single-page panels and require left-right flipping, but WEBTOON arranges all panels straight from top to bottom. Whether it’s a character’s pause, scene shift, or the rhythm of surprise or laughter, you can adjust the flow with the vertical space between panels, making reading way smoother.
This design is super handy and effortless to use on mobile.
You don’t have to zoom in often or move pages left and right—you can just swipe all the way with one hand, perfect for short breaks like commuting or waiting for the bus. Even editors at Taiwan’s Apple App Store have listed vertical scrolling as LINE WEBTOON’s core reading highlight.
This platform is backed by the NAVER WEBTOON team. Today’s WEBTOON ecosystem isn’t limited to just Korean comics anymore—besides original Korean works, there’s content from creators across Europe, America, and Asia. It also keeps expanding the impact of its works through film/drama adaptations, novel IPs, animations, and more.
For example, popular works like *True Beauty*, *Sweet Home*, and *Nevertheless*—many fans might have watched the drama first before realizing the original is a WEBTOON comic.
B. Chinese Official Website & Features of the Traditional Chinese Version
Taiwanese readers can directly access LINE WEBTOON’s Traditional Chinese official website to see fully categorized and content in Traditional Chinese, making reading super smooth.
The homepage still has several useful sections: Trending, Popular Rankings, Category Rankings, New Releases, Today’s Webtoon, and Rising Stars. Plus, the “Today’s Webtoon” section lets you check series updated on specific days from Monday to Sunday.
I personally love this design—after following webtoons for a while, you don’t want to waste time searching for series names every day. Just go to Today’s Webtoon to catch up, it’s way more convenient.
For example, if you know a comic updates every Friday, open the platform on Friday and go to the Today’s Update list to read it—no need to hunt around.
In addition, the genres supported by the Traditional Chinese version are way more subdivided than before. Besides familiar themes like romance, school life, fantasy, there are also European-style palace stories, martial arts, LGBTQ+ works, Taiwan original creations, and more diverse categories.
Genre options are extremely diverse.
II. LINE WEBTOON App Download & Installation Guide
A. iOS & Android Version Download & Installation Steps
For iPhone or iPad users, just open the App Store, search for LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics, and you’ll find the app provided by NAVER WEBTOON Ltd. Tap download and install, and that’s it for the iOS version installation.
Hey folks, a quick note if you’re planning to get it—just download the official version, okay!~ Right now, the Taiwan region’s App Store version supports both iPhone and iPad, requires iOS or iPadOS 16 or higher to install, is around 204.9MB in size, and comes with Traditional Chinese built-in, which totally suits our usage habits. For Android users, just go to Google Play and search for "WEBTOON" to find the official app. This international version is named "WEBTOON: Manga, Comics, Manhwa" by NAVER WEBTOON official. So far, it’s got over 100 million downloads on Google Play, with a user rating of around 4.6, so the quality is pretty stable. A special reminder here: never install modified APK files for those so-called "unlimited coin" or "all free" versions! After all, unlocking comics via payment works on a server account system—you can’t just tweak the app to access it safely, and your account has your reading history, favorites, and purchase info, so it’s not worth the risk at all.
B. Mobile Website & PC Browsing Method
Actually, LINE WEBTOON doesn’t only let you use the app to read~ You can directly use your mobile browser, or open a PC browser to visit the Traditional Chinese official website, and still check comic categories, individual work pages, rankings, and tons of free content resources. If you want to read on your work computer, laptop, or tablet anytime, there’s no need to use an emulator—using the web version is super convenient. But then again, the app version still has relatively complete content. For example, some works’ latest chapters may only be available in the app. Like "Lookism"’s official page, it clearly marks that the latest chapters can only be read through the app for now. So my own habit is: first use my computer to find the works I want to follow, then use the mobile app to catch up officially. That’s the smoothest and most convenient way to do it~
III. Daily Comics Updates & Weekly Sorting System
A. Free Daily Serialization & Weekly Update Schedule
Here, "Daily Comics" doesn’t mean the same work updates every day. Instead, the platform arranges different works to go live each day, so readers can see new content every day. Currently, the official Traditional Chinese website divides officially serialized works into 8 main sections: Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Completed. For example, the popular long-running work "Lookism" is marked to update every Friday. So you can’t just rely on memory to follow comics~ My own habit is, when I find a work I like, I add it to my favorites directly, then wait for the update reminder. Many serialized works now unlock a lot of free chapters, but the latest progress may need coins to unlock in advance. After a while, some content will be free to read again. The upside of this model is: people who aren’t in a hurry can wait slowly for free, and those who really want to read the plot immediately can decide whether to pay—it’s super flexible~
B. Weekly Categories & New Comics Section
Besides finding works by weekly categories, I personally love hanging out in the "Newly Launched" section. Mainly because the popular rankings are often taken up by those long-time hits, and new works are easy to miss. The "Newly Launched" section is like a new anime block, letting you quickly see new comics recently added on the platform. If you’re already following 5 or 6 long-running works, picking 1 or 2 new works to try from the Newly Launched is way more effective than scrolling aimlessly on the homepage every day. There’s also a real-time popularity chart, which changes really fast—it’s perfect for checking "what’s everyone suddenly reading lately", helping you keep up with the latest trends~
IV. Popular Works & Must-Follow IP Recommendations
A. "True Beauty", "The Remarried Empress", "Lookism"
If you’re visiting LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics for the first time and don’t know where to start, I’d suggest dipping your toes with a few representative works first. "True Beauty" is definitely one of the most familiar WEBTOON works for many Taiwanese readers. At first, the theme revolves around appearance anxiety, makeup tips, and school romance, but what really keeps people hooked is the heroine’s growth in self-worth and relationship development. Even now, the App Store in Taiwan region still keeps
"The Girl Downstairs" is one of the platform's flagship popular IPs. "Remarried Empress" takes a totally different route, blending palace life, marriage, betrayal, power struggles, and second chances at life all into one. If you love strong heroines and palace drama, this work will let you binge dozens of episodes in one go. It's already in the completed series section, and there are follow-up seasons to catch up on. "Lookism" is another tier of popular long-running works. At first, it seems like a story about appearance and school bullying, but later it gradually adds a ton of action scenes, gang fights, and rich character side stories. As of 2026, it's still ongoing, and its total view count has reached the 400 million level—it's definitely a heavyweight work.
B. Who Made Me a Princess, Strange Story, Beitou Witch, and more
If you love European palace-style stories, "Who Made Me a Princess" is an amazing series to get into. The plot is fresh and attractive, making it super easy to get hooked~
The female lead uses her princess identity to navigate the treacherous palace, going to great lengths to escape her predetermined tragic fate. The overall art style is delicate and gorgeous, and the interactions between characters have great emotional tension. This series has already completed its Traditional Chinese version.
If you're looking for horror comics, I personally highly recommend "Strange Story".
This work doesn't scare people with sudden, jump-out-there creepy visuals. Instead, it's very good at using a calm narrative pace to slowly build an unsettling sense of oppression that makes you feel on edge. It's already completed, with a total view count as high as 190 million, and there are even spin-off works like "Strange Story 2".
When it comes to Taiwanese local comics, the "Beitou Witch" series is definitely worth mentioning.
This work perfectly blends Taiwan's everyday urban scenes, local witch culture, the texture of local life, and fantasy settings. Among them, "Beitou Witch 2: Enchanting Magic" is now officially listed in the recommended list of Taiwan's original works.
If you're tired of the trope where "all fantasy stories take place in European castles", this kind of comic with local elements will definitely give you a refreshing vibe.
V. Genre & Topic Navigation
A. Romance, Drama, Horror, Comedy, Action, Fantasy
One of WEBTOON's biggest advantages is its extremely wide range of genres.
Romance has always been the most popular genre.
But if you just aren't into romance, there are tons of other choices:
Fantasy Adventure
Wuxia
School Life
Thriller
Action
Mystery
Workplace
Palace Drama
There are so many different types to choose from.
My usual way of finding comics isn't constantly scrolling through the homepage recommendations, but directly choosing a genre first.
For example, if I want something with a detective feel and brain-teasing content lately, I'll go straight for the mystery genre;
If I want to relax, I'll watch school life or comedy topics;
If I want to binge all at once without waiting for updates, I'll go to the completed section and pick a highly popular work.
This way, I'm less likely to keep seeing repeated genres from the algorithm, and I won't get bored even after reading for a long time.
B. Taiwan Local Themes, Urban Legends, & School Life Comics
One of the most valuable things about Taiwan's WEBTOON is that local themes have started to develop their own unique style.
In the early days, when many people heard "webcomic strips", the first thing that popped into their mind was probably Korean romance comics;
Nowadays, you can see more and more Taiwan-flavored themes, like school life, basketball, folk beliefs, urban legends, local culture, etc.
For example, "Otaku Basketball" brings Taiwan's basketball scene and youth daily life directly to webcomic strips; "Guide" combines Taiwanese deities and folk culture; "Beitou Witch" even takes the Beitou area as a core part of the story world.
For me, these kinds of works are more meaningful than just "comics drawn by Taiwanese authors".
Because readers can truly feel from the scenes, tone, and details of daily life:
"This is exactly where we live our daily lives."
VI. User Experience & Reading Scenarios
A. Vertical Webtoon Scrolling & Native Mobile Reading Habits
LINE WEBTOON's vertical reading mode is super aligned with mobile reading habits.
Traditional comics on a 6-inch phone often need to be zoomed in to read the content in the dialogue boxes clearly.
WEBTOON's webtoon strips are laid out directly according to the width of the phone, so you can read them easily without zooming in or out.
Especially horror comics, they will also especially use this advantage to create atmosphere.
As you slowly scroll down the page,
a large black area is deliberately left in the middle of the frame.
Negative space, you know there’s more coming next, yet you can’t help but keep scrolling down to see. That mix of tension and anticipation is a totally different experience from reading physical comics. Even romance comics use tons of white space to stretch out moments where characters lock eyes, pause, or build up their emotions. So webtoons aren’t just physical comics cut into vertical strips—they have their own unique visual language.
B. Everyday Scenarios for Webtoons: Commute, Bedtime, 3-Minute Breaks
What makes WEBTOON so addictive is that it's perfect for reading during tiny gaps in your day. On the subway: I told myself "just one episode"—and I still didn't finish when my stop came. Same at bedtime: I said "just the last one"—next thing I knew, it was 1 AM. Each episode is short enough not to feel overwhelming, which is exactly why it’s so easy to binge. If you’ve got 30 minutes to an hour to kill, webtoons are way more convenient than starting a 40-minute TV episode.
VII. LINE WEBTOON: Follow and Bookmark Features
A. Bookmark Shelf, Follow Works, and Update Alerts
When you find a webtoon you love, you can add it to your "My Favorites" list. On official WEBTOON pages, your account lets you manage your favorites—some pages can hold up to around 500 works. The biggest perk of adding to My Favorites? No need to search for your favorite series every single day. Your reading progress, new updates, and bookmarked content are all in one place. My tip: if you like the first 3 episodes, add it to your favorites right away. If you stop liking it later, just remove it. Way better than suddenly realizing at episode 20: Wait, what was the name of this series again? So handy, right～
B. Completed Works, Original Zone, and Rising Stars Submission
Honestly, the Completed Works zone is one of my go-to spots. I hate waiting a whole week for the next episode when the story's just getting good—total torture. If you hate waiting like me, just head to the Completed category—reading is smooth and satisfying. But a heads up: some completed works have later episodes locked behind unlock mechanisms. To read them all, you’ll either need coins or watch ads to unlock. Since 2026, the official platform has been announcing that more works are opening this feature. Plus, LINE WEBTOON isn’t just professional cartoonists’ works. You can always see submissions from "Rising Stars" on the homepage. For us readers, this is like a total treasure hunt! While these works have a wide range of art styles and polish, you sometimes find super fresh ideas that aren’t on the official charts.
VIII. Pricing Model & Balance of Free Content
A. Free Episodes & Pay-to-Unlock Latest Chapters
LINE WEBTOON isn’t one of those old-fashioned subscription comic apps that requires a monthly fee. Lots of ongoing series are free to read as they update. When you do need to spend money, it’s usually for these cases: Reading the latest chapters early. Unlocking specific chapters of completed works. Some Premium-tier content. That’s when you use in-app coins. The platform also offers ad unlocks, event giveaways, and free passes depending on the series, so a locked chapter doesn’t always mean paying money. My own rule is super simple. For series that update once a week, I just wait for the free update. But if I hit a cliffhanger like "the male protagonist opens the door, and suddenly in front of him is—", I can’t help but unlock it even if I shouldn’t. That’s why WEBTOON gets exactly what readers love.
B. In-App Purchases & Entertainment Ranking Performance
As of August 2026, LINE WEBTOON (Daily Comics) on Taiwan’s App Store uses a free download + in-app purchase model. The store has various coin plans and WEBTOON Premium-related items. The app’s rating is around 4.6 out of 5.
), it had accumulated around 65,000 user ratings, ranking roughly 15th in the entertainment category charts at that time. However, chart rankings can change over time, you know.
The international Android version is even bigger. Right now, the total downloads shown on Google Play have broken through 100 million, with a similar rating of around 4.6.
Looking at user reviews, a large selection of works and plenty of free content are usually the main positives highlighted. But in recent years, complaints have popped up about changes to the app interface, ad placements, and some reading operation designs too. Many long-term users in Taiwan's App Store have mentioned that browsing the new home page and updated works isn't as intuitive or user-friendly as before.
I totally get that feeling:
Having a wealth of content is one thing.
But being able to quickly find the "five works updated today" is a whole different headache.
IX. The Taiwan Market and Local Original Ecosystem
A. Taiwan Local Comics & Creator Collaboration Models
What makes LINE WEBTOON special in the Taiwan market is that it doesn’t treat the region as just a "Korean comic translation zone."
The official still maintains a separate category for Taiwanese original works and exclusive promotion plans.
Besides the official serialized collaboration model, creators can also build their own reader bases through channels like submitting works and the "New Creator" program.
For new cartoonists, the webtoon format has lowered many barriers to traditional publishing.
You don’t have to release a collected volume first.
You just need to post your work online first—when readers view, comment, or bookmark it, you can slowly build up your own fan base.
This model has actually changed the starting point for a lot of comic creators.
B. The Impact of Korean Comic Platforms Entering Taiwan & The Webtoon Generation
The biggest change LINE WEBTOON brought to Taiwan’s market wasn’t that "Taiwanese people started reading Korean comics."
Instead, it’s that many readers got used to this for the first time:
Comics can be updated daily, and mobile phones are the main reading device.
Back then, when you thought of reading comics, you’d mostly think of rental stores, comic book shops, or collected volumes.
Nowadays, young users probably don’t even have the idea that "a comic episode has to have a fixed number of pages."
Stories can be one super long, continuous canvas.
This format has also directly influenced how creators design their panels.
For example, for important scenes, creators can control the pacing by how fast readers swipe.
Jokes can be hidden in the next segment of the screen.
Horror scenes can suddenly pop up to scare you right when you swipe to that part.
This way of reading isn’t just a change in publication format—an entire creative language has adjusted along with it.
LINE WEBTOON Account Management & Customer Support Center
Account Login & Cross-Device Reading Sync Management
If you just want to flip through a few episodes to pass the time, you can actually browse some works without logging into an account.
But if you plan to follow comics long-term, I’d definitely recommend logging in.
Having an account lets you manage things more fully:
your collections
reading history
comment interactions
purchase records
coin balance
personal reading preferences
These are the kinds of things you can manage.
LINE WEBTOON also supports login with some third-party service accounts right now. Once logged in, your reading habits and platform activities will be linked to the account you choose.
But note that "account sync" doesn’t mean all downloaded content can be freely moved between devices.
According to official rules, some downloaded digital content can only be stored on specific devices, and might even have an expiration date.
The rules for LINE Coins also need special attention.
Currently, you can’t directly transfer or merge coins between different accounts.
So before you buy coins, make sure you’re logged into your main account that you use long-term.
Customer Support, Privacy Protection & User Guides
If you run into issues like coins being deducted for no reason, failing to unlock a work, being unable to log in, or app glitches, you can submit problems through the LINE WEBTOON app’s customer support center. The official description on Taiwan’s App Store also explicitly recommends users contact via the in-app support center first.
Regarding privacy, LINE WEBTOON currently processes data such as account information, reading preferences, recent browsing, bookmarks or interactions, purchase transactions, device and network info based on usage. It may also use this content to provide personalized recommendations, service analysis, or ads.
Many users worry about privacy issues like the app peeking at their photo albums, but when it comes to reading comics, what’s more important to note is that: your reading habits themselves are one of the key data points the platform uses for personalized services.
Also,
Don't share your account password with other websites.
Especially if you've stacked up a lot of coins in your account and collected tons of works over the years, having your account hacked is way more annoying than just redownloading the app.
Let's make a quick summary
Overall, after using it, I think LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics will still be one of the most accessible official manhwa platforms for Taiwanese users in 2026.
Its most obvious advantages are:
It has a wide variety of comics.
The Traditional Chinese official content is really well-done.
The mobile reading experience is super smooth.
New works are updated every day.
Also, the proportion of free content is still pretty high.
If you really don't want to spend any money, you can keep up with regular updates and read for a long time; what makes you want to pay is often not running out of comics, but the storyline getting stuck at the most cliffhanging spot and not wanting to wait another week.
For works, new users can start with hit titles like "True Beauty", "Lookism", and "Remarried Empress".
If you love palace fantasy, go for "The Abandoned Princess"; if you want to get spooked at midnight, "Strange Tales" is a great pick.
If you want content with Taiwanese local flair, I recommend digging into the Taiwanese original category. Works like "The Beitou Witch", "Otaku Plays Basketball", and "The Guide" clearly show that local Taiwanese webcomics are no longer just copying Korean webtoon styles.
My favorite thing about LINE WEBTOON is that you can finish one episode in three minutes—you don't need to carve out a whole hour. You can read it while waiting for breakfast, commuting on the subway, during lunch breaks, or before bed.
But its biggest flaw also comes from this: you only meant to read for three minutes, but before you know it, you've scrolled for an hour straight.
So if you have to work the next day, you really need to have some self-control when you hit that "Next Episode" button at night. Otherwise, the most accurate nickname for LINE WEBTOON Daily Comics might not be "Daily Comics" but "The Comic That Makes You Stay Up Late Every Day"!
