New Poll - Episodic vs. Continuous
This week's poll was suggested by MelonnBreadd. We're not talking about story arcs here. Some series (in my experience, often times the slice of life series) feature episodic chapters. Imagine TV shows with the monster of the week (like Star Trek: The Next Generation). Then compare that a series that has a clear plot that keeps moving forward (like Star Trek: Picard). Now apply those ideas to manga, manhua, or manhwa. Which do you prefer?

It's interesting how most of the written comments preferred single page, but the anonymous masses prefer long strip

New Poll - Physical vs. Digital (Novels)
A couple of weeks ago, we did this poll but for manga. Does it make a difference if you're reading something without pictures? I own a Kindle Paperwhite from 2011, and it works great! Light and contains tons of books. And no need to worry about sweaty hands damaging the pages.
