Does art style matter when reading or does plot matter more

☆when I first started reading bl a few yrs ago I often focused on the artwork. I would like only read it if they look good same goes to bl series

This time I'm more focused on plot but idk I still can't read a bl with weird art. I don't mean like it's ugly ig it's cuz im an art student but if I see anything looking weird I just won't read but then again if it's plot is good I'll still want to read it. Idk but I think art rly affects a manhwa bl or not.If the plot is good but art is weird I feel like most ppl won't read but i honestly dk😗☆

I guess art and plot both matters but art is little more important coz you wont know the plot (or read it) without the art. I say this coz i mostly read anything everything but i do sometimes skip a manhwa coz i didnt really like how the characters were drawn in the cover, or i might start one but sometimes loose the interest coz it aint drawn well. One of such an experience was with an manhwa called Happy together or something. Totally forgot the title, but i remember reading one chapter and then dropping it coz the art was too much. It had a lot of bold lines and the dialogues were all over the place and it felt messy so i stopped. So yeah art matters, its important when it comes to getting soemones interested in your story.

But plot also matters coz i have given up on a lot of manhwas with great art coz the plot wasnt that great, it didnt stick with me.

Art without plot is pointless….

the art def matters, I was reading the serpent's den and hear me out but the art style isn't even ugly but the way the characters are draw is so uncanny that it made me drop it in the second chapter even though I truly believe the plot is good.

I'd say that the art, the graphics, and the plot are all major factors. Personally, though, I think the first thing you should consider is the story itself. Ask yourself whether it's likely to mess with your mental health or not. For example, Storming In (also known as Barge In) has great artwork and looks really cool, but after reading about half of it, I genuinely needed a break just to recover and get my mental health back on track.

Once you've decided the plot is something you can handle, then I'd look at the art. If the artwork is good, I'd say go for it. If it's a bit rough at first but the series has plenty of chapters, there's always a chance it'll improve later on. Nineteen Days and Surviving as a Player are good examples of that—the art gets much better as the series progresses.

And even if the art isn't great but the story is genuinely good, I'd still say it's worth giving it a chance.

I can't get into anything with an ugly art style. Unless my friend heavily recommends it and I have a few months to sit on it, if the art style gets better as it progresses I'll read it tho:P

I felt like it depends on my mood, i once read this Manhwa called R2R, the art style is totally my cup of tea but the plot is so-so and there's grooming happened but it wasn’t put on the hashtags/warnings (maybe the site was error it was me who doesn’t really paid attention to it), but i lowkey enjoyed reading it bc i love the art, and then when the smut between the groomer and mc appeared again, i just scroll it real fast, like my mood is the main reason i read something atp. I was rereading Nerd Project bc i really love the story and i love Luke, but i stopped reading it after 30-ish chapter and rereading Behind the Stage/Stage Behind instead (eventho it’s not complete yet) 😭 i personally think it’s just my mood that choose which one to read, i really do enjoy my first two times reading Full Book (i thought the art was lowk not delicious but i love it) and feel frustrated after the s1 ended but can’t bring myself to reread it again bc i just don’t feel like it.

For me both are equally important…

I prefer beautiful art with good plot…

I can't read it if the art is not good and character are not pretty or handsome have good body and alo there body language and angles I prefer if it's very good and plot is must even if art is so much good I can't read it if it's plot is not plotting 😅
