Webtoons are becoming more and more well-liked. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering that the medium allows creators from many genres to express themselves freely and without boundaries, which explains why challenging webtoon subgenres have been blooming on the site for the last couple of years. Several webtoons have even been adapted into well-known anime or K-Dramas.
Here are 5 multi genre webtoons to read in 2023:
5• Maybe meant to be (Romance)

3• Eaternal nocturnal (Fantasy)
Eaternal Nocturnal is an urban fantasy that involves Eve, a chronic insomniac who is barely surviving through life, and her chance encounter with Dae, a dream eater. It almost seems as if the two are meant to be, since Dae helps Eve get some well-needed rest while he can feast on her dreams as sustenance, especially considering dreams from other people don’t seem to satisfy him anymore. And he thought it’d be a no-strings-attached situation except when he ends up getting involved with her in real life. Oh, and she can’t recognize him outside of his dream eater form. Fun.
2• Vampire Husband (Slice of Life)

Now they've been happily married for almost fifty years, but explaining why Charles still looks the way he did in his 20s is getting...difficult.
