Maybe because it's been released with physical copies? Or because it has a lot of popularity? Not too sure

Yeah that's probably it, I guess they have to draw the line somewhere (otherwise the database would get crammed with canvas stuff) but I still think they should be a bit more lenient on what's allowed on mal

Oh wait, I suppose it's because these Manhwa authors are not partnered with any publishers or distributers and merely use Webtoon as a way to digitally self publish their works. It's like how there aren't Doujinshi's within the database as well.

It’s weird because my friend uses Kitsu and apparently they have everything on there. Kinda annoying that MAL doesn’t just include everything. We’re in the age of digital publishing, webtoon is a valid platform. If it was like someone’s own website or personal blog where they uploaded their story, it’s different, but webtoon (at least the originals) should automatically be considered as officially published material. I think MAL only considers stuff that has been printed as ‘published’.

The threshold is physical publication. I myself tried submitting microHUNTER onto MAL before, and it got denied since it only exists in an online format with no physical release.
