The letter part should be in the next chapter.

The letter part
only comes at a moment of despair where everyone thinks they are going to die and that's coming next, not this chapter. This chapter, the fight with Orcs is still doable. Jinwoo only helped to make sure that they got away with 0 casualty, and stealthily so that Hunters Guild don't need to reward him a large part of the loots for his (possibly unnecessary) help.

The boss... A high Orc Shaman. Shamans are vastly proficient at curses and hexes. This is going to be a hoot when it's going to be faced with the MC's Shadow army.

And no offence, but what Jinwoo just did was Sub-Zero's fatility. Skull+spine from body. Then used to whack another. They failed to get that shot

Koreans be like: Lets space out each frame so the 2 pages feel like 12. Maybe add a basic gradient back drop if there is too much negative space in some places. Genius!🤓

Prepare to break your scroll wheel!

@GrimGriefer action webtoon in general doesn't have many dialogue tho.. if you want webtoon with non existent blank space between panels then try reading psychological ones like ghost teller or cheese in the trap

@ojoudere It's still blatant cheating. Except in this case it's cheating the reader instead of the rules. Imagine if you double spaced an essay to meet the page requirement when it was supposed to be single spaced. It would leave a bad taste with the reader and not earn you a favorable grade.

And just because it's where other webtoons put dialog doesn't mean it should still be there when there's no point. The only reason it should be there is if it needs to be. For example, it could be used as a scene change, or where the author is trying to convey greater passage of time.

As it is it's just exorbitant.

So what? Webtoon has limited with but virtually unlimited height. The author uses space as he found fitting. He can make less space and shorter image file, but it's not like more frames appear.

Even it is a 36 pages, it feel like a short chapter due to action scene.
Ah, need to wait a week again.

As opposed to manga, most manhwa/webtoon is not printed, but released online. This result in the format you see of long strips of panels in manhwa instead of a fully packed pages like manga.

You can't release blank pages in manga for obvious reasons, but in webtoon, they can be used as a storytelling tool or just improving readability in general.

You can see that some manhwa (korean, not to be mistaken for its Chinese counterpart, manhua) try to cheat weekly chapter length, not by increasing blank strip length (since having blank strip is like an industry standard, used in manhua to separate panels), but by recycling panels - by dedicating 50% of chapter to flashback to previous chapter, 30% of chapter to random panels of mobs reaction, without actual content, and 20% actual content.

And then, on the other side of the extreme, there is manhua that while it still has blank strips between panels as usual, each chapter just seems to go on and on without end - as if 2 to 3 chapters of manga worth of actual content in a single manhua chapter. TOG is a good example for this type.

Plus remember that manhwa is fully-colored while released weekly, with less regular breaks compared to manga (excluding special reasons like author's health condition, etc).

TLDR; This is just how manhwa is and has been, in terms of style. It is not a cheat or anything. Plus, if you try to read it in the official phone apps, the manhwa style is a lot better in terms of readability than a manga, and each panels seem to fit perfectly without unnecessary little bits and pieces from other panels you are not reading, affecting the panel appearing on your screen.
