I see, that's where im getting mixed up then. Still new to actually reading manga, usually just watch animes.
Well there are Light Novels that are mostly text, it's like a normal book with pictures every now and then to maybe show a location or character
Webtoons are Korean comic strips that are drawn like manga but are in full color and you read them in the long strip format (scroll down, no pages but enough to fill about 20-30 pages generally). These also have more creative freedom compared to manga so you get some really original stories, as long as they meet their deadlines (which they can be pretty lax about) they get to write and draw mostly whatever. Very rarely does a webtoon get axed, I've only heard about one and that was because she was constantly late with her work and didn't seem to care much.
Manhwa is Korean manga, just like Japanese manga except generally read from Left to Right instead of Right to Left
Webtoon example:
On the website these would be in one long strip, uncompressed and read from Left to Right
Edit: This was the song that played in the background of the chapter, it's not really a thing on English websites but the Korean ones often have background music or sound effects that trigger when you scroll down to certain parts
