@PowerOfSin Most sites tend to load a new webpage when moving between comic pages and that eats a lot of processing power. Plus with the infinite scroll the comic is seamless and it really lets me immerse myself.

@PowerOfSin Unless there's a big "Right to Left" sign at the top, it's not always immediately clear which way to read. Scrolling to new panels solves the problem

@PowerOfSin left to right bc even translated Japanese doujins are overwhelmingly oriented thus. So much so that it's become muscle memory.

@PowerOfSin it depends on a lot of things, but unless the comic is specifically being made for a webtoon-type service (in which case that formatting just works best as a rule) then left to right comic paneling combines the dynamism and flexibility of your McCloud-esque panel-gutter comic with the directional reading I'm used to as a native English speaker/reader.

Also this is just a pet peeve of mine, but webtoon, for all its ability to do vertically oriented action incredibly well, it sucks at horizontal motion, which is the more typical direction for motion to occur since people are more often depicted going left-right as opposed to up-down, or far near. Which of course brings up another issue, which is the scrolling motion makes bottom to top or near to far montages panels difficult or impossible to convey.
