Unorganized as it is, this is how I do things. My bookmark page has over 15 different manhwa sites all neatly organized in folders. When searching for a specific series I normally open 3-4 of the sites in different tabs and compare the following: image quality, ad size (with ad blocker enabled of course), and how user friendly the site is to read. It adds about a minute to finding a series but 9 times out of 10 I’ll find a better version of the manhwa than what I would have found by clicking the first result in a Google search. I do this because it is basically digital window shopping for the best way to read a series. The “best” site to read a series can change from series to series, and even within a series from chapter to chapter, depending on how up to date the best mirror is.

Many older readers remember the time of scanlation groups who proudly placed their watermark on the first page of their releases. You used to search for certain groups that were known for their quality. With the growing number of official apps and aggregator sites, which strip their users of all credit for their work, that culture has largely disappeared.
For Borderline, I haven’t seen any notable fan group give it a read. But it’s there, everywhere, anonymously. This removes the translator’s voice from the manga reading experience and the community surrounding a release. Even the official translation reads professionally but is anonymously given to us readers. We’ve become so useable that our loss of connection to the content we read is felt so little. My “where” would be nostalgic for these “fan groups” but for now my practical click is the Webtoon app where Borderline reliably appears.

Finding free manhwa is like searching for treasure. Sometimes you can find some, but other times the link is behind a paywall. So for Shark, I used the search function on Toonily and ManhwaTop. (Sometimes they update new titles so bookmark the site and come back later). I also came across a Twitter thread with an Imgur album per chapter, but the quality was very inconsistent. On forums like the Anime-Planet forums, users sometimes share content that they have themselves scanned and uploaded. Just keep in mind that by reading manhwa for free you’re not supporting the creators. If you can afford to, you should support them by buying the official manhwa when it comes out.

I'm a r/manhwa lurker. A new chapter will be posted and then commented with the link to read it in the comments within minutes of the post. Then I click on the link, read it, and close the tab. This is the ultimate low-effort method for keeping up with my favorite manga. I don't even have to bookmark sites anymore since Reddit is my default homepage for reading manga. Also, discussions in the community help me distinguish between a bad translation and a bad site. It turns reading manga into a social experience instead of just searching for sites. The knowledge of the community is even more valuable than a list of "the best sites to read manga".
It turns reading Manhwa into a social, communal activity and the crowd-sourced knowledge of a community is far more valuable than any ‘best site’ list.

This thread is like watching an entire fandom unfold before our very eyes. People are sharing practical solutions, feeling our pain, warning us of potential dangers, and just discussing the story in all its glory. Watching this play out is proof that community forums can offer up a multitude of solutions to one simple question: where.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents to all of these great suggestions. My bookmarks are a hot mess of randomly added sites that I have no idea how to search for by name.

Be aware that some of these “free” reading sites are very malicious. My friend recently got a nasty browser hijacker from one of these sites. It was a pain to clean up from, and it had a lot of pop-unders, fake download buttons, and even some redirects to phishing pages.
This means you must use private browsing, and even then be extremely careful – better open up a special browser which you only use for these shady websites and never log into online banking, shop etc. Even with a repulsive ad blocker like uBlock Origin, reading on these “free” websites is simply too risky for me.
It’s worth the few coins to support the digital book industry and download a high-quality reading app for your mobile device. The cost of an app is a small price to pay for the peace of mind and protection of your device and self.

I read Webtoon on their app, which is really designed for vertical scroll comics that are usually all full color. Lezhin on the other hand hosts more traditional page formatted comics like ‘Jinx’ and their app is optimized for that kind of artwork and panel flow. Trying to read a page based manhwa on an app designed for vertical scroll comics is really a clunky experience and a bad legal reading experience. The Lezhin app is the right tool for ‘Jinx’ as it makes your reading experience much more comfortable.
Reading a page-based manhwa on an app geared for vertical scroll comics can be very frustrating. Accessing legal content is one thing, but having a quality reading experience is another. Lezhin’s app is specifically geared towards content such as ‘Jinx’ (a page-based manhwa in full color) and thus offers the best reading experience for its artwork and panel layout.

Normally I can find all the titles I’m interested in on a few major platforms, but so far none of them have this one. Right now your best option for this story would be to look for the original Korean on KakaoPage or to buy the printed books. This story was so damn good for me and the artwork/mood was also so great.

Is the male lead a cold, genius-like character or more of a blunt/socially awkward character? I’m interested in reading based on this description, but that type of character can be really hit or miss for me depending on how the author develops him. From what I can gather from your description, he sounds like the former.
