And, what is a web novel? A book that is not available on paper?

Its true there are manga or novels that fully written to satisfy human violences outbreak, erotic etc. However, classic literature are the same too. There are bad and good sides in everything.
It depends on how we take it. Still, I strongly believe that novel and manga should be recognise

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

It's all part of the evolution of things. Comic books got to the point where they could be considered literature, (and the term "graphic novel" was born) and now there are versions that are digital-only and many of them tend to be exclusive to a website and even available for free.
It's funny timing that I'm seeing this topic now, as I read a complete web graphic novel a couple days ago. I actually rarely ever touch web comics. The novel is Power Nap by Maritza Campos & Bachan.
You can look it up online.
It's about what society would be like if there was a pill that gave you the effects of a completely healthy sleep and thus there was no longer a need to do it. The protagonist is one of the few in the world who is allergic to it and still has to sleep and function in a world that doesn't accomodate him. Things go quite crazy and continue escalating from there. It's a complete work; it's not one of those that eternally gets a new page every week or so.
Oh, and I was just talking about graphic novels in those past paragraphs. Manga being recognized as literature? Absolutely. It's not up to discussion.

They can't be dismissed simple because they involve animation or cartoons. Once people realise that there are a gazillion genres in these, perhaps more people will pick em' up and understand how amazing they can be.

After getting the Manga: Masters of the Art book from the library, I saw there were genre I never heard of before along with different art styles. The same goes from graphic novels and comics. A lot of these so called juvenile readings aren't suitable kids which prompted one parent, who also created comics for mature audiences, to create a series that his daughters could enjoy without worry.
