You might be looking for ways to filter or exclude specific content on WEBTOON. While the platform does not currently offer custom content exclusion tools, you can use built-in ratings, warnings, and category pages to safely and intentionally choose what you read.
What WEBTOON Does and Does Not Provide
WEBTOON does not offer custom search filters, keyword blocking, or account-level exclusion toggles.
Instead of automated filtering, WEBTOON provides a visible Content Age Rating system, episode-level warnings, and organized browsing hubs. The only automated restriction is an age gate: series rated “Mature” are strictly locked and accessible only to users who are 18 or older.
Using Ratings and Warnings as a Practical Alternative
Since you cannot automatically filter out specific themes, checking the ratings before you read is the best way to manage your content.
- Check the series description: Creators often list sensitive themes directly in the summary of the comic.
- Look at the Content Age Rating: Every series on WEBTOON ORIGINALS and the English CANVAS platform displays a specific rating. These include All Ages, Teen, Young Adult, and Mature.
- Watch for episode warnings: If an individual episode contains sensitive material, a content indication or trigger warning will appear at the very top of that specific episode.
How to Browse Intentionally
You can control what kinds of stories you see by navigating WEBTOON’s structured sections on the English site.
- Genres: Browse specific categories like comedy, slice of life, or fantasy. This helps you stick to the types of stories you prefer.
- Rankings: Check the ranking pages to see what is popular within the genres you enjoy.
- Daily Schedules: Use the daily update pages to find ongoing series, or browse the completed tab for finished stories that fit your tastes.
