Manhwa and manhua that aren't (colored) webtoons, drawn by hand.
If you search for manhwa pre-2015, it is sometimes (not always) going to be this way.
There might be a few parts of some in color (but that won't hurt right).

Upon Completion:

Final Score: 7.07

In the early-to-late 2000s, a few prominent English manga publishers also took on localizing Korean manwha, most notably Yen Press and TokyoPop. This was, of course, long before webtoons took the West by storm, so these were all originally print manhwa, and thus were also localized in English only in print* (with the exception of a select few that were re-published digitally in subsequent years.)

A downside to this is that almost all of these titles are not only out-of-print in both languages, but a big chunk of them virtually cannot be found anywhere on the internet, both in terms of scanlations, or for purchase (in print). And even if they are, they're usually incomplete or low quality. Just something to keep in mind if you wish to seek out any of these titles.

I was surprised that there wasn't a stack for this already, and because I own a very small few of these titles myself, I took it upon myself to make a somewhat definitive list for my own satisfaction, and also to help anyone else looking for something similar.
