i personally feel like manhua and manhwa both have very beautiful art, but manhuas tend to have a pacing style that feels very jarring to me at times. (manhwas are sometimes too slow, but this allow for a lot of story development. manhuas sometimes feel like whiplash lol.)
perhaps that’s why the art feels more superficial to you - there’s less connection to the story and characters since the pacing feels abnormal.

Yes the pacing sometimes is rather fast so a lot of stuff in it isn't able to show what it needed to show and there are some good manhua but for example 2ha and qjj adaption. The art is pretty but at the same time their expression and story feel underwhelming. But when you read the novel it's much better
the art is actually good for Chinese manhua
