@akashako about the language type I wouldn't mind, but it also feels kind of wrong since it isn't a language nor a lack of a language ("textless"). Perhaps it might make more sense as a category type, but even then it's more of a sub-category since it can be a manga, a webtoon or anything else. It also wouldn't be the only meta tag (tags that describe how the work is presented rather than what the work contains), such as "incomplete", "tankoubon", "first person perspective" (this last one I'm actually not sure if it would count), etc. Perhaps making a "meta tags" type could work. I don't think it's necessary either way, but it would make things a bit cleaner overall

This is not bad. I think it might make more sense in the language type.

I guess it's time I come up with a description: The work is presented without any speech bubbles (characters talking or thinking). There can still be narrative bubbles (rectangle shapes often on the top right of a panel) or sound effects (sfx). END. Also here is an a really good example:

I saw someone suggesting "textless" as a language. I think "no speech bubbles" would still be its own tag as it can include works where there is just the narrator speaking or even just floating text

I guess I'll give an actual explanation. I was initially just looking for tagless entries, and I happened to see tags like this one, which is basically never used, and since we don't have the option of removing it and I couldn't see anything to merge it with, I had the idea of repurposing it. It would still pretty much apply to all current entries (since they have no real speech bubble) and it can be added to all those entries that have no dialogues, just descriptions, only sfx, or even no words at all. I think it can really be helpful
