The 50% manuals runs while you're offline.
The 20% manuals usually stop their timer when you're offline. I say 'usually' because I just recently found out that the 20% manual comes in multiple variants (1 day, 1 hour, etc.) and I have only tested the 1 day manuals.
The item descriptions on both the master manual and ordinary manuals don't mislead you though.

Still doesn't make sense that those 24hr master battle manual run out during offline time too. They're 24hr for a reason after all, its not like someone (normal) would stay literally 24hr in a row, grinding, no interruptions, just to make the most of a xp scroll. Unless of course you macro/bot, or you're seriously messed up. Both of which should not be encouraged, in any way, by the developers themselves. This just screams "greed" on their part, tbh.

The thing is that a 50% 24h manual makes you want to stay awake as long as possible... and by that way, the devs can 'fake' their online statistics. The 20% 24h manual on contrast makes you to leave as soon as possible to stop the countdown timer, which isn't helping with the social part of the game.
The only good manual are those with a short duration, but they are kind of cumbersome as you have to keep track of the cooldown and you might want to ask your current party whether they want to continue for that long.
Last but not least, another kind of manual is the VIP ticket, which was originally designed to replace the monthly fee with a 'must-have' in-game item.
The worst thing is that all these manuals stack!!! So you can't even choose the right one according to your lifestyle. F.e. I have a full-time job and usually play on weekends. So a 7day VIP feels more like a 2day VIP for me.

I also work full-time so when I grind, I have all of those activated to make the most of my time. I do remember the old RO1 times where we sync our Field Manuals and stay around for those with theirs still up.
I just dislike how VIP is so necessary in that there's so much bonus stats on it.
