@WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix It doesn't even start that bad, actually. It's just that the author knows only two things: 1. Protag either curbstomps or loses until he somehow wins and 2. Make the protagonist look cool, all the time.

It's wish-fullfilment, that's it. If you're into that, you can add Solo Leveling to the pile. The characters don't matter, the plot doesn't matter, there is no depth, there is no real mystery, if you like flashy shit and posturing, Solo Leveling is your favorite.

@Immahnoob @WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix Its almost like the writer changed half way through

@MuscleOrc1221 @matrix @WTFPurpleAlpaca He didn't change halfway through, it's like a few chapters after the beginning, I doubt he planned anything else. :cat_laugh:

@Immahnoob @matrix @WTFPurpleAlpaca I was specifically referring to halfway through the first anime season but i have no idea how that translated to the manga. There was a definite hard turn though

@WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix It sounds like the one successful Korean knockoff of Japanese isekia, and now Koreans think they are in the game as well. But I don't really care to check either.

@WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix Imagine most stupid shit, a shounen character with wish fulfilment of a korean subhuman. Every woman wants to marry him. He is the most charismatic and likeable character, and people form mobs just to scream how they like him, even though he doest talk, but people just love him. Americans send agents to hire him, because americans are too weak and stupid and evil and they want koreans to work for them. He reunifies korea all by himself, because he is just that charismatic and cool, so even in good korea everyone loves him. He goes to shop to buy a phone, get yelled by salesman that he doesnt sell phones to the likes of him (protagonist is still the most popular guy in the universe), than protagonist goes to the next shop, buys the most expensive phone, and comes back to the previous shop, just to show that he had the money to spend on the most expensive phone, and the clerk gets fired, divorced and banished from the country forever.
Its incredibly stupid and petty, to the point where some parts become fascinating. Like a documentary on bug life, where they do some retarded rituals involving balls of shit. Same with chink shit, except protagonists rule the universe and rape legions of women, instead of bragging about buying a phone to strangers.

@Marakus @matrix Now I recall, I've dabbled in Manwa before, they're all variations on the "protag can't lose, women love him and is basically chink Jesus".

@Marakus @matrix @WTFPurpleAlpaca why the fuck does this describe at least a third of my ocs lmfao

@ninja8tyu @matrix @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca sinoid

@Marakus @matrix @WTFPurpleAlpaca Yeah. I kind of hold the opinion that Solo Leveling is genuinely a very bog standard power fantasy Manhwa. The only reason it really found legs as an anime (on top of the high animation fidelity helping it out) is that the average Shonen fan has never dipped their toes into the abyss of generic Manhwa, making it a fresh experience.

Also Manhua fundamentally isn't really that much better. Cultivation is basically the same thing as the Korean MMO grind setup, just like, more convoluted. It's generic slop is similar, just requires different esoteric knowledge to understand.

@supersid333 @matrix @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca reminder if you want to make koreans mad, just write their language system is descended from the mongolian crylic language system and chinese
I guarantee you will have hate mail and messages threatening your life for it

@luithe @supersid333 @matrix @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca Or make fun of their flag

@Tamamo @supersid333 @matrix @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca meh, not as funny as insulting their language as a mongoloid descendant language to piss them off to losing to the Mongols

@Tamamo @luithe @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix @supersid333 I'm stealing this

@luithe @matrix @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca I still think their writing system is probably the most interesting and well thought out of the Asian language.

At least spoken Korean isn't Spoken Chinese

@supersid333 @Marakus @WTFPurpleAlpaca @matrix i mean as an avid manhua manhwa reader there is wayyyy more villianess slop since reading a lot of them they arent thaaat much different from each othet

@smugumin @matrix the question is:
why do retards keep consooming such bad content?

Because it's the fad of the moment. Like many other things

@smugumin @matrix pretty much

@smugumin @matrix I told my friend once this genre is basically ready player 1 (but asian)
