>Korean nerd gets bullied >Works hard to self-improve >Japanese nerd gets bullied >Is isekai'd with an OP cheat skill to live life on easy mode Why is it always like this?
>>283336837>Korean nerd gets bullied>Gets a cheat skill in the real world and becomes a bully himselfIt's more like that.
>>283336837Anytime I start seeing manhwa getting posted on a booru, imageboard, manga site, or anywhere, I start the clock for the site shutdown. I wish people wouldn't be retarded by adding the litigious attractor to their reservoirs.
>>283336837Because no amount of hard work is going to let you climb the social totem pole if you're already at the bottom.
>>283336936Bato won't die at least. It's already been killed so many times but keeps coming back.
Why Koreans is so obsessed with social status?
>>283336837>American nerd gets bullied>shoots up school
>>283337139Korea is a soulless place where the meaning of life is literally just to bullshit your way into a position to shit over others and get your dick sucked by people that want the rewards that come with being associated with you.
>>283337139Their society is as plastic as it gets.
>>283336837But that's wrong OP, the actual korean equivalent of naroushit is huntershit, and in these stories the protag also gets his dick thanks to getting an overpowered system that makes him the strongest SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-rank hunter
>>283336837Manwhas needs more anime
>>283337181favstian as fvck bugs could never
>>283336837recently people have gotten obsessed with the idea hat you need to do "self improvement" to deserve anything in life... and said self improvement has the express goal of making yourself look better, get laid or obtain wealth. this is what zoomers consider virtuous now? the exact opposite of what older generations valued?
>>283336837Because koreans are more resentful. They want to BTFO those who wronged them while nips want to leave everything traumatic behind and start again in a world without BigNoses and boomers
>>283337346Zoomers were met with expensive everything, they literally spend more time surviving over living. Boomers can't understand this because life was easier for them, but for kids, they obviously want money to settle asap instead of just wait till their 40s to live alone
>>283336837>japanese nerd gets bullied>he maybe gets revenge and becomes a better person>korean nerd gets bullied>becomes a complete sociopath and asshole to anyone he meets
>>283337346If you don't want to make the effort to improve yourself you don't deserve anything. Boomers understood this. It's zoomers who think they're entitled to success.
>>283337497boomers didn't openly think the best way to judge humans was by their bodies and wealth, though, they still believed in character.
>>283337497Boomers were given everything for free though
>>283336837>>>/trash/>>>/co/>>>/kys/
>>Koreansnvm
>>283337497>>283337602I mean, that's easy when they had enough money to live. But just tell them about their pensions being reduced a 2% and watch them SCREECH, and these are people who had decades to save money
>>283336837For how egregious the korean/chinese revenge plots tend to be, I at least appreciate their honesty. Every single "I got expelled from hero's party" is also a revenge story, except it's painfully passive-aggressive in how the bullies/abusers eat shit after throwing out a hypercompetent but humble and underappreciated protagonist, as if the universe itself was doing the job of righting the wrongs while all the protag will do is saying>No, I'm not going back to being your footstool, you were mean to me and that's rude! You deserve your current issues for never saying thank you!
>>283337735401k was a mistake, it's single most retarded thing us has and I don't understand why people put up with it
>Hey this concept is done differently depending on who wrote it>This somehow relates to generational shitflinging
>>283337139South Korea has the harshest educational system on the planet, from day 1 the average middle to high school student is "lobotomized" to study as hard as they can so they can enter one of the following conglomerates, Samsung Group, LG, Hyundai or SK, Alternatively you could also attempt to get a governmental job. The KPOP industry is another alternative which is why there are hundreds of thousands of groups doing shows locally so they can maybe hit with a Studio. It all boils down to the culture of the country, 1 or 100. There are many cheap documentaries on YouTube if you're interested.
>>283336837What the fuck are you talking about dude. They always get some stupid video game menu that lets them beat up the "evil gangsters in school". God Koreans are so petty it's hilarious.
I unironically liked lookism until it became a fightfag longstrip.
>>283337181We used to let kids bring guns to school and bullying wasn't punished as much and it happened less.
>>283337181The idea that school shooters add bully victims is mostly a myth.
>>283339071Me tooNow the theme is pointless and everyone is a sameface idol
Where the FUCK is the webtoon adaptation? It's been like 1.5 years since it got announcedTLs got nuked as well and author didn't allow it to be published in EnglishIs it cursed or something?
>>283339071It was a really honest story and it used the premise in a fun way a lot of the times
>>283336837>Korean nerd gets bullied >Writes a comic where he becomes the coolest guy
>>283336837I'm in my 30s, unemployed and incel. But I was never bullied, I also was never mistreated by women. I can't empathize with these stories.
>>283339071>liked X until it became a fightfag longstripWhy are gooks so obsessed with bully inflation? Pretty much every story in a school setting devolves into>small time bully does evil stuff>brings bigger bully after getting BTFO>bigger bully brings yuge bully who also gets BTFO>yuge bully brings adults/mafia/yakuzaand repeat ad infinitum until police jails everyone or something, like that random chat comic? it was pretty soulful at the start, then it just became fightslop after fightslop spinning its wheels for hundreds of chapters
>>283338345It's frankly quite sad. I wish koreans were chill.
>>283338345This post reminds me that I picked this one up on a whim I usually don't read stuff with female protagonists but it's actually pretty good
ok but what's with the copious amount of stories about getting dommed by a yandere harem
>>283338345This is standard in Asia.
>>283339738does she have sex?
>>283339650they seem to really like gangs in general
>>283339513>>283339550It had decent social commentary on judging people and everything but also introspection in improving oneself and mindset in general. The tone shift to just gang fights gave me whiplash
>>283336837self improvement is copelook at how fucking ugly and fat the world's most influential people are
>>283336876This
>>283340189appearance aside, 99% of those people were also born with significant advantages.
>>283336837>JP fantasy: going to another dimension/world>KR fantasy: working hard and improving themselves
the real fantasy is getting something for your efforts
>>283340520Bruh...
>>283340415real life is not a meritocracy and actually that's a good thing
>>283339370and then the fire nation invaded
>>283340520Your efforts will always be rewarded, the reward might just so happen to be disappointment.
>>283340710I think it's unironically that they started cracking down on good old fashioned physical violence and now if somebody wants to bully someone that have to pull some gay ass social isolation bullshit that's way harder to deal with than just getting punched and calling it a day.
>>283339071I like viral hit and manager kim aka lookism spin offs. My Life as a Loser was great too
>>283338345The problem with asian and white boomers is that they are the only generation and race refusing to use the technology to improve life and make the future generations life better. Even thirdworlders use part of the wealth so their kids poop more children.It's just to stroke those fart egos. It's why white and asian people under 40 have nothing in common with old ones: why would we want to enslave future kids? It's absurd. No, I don't need to watch some poor guy nape pretending to work just to feel "powerful". Most jobs don't require this much preparations. A woman that's not too smart shouldn't kill herself for not getting good scores, she could have been a good wife and mother instead. Forcing men to hang out with their shitty boss doesn't help either.It's why we can't connect with them. Their joy in life depends on enslaving some literally who's
>>283339071Blame Lookism fans for asking the creator to kill Jiho. Killing Jiho literally killed Daniel's arc, it's why the creator prefers Jake as the mc now
>>283336837The so-called "nip way" is the correct one on this issue though. The so-called "gook way" of "working hard to self-improve" is essentially just to keep doing the same but hopefully trying harder this time with nothing but willpower, which is about as effective as New Years' Resolutions, i.e. after maybe some marginal success for the first 1-3 days it ends up being completely useless in 99.9% of cases and you go back to your usual loser routine. So what makes the nips approach better then? The answer lies in the change of environment. A change in environment forces you to create a new routine, which is an actual opportunity to truly change something in your life. You just have to make sure that the new routine is actually better. In the worst case you might end up with an even worse routine than before, so make sure you get it right before the new status quo sets in, else you'll have to reset your environment again. So what does changing your environment mean IRL? It can be as simple as changing the crowd you usually hang around with over to changing your workplace or current residence to another town/city, all the way to actually ex-migrating to another nation. The scale you are willing to go with is something you'll have to choose for yourself.
>>283340415Rich people used to have good genes and good education. Nowadays they are schizos marrying with (((hags))) and having mentally ill children. They look ugly, they act ugly. It's why they are mad that poorer people don't admire them anymore, most celebrities look like losers now
>>283336837Any good amwf manhwas?
>>283339650>Random chat comicViral hit?
>>283339507It's worse if you investigate a little. Those kids conveniently shoot random people. Iirc there was this kid who was caught in some weird vid about some yid company. They are probably mk ultra kids hired to remove some rich son for the inheritance
>>283340592there is some meritocracy, there is also tons of luck. if you're part of the top 1% in your field there's no way you're not gonna be at least well-off, but anything less and you might need connections/family wealth to make a difference.
>>283336837Manager Kim is kinoAlso live action announced
>>283339650Oh boy, just wait until you ever try any chink cultivation stuff... compared to that, the gooks are quite the moderates in that regard.
>>283341718Isekai is just nips trying to escape from the shitty boomer world
>>283336837>French nerd gets bullied>surrenders to the bullies
>>283341960I would at least make a point that chink cultivation stuff is fundamentally "people fight", so no wonder it becomes fightslop The problem with gooks is that they shoehorn the bully fighting in stuff that had nothing to do with it
>>283337181>>283341382>school/mass shootings drastically increase around the turn of the century>massive uptick in the late 2000s, coinciding with the rise of smartphones and surging popularity of social mediaWhat did Americans mean by this?
>>283342160All FBI psyops btw
Koreans are weird
>>283341691Thats where it completely dived. Jiho should have been the final villain. He was cooking with him. Do joker shit. Korean fags wanted gay gang shit instead
>>283336837You can't self improve out of being asian manlet with small mutilated dick. Even you get to be billionaire and marry woman with 10/10 looks she will still cuck you with her chad personal trainer or something like this. Japanese got this shit right. Only literal death and rebirth can fix you.
>>283336837Cause the Koreans have to feed their population the lie of social mobility in their society, even though there is no carrot just the stick and the glass ceiling is made out of bulletproof gorilla glass. Either you are born rich or you suffer forever.The Japanese seem to go for a more cynical approach
>>283336837>>Korean nerd gets bullied >>Works hard to self-improve>Instantly becomes the only male that matters in the series and becomes the strongest and he's "JUST SO COOL"Lets not pretend anon. Korean stories has it's own sins.
>>283336837>Solo Leveling>MC gets powers nobody has access to for no reason. >does nothing except purposefully aurafarm after he becomes a different character.
i feel pity for korea they want to be Japanese so hard
>>283344554>part of his "character growth" is becoming a foot taller when in his mid 20s.
>>283337629does /co/ allow Korean stuff?I never see them there
>>283345328No, it's retarded how you can't post manwhas manhuas anywhere
>>283343812Pretty much, Jiho was Daniel if gone wrong and wasn't helped by the 2 bodies magic. Now Daniel is pretty empty as a character and the writer was forced to drop Jiho vs Daniel and Jiho/Jake arc. I kinda suspect him ignoring the Jay fujos is kind of a revenge.I dunno why Korean readers are so sensitive, yeah, Jiho was disgusting THAT was the point retards
>read pic related which is another Lookism spin off/Viral Hit sequel >One of the bullies get gangraped by 3 ojisans
>>283345558based
>>283344578They want the cultural influence and adoration Japan has despite lacking the things that earned that
>>283345502I guarantee why Jiho was so disliked by bugmen is that he is a mirror to their face. I see in Jiho every highschooler who wants to be cool and liked and have friends. Every high schooler had that part in them. Jiho was that x10 but he reminded people too much about negative aspects of themselves. It was so cool where they were going with that.I wish artists were competent enough at drawing gradual weight loss (in general) too. Daniel gradually losing weight would have been good instead of poofing skinny like a lot of power fantasies do to fat MCs in the first episode. I speak as someone who lost 120 pounds. The shift in how you look from 20 vs 40 vs 60 pound losses etc is cool
>>283336837>why are the Japanese better than koreansIt's not that big of a mystery.
>>283347648Before Japanese occupation Koreans had the life expectancy comparable to medieval Europe in the goddamn 20th century. So yeah, I'm sure Koreans are pining for the days where 40 was considered old and women weren't given names until they were married.
>>283339738picked up, great read
>>283339738I only read these two>>283340002Mostly yuribait
