What the hell happened to Manhwa? It is somehow even worse than modern day manga/anime today despite showing potential a long time ago
Korea has always been a poor man's Japan.
>>286647049For some time they tried to mimic manga but then they decided to conquer the west with webtoons, where colored pages adapted for phone scrolling are the only selling points
South Korea is basically a capitalist hellhole so anything resembling art just becomes twisted into a commodity to selll
>>286647049People say that Korea has all the problem that Japan has and crank it up to eleven so when Japan decline, Korea decline as well
>>286647180What impresses me that instead of learning what is wrong with their storytelling they just minmaxed drama
>>286647049Korea took all of the problem that Japan has and make it tenfolds. That includes shitting up the bed and Obnoxious, loyal fanbase
>>286647049They want to compete with the Nips so much that they consider decreasing your media quality as a competition
>>286647049I decided to give Tower of God a chance and to be fair I was pretty engrossed in the story... until the Hell Train arc. I was reading it as it was being published and the author was so slow in uploading new chapters that I gave up on it completely. Since then I've sworn off manwha forever.
>>286647049solo leveling happened.
>>286647357Tower of God feels like it has canon filler arcs
>>286647049Unironic Answer?ChaebolBasically, back in the 80's S.Korean economy was in dire. In desperation to catch up to the world, the government allowed just 5 families to obtain a monopoly over their entire national economyIt was a huge success. Their economy became a powerhouse that can compete with the world in such a short time.But because it was a complete, unrestricted monopoly, late stage capitalism immediately set it. It became a full-blown capitalist dystopia80% of the entire country is owned directly and indirectly by Samsung, and the government itself is nothing but their puppet.Everything is owned by a few families who do not care about the people and even actively pushes them to corporate enslavement.Mahwas are just one of the countless industries that got swallowed by the Chaebols who turned out to be literal Satanists 100% seriousSatan walks the earth. Best to hold your crosses, always
>>286647316They often go down even faster than most Japshit. Project moon had like 4 good years before killing itself overnight with Limbus (10 more years)
>>286647049Power fantasies and fujo/kpop romantic fantasy pandering proved to be extremely popular so they focused on that instead of efforts like Veritas and Ragnarok
>>286647049>despite showing potential a long time agoWhen? When did it ever show potential? Manhwa has always been shit, especially since it's so tied to the soulless format known as "webcomics" where there is zero creativity in paneling and where every artistic consideration puts mobile accessibility before everything else.
>>286647049Writing and drawing edgy stuff and aura farming pretty boys have limitations.
>>286647049Where did you get this in high res? I thought the only scans we had were from 20 years ago.I'd be up to re-read SAO if there's good scans.
>>286647049>koreans make almost exclusively power fantasy shit>barely any military/mecha manhwabaffling
>>286647049Finally read this>Pros-Great start-Kino fight scenes-Women are sex, they get better as the series goes>Cons-Shit translation even on Webtoon-MC is walking plot armor-Setting is lifeless and empty-Story moves at a snail’s pace-Constant blueballing-Drops the main power system -Introduces a dozen plots and continue none of them
>>286647049They gonna to finish Ragnarok one day soon right?
>>286648038Modern audiences are too retarded to see these limitations tho
I literally do not care about Gook/Chink toilet paper. This thread is not anime or manga.
