I don't think you appreciate just how anti-feminist large segments (read cis-men) in South Korea currently are right now
Like to the point of cancelling female identifying celebrities (athletes, idols, YouTube personalities etc.) for things like having their hair short or reading certain books (that aren't even explicitly feminist).
My point is while it may seem 'boring' to you, showing women and men having interests that are the opposite of gendered expectations still are really, really important ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
South Korea is still deeply sexist, conservative and misogynistic unfortunately.
But it IS progressing! And any and all representation (however trivial) makes a difference
Well, what can we say. We are just a reader. The author have right of story to make. If you can't accept their trend, you can stop. No one stopping you.
I can understand the part of repeating the same trend and plot of story. Because I do get annoyed of certain repeating plot and character in manhwa that I read. It should align with 'same person but different font' phrase, I guess.
To sum up, didn't like it, just stop. For the one that like it, continue on. Anywayyysss.. happy reading.(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
But...aren't those misogynistic points exactly why the implicit and explicit illustrations of equality and folks not being bound by gendered roles?
Not trying to argue haha, just felt the need to reply
Ultimately as others said we are definitely at the will of the authors and their experiences & visions for their work
*WARNING*Spoilers.....
SO THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN AT THE END
GUESS WHAT? AS USUAL A SON AND A DAUGHTER..
BUT OFC THE SON HAS TO DISLIKE SWORDS AND BECOME A SO-CALLED INTELLECTUAL WHILE THE DAUGHTER BECOMES A SWORDMASTER OR SWORD PRODIGY ..
CAN'T U MAKE IT MORE PREDICTABLE..
I GET THE FEMINISTS VIBE KOREAN ARTISTS WANTS ... BUT THERE IS A LIMIT TO REPEATING THE SAME... NOT AGAINSTS GIRLS HOLDING A SWORD..... BUT OFC BEING INTELLECTUAL AND HOLDING SWORDS AIN'T SHAMEFUL...
