I think you should write one! (≧∀≦)
I would but I’m not exactly sure how to get it published as a novel, then find an artist to adapt it, etc… ╥﹏╥
You can try submitting a manuscript to known publishers and see if you can get it picked up! If they think it's worth investing in/of interest in the market and will have a sizeable audience, the rest will just follow～ ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
thank you! Thats actually a good idea. Maybe after my writing skills improve (≧∀≦)
I feel like a lot of the newer manhwa that has been coming out lately is just so repetitive. It’s like copy & paste, can we get something new and unique for once? Of course, this doesn’t apply for all the newer manhwa. I’ve found some really good gems recently, but only a select few have really caught my eye.
I don’t have a problem with isekai or villainess trope, in fact I actually love this trope, but nowadays it feels like rinse and repeat. Storyline is always the same and for some reason, they always make characters insufferable.
I don’t think I’ve actually ever read an isekai/historical manhwa with a well-written complex, morally grey mc. They’re always either just emotionally immature, or shallow. And why is it that they always have some sort of back story as an excuse for their actions? It’s like some sort of self righteous attempt at justification.
I honestly think villains without tragic backstories can be way more interesting. Every villain nowadays gets some long explanation about childhood trauma or betrayal to “justify” why they’re evil, but sometimes a character being evil just because they choose to be is more unsettling and complex. Like, why can’t we see them do something insane first before getting a soft emotional explanation? A character who’s fully aware of what they’re doing feels more unpredictable than someone whose actions are reduced to trauma. Not every bad person needs a redemption setup or a sad origin story. Sometimes plain evil is more compelling because you can’t fully explain it away.
