Why is it the view of the Love interest less important? You're saying that when it comes to a story it's usually the main character who is the one with weight and questioning why the love interest is the one who is usually skinny or fit. In common stories where everyone is skinny there's always emphasis or importance put into what the love interest thinks and feels towards mc. Does it suddenly become not relevant because the main character is the one who has weight? We may see through the POV of the main character but it's still a story. The characters choose each other.
"Absolute Regression" if you're looking for a story where the love interest is the one with weight and main character is slim.
idk ur argument feels disingenuous, you have to realize just based off how manhwas are portrayed that fat people are already a small portion of the characters shown, a story with a fat couple is going to not be picked up by publishers because it will not be seen as a profitable investment. one can be excused as a niche market especially if they can dress it up as a curvy woman or a neet loser guy getting the hot girl
at the end of the day its got nothing to do with what fat people want, a skinny person has to be involved in someway for the story to get traction as far as most people are concerned.
Finally someone actually answered. Cuz fat x fat doesn’t sell. Youre uncomfortable with the topic so you find it disingenuous but what really disingenuous is pretending that manhwa authors purposely make Love interests non fat. Why because everyone in this comment section is fatphobic including …..fat people
(Yap incoming) This doesn’t happen in manhwa but real life too. Shows always show the “unattractive” guy get the hot girl. Or the “unattractive” girl get the hot guy. Why don’t “unattractive” ever get to want each other?. That was my point.
Personally I don’t care where I post my thoughts. I think the story in itself is pretty good thus far compared to most manhwa slop. But I have noticed on mangago you can’t say anything that isn’t
A. A popular opinion everyone has already commented “e.g we hate character B!”
B. This Story is so good! Don’t like don’t read! No discussions here or else it’s criticism
C. Thirsting
If I’m honest I don’t get this point. Where did I say the love interest's appearance doesn't matter? My point is that it DOES matter. I just noticed a trend that when the female lead is plus-sized, the male love interest is usually slim, and when the male lead is plus-sized, the female love interest is usually slim. I was wondering why manhwas rarely pair two plus-sized romantic leads together.
Also you’re disingenuous because how are you replying and saying ”let fat women have this” as if I'm trying to take something away, but I'm not. I'm asking why the genre rarely depicts two plus-sized romantic leads. Wanting more variety isn't the same as saying mixed-size couples shouldn't exist. Like wtf was that about. Reaching final boss

But I did notice whenever FML is fat the ML is not. Whenever ML is fat the FL is not. Do fat ppl not wanna date other fat ppl in manhwas? Are manhwa authors cowards?
(The way everyone is assuming I hate this story when I like the fact that the FL is chubby??? And I also like this story??? Like??? I just pointed out in male focused manhwas or female focused manhwas the opposite sex aka love interest is usually skinny. Why is everyone avoiding the point? Not everything criticism….you can just chat about trends in manhwas you can see. Way too aggro for a manhwa…
And since when did my comment turn into people claiming I’m attacking fat women.” People are literally making up points they wanna debate )
