Realistically though, would someone really be able to kill themselves over 4000 times without any hesitation between each deaths? despite all the pain? and is perfectly sane after?
but it wasn't just that. we're shown earlier that he was spamming 'i want to be like him. i want to be like him. i want to be like him.'
the story is about a character tasting success and wanting it more than anything. he craves it. he needs it. and so in the beginning, when he cant have that and feels betrayed by someone who has everything- he's desperate. he's not thinking. he didn't have to kill himself 4000 times, but he... was never quite sane to begin with.
he killed someone who had everything he didn't, and he wanted that everything for himself. he's not completely sane. a sane person would have stopped at the lottery winning. he wants to be the best, so he eliminated the person that was standing in his way. it wasn't even all about him being evil. it's that, but other things too.
Korean manhwa is so much better than Japanese manga.
Maybe because I'm so sick of "Alpha, big dick seme dicking uke until dawn" and "beta uke does not consent to sexual activities? not an option. Pound him to nirvana anyway" trope in manga. Of course there are few exceptions.
shut up bitch
I wouldn't say much better but for me is more interesting. I'm not talking about art or any of this but storyline itself. For e.g. yuri/GL in japanese to me seems all cliche, same old same old. Of course in korean it has some cliche too but in generally is more authentic story line. Anyways, it's my opinion and no one has to agree it.
I'm so sick of the trend on Korean webtoon : rape, omegaverse, love triangle. Feel like Korean manhwa is always so dramatic, just like their KDrama. I just want a simple couple goes through hardship together or varied theme. Most popular Korean manhwa on this website are either dramatic, angsty, psycho love triangle or rapey, non-consensual.
A lot of it has to do with medium of publication too I think. Manga is more traditional paper publishing and they have to be scanned to be uploaded whereas webtoons and such are digitally created. Manga artist have more strict deadlines probably and so they go with the easiest story that'll sell. If you notice most manga stories start off really well and then the endings are rushed. Webtoons can have as many chapters as they want but the story tends to drag sometimes.
There are bad omegaverse in Korean manhwa too, and rape. Like BJ Alex, Love is Illusion, A guy like you, Back to school, etc. Korean manhwa is so over the top and people sleep around like crazy and messed up shits such as Love or Hate, Raising a bat, Rent Boy, Unfather, etc. And most of them are like Harada level of fck up or miscommunications to the maximum. You make it seems like only Japanese BL have that problem. At least Japanese BL has more theme than the current webtoon trend
Maybe I should have worded better. I feel like in manga, rape and all other psycho behaviour are considered rather trivial and often overlooked by the victim. Whereas it's the opposite in Manhwa.
Lets use Killing Stalking vs View Finder as an example(most view Manhwa vs most view Manga). Both has rape. Difference? In Killing Stalking the victim did not yearn for the perpetrator after they slept or spent intimate time together. He fucking hates him for 40+ chapters. Finder? Yearns for seme after 2nd rape.
I apologise for my poor wording. I agree there are fucked up shits in Manhwa as well (which is why I dropped Unfather tbh, not my cup of tea). The ratio of manga to manhwa on here is like, what? 500:1? so yeah they prob has more theme, doesn't mean it's better though. (like omega-verse, IMO, is quite shit the way it's portrayed).
both have their pros and cons. personally I prefer manga art over webtoon art, and their usually shorter length. i also enjoy owning real volumes. with the rape thing, obviously that's going to be a thing in both types, though maybe more prevalent in japanese manga. it just depends on finding good manga, which i could probably reccomend some right now lolol
Interesting topic. Why not both? Lol
I still think Yoneda Kou, Natsume Isaku, and Yamamoto Kotesuko could dominate some manhwas though. But your preference for manhwas is still valid, so you do you.
you said it yourself, the ratio is 500:1, so there are many bad ones that you read and you just generalize them all. While Korean Manhwa number is less, so the amount of bad and fcked up one in general is more than Japanese one. Just because you read more bad Japanese one, doesn't mean that it's bad. Omegaverse of Korean manhwa are not as bad like Japanese cause they don't have a lot but seeing from what I have read, they are still as bad. You are under the illusion that Japanese manga is bad because they have a larger number of manga. It's like you buy 100 eggs in Jmart and found 20 bad ones, that's 1/5 of the eggs are bad and but then you bought 40 eggs in Kmart and found 10 bad ones, that's 1/4. Just because you find 10 more bad eggs doesn't mean that Kmart is better.
Damn you need to chill.
Take this with you

did he immediately so? I think there a constant inner struggle between his infatuation, lust and desire to free himself in KS. The thing is, KS much elaborated the this struggle rather than in LVF considering the more traditional way mangas are published. But it's ur opinion though, so it does really matter - another of those who just conclusively says so groundless and mainstreaming.
wtf did I just read?
I was about to ask that
