Any similar stories like https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/return_of_the_flowery_mountain_sect/ ?
Basically an op mc who is also silly, isn't a pervert/horndog, no romance(which also means no annoying "important" character who's whole purpose is to have a crush on the mc. If it's a side character that only shows up one time, then idc.), please no annoying character(ik this story has "annoying" characters that later become best buds with the mc, but I'm talking about the type of annoying character that doesn't get ANY punishment/beating from the mc and just gets excused cuz of their background), and please NO hentai/ecchi/fan service that is only geared for men. Talking about the type of fan service that can only be created by a male author. Also!!! Art is important for me. Would love if the art isn't the generic shounen art.
I think this is request is impossible as I've most likely read all of the good manhwas
With the issue we had with lists, I lost one of my fav manhwas ever. It's basically comedy with action. I forgot the right term, but their setting is like old Chinese times where they learn martial arts(???) The mc's group is plum blossom. Someone betrays their group and everyone dies. YEARS pass by, the mc reincarnates and their group who was once known as one of the, if not THE best group is now poor with barely any students. Also, the mc also has a bestfriend who was an expert with poison. Over all, this is a leak story lol
Nvm my friend found it it's https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/return_of_the_flowery_mountain_sect/ for anyone wondering.
Anyone has good recommendation of shoujo/josei manhwas?? No cheater/neglectful/dumb as hell mls!

What's the appeal with playboy/cheater mls? Like genuinely. What's the appeal? I never understood that attraction. I remember as a kid I would have classmates who would fawn over guys who r basically every girl's bf once, and they still fawn for them...?? Maybe I'm too neurodivergent to understand this mindset, but I rlly don't get it.
it's cuz of the potential payoff / emotional catharsis. the ml being a cheater/playboy is a very intentional choice by the author, and usually means the process of "taming" him will be more arduous and angsty, but that also means he will suffer/grovel more when he falls for mc. a lot of these stories with this ml archetypes are associated with classist fantasies with unequal social statuses/dynamics, so when mc makes the usually more rich playboy ml fall for them and earn their devotion, the catharsis is peak bc not only did they win over guy no one else can tame, they also get wealth, attention, social status, power, etc. (speaking out of my ass based on observations of "romance stories" in general, there are prob some exceptions that deal with a playboy/cheater ml in a non-power fantasy way)
Imo, a lot of these playboy mls don't even grovel. A lot of them just stay the way they are, while the fl is usually always a doormat. This is how I came to hate shoujo mangas in highschool settings. Cuz why is it always a playboy ml and a doormat fl?? And why is it whenever it's a manhwa and the title is ALWAYS something about divorce but the fls never follow through. And somehow the readers who are fans of those type of tropes, call the fl a baddie...?? All I see is a bird.
never said they were good grovel. a lot of authors are afraid to go the extra mile cuz they want a palatable story for a broader audience, and to wrap it up with a happy ending, so grovel arcs tend to be very dissatisfying. I'm just noting a theme in these stories, which are just a classist + romance power fantasy for self-insert mc, and a playboy rich ml and doormat mc dynamic is rife with melodrama, so that's what sells. people like drama, and the payoff of "taming" such an ml into a devoted lover/dog. that's literally it. a virgin, soft boi, green flag, devoted from the get-go ml? that's a different kind of fantasy. i personally have gotten tired/bored of reading otome isekai as i have a lot of complaints as well. so i rec taking a break from them or being more selective, cuz most authors will keep using these tropes since they are what sells and they don't have the ability to write a unique story that is also profitable.
Anyone has recs with psychopathic or neurodivergent mcs? Like https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_dare_you/
Anyone knows any similar manhwas like this?
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/holy_night_my_husband_is_definitely_a_paladin/ (basically guideverse, or the fl/ml returns time)
Preferably a redeemable ml, not someone who fully neglects, abused, or cheats on the fl! And a fl who doesn't wanna go back to the ml, not just some whimsy words and still falling immediately to the ml.
Anyone got any recs of mc who's abused as a child, can be that they were experimented, enslaved, and etc. Something like aura?? The examples I could think of it's Evil ring and https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_ll_retire_after_saving_the_world/ .
Please NO harem, romance, or annoying characters that will eventually become the MC's friend(for example, tsunderes who have some sort of mental issue where they would just beat the mc up for whatever reason) Would be great if the art is good.
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_ll_retire_after_saving_the_world/uu/br_chapter-274173/pg-1/
i think the main character was captured as a child but than saved pretty early on the story. so maybe you will like it

Anyone has similar fl's such as this story? https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/touch_your_body/
Just a neurodivergent girlie
