This delinquent/popular guy moves to the country side and goes to his new school, there’s this other guy and eventually they fall in love it’s very sweet but also angsty, it’s kind of similar to yang ill woo and i and happy kuso life but it’s a school setting and the premise is a bit different. It’s a manga not a manhwa though, I also remember it having a fairly high rating
One of these? Unlikely but I tried lol

I'm honestly tired of villain protagonists in manhwa, not because the concept is bad, but because so many stories handle it poorly. A lot of these "villains" aren't actually written as villains they're given tragic backstories that function less as characterization and more as a shield against criticism. The narrative bends over backwards to justify everything they do, and readers often treat any critique of the character as an attack on the story itself just because they're the mc.
Also, a lot of these stories also have misogynistic undertones and I'm tired of people pretending they don't. The FL is constantly put through the worst things imaginable for drama while the ML gets endless sympathy and excuses. His trauma explains everything, but hers is just there to make readers feel bad for her. The FL spends the entire story suffering while the ML spends the story being forgiven.
they're almost never written with any actual depth. Half the time their entire personality is just their trauma. Every decision they make gets reduced as an action due to a sob story, and we're expected to treat that as complex characterization. And what annoys me even more is that people will defend literally anything they do because they're the MC. The character can commit mass murder and if you even whisper a critique you'll get bashed. Apparently being traumatized means they're above criticism. A tragic backstory can explain someone's behavior, but it shouldn't replace their personality. I don't find it deep when a character is reduced to "they do this because they're traumatized” It feels emotionally immature. people are more than the worst thing that ever happened to them, but these stories act like trauma is the only thing that exists about a character.
That's why so many of these stories feel like misery porn to me. The FL can never catch a break because her suffering is essentially the plot. And somehow after all that, I'm supposed to root for a couple that has zero chemistry beyond trauma and obsession. ╥﹏╥
Sound a whole lot like Forgotten field
exactly what I was referring to lol, I didn’t get the hype at all ngl
I’ve noticed action manhwa fandoms & just manhwa fandoms in general get weirdly defensive the second queer ships are mentioned. Nobody is forcing a canon relationship, but people react to BL/GL ships like they’re ruining the story, while straight ships in the same fandom get treated as normal fandom behavior. And the “all BL/GL is slop” argument is especially ridiculous considering romance exists in every genre and there are plenty of well-written queer stories.
It’s especially obvious in fandoms around works like The S-Classes That I Raised or Special Civil Servant where people will insist the series is “pure action” while simultaneously getting angry over fans interpreting character chemistry differently. Shipping has always been part of fandom culture people only seem to treat it like a problem when it’s queer.
Action manhwa fandoms act like queer ships are some kind of attack on the genre. Straight shipping is “fun fandom content,” but the second someone makes it BL or GL people start ranting about “slop,” “ruining the story,” or “forcing romance.” It’s such an obvious double standard. Like nobody forced you to ship anything, nobody held a gun to your head and made you read queer fanfic. people will see ONE gay ship edit and suddenly start screaming about “fetishizers” “slop” “keep romance out of action” meanwhile straight ships have existed in fandom forever and nobody says shit.
and the way some people talk about BL/GL or queer media in general is actually so weird to me. calling all queer romance “slop” or acting like gay people existing in fandom spaces is some kind of contamination is weird. especially because half these action manhwa have more chemistry between the male leads than the actual canon romances anyway
people are also getting way too sensitive over preferences. if someone likes BL, GL, or queer ships more than straight romance that literally does not affect you. fandom is supposed to be fun, but some of y’all act personally offended the second queer people participate in it. it essentially gives insecurity & sensitivity.
Wait till you see the anime fandom it's even worse
Trust me, ik those Naruto and one piece fans are insane. Sensitivity on max
they be actin like queer characters/queer ships keeps on popping in their shows when straight ships are too..like there's romance in between action,fantasy,horror shits and they js keep a blind eye, but when it comes to queer characters they shit on it..
*ehem ehem windbreaker anime fans having a breakdown when a queer character shows up*
exactly, all of a sudden when someone even WHISPERS a queer ship it’s, “oh I prefer no romance in my action ikyk ….” Like okay… the closet will literally be glass and the actionbros will still be in denial
Jjk dudebros are insane as well
omg bro this, they will literally doxx you for shipping itadori x megumi
wth? isn't it even weirder for an action manhwa to have romance? I especially hate when an action manhwa have romance. And the s classes that I raised and Special Civil Servant IS NOT PURE ACTIONS AT ALL, IT IS QUEER BAITING. Like in s classes that I raised, Yoojin HAVE BABIES THAT LITERALLY LOOK LIKE HYUNJAE AND YOOHYUN, ITS GAYER THAN ORV. AND DONT GET ME STARTED WITH SPECIAL CIVIL SERVANT, THE ARTIST LITERALLY DREW OMEGA MARU COUNTLESS TIMES!
It's not like the shipping of the same gender will change the fcking plot of the story, they're overreacting
THIS!!! EXACTLY… like trust me you will liveeee. Some special civil servant fans are so incredibly insufferable when it comes to people shipping anything but him and kang Chana. ( mind u he has more dynamic with nachal who is literally his supposed enemy ) Literally more people complaining about queer ships than people actually shipping queer ships. And s class that I raised the actionbros are actually so insane, I’ve seen people say it’s slop just because it has queer undertones and a multi-shipping fanbase. Like how does the fanbase affect you as a reader at all? Just read and get on with your day. Naruto and sasuke all over again
the thing is the queer ship make so much sense than the straight ship!
People were literally trying to cancel which hat atelier coz of that one canon gay couple
People be saying tartah is coco's husband and shit I HAVE EVEN SEEN PEOPLE SHIP QIFREY AND COCO COZ THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ORUFREY
I'm not someone who reads action (I kind of want to but nothing ever catches my eye), but this genuinely just reminds me how weird the internet is cause I actually see the OPPOSITE more often as someone who only reads the romance genre (BL and straight).
Like those people call anything straight "slop" or "male-gaze" but get upset if you don't read queer/BL/GL stories, or go on a straight story and say they wished it were BL.
I gen don't understand how seeing any sexuality in a piece of media is such a life or death problem to some people?? If anything some genres (Imo) just don't need romance at all, like horror.
Exactly, if you don’t like it then don’t read it and get on with your day. Lesbian, gay, straight, what does it matter they’re still people it really shouldn’t affect your life or make an impact, if it does it just says a lot about you as a person. Het stories have gems & so do queer stories. They all have their ups and downs and you shouldn’t be oppressed for liking one more than the other. And same, I’m actually not too big of an action fan. I only read the ones that truly catch my eye, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really like romance in action. I don’t think it matters what the fanbase does or ships because your entitled and free to have your own opinion… it’s never that serious tbh
That’s actually gross I haven’t been too caught up in the witch hat atelier fandom but shipping a literal minor x adult just because ur too much of a wuss to accept a queer ship in 2026 is insane. Some people are just so stupid. Any ship is fine as long as it’s legal
Literally It just feels so weird that there are people capable of going out of their way to act like that yk??? They look so silly when they crash out over something so feeble.
Am I the only one who hates in BL when they add in a random unnecessary threesome? Obviously im okay when it’s a poly BL but i mean when the focus is supposed to be on one main couple. One example is codename Anastasia, I feel like that wasn’t needed for the plot to make sense. Maybe that’s just me tho
Oh like when you expect the couple to be 2 people but author adds random third guy to have sex (let me guess, probably 99% rape) with one or both of them? I think that's a valid reason to hate lol. Sometimes more is not better when it comes to relationships.
Yeah that’s exactly what I meant, they have a bunch of emotional build up with the main couple and then boom all of a sudden “everyone”
Any het romance manhwa with the black cat fl x golden retriever ml trope? Preferably modern setting but I don’t mind historical as well. ^^
what’s your guys first bl/yaoi? mine were heaven’s official blessing and reverse thinking
Killing stalking, it was terrifying but I couldn't dropped it because I thought it was illegal to dropped a manga.

Is there any manga with representation of Mongolian culture? Besides brides story because I’ve already read it. I think mongolia has such beautiful culture but I never see any representation in manga or manhwa.
Yk what, you're right so imma camp here
https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/tags/mongolia
I also recommend reading this subreddit because the OP gives their honest opinion on a Mongol based manga https://www.reddit.com/r/mongolia/comments/1qlho02/first_impressions_of_manga_about_shows_mongolia/
thank you so much ur my savior
hihi ofc!!
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.
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 (≧∀≦)
any author's like harada and asada nemui?
akabeko, ogawa chise
thank you!
