Stories these days have no fkn plot. It's all just smut stories where 80% is smut and 20% is plot.
Where have the times gone? We used to have smut as well as plot??? Where is my chemistry???? Where is my sexual tension??? These mf be having 2 panels of sexual tension and then start humping each other in the 3rd panel
I know right. i thought I'm just getting bored of reading and it's one of my hobbies so i get worried, but no cuz when i still read with an actual plot to this day i felt what i used to feel when i read one before, pure bliss and sadness and comfort, everything
but stories and characters these days feels like it's all the same with just different font and you're so real with humping in the 3rd panel what the fack is that
There are better entertainment sources to find plot... I believe drawing a manga/hwa/hua is hard and it's best done as a novel adaptation but a lot of artists want to draw their own stories
It is still a market and one that's very fast (one week to a month for a ch plus not that many hiatus is tiring for a one person production) and competitive (agencies, multiple entries, "sell me a story with a oneshot compelling enough before I can hire you for a year long contract for that story with multi chap", limited reading time: maximum 24H a day approximating to reading 96 chapters but the true average is 40ish ch a day)
As a result I observed that for now there is an enphasis on speed that's absolutely hammering quality to the baaaaaaase. The argument is that pornographic content is easily marketable (people love sexual gratification, just see the boom of porn markets that's a gift that keeps on giving, now easily sharable, profitable, and normalised because of how much money it gets and the push that sex workers are still workers that need appropriate work conditions and protection) and easy to produce! (You don't need to think about complicated things and just focus on pretty drawing with nakey nakey)
The only way an artist, imo, finds time to *think* about plot is by buying time because they're constrained by their agency's schedule (there are freelancers and they work slow so we're not satiated by them alone, we as consumers, look for more all the time, the demand is crazy high)
So how to buy time?
Fillers lol
But if they put old school fillers like 'the flight convo' that feels kinda meaningless we'd probably get annoyed ¯_(ツ)_/¯ or drop the series
Putting porn still makes us annoyed but less likely to drop the series because fap inflation
So pick your poison I guess
Looking into novels would help with that but I understand there is a different type of visual enjoyment a webtoon gives that books don't
Also I loved your last sentence it tickled my brain somehow
Yesyesyes. The stories lack originality. Main Characters have card board like personality. Istg side couples that appear like once every 20ch have more chemistry than the main couple. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I tried novels but I could only find a couple of Korean Japanese Thai and a lot of Chinese ones. (I tend to steer away from Chinese ones because they start good but become very draggy). + The novels I actually find interesting have MTL and I'm not a fan of MTL.
Please send me recommendations if you have any
This is why i keep rereading shit cuz theyre fr just copy and paste and focus on the sex scenes and they arent even that good, its like they were written by virgins who never got fucked b4...
this is so real, i open this website trying to find some good shit to read and spend like the entirety of my free time just LOOKING for shit to read and never get to the reading part itself T-T
Recent bl that are interesting plot wise with 15+ chps. All the recent ones I find are just smut :((
Straight ones are fine too as long as it is not cliche or isekai
I need more stories like "No Home/Homeless". Plis help
Same
It's a one of a kind manhwa. These's none like unfortunately ☹
It's the '' found family/ circle of friends '' type of trope ! If that's what you are looking for then it's not impossible to find. There are some stories with circle of friends+ found families in the slice of life category (...) continue asking ! I am sure someone.wimm.come with a few suggestions !
I need soul touching stories

-I just got done with this one, it’s about a girl who gets abandoned by her mom one day; who’s leaves her sum money and the girl ends up paying a men to keep her company (sounds sus but nothing happens I swear).
It's a straight story. FL is able to go back in time the moment she gets married. From a match making sevice, she meets this black hair dude(ML?) Who like her travels back in time too. He shoots her when he meets her and they both go back in time to when they were in uni
Angst with happy ending. Bl/gl/straight anything. Non romance is fine too.
Thank youu

it's a BL. MC AND ML are childhood friends. One of them move away but they promise to meet up. (I think at some railway station on some specific dayor smthg I don't remember ). Fast forward to high school(or college?), one of them who remained in the town itself has become popular, and realised he liked the ML (since their child hood) but tried to be "normal" among his friends talkin about girls and stuff.
ML overheard this, gets jealous and locks the MC in his house?
Pls help me find this.
It's a black and white Japanese manga
