She'll probably won't be buff unfortunately, just skinny and looks like the wind could hurt her. That's how Korean beauty standards are
Probably. I rarely see a warrior woman being buff and have battle scars. The only one I can think of is Paul on Emperor and The Female Knight.
Right I wish there were more of them :/ they look so badass
Honest, wouldn't mind, but she's set up to be a "pretty flower" that's how the official webtoon translation describes her pre-technique... Would love battle scars especially, these peeps doing way too much to not have scars lol
But buff women are pretty too. Women in murim doing daily exercises, lifting, and fighting just for them to be so thin, I wanna see some muscles and scars (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Yeah wasn't saying buff would be bad, it's just that it's so uncommon in murim and manwha in general... It's defo set up for the flawless beauty BS, DEFO hope they AT LEAST have scars. But I doubt as said B4...
I also always have the small thought that perhaps the authors(bonus points if it's based on a LN) and artists tend to think that because a lot of the murim stuff uses internal qi and stuff that there's no need to have the women in the story look like actual warriors, because, "well they get strong through internal energy stuff, they don't have any kind of weight training so they wouldnt be buff!!!" Like... I haven't seen ANY manwha where the side-character romance woman was actually buff, closest thing id say is the wild commander from one of the 'reborn as the demonic heir' style ones I don't remember the actual name of.
(If your looking for it, it's the one where he was an assassin with a obedience bug in his heart, tries escaping at the start as an old-ish man, died and wakes up as a successor to cheonma who was poisoned.)
And I feel what you're saying will be their alibi if someone asks them about it but we all know it's the toxic beauty standards because why would the men be buff and have eight packs abs if inner ki already do the works (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ if they doesn't want to draw buff women in an action center manhwas, make the men twink jk
Okay that sounds familiar I think I already read that so I'm gonna look for it
Fair warning, she ain't part of the main ship(at least for me, ship her with another subordinate of MC...) but yeah! Would love watching this think dude absolutely BODY a huge guy!
I liked the dynamic between the MC and his father. Also the fatty bodyguard is so cute, I hope that even if they remove her technique's side effects, she won't be petite but buff.
