If this is ragebait. congrats. You've done well..
"Authors just wanted to recycle stories because they have nothing new or authentic to offer"... seriously??? you are gonna say shitty things like this in these times? The gatekeeping is cringing me off..
Like, in these day and age, how many in media (games, songs, novels, comics) have you consumed that is literally inspired by another great work before and you can totally compare them side by side?? there is a ton of them!
For me, there is nothing wrong with being inspired by another work as long as, it is beautifully well made and had interesting twists, being formed into another story to read. This is one of them.
Death Delayed for a short time does NOT have the idea of restorer, special ability that had drawbacks when used, linked dungeons. it is trying to be different despite the heavy influence.
What rage bait heheh? Woah easy on the language. Username checks out. Lol.
It's okay you like the manhwa, but a bit more objectivity is also okay, shift from an emotional lens to a more neutral lens. When you feel triggered, take a pause, sit with your emotions. Calm down. Then respond. Hope it helps. Anyway I said the two manhwas are almost the same, not identical. Whether the MC is restorer or not is just petty nitpicking. The rest of what i said still stands. Again, deep breaths. There you go! Have a good day.
Says the one that uses a lot of exclamations points and is highly defensive. If you just used better words to address commentary, then there will be no problem like what you have said, this is almost like or this reminded me heavily of instead of saying in your own words.. "Writers just recycle stories because they have nothing new or authentic to offer. Like assembly line storytelling. Tch." now your are degrading someone.
Well I don't owe anything to the writer. Neither do you. I am free to critically engage with the story. What's the fun in being blind just because of a little titillation it serves? Also literally blind because I don't see where I used exclamation points. How am I being defensive? Can you deny the points that I made about the similarities of the story and characters? Are they not true? Lol better words? I used exactly the words that express what I wanted to express. You just delved into personal attacks rather than actually disproving the claims I made. I don't know if you understand this, looks like you don't, but the moment you use ad hominem arguments, you have already lost the argument. Plus I am far from the first person who has noticed the recycling nature of BL manhwas stories, like there are tons of these type of stories. If you had any objectivity, you would have seen it too, it is really so self evident. Anyway, your comments suggest you really don't have the werewithal to see a story with objective lens. But do some breathing exercises and try it again. It's okay, you can demand better stories, better narratives and not just cookie cuter slop. Hope this helps. Toodles.
Strong, one of a kind, popular twinky MC with survivor guilt, strong, one of a kind, manipulative ML who wants to track and hire him, MC who wants to die as soon as he finishes his goals. Writers just recycle stories because they have nothing new or authentic to offer. Like assembly line storytelling. Tch.
