I agree, but from reading all of these for so many years, I've noticed a pattern that they usually base it on the Russian: North and why it's always cold, European and Asian: usually East, West or central, and Egyptian and African: South being hot or desert. They usually only go from that side of the map because the majority of the novel, webtoon, manga, etc are from those sides of the continent. So if you see it that way, it makes more since lol.....that's how I've thought about it and understood it ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ but I've always has somewhat of an issue on this too since I'm from North America and we have every season and my Northern states are not that much different, they definitely are not always in freezing cold weather year round or baren lol
Hahah, I think it’s cause these are usually based in Korea/China and the most desolate is the North, south is beaches and heat, east is desert…plus a cold male lead with no family is like the barren desolate north that needs the FL to lighten it up
This makes sense it’s just super odd to me. Also, by this logic, where the north is representative of Russia, then where the fuck are the penguins. Genuinely. Like if it’s that fucking cold, there should be some goddamn penguins in these manhwas.
But like the desert is more desolate than the north, like you can eat tree bark but you can’t eat sand so wouldn’t it make more sense to run away to a place that’s actually barren not like a place where ondols where created??? Or maybe it’s because the main couple can’t get it on when it’s so hot you feel like you’re melting…? Actually wait that makes sense, in the cold youd probably be more willing to get it on to ‘share body warmth’, that’s how the FL would ‘lighten up’ the desolate north
Just like completely separate from the story, but like what ever happened to like…the grand Duke of the South…or East…or West… or even like Northeast I mean why is it always North? And why do they always have power when there’s literally nothing but barren landscape? Also, why does everyone always assume the north is always cold??? Like that’s not even true geographically for like half the world??? You go far south enough it’ll also be pretty fucking cold??? Technically the only points of continuous warmth are in the middle??? So why???
