This is gonna be a bit of a rant but bear with me please.
I’m honestly getting tired of the cheesy “I got reincarnated as some girl so I’m gonna help the tragic handsome duke/prince that I know nothing about because I’m just pure and kind like that.” He’ll be cold to her, she’ll pester him with jokes and funny faces, and that’s supposed to be charming. Not to mention she’s gonna blush 24/7 every time he does something like she’s a high schooler.
They were fun for a while, but now every high rated manhwa feels identical. Can we get a female lead that doesn’t end up being the same Mary Jane the manhwa is poking fun at? It feels like the fl gotta be either Einstein type of smart or a 6 year old these days. Why is there no middle ground?
For reference, my favorite reincarnation manhwa is The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass. The characters are intelligent and mature, not written like they’re from a teenager’s imagination. If you know anything similar, I’d love recommendations!
Sorry if this sounds harsh but goddamn your girl is tired.

Guys, chill. Ever since the website gained attraction in 2020 this shit happened like a billion times already. We finally got the topics back now shut up and don’t let this get any bigger than a simple lag.
Istg sometimes I miss the old cringey mangago I can’t handle yall bitches anymore. how dumb do you have to be to talk about piracy sites on the same social media the people whos works are being pirated are on
FOR REAL
IKR, wish this site didn’t get so popular cause some peeps dont know to to keep to themselves. Now look what they did （￣へ￣）
Does anyone else feel like the BL genre has been lately dominated by korean manhwas?#－.－) some of them are definitely good and I love them but I also miss just reading 6 chapters instead of 60 lol
You are so Real for mentioning this
Saame same same. It's always like 100 chapters despite only having enough plot to fill 10. I just take one look and nope out at this point.
They milk the story for way too long sometimes but I guess the authors need to get their check lol
And it’s mostly smut lmao nothings wrong with that sometimes but everyone having big dicks and bottoms suffering during sex is getting repetitive lol
It's because bl manhwa is quicker in English translation than Japanese bl who literally you can wait a year for official English translation. Update time is also not as fast as korean manhwa, and most jp bl has quick sex scenes with just penetration rarely foreplay, short problem solving in the complicated conflict that lack the feeling, and forgettable design. I'm gonna be honest. And I'm still buying on manta.
Your take is interesting. I personally prefer manga over manhwa because only if a manga is interesting enough (most of the times) it’d get a second volume. I think that limitation allows for insane creativity to come out and forces an artist to utilize every page.
Imo, I found that korean manhwas have lately gotten repetitive. I love smut like anyone else but it’s sooo drawn out with no exploration of new kinks or anything lately and frankly, have gotten more and more unrealistic (can you tell I hate the monster dicks lmao which I noticed japanese mangas don’t have)
Sorry for rambling but anyway, I feel like korean manhwas have gotten more popular and more artists, translators, and platforms have emerged which is fine. I just hope jp manga gets its throne back too lmao
I used to prefer manga more as I'm an old gen fujo (though I'm a genz just got into bl at the age where I shouldn't be reading that) and my introduction to bl is thru manga. But manga most of it lack something that I search for, it's as if they dont plan the plot enough. I disagree with repetitive though, literally there's a lot of varieties in bl manhwa with so many options and easy tags search in official site like r1d1, mr. Bl√e, b0mto0n, tappy, lz, etc
I mean both manga and manhwa have variation but it's easy to search and explore our preference in manhwa as they mass produce unlike manga who lately even the publishers gave the mangaka a hard time to sell their bl
Yknow I guess you’re right but I honestly just miss when mangas used to be on the home page more often I don’t have the best attention span or time so I can’t handle so many chapters but it’s nice to know that each media has lovers alike
I personally prefer manhwas because the more chapters there are the more chances of plot development there are, and also due to the fact that the BL manhwas I have read had more interesting fantasy/dystopian/rofan worldbuildings than BL mangas who most of the times are modern romances (still love them, but you get what I mean).
HOWEVER you're right that there aren't enough mangas on the homepage, I find a lot of gems through other people's reading lists but almost nothing on there... it's such a pity because this is also probably why A LOT of mangas' translations never get continued: the less people discover it, the less the chance of it being picked up by a new translator
Hard agree on Korean BL being repetitive, especially the sex scenes which are often excessively long for how repetitive they are. Most webtoon art is ok, but it's not good enough to make 20 pages of generic thrusting interesting, and that's all it is 99% of the time. There's never ANY character development going on in there, if the characters talk at all during sex it's lines straight out of a generic porno that often contradict whatever characterization was going on outside of the bedroom. It's not even good from a porn standpoint because it's so generic.
It honestly feels like manhwa artists only know one way to write a sex scene and they just default to that regardless of context. Or maybe that's what the audiences want?
If nothing else, manga art tends to have a lot more expressive faces which can make characters feel more interesting even when the development is mid. And manga are at least somewhat less fixated on using the exact same sex playbook at the expense of characterization.
