I visited the manhwa just to see the response about this manhwa. Suprised people still like it despite the author's messed up scandal. I'm glad that y'all read it in illegal website like mangago. But as the anime is out, I hope no one watch that or even hyped it. Give justice to other author who's work was plagiarized by this manhwa.
Source?
Omg what scandal? Do you mind telling me pls? I love this story and art sm ever since 2021 still, i might not watch the anime cuz i just dont have the time. But i still wanna know hahahe
there were clear evidence of wmmap being HEAVILY similar to daughter of the emperor
I read both, maybe people liked this more cuz of the art
I'm not sure if they mean the novel, since I didn't read neither(barely started WMMAP) but I did read both manhwa at one point... And to be honest I don't see it. Like yeah, maybe at the time they were similar because of the reincarnation and father daughter relationship. But aren't the story in a completely different setting? I will say that I haven't read "Daughter of the emperor" in a while because I got bored, but I simply don't see it.
Ok, I might have mistaken the "Daughter of the emperor" for another manhwa I rode in the past with a similar title. Please do forgive my previous comment due to me not actually reading the right manhwa
The daughter of the emperor has different settings tho. And it has lots of plot hole then wmmap
Stop trying to start drama wmmap is perfect and the og
I looked it up and its honestly not tht deep i hate cancel culture. Bro half of these reincarnate stories have the same plot its not like the author copied it word for word. J read both and barely saw any similarities tho I ended up dropping dote (not for any reason it was just long). Stop with cancel culture please wmmap was my first manhwa
Yup, I was like "let's read it to make the comparison" and Iw as hit with 200+ chapters. And to be pair from the beginning the story is already a different setting. WWMAP start with the MC being an abandoned princess that doesn't meet her father until she's like 5. DOTP starts with the dude apparently keeping the princess close and that's just the first chapter. Comprate to other manhwa that are being released right now(like the villainess trope or those more generic) I think the two stories already go into different directions from the start.
Okay I read daughter of the emperor first before I discovered wmmap and I dropped it because it lowkey sucked im ngl. And also i don’t think wmmap copied it because they are entirely different but also what does it even matter if wmmap did take inspiration from it in the first place like thats not a crime
sue me but I feel like wmmap is enough as its own manhwa. like yes the similarities are there but look at the genre; every manhwa has the same moments and situations. daughter of the emperor was actually my first ever manhwa read, like genuinely when i was 12, i still like wmmap better in all aspects of plot and characters
I started dote like 4 years ago I dropped it cause the plot got dragged out and repetitive and I wasn't into the art. But genuinely the similarities don't even matter like tht. Saying "don't support the author " over something like this is stupid omfg
I didn't wanna say it but yeah I really wasn't into dote....it was good the first few chaos but ended up getting dragged out
Oh, please don't tell me it's the same case like for "Lady Baby". It started fine but then the story got dragged and there were sudden modern world concept introduced that I couldn't keep reading it
Ngl I cried for this manhwa it has more character than anything Ive read with the same concept (￣∇￣") that just says its done better
Wah..... see the reply? Seems like majority of foreigner fans are on WMMAP side, I expected to get this kind of reply since majority of y'all are just stuborn about this. I think the language barrier plays too here, since this issue was pretty big in Korea, some foreigner fans might missed some information, and I expect it to this extend.
I don't even bother to explain since people will still that side anyway...... the evidence was there. Some koreans already explained the evidence and you can search it easily in X, it's not only about the story that is similiar ..... if you're interested, better check it yourself. Good luck for y'all.
here's some more context, feel free to invest yourself in them https://x.com/yunsulJJ/status/1639292432025100289?t=GuJB980cg7kUu64zEAyGWw&s=19
Ok, yeah, they do mean the novel. As a Webtoon reader I can't say much because the similarities don't make sense to me due to my limited knowledge about both novels. It's a really curious case, especially about Plutus silence. Makes me wonder if they were kept silent due to the publisher and so the situation escalated to that point. It would make sense through a legal stand point.
I read the novel a bit, and this ghost is probably the most disgusting one they encounter. Even I can't imagine how the ghost looks like by that description alone. Like..... genuinely terrifying
Where did you read the novel? Can I have a link pleaseee （/TДT)/

Some shared it on the comments, I think it's around ch 35
Thank youuu!
Spoiler please?? So I’ll be less scared when I read it
I can’t explain everything perfectly, but I can at least talk about the ghost. But sorry if this is too long.

So as you can see, the ghost is upside down. The FL said she didn’t expect to see the same type of ghost from her homeland (Korea) showing up here. So in Korea, this ghost is called a virgin ghost, also called a Kong-Kong Ghost because of the kong kong sound it makes when it moves. Since it walks on its head, it kind of hops around, which is why it makes that noise.
That’s why, when the FL discovered the ghost in the mansion, she noted the strange fluids (not just blood) leaking from its head. I don’t remember the exact wording the novel used, but the description was vivid enough that all I retained was how disgusting it was.
You saw it in previous chapter that this ghost seems to be following that suspicious nobleman who’s known for going after young girls and cheating around. I think it was implied that he even caused multiple women’s deaths before? (I don't really remember). Anyway, the ghost accidentally got absorbed into the FL’s aura without her noticing, so it got dragged all the way to the mansion.
That’s why every night the ghost kept moving around making loud noises as she was looking for someone. At first, the FL thought she was being targeted, especially since she once made eye contact with the ghost while she accidentally met that nobleman. The FL even tested it by moving to the basement and letting the ghost come into her room. The ghost looked around and said, “It’s not here.” That’s when the FL was like, "Okay fine, I’ll help you find your guy, just stop scaring everyone at night." Because all the servants were hearing the kong kong kong sounds and couldn’t sleep. But this is only temporary.
As for why the ghost is upside down, in Korea, virgin ghosts are women who died virgin and at worse, before they could marry, so they hold a lot of resentment. Some people say they’re upside down because their life was flipped. Basically symbol of an “Inverted Life” (뒤집힌 운명 / Reversed Fate).
Like, she should have had a normal life: grow up → standing proudly as a bride, get married → be cherished.
But instead, everything turned upside down: death → abandonment. So now even their ghost refuses to stand normally. It’s like their whole existence is saying that they feel wronged.
Ooooooh thank you! I’m Korean, too, so I understood the 처녀귀신 reference, however, I never actually heard the meaning behind all that. So thanks for clarifying!
I love reading korean ghost folklore story and shamanism, so I'm having fun writing all that
You know this is an old story when they still use V-live as a reference
I ship Kaor and Belinda so much lmao ╥﹏╥
Sorry, I wanted to give a like(￣∇￣")
Did you guys really think he is weak?
For me, he isn't. And I don’t think the other characters believing he’s a strong hunter is really a "misunderstanding."
He already showed his strength. It took him a while to reconstruct a spell from his previous world, but he managed it. He couldn't do much else because he has very little mana—almost none, really. But his true power lies in his efficiency and deep understanding of magic. He’s practically a sage, since he already knows almost all the magic that exists on Earth—because it already existed on his planet.
Basically, he can do anything related to magic. On Earth, hunters’ skills are limited by their magical affinity—some people can only use one type, like fire, water, or invisibility, and not everyone even has that. But he can use them all, as long as he understands the magical principles behind them. And even with very little mana, he can modify spells to make them 10 times—or more—stronger.
In my opinion, he's already strong. He just relies too much on the excuse that he has low mana (which is understandable), and that makes him seem weak from the reader’s point of view. Honestly, I don’t care much about the misunderstanding the other characters have—how they think he’s an S-rank hunter pretending to be F-rank—because I already see him as strong. Maybe not quite S-rank, but at least B-rank.
Mind you, I think he has 2 weakness..
Lack (very small) amount of mana and LACK OF MONEY.
Just imagine what kind of thing/power he can make/have if he has enough money to buy all those expensive VIP materials
Like.. Bro reincarnation and still experience capitalism.. (Damn capitalism, fck you)
I agree with you, I think right now he's not weak but he just not adapt to hunter's way to combat yet. I mean, even in his original world, isn't he just some kind of office worker and not directly fight like earth's hunter? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Nope, in human perspective he more strong tho, the way he thinks sometimes exceed human brain, plus our mc mana are more high than any S class mana lmao, it's just his overall health doesn't help him being strong sobs
he's only strong 'cause he has more knowledge. when it come to raw power tho...
No, he’s actually weak. Physically and in terms of his mana capacity, which is VERY important for his strength, he’s extremely weak. He’s only highly intelligent
Haseong, you're annoying
Bear with it a bit, haseong will be a strong pillar that supports MC later, hehehe
This is an angst disguised as a comedic manhwa. Even while watching Lloyd's face, I'm still crying a river .....
Did my memory messed up? I don't remember she already lifted the duchess and the son of the duke's curse in the manhwa..... isn't that supossed to be a bit more later
Yes. Read chapters 21-23
Thank you!! I'll reread it again ^^
