Hot manhwa takes
Guys I'm low key done with the overflooding of manhwa (BL but tbh not only) webtoons I feel like I moan about this indirectly all the time but why are they so full of:
1) disgustingly rich ml x dirt poor mc
2) the dirt poor mc is always like an almost perfect martyr person because apparently you can't be broke and have a spine at the same time
3) even tho the poor x rich is ofc always about class, they are soooo afraid to many any class commentary or anti capitalist commentary. It's like richness is viewed as a virtue or at bare minimum some sort of power that OF COURSE we all want so it's just seen as that only
4) THE STORIES ARE SO K-DRAMA BONKERS THAT IT'S BASICALLY FANTASY GENRE EVEN WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REALISTIC. LIKE AT THAT POINT JUST WRITE ABOUT DATING A WEREWOLF EMPEROR OR WHATEVER THE FUCK
5) Just inhumanly sized schlongs. The first 300 were fun but at this point Im bored yall unless it's some sort of dungeon goblin I would like to get back to seeing human sized dicks pls
So to turn it into not negatives but what I want to see more of:
- I want more NORMAL PPL WITH NORMAL JOBS AND NORMAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY NOT ELITES AND FANTASY LEVELS OF RICHNESS WHO I CANT RELATE TO ONLY
- I want drama that is more realistic
- If you write about poverty or class difference HAVE A CRITIQUE OF THE SYSTEM. ANY CRITIQUE AT THIS POINT ILL TAKE THAT IS NOT UNINTENTIONAL. Like... you're a writer! Have an opinion jesus
- Normal bodies? As in not just international super model levels? It feels like the supermodel type body is the default and anything different is like a tag or niche (like, super beefy with boobies, inverted nipples, super skinny, chubby, if those things are part of a story they always end up being like a fetish of someone in the story they can't just be additional to the story or something)
I wish we had more manga being shared.. Those I also have trouble having access to anyway TT___TT at least with k-webtoons you can buy them internationally...
ANYWAYS THAT'S MY RANT IM DONE WITH ALL THESE CHAEBOLS YALL I WANNA READ ABOUT ROMANCE THE WAY HUMANS HAVE IT NOT ABOUT RICH PRICKS WITH AMNESIA OR WHATEVER
