And I got this 'snapping out' scene, where they close my face up with a weird angle, and I'll just spill blood everywhere while laughing maniacally.

Of course, don't forget the complicated terms, rules, and gimmicks, where everyone says my power is 'unique'...in a sea of 'uniques', and plot armor.

AND EVERYONE DIES FOR SHOCK VALUE!!! YEY!

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

After thinking about it for a minute, I think the problem is me. Do you remember the scene from Matrix, where Cypher and Neo talk while looking at code? Cypher says how he sees blonde, brunette, and redhead, while everything Neo can see is code. I used to be Cypher, now I'm Neo. All I can see is tropes, tricks, and writing tools. Luckily, not all the time.

Well, I'm not sure if my talking points are valid, but those are my observations.

Like even the most mundane anime nowadays have a high chance of turning into a formulaic edgy competition for the plot to progress and to project 'meaning' to readers.

Ahh...I remember enjoying early chapters of One Punch Man, only for it to turn bland as more chapters came out. Lol

Hmm... I still like OPM. As for anime, I don't watch anime. But there is manga without edgy elements, usually RomComs. There is two I really enjoy. One is rather tropey and childish, but it is still very cute. Another one I think is rather unique.

By the way, who is Kim Dal-Young? Were you talking about Lim Dal-Young, author of Freezing, Black God, Aflame Inferno? Or is it someone else?

Yeah that author of Freezing.

I stand corrected: he's Im Dal-young.

Oh, then I have to disagree. No one follows in his footsteps. Korean Webtoon authors can't write weak or useless, at least in terms of combat, MCs.

If you write weak MC, you get axed.

There are usually no unstable girls, and no depresso. Modern webtoon are usually about MC getting a second chance, being ridiculously overpowered, and stomping everyone. Is it edgy? Usually. Is it depressing? Well, depends on what you consider to be depressing.

THEN DISAGREE, RUSSIAN. THIS IS WHERE WE PART WAYS.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Any case, that's only my opinion, but my general observation is anime and manga nowadays are skewing unto the edgy sadboiis, if not for cutesy idol animes, and mechas trying to spew political correctness.

If you ever will be in a dire need of two cute romcoms, you know where to find me.

I need fluff once I get over my depression, I'll hit you up the moment I'm back as the Teddy Bruh.

For now, I'm Shitty Bruh.
