    Seeing the Revenge of the Sword Hound manwha is back, I really hope they made some heavy changes, because after season 1 the web novel was probably the worst thing I’ve seen come out of Korea since the Kim Dynasty

    Manga/Mahwa/Manhua And Webnovel Cliches I Despise.

    Manhau in general. I don’t think I’ve ever read a manhau I liked. That one kingdom building one was decent until they shoe horned in all the commie garbage.

    Children and death

    There’s a difference between worst and most impactful for a story. I’m sure you could come up with some complex really painful torture to kill someone, but for me the most impactful things in a war story would be. Cancer - Radiation poisoning if that exists in that world. Cancer is a very ugly...

    Does a story need a theme?

    Been told every good story has a theme, a core message that is conveyed when reading it, even if it’s never expressly said as such. I’ve found a lot of eastern light novels manwha/manga especially isekai fantasy kind of lack a theme and is just character going from place to place and series of...

    MC as Oppressed or Oppressor?

    Basically every story ever written is an underdog story. Watching someone punch down just isn’t as fun as seeing a character punching up.

    Cover art is good, the rest is meh, in isolation it looks decent at best, but it gets worse when you realize the artist can only draw a single face and all female characters share the same body type regardless of how they are described in the text. (Female bodies are the only thing that’s spared...
