The Elephant in the Room
I feel like, as someone who likes reading historical-like manhwas, OI and modern ones. I feel like we HAVE and NEED to adress the elephant in the room. What IS the elephant? Well is simply the fact that majority of the new manhwas are either smut or poorly written, with empty, horrible characters, boring and worthless plot or just straight up p@rn.
Now, dont get me wrong, if you like reading smut, i have nothing agaisnt it, i have read some manhwas(2 or 3) with it, not my thing but if it has a GOOD plot, then i guess it works.
But i think it reached a point where i question myself, WHAT HAPPENED? What happened with well written characters? what happened with an actual interesting and unique plot? What happened with well written relantionships? What happened with deep, complex conections? Either platonic or romantic? What happened with deep and unique characters? WHAT HAPPENED WITH STORIES IN GENERAL???
Some of the images i used for this post are manhwas that set my standard too high, that now everything i read feels boring or shallow. Those are the PEAKS.
Feel free to disagree with me, i always like to read other people's opinion, so tell me what you guys think.
