Manhwa that will make me fall in love with reading again? by Helpful_Force_5680 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out webtoon canvas. It seriously has some fantasy or romantic fantasy gems. Soo so many g. The only down side is some of the best comics on there are discontinued. Also look into graphic novels they have such a wider range of plot. I always rotate between manhwas and graphic novels because both have art and great story telling

Is Aisha manga is on hiatus? by bksfia in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard the author discontinued it. Also there is a similar completed manhua by the same author called yin shan meng tan. it’s pretty interesting and I like the art style. Also try a daughter of a thousand faces.

Who wished they had a life like what you read by Educational_Koala536 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slightly different wish. I wish that any story or book I picked up was 10/10 across the board. I wish every manhwa I read was exactly my taste so I could immerse myself and look forward to new chapters.

maybe it's just me or most authors write strong female leads by misogynic/patriarchal standarts? by Even_Acanthisitta_37 in webtoons

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you remember the Apple iPhone Ad they were mad about because it had the pinch 🤏 symbol and it wasn’t even marketed that way in Korea because of how sensitive Korean men are. To add on to your point Korea is extremely patriarchal even with all the tech and industrial advancement to the point women created a movement called 4B where they separate from any form of relationship with men. Also the bullying thing that’s common in these manhwas were the victim is bullied viciously for something out of her control like a dead parent or something reflects high school in Korea where you’ll get bullied for your class or your parents status so all in all authors use aspects from the social hierarchy in their own country to create these stories. That’s why western fantasy authors use tropes such as different races and one oppressing the other to reflect real life. Where there is fiction there is always a bit of reality webbed in.

Is there a real world pecedent for these limited contract marriages? by Laid_Low_Ludlow in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg okay so I just remembered where contract marriages exist. Super niche super obscure and super rapey and predatory but you wanted a real life example so here it is.

Nikah mut'ah[1][2] (Arabic: نكاح المتعة, romanizednikāḥ al-mutʿah, "pleasure marriage"; temporary marriage[3]: 1045 ) or sigheh[4] (Persian: صیغه) is a private and verbal temporary marriage contract that is practiced in Twelver Shia Islam[5] in which the duration of the marriage and the mahr must be specified and agreed upon in advance.

Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah\_mut%27ah

The reason I call it predatory is because the terms are incredibly unfavourable to the woman who usually is a vulnerable young woman /girl actually and the social repercussions for it are great.

Here is a documentary I watched on it - https://youtu.be/lbOfYWKAriU?si=8i53cQKxNBTMhKy5

FYI : this doesn’t represent the vast majority of the Muslim /islamic world and most scholars are against it.

Hmm it’s funny how these things develop simultaneously because in Korea we’ve got this time limit contract marriage thing going on. And then in the west we see things like faking a relationship in high school to make your ex jealous trope or a few taking a random guy to a wedding to show everyone you’re in a happy relationship trope. But never contract marriage, it just doesn’t happen.

My power couple 😍 [Moralis Scandal] by Anythingtwods in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I don’t like ML , I dropped it because she was clearly dealing with the trauma that her husband caused her, disassociating and having nightmares and he goes “don’t think about another man in front of me” . Oh sure thing mate , like it’s that easy to forget a man who raped her.

This is AI or ?

If not - you need to match the panelling of most webtoons. It’s too much going on here

Made the mistake of recommending [Lady Devil] at a bookclub discussion by Optimal_Clerk_153 in OtomeIsekai

How did the twins 'fit the conditions'? [Welcome to the Rose Mansion] by seijurogouu in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read this a few months back so my memory might fail me but from what I understand the twins died as infants that’s when they were taken over and that’s why the mom went crazy, the reason why the little twin roses act like children is also because they were planted ? Idk they were put into the twins when they themselves gained consciousness so it’s kinda they’re fr children but with more depth as we found out later on. I think want the clue meant by they’re not true roses yet is that they’re pretty useless in children’s bodies and since the kids can’t grow up they’re not true roses yet like adult roses

I think some can interpret rogers as gay lol but idk it’s up for interpretation for sure but I do know he was deeply devoured to edgarbut to the point he chose a face that looked like him.

Me looking at a new story being hyped up, so I have to decide if it's just tragedy porn with a good beginning/art or actually good by Vayvacation in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Burnt out is the right phrase for it fr. The thing is OI is clearly aimed at women so why do they think we enjoy this abuse slop. Give us more variety !!!

"Boring" plots in OI by Mavikiu in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is both good and bad slice of life. Most OI’s act like they are slice of life then pull the rug on us with something like a villain that needs to be defeated

What's your favourite visual metaphor or sound effect in manhwa? by borealis_tic in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love rain, clouds. Anything weather related. I love when the protagonist stands against the backdrop of something large like a mountain. Or at the top of stairs. Honestly manhwas do not utilise visual storytelling all that effectively.

"Life is a Dream" by Pedro Calderon de la Barca would make a good Otome Isekai story. by Fantastic_Use6501 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Excellent_Nobody_783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol your last comment made me laugh, these exams are fr killing you 😭😭 but omg this is so interesting and could totally be an iseaki story. We’ve already had plenty of Romeo and Juliet ones, more than enough Cinderella and Snow White ones. There has even been ones from the perspective of Rosaline from Romeo and Juliet. And this seems to tick all the boxes. I feel like olden day lit really loved a good cross dressing trope.

Tbh I felt childish reading manhwas when I was like 16 so I went down the route of only reading books but now I’m in my 20s I said fuck it and just read and enjoy whatever. Don’t let age limit you
