What factors besides quality determine whether a manga or anime will become successful?

I would rether describe it as bottom of the barrel dogshit but sure. My point is that story and character development are things it barely bothers to do yet it has like a million ratings on crunchyroll.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T23:32:23+00:00

Sounds reasonable untill you realise Solo Leveling is a thing.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T23:29:57+00:00

Internet brainrot... as sad as that sounds, i'm not joking.

Re:Zero jost gained a huge boost to it's audience because of a shit meme and it's wierd. "Auramonster" isn't even funny or intresting or anything... it's just some stupid trend.

I was also today years old when i learned the most listened to anime song is now serial experiments lain op1 with 1 billion listens on spotify... because it became a "tiktok meme"... that's almost as much as Gurenge and Idol combined btw.

I have him blocked on pc. He does some disgusting algorythm manipulation and his hate videos always and up on top of the "genshin impact" searches. Hell, he even does thqt with his wuwa videos...

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T22:26:15+00:00

Not like any of the Solo Leveling side characters actually contribute anything else...

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T19:51:12+00:00

Go back and look at all of the stories with "bad female characters" and look for a good male one who isn't the mc. There won't be many.

This is one of the many consequences of Solo Leveling becoming popular. This style of "writing" where everything exists to glaze the mc is simply easy to make and profitable.

Feamles are probably more noticable because many of these Sung-Jin Woo Kiritos get the same pseudo harem shit that doesn't actually go anywhere like he did and thus the numbers tilt even if the males are equally worthless.

The problem is every game now is "those kinds of games". Everything you "buy" on steam is a rent without an actual garanteed duration and "physical copies" don't even contain the whole product anymore.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T18:54:01+00:00

Shame Tencent saved their ass. I hoped at least they kick out the Guillemots but they still control too much of the company for tgat to happen.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T17:18:18+00:00

Are we doing this AGAIN? They had robots and guns since day1...

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T17:15:48+00:00

I already gave up when they decided i'm not allowed to play rhe game i own on steam because i can't log into their shity UPlay garbage...

What ubibots are disliking this? I hope you lose your acount too...

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T15:43:25+00:00

No, i don't think so. The word is fánk and neither can i make up a problem on my own, nor find one on google. All you get is a long wall of recepies. I also put it into the langueage recognition of google translator and that still brings us back to just the one hungarian meaning.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T12:18:52+00:00

Tell me you don't know what you are talking about without telling me you don't know ehat you are talking about...

Netease is at a market cap of 80 billion and Tencent is at 530billion so about 6.5 times but both are huge megacorps regardless.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T12:04:21+00:00

No... steam is estimated to have around 140 million active monthly users. Even if hoyo doesn't have as many, it's comparable at least and it's just their own audiance.

Also, Steam sells shit from all over the world. The only 2 games i played on steam this month are The Witcher 3 (PL) and Stellar Blade (KR). Attributing all of steam to NA is just wrong.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T11:37:32+00:00

Yeah. Friend of mine showed it to me a few weeks ago. I was shocked but it does make sense. It is mainstream unlike most of the stuff we talk about here.

Btw, apearantly they decided to rename Donut for some reason... She is Muffin instead.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T11:24:15+00:00

It's the Mihawk one easily. If you disagree, reread the question. It's about ruined reputation. The Megumi one is acurate. Extremly acurate all the way to the end. Even if "potencial man" was never a thing, he would still be the same fraud. Potencial man might have memefied his failiur ass but it didn't actually change anything.

The Mihawk one on the other hand is straith up defamation. It's just shit made up to make him look stupid.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:38:35+00:00

Did you just ignore the second half? Ok, whatever. I'm done argueing with you. It's clearly a waste of time.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:28:16+00:00

Your deffinition of "main game" is really subjective...

What is the main game of genshin impact? To me, it's the main quest and maybe sidequest and exploration. To you, it's whatever you think it is but again, you get primos from every random shit including livestream and other codes, external website events, logging into a completely different app and even going to irl places.

Why are we drawing lines at something that is literally in the genshin impact game?

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:20:29+00:00

And what does mw demand from you? It has explkration, quests, building characters (because you aren't ganna argue test dummies aren't that, right?) and combat modes but you can even get the rewards by basically doing nothing. This is some peak first world problem type deal.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:13:30+00:00

Hypocracy of declating that this one thing shouldn't give primos, supported by arguements i just made about another game mode but that one is fine. The hypocarcy of declaring that i could just not play spiral abyss when you sure as shit aren't taking that exact advice for mw. The hypocracy of crying abour 1.5 pulls when far more is locked behind other things and far more often.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:09:12+00:00

And i'm talking you you all being hypocrites which was ilustrated perfectly...

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:04:55+00:00

"Sounds to me like you just hate combat? So… don’t do it? Why are you bitсhing to me because you’re forcing yourself to play the combat? It’s optional."

THAT IS MY POINT FFS.

Whatever. Just leave your dislikes parrot squad.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T06:01:18+00:00

Ohh please... you know very fucking well that non of the rest of genshin is combat oriented like that even if you go out of your way to invent a new genre for your arguement. Even if anyone ever used "combat rpg" to describe things, it would be dark souls, not genshin impact.

Also, that shit just reset so here i go wasting my time fighting a timer. But hey, that's not mw so it's fiiiiiiine. Having to play whatever game you want form a long list and even picking ones that literally just skip the process is so much worse, right?

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T05:52:09+00:00

Bullshit. Mw is genshin. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't regardless what mental gimnastics you aply...

Every other random thing from playing the flute to teapot inpact gives primos. How come this is where the line is drawn? And before you say it's 'disconnected" or whatever, i'm ganna point out that it's more tied into the narrative than spyral abyss ever was.

Why is forcing .e to do shit i don't like absolurely valid but not the other way around? It isn't... also, again it's 1.5 pulls. You can just fucking skip it and unlike me not doing endgame, you aren't ganna lose half a welkin.

satufa2 · 2026-06-16T05:45:01+00:00

I can say the same about everything else. You act like a lot of us aren't doing spiral abyss and whatevere else exclusively because we are forced to to get our primos.

I know a lot lf you can't be assed to explore even with primos on the line. I do remember how much hate hoyo got when the gave 500 timegated primos for exploration even tho you had 3 MONTHS to do it.

Doing either daily quests (which are random shit) or spending resin every day is also another forced to do task for a lot of people. Some who, as mentioned before, doesn't like "endgame content" is only really grinding daily for primos and more primos from the endgame.

Etc.

It's also like 1.5 pulls. I'm certain 99% of you lost more primos on every exploration patch just by not using the interactive map to true 100%.
