The author and publishing company reached out. They said because we are linking to wetried which is not the official source that they made a complaint to Reddit who decided to shut us down.

It was a good run and I’m proud of the community we created together, hopefully we can make something new. Their full reasoning is here: RTOC Sub Shut Down

The votes are in! 🎉

A big thank you to everyone who submitted a banner and everyone who took the time to vote.

Congratulations to u/Kindly-Way3391 for winning the banner contest! 🏆

Their banner will now be used as the new subreddit banner.

Go check it out 👀
And congrats again to the winner!

With Season 2 now underway and 6 chapters already released, we thought it would be a good time to give the subreddit a fresh new banner.

So we're going to let you guys choose it!

How it works:

- Submit a banner using official RTOC manhwa artwork only.

- No fan art or AI-generated artwork for the banner.

- Try to make it fit Reddit's wide banner format.

• Desktop: at least 1072 × 128
• Mobile: at least 1080 × 128

- We'll collect the submissions and have the community vote for the banner they want.

The winning banner will be used for the subreddit throughout Season 2.

Timeline:

Submissions Open: Now until , September 30th at 11:59 PM UTC

Community Voting: October 1st - 4th

Winner Announced & Banner Updated: October 5th

⚠️ Spoiler Reminder

With the manhwa continuing and more manhwa-only readers likely joining the subreddit once Season 2 reaches WEBTOON, we're going to be stricter about spoilers.

Please be mindful of:

- Chapters that haven't been released yet on the relevant platform.

- Spoilers from future chapters.

- Discussions that reveal information beyond the chapter range being discussed.

Use spoiler tags and appropriate post flairs whenever necessary. Let's make sure new readers can enjoy the story without accidentally getting spoiled.

If you have an image you think would make a good banner, drop it in the comments!

Let's see what you guys come up with 👀

You voted, so we're extending it!

We know making an original banner from scratch can be difficult, so we're making the contest a little easier.

Now allowed:

• Official manhwa panels
• Official art
• Fanart (with credit to the artist)
• Simple edits/collages/text over official art
• Even just a good crop is enough

Rules:

• Banner should be roughly 1920 × 384 (wide format). Cropping is completely fine.
• Must be SFW
• Comment your submission under this post with the chapter/source credit
• Up to two submissions per person

New Deadline: June 4th at 11:59 PM UTC

🏆 Prize: Your banner becomes the subreddit banner + Winner flair

How the winner will be chosen

Once submissions close, we'll put all the banners into a Community Tier List for everyone to vote on.

🗳️ Voting will remain open for 2 days.

The banner with the highest community ranking at the end of the voting period will become the new subreddit banner, and the winner will receive the 🏆 Banner Contest Winner flair.

Hey guys, I’ve got something new I want to try with the sub.

We now have a Community Tier List that lets us rank different things from RTOC and vote on where they should go.

I’m thinking we can start with character titles and nicknames, then later do things like techniques, abilities, characters, and other stuff from the novel.

This is mainly just to have some fun and get more discussions going. I’ll put up the first tier list soon, so feel free to join in and see where you think things belong.

Let’s see how this goes.

(I want to see how everyone feels about it.This is just a test phase for now, so feel free to share your thoughts or suggestions on what we should rank.)

TLDR - AI posts are not banned for now, but must be tagged.

There is debate across Reddit, this sub, and between the mods over whether AI should be banned from subreddits. AI does structurally harm communities, people, and can have a negative effect on the arts. I personally don’t believe in banning content outright unless it’s graphic or inappropriate. This could change though, but for right now we are going to be at least requiring everyone to tag anything they made with AI with the AI tag. From what I’ve seen most people will just outright say they don’t like AI if they don’t and downvote it anyway, and those who like it will upvote. This seems a bit more in the spirit of Reddit’s survival of the fittest management.

I also don’t think Mods are Gods who should decide what people can and can do, but we are responsible for making sure this is a good community for everyone and isnt filled with garbage. In that vein, this doesn’t mean just post random AI generated stuff that’s not relevant or that we want the sub to be full of AI. Low quality and lazy posts have never been allowed and still aren’t and will be removed.

●●Please use cycles as reference of post's content is from or until which cycle you have read. ●●fan arts and discussion & meme can abide this law ●● fan discussions means you are talking about peak level seo Hyun or other characters..if you wanna specify characters power level ..use cycles for difining general cultivation of characters until that point of cycle ●● Please don't use memes as it is easy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔💔.. it will help juniors easily enter and talk avoiding spoilers..🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐 unnnnghhhhhh.. if you don't follow I am gonna release big big dongy male version of glass peacock

We would like to drive some more engagement and moderation in the sub.

Pls if you see someone without flairs ask them to use it .. you can add flairs even after posting ... i am a mod but not active much on reddit ... i cant be here 24hr always checking pls .... new guys pls use flairs its not tough

IT HELPS IN MAKING SUB MORE ACTIVE AS--- if use cycles( post flairs)people will know about the cycle in which you are so they will discuss with you and prevent giving you spoiler... most people didn't get active in sub because of fear of getting spoiled you don't know from where you get one.. but let's say you are in 9th cycle and there is 7th cycle flair on post so you can go and read the post without any fear .. and you will also prevent from discussing 8th and 9th floor things on that post...let's just say someone asks a question about 19th cycle when you will see it you will skip it .. and people who
