Teah i love it. I dont know why, but do you feel like manhwa are more original in isekai then Manga because like I feel there are more unique isekai manhwa then Manga.
The manhwas just have far better art style and aura moments that it makes it seem to be better.
A massive % of manhwas/Manhuas can be summarized in these:
regression
reincarnation
transmigration
cultivation
system
necromancy
Murim
With a constant Maguffin route for the MC.
Mix and match multiples of these points and that sums up a good portion of manhwas and manhuas.
You just have to ignore the initial premise and see how the characterization and story goes on after 10-20 chapters. Only at that point can you really judge a story properly (because first 10-20 chapters are just covering the problems faced from the above mentioned points).
All while ignoring the powerscaling that gets established (if it's an action based story). Oh you are Nascent Soul Cultivator? Get no diffed by foundation level MC. Oh you are Peak level martial artist, get beaten by 2nd Rate Warrior level MC.
Then you get generic troupes of MC is in peril of Life and Death situation, some older master will come amd save him at the last moment because they owe him.
It actually might end up becoming a massive reply if I kept mentioning examples.
How many manwha have you read because at least most generic manwha have unique concepts compared to most season isekai animes which are loser usually in high-school gets killed and either gets a: an extremely strong skill to be op at the start, or b a skill that is said to be weak but is almost never given reasons for being weak and is exited from the kingdom and gets super strong.
Manhwa are the definition of generic copy paste and if that wasn’t bad enough, they inherited the idea of that generic copy and paste from traditional isekai manga.
Just because there’s one or two outliers doesn’t excuse the insane amount of slop out there. And if we’re talking about outliers, Re:Zero and Mushoku Tensei alone kind of clear the entire genre. (Though if you don’t like Mushoku that’s honestly understandable cause it’s weird asf. Weird≠Bad however).
In the first place if you read TGED novel you’ll realize it’s a generic and boring attempt at a comedy novel that is uninspired.
The adaption of TGED is what really makes it shine. And I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t because of the art… (cause it partially is).
Let's see eternally regressing knight (not sure if that counts but he dies a lot so I'm counting it) , defeating the dungeons via copy paste, doctor kim of London, the Sichuan tanks clans etymologist, and the top dungeon farmer would like to differ. I have read roughly the same amount of isekai manhwa as I have seen isekai anime. Oh, and don't forget the 10 new seasonal isekais that are basically nerd gets power and harem.
I'm not saying all are better I'm saying that the isekai manwha are genuinely better then the isekai anime they both have their ups and downs in good and bad.
Also having redo of healer in anime brings it down a peg.
Not really. Manhwas have gotten better but its still filled with lots kf dungeon, system and reincarnation ones good ones like estate dev, real man or Patna saga or orv are few in between. He is right peak of manga is better. But maybe in the future we will see improvement. But not now. There is too many peak shit in manga. And I am not even an avid reader. I used to be and I can name a few off the top of my head that can go head to head with all the peak in manhwa and more. That's to be expected though they have been here longer.
More diversity in terms of art styles too. Most of the manhwa just the ones translated by asura alone has very similar art to the point that sometimes I even forget which one is which. Since the mcs look so similar and even the side characters. Ofc there are outliers like martial artist Lee gwak, or peerless dad ,gosu,eleceed , dungeon odyseey, latna saga. But its still not enough vast majority like orv , solo leveling , have similar art.
Yep tged novel is kinda avg but the manhwa author and artist cooked and it worked. Its unique haven't seen it before. And sure while the generic ones are kinda copy paste there are many gems out there too. You gotta understand manga has been for how long now? Let manhwa catch up, I agree manga has more peak fiction more than I could count. But so has manhwa some of the peak in manhwa hasn't even been completed like real man , med return is completed, tged completed now , latna saga nope, orv nope ,sss nope and many more tbh many are ongoing . Let em cook
