Kind of not shocked

fr? did the author of the og mention it somewhere?
and to think i adored wmmap because of its art ╥﹏╥

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrY1Anxq/ Basically explains everything here

funny thing is that wmmap has been plagiarized so many times too -- it's spawned SO MANY super popular copycats -- like the amount of times i've seen a wmmap panel or plot word-for-word or line-for-line exactly copied is crazy.

the plagiarism just never stops lmfaoo

yes. they're very vocal about it but wmmap fans ended up spreading false information about their work. there's even a google docs abt it just google

ME TOO I don’t know why plagiarism is so common in the manhwa community like people generally can’t get their own ideas or what

They also attacked the original author

I saw this before but this was debunked. Although they may have similar plots, the story is way different. The novel of wmap is much much more complex and the manhwa was not able to show the chapters of the novel where it explains the entirety of the story.

It’s like saying all omegavers stories is a plagiarism of a japanese manga or the “kill the villainess” is a plagiarized form of “Death is the only ending for a villainess” considering the similarities despite different stories.

And the author of DOTE is kinda false… considering WMAP novel was released in 2017 despite and DOTE was released around 2020 (correct me if I’m wrong). The author of DOTE accused WMAP only when the manhwa was released which is a much later date didn’t they?

wasn't this a big thing two years ago? wmmap fans are brutal they bullied the other author to death

oh thanks for the

dang its that serious. too bad the work is now completed and there's no way to change it

Woah, seriously?

Oh damn...i put wmmap on my already read list like an hour ago because I read most of it like two years ago didn't know it was this controversial

Damn resurfaced again, I only found out about it recently

dote was first released in 2015

uh pretty sure DOTE (its novel at least) was released first, or else there'd be no controversy. and the novel of wmmap is actually the one that was accused of being plagiarized, afaik they changed a few things in the manhwa. and the author accused only after the manhwa was released is BECAUSE wmmap fans started attacking the author of dote first, which is why she had to come out and give a statement. at least thats what i remember.

the point of this dote-wmmap plagiarism issue is that back then circa 2015-2017 there's
not as much OI novel released as todays so you can immediately pinpoint if something "takes inpiration" from another. dote is practically one of the first OI in korean media.

Wait, so it was it inspiration or plagiarism? I’m so confused about the whole situation cause people are all saying a bunch of different things.

Ehh.. either way a lot of stories have that plots so every straight isekai is a plagiarism of a story who started the genre and every gaming BL is a plagiarism of what started it if we are gonna apply the logic

i can't find the post where someone explained everything, but i'll tell u what i remember- back then, the author of dote was one of the first, or maybe the first to start the trope of tyrant father and daughter trope. it started gaining popularity after that. obviously copying a trope isnt plagiarism, but the author of wmmap copied the exact same sentences of dote into her own novel, maybe modified them a bit. she also copied the exact same character traits, basically everything. and also admitted**** to it and apologised in a tweet. she deleted the tweet later.

the argument of "a lot of stories have the same plot" doesnt rly work in this case bc OI wasn't as popular back then, its practically a niche genre in kr media until wmmap came out and popularized it. and its not only the big picture like "oh it's just a girl isekaid as princess and has shitty father whatever," so many similarities in small details too. you gotta read the docs.
