Just a dick comparing contest... I see it happen so many times when I read Chinese manhwas that it makes me wonder if this isn't a Chinese story.
(PS: I'd avoid reading Chinese manhwas unless they're your dirty pleasure... the plots are the same, drawn out cliché and its like the author is just churning out the work to make the deadline)
Some of the are good tho like : Cheating Man must die or Godess Creation system
Read what you want to no matter If It's Chinese or whatever else. There are some good Chinese manhwas too
Im not saying they're totally bad... but the plots are usually revenge based... especially if they're isekais… "oh u killed me in my past life, now I can take revenge" etc etc...
tl;dr im not saying u cant read them but Korean stories tend to be more thought out in comparison, Chinese ones are just … like I said, "dirty pleasures" (they're very simple and often bring in a loser character to be mean for a couple chapters then shove them off like dirt cus they fulfilled their purpose)
Lol the cannon fodders who are no match for protags halo
god... ugh. It gets gratuitous after a while of seeing it over n over.
if I had my way, id use it once in the beginning and then maybe one other time to distract the reader from another plot or to chain react a bigger plot... not just have it there to signal that the main character is gonna get something for free.
The lighter and pen scene hahahaha
