I think the reason why some people prefer japanese or korean is the story though. Although I have read a few good chinese manwha (bl wise not shojo wise)
My opinion might be biased towards chinese manhua but I do think they don't really care about the quality. Often times the story is just a recycle of what the public wants, (face slapping, mary sue MC) and it feels more like a farm rather than artwork.
Not all are like that, since there are some manhua that I enjoy (Most are BL though) But I do hope they increase more quality manhua.
I'm not a big fan of Chinese manhuas, not because of the art, but mostly because of the characters.
Not sure if it's something cultural or simply a cliche they got very used to see...but they are very "machistas" ( I don't know how to say in English, but it's like sexists I think)
Most of the Chinese manhuas I've read the FL can't never win against the ML, even when she tries to stand up for herself. Which can even get a little cringe...
I feel like most of korean manhwas show a more empowering FL
It's just my opinion....
Do you have any good Chinese BL manhua recommendations?
I recommend some I personally like supernatural/historical types:
Vampire Sphere
Chuan Yue Xi Yuan 3000 Hou Manhua (time travel/future)
Qishi Huanxiang Ye Manhua (Medieval magical game)
Blue wings/lan chi (FL is an orphan taken in by rich family)
Star dream idol project (can’t remember if this was Chinese or Korean lol)
Legend of the tyrant empress (historical op FL)
Love like cherry blossoms (modern)
Sky city: the formation of the Phoenix
Pharaoh’s concubine/the song of sand and seas (time travel/egypt (real tear-jerker)
Xuan ji ci (FL plus two hot dudes get transported into a historical game and both the dudes turn into girls (both sometimes have questionable sexualities))
My imperial guard boyfriend (ML time travels to modern world)
Flying Over a Thousand Mountains to Love You (FL is a black swan)
The world of canglan (not much romance, but has op man character form as she’s stuck in a game)
Sweet bite (vampires, beautiful art)
19 days (BL, hot crackhead dudes)
-
There are some good ones on the webcomics app (but beware as there are many and I mean MANY repetitive stories where the ML is a rich a**hole head figure of some company, and also comics that can already be found on the internet)
Some BL’s include:
March third (hot shameless general that is head over heels for the beautiful performer who has fighting skills)
Ugly emperor (one is a prince born with a birthmark on his face and is abused and called ugly, the other is a eunuch who serves him)
10 years that I loved you the most (forgot if this was chimes or not,, but depressingly sad+ pretty sure it’s posted on this site as well)
Bromance (also forget if it’s Chinese or not)
20 twenty (artist x singer)
Supporting actor’s survival game
Meet me after school
Life going wild with plug-ins (some sort of god that created his own world but forgot how it works and becomes part of it)
-
Anyways if you just look there there’s a lot of good BL whether if it’s Chinese or not. There are also good Chinese romance comics just try to steer clear of the cold rich dudes.
Lol I get what you mean. I can’t really remember if the ones I’ve read were all Chinese cause it’s kinda hard to tell on the webcomics app, but there’s tons of horrible stories. There was this one comic where the FL was like married to the ML but because of misunderstandings he hates her and literally calls her normal self ugly and a monster. Then she has this masked identity who is bold and can fight really well, the ML loves that version of her and doesn’t realize it’s the same person, so he basically tries to “cheat” with her masked self on her real self. She falls for him tho even though he’s treated her like garbage.
Another comic that drives me insane is where the FL and ML are married (course he’s rich and a complete a**) she’s been in love with him for years, but her step sis “innocently” fell for him and loved him too so the ML and her step sis dated planning to marry, that was until the sis went to jail for the FL (acting like an angelic sister, but she’s evil). ML decided to get married to FL instead (it’s confusing). He treats her as if she ruined their relationship and hates her. Obviously he has feelings for her but proceeds to treat her even worse. He’s abusive and always says terrible stuff to her, confusing her by showing her affection at times and then saying that he only loves her step sis. He’s extremely jealous and has a bad temper. He chokes her sometimes, like it isn’t cute sir -.- He sees her talking to her step sis’ doctor at a hospital and automatically assumes she’s being a h*e, when she’s literally asking the condition of her sis. It never ends. Oh and she believes her step sis’ is actually a good and nice sister.
I'm not a fan of Chinese manhua but I do not hate I like some of them
Some are bad and some are good. So good actually
I do really like qishi huanxiang ye, star dream Idol project and many more! They are interesting(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I read Chinese manhua on webcomic btw they are pretty good
Yeah, I agree. Howvever, I prefer chinese novel over manhuas. I don't know but it just turns out that novels I choose are chinese where there are powerful female mcs, logic versus non logic, strong+strong couple, mother of a villain, time travel to start a better life and others. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I chose most of them from Boxnovel https://boxnovel.com/
Lmaoo am I the only one who doesn’t hate Chinese Manhua? I see the overall general opinion of what people think:
Korean manhwa = amazing
Japanese manga = could be great or terrible
Chinese Manhua = horrible
-
I can say that I’ve seen some pretty bad Manhuas and the art would be lacking but I’ve mainly noticed that this occurs frequently in modern time stories (especially including the rich cold president stories). But most of the historical time or stories set in a world that contains magic are really good. Maybe some people just haven’t looked hard enough to find the best Manhua, cause I know I’ve seen many and am perfectly happy :p
-
the art style in the cover is obviously better than the actual art style in the chapters, but this doesn’t just go for manhuas only. I’ve seen this happen many times, it may be to attract readers, or maybe it was a requested cover by the author to a really good artist, or it’s because high quality art style is hard to maintain perfectly after a while. There have been stories that are able to keep the same high quality art, but I’d just say that they’re really talented or have a lot of time and patience to keep their art consistent.
-
As a person who’s done art myself, I draw a really nice character and then as I try to make some sort of comic I get tired of having to redraw with the exact same quality, it’s also hard to keep your style consistent.
-
Anyways I don’t care at all if the art is different in the cover than the actual story, it’s still good art regardless. Please give love to all asian comics and try to be more open minded to Chinese manhuas, cause I dunno some people be like “no offense but...” or “not trying to be racist but...” even though you kinda did say something a bit insulting lmfao
