When reading Korean manwhas do you guys convert their ages or just pretend it’s not in Korean age, bc Korean age adds 1-2 years which is why a lot of manwhas put an emphasis on how young a “20 year old kid” is bc they’re actually freshly 18-19 depending on if they have an earlier or later birthday im used to kpop so it automatically converts in my head
2? I thought it was one! Σ( ￣□￣||)
It depends if your born later or earlier in the year
I used to but now i don't. Bc now I understand how to read in context. It's the difference between just "that is young" vs "that is young after you convert the age".
Korean ppl already know that 20 years old is young. They don't have to do any math since it already exists in that context. Having to subtract years to understand why korean ppl think that way is me having to relate it to my non-korean experience. Now i just do it automatically.
((Also, it's not always 2 years. When koreans talk to each other they often say the year they're born instead of age.))
Technically it’s one, but if your birthday hasn’t passed, then it would be two. Basically, Korean age makes everyone’s birthday January 1st of their birth year, and when you are born, you are already 1 year old. (Obviously they know everyone’s birthday isn’t actually January 1st, but the system makes you age with the new year.) So a lot of “20 year old” kids in manhwa are 18 year old kids turning 19 that year. If you want to calculate your Korean age, you take your age and add 1 year if your birthday has passed and 2 years if it hasn’t passed yet.
Technically Korea abandoned this system as of 2023 but its still very commonly used since people have been doing it for so long.
Bls where it’s teen boys being teen boys, like in 19 days, like homoerotic friendship (before they get together) that reminds you of the boys in highschool who are best friends but you wouldn’t be surprised if they were lowkey in love
Ty!!

OMG THIS WAS EXACTLY THE TYPE I WAS LOOKING FOR TYY
TYSM!
Ok this might sound weird but any manwhas where it’s mainly the seme giving head (like checkmate)
Help me find this manwha pls, the FL is trying to escape an otome game world where the MLs keep killing her (I think) and when she finally reaches 100% with one of them she thinks she’ll be able to escape but she dies again and I think afterwards the real ML shows up
Cakeverse reccs plss preferably uke cake seme fork
What the fuck is the cakeverse
I like this one but it hasn't updated since November
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hunger_relation/
I don't think there's any completed cakeverse on this site sadly :(
like omegaverse but cannibalism. alpha is fork, and omega is cake
My first reaction but it’s so good it’s a world where people who are “forks” have no tastebuds so they can’t taste anything except people who are “cakes”, people who are cakes have no idea they’re cakes until a fork finds them, cakes’s body fluids and etc taste sweet and are the only thing forks can actually taste
Oh my shit
screaming. What. do they get flavours or what
id be red velvet heart be be be beat nanana na na
They doooo lmao! The cakes have flavors just like how omegas have specific scents.
OU MY GODDD
Am I the only one sick of boring plain looking ukes, you’ll have the ML being the most interesting and handsome character then an uke who has the personality of a wet rag and looks like a background character…
What things are you reading bc I be having the opposite problem lol every uke looks like he's been blessed by Aphrodite while the semes are the most generic 2mts tall men on existence
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/scent_spark/
Just finished reading this I loved it haha. Pretty Aphrodite blessed seme and hot buff manly uke blessed by the booby deities.
Daaaammnn I'm definitely checking this out
I was just thinking this
Yesss so true!!
I mean sure, there are a few where the uke is beautiful (always beautiful, NOT handsome and manly, apart from a few exceptions) but most times even if the uke is not that plain the seme is the most good looking man alive in their universe that everybody has a crush on I'M SO TIRED OF THAT.
Even when the uke is indeed handsome, the seme is always made EVEN MORE handsome. Can't we have more variety with ukes that are more good looking than their seme? Possibly not because they look like a woman and make all the guys lust after them just because of that??
(And let's not talk about the personality. It's even more obvious in love triangles where two extremely hot guys fight to the death over a mc that has less personality that the essays I was forced to write in middle school, my God)
I haven’t read these simply bc of the plain mc, but examples are Jinx, backlight, guildmaster next door, any guidverse that isn’t guiding hazard, undercover partners, BJ Alex, most popular ones tbh
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANN, and omg the reason they look like women isn’t diversity for fem ukes it has to be for people to project onto, the same reason why anime isekai mcs are all plain and look the same for men to pretend it’s them like cmon they’re the MC if they’re boring then who am I supposed read for??
I never understood this thing about plain main characters for projection. I mean, when I read a story I immerse myself and feel like I am the protagonist but I'd rather be hot?? If you're plain irl wouldn't you rather experience being extremely hot second-hand?
And even without projecting, like you said, wouldn't you rather read about a charismatic and interesting main character?
FRR like who do I look like imagining myself as a boring plain mc when I can be the coolest character in the series
Why are spin off manwhas based on the 2nd couple of the main manwha always 10x better, like the tropes are better, non cliche, the uke is better and has a real personality, any recommendations where I don’t have to read the main story to understand
story like that usually doesn’t have much “drama” so its cute as a short story but the standard for bls these day is just dick dick dick sex sex sex so
If you like bl novels/danmei you HAVE to read this, mc is my favorite character ever, he’s cocky, greedy, has low-zero morals, manipulative, like he’s perfect and the plot is even better this whole thing started with him becoming unemployed, it’s plot heavy and a slow burn so be warned, but the plot is so good that it would be more popular than stories like solo leveling if it wasn’t a bl. The romance is so good too, evil god x his only believer

any sa or anything?? im sold so far
NONE, not only would the mc kill anyone who even tried to the ML would never, they’re so devoted to each other
oh im so down
Idc if it’s BL or BG but pls give me angsty recommendations where the ML grovels a lot
Manwhas where the mc has a sad backstory/went through past trauma that isn’t immediately revealed? Like orv and I’m not that kind of talent
