i saw several manhwas several ones that are not on mal and they are just so shallow or isekai cliché two very good but the rest is just an oily hamburger.

I like manhwas more than manhuas and I mostly just read them for some guilty pleasure I guess? I'm pretty sure I managed to bookmark 100+ manhwas with that same genre but that's because no matter how many times read the same genre it's just so addicting... damn it.. don't worry though I'm getting better I think

I can't agree or disagree due to the fact that I don't think I've actually read any proper Korean manhwa besides the one that inspired Ragnarok Online, however I have read a lot of Korean Webtoons, and calling them unoriginal is an understatement, so if that's what we're talking about I do agree. Even when they have an original premise, the execution is always super basic, and the art despite looking good at first glance lacks personality for the most part (granted, the art criticism is just Webtoons in general, even Japanese Webtoons look boring).

I'm sure there are exceptions, but it's annoying that I have to actually go out of my way to find them instead of accidentally stumbling upon them occasionally like with manga.

Damn thats kind of true though. I don’t really think it matters if manhwa are good or not as long as you are enjoying them

I've only read one so far (Sweet Home), and it certainly didn't seem like "simple trash". Maybe it's a rare exception though.

Korean hentai NTR manhwa on the other hand...

If you're having crippling depression, hopefully our videos will send you to another world and have you reborn as an isekai protagonist

I haven't read to many mawnhas, but I have found some to be pretty awesome like Kubera for the fantasy genre, and Cheese in the Trap for the romance genre. Kubera is expertly woven tale consisting of 6-7+ POV characters and pantheons based on Hindu mythology.

This should probably be in the Manga forums.

I also liked Faeries Landing and another cute one whose name I can't remember :(

I've read a lot of manhwa and I consider most of them are pretty bad
Most of shoujo oriented ones are about princesses reincarnations and CEO's and the "shounen" oriented ones are about brainless fight scenes every 2 chapters
The BL ones are the worst part, filled with cliches and flat characters
I can only think of 3 or 4 manhwas I've actually enjoyed of the hundres I've read

I mean, we can say the same about Light Novels and the current anime industry, but yeah, most manwha is just pretty characters with no personality doing nothing.

Kinda like whattpad used to be, but with pictures.

That still doesn't explain why this thread isn't in something like the Manga Discussion board instead...

I like some of them for sure, their isekai is usually better written than japanese LNs.

But just like action shounen manga, action manhwa are all the same with slightly different scenarios.

There are a few good ones like Bastard, or Sweet Home though.
And Tower of God which is a really good balance of mystery and action.
Also Eleceed which has good character development and a lot of comedy, similar to Noblesse or Girls of the Wild's.

But most manhwa are same, I have read a lot of both manhwa and manga, and all I have to say is, just like how battle shounen or isekai keeps getting pumped out, action manhwa are the same thing as well. You just gotta find the gems like you do with Seinen in manga.
