Particularly referring to the manhwa since its obvious the light novel is Chinese and I have never seen Chinese novels added here before but the webtoon is a legit webtoon. Anilist added it so I'm curious if MAL ever will. One of the best series ever. Is there any way to request MAL to add the series? Thanks in advance.

Manhwas are Korean. Chinese works are "Manhua"s.

China has no Light Novels, they are either WebNovels (released online), or plain Novels (released as books). MAL do not add the former (no matter the source), as they are amateur works, while MAL is a professionnal listing database. That mean these WebNovels need to get a physical release in China, and then it'll be added (like Quan Zhi Gao Shou, for example).

As for Webtoons, it's currently in a more complicate situation. Up to around a year ago, MAL accepted Manhwas and Manhuas only if they had physical copies in their countries of origin; Webtoons were not allowed. But they changed that a little, and now accept them if they are from certain sites (like Naver, and Lezhin. You can find the rules there). Unfortunately, there is no Manhuas on these sites, so they are the same as before; they need a physical copy. So currently, Gu Zhenren won't be added to MAL.

Nearly the entirety of the entries has been added by users themselves. MAL let you submit an entry (with all of its infos) here. Mods then check the submission when they have the time to, and either accept or deny it depending if it fit the rules or not.
