I was browsing before and stumbled across this but when I checked it wasn't on the db.

Author- Sung San-Young
Illustrator- Sang-Ah
Release- Sep 6, 2013 (not 100% sure on this)
Serialised- Naver (http://comic.naver.com/index.nhn)


-I'm not sure the rules on linking to scans but any of these links on google will show you the Manhwa.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=The+Gamer+Manhwa

I'm also not sure if this is the place to submit new content.. sorry if it isn't :(

-I just found out webtoons aren't added to the db and "You do not have access to do this" appears when I try to delete this thread so could a mod delete it for me?

Google indexed an entry that was still in the queue. It was later denied by a manga moderator. If you go to the denials thread you can see that this manhwa has been denied several times because it's an unpublished web comic that doesn't meet the Database Guidelines. For more information about web comics please also read this thread.

I just googled on MAL to find why this hasn't been accepted. Sad to know it, i would have added it into my favourites. It's really worth reading though. Any person who has ever played games has a high chance of loving this one ;)

So, was this gone back a few times or something? I was just directed to the comic via a friend and had it in my manga list less than an hour ago and now it's been removed from the database again.

It isn't added to the database because it's a web manhwa. Same goes for Tower of Gods.

1. Only manga published by reputable publishing companies will be admitted to the manga database, with the following exceptions:

c. Manhwa, Manhua:
professionally published comics made in Korea or China for their respective markets.


That means most of new webtoons on Naver won't be allowed on MAL. There are some exclusions like noblesse, where it became so popular that it now has it's own books that are being sold.

I heard that Tower of Gods got it's first book done too, so hopefully when it starts selling we can finally get ToG into database.


But for The Gamer - won't happen any soon, if ever.

These guidelines are a bit contradictory toprevious precident. If a web series anime like Eve no Jikan gets put in the database the staff has no grounds to refuse a popular web manwha like this one.

1 - I own Eve no Jikan on Blu Ray, so your point of it being only a web series is invalid

2 - Anime has its own set of guidelines, seperate from the manga guidelines, including a section on ONA

3 - if you can point the mods in the direction of a legit physical book published for a web based manwha then that web manwha will be likely be added to the database

I honestly don't get why adding manwha because it isn't published is such a bad idea.
Yes, it might get a tiny bit more disorganized, but see it as Greenlight on Steam. It's a way for small series to get a chance.
People obviously read it. What's the point of not adding it?

While I can understand the desire to being able to keep track of things you like, the simple fact is that there are literally thousands, if not tens of thousands, of unpublished web manga, manwha and manhua. If MAL allowed them in, it would literally double the amount of entries in the database and the mods can barely keep up with what is going in now. The sheer logistics of trying to enter the data is mind boggling. Therefore, the only reasonable thing to do to keep the site running is to set limits and thus the manga guidelines, such as requiring a physical publication for webtoons, were born.

Yes, it's a digital, web manhwa, but with the increasing amount of manhwa that is being published in digital-only format, it's a little unfair. The Gamer may be a webtoon, but it's still being published by a publisher and created by a paid professional. It makes perfect sense to limit unpublished work, it's just too much for the site as it is, but there is a reasonable amount of manhwa in digital-only format now with the rise of Naver and their webtoons.

Now, aside from the reasons I state above, it's contradictory for MAL to accept some of Naver's digital-only webtoons and not others. The Gamer is not accepted despite multiple submissions, but Noblesse, which is being published by the very same Naver guys and is also digital-only, is in the database. Either accept all the digital-only published webtoons, or don't accept webtoons at all.

tl;dr The Gamer is published by Naver, digital-only, and not in MAL database. Noblesse is also published by Naver, digital-only, but is in MAL database. Please fix!

Noblesse isn't digital only. It was rejected many, many times and then it was published in physical volumes and thus allowed in the database.

This isn't an issue about being well known or not. It is an issue of it being an unpublished web comic. If it ever gets a physical release it will be added to the DB.

Nowhere in the guidelines does it say that it has to be physically published.

As far as the guidelines go, here's the exact quote :

c. Manhwa, Manhua:
1. professionally published comics made in Korea or China for their respective markets.

I believe the guidelines will have to change. It is said that physical prints are going the way of the dinosaur. Physical print books are thought to be no more in the near future. There is also something called "Electronic Publishing".

The Gamer was at the top of my list..
It's long surviving and has specials spun-off of the original.....

That's too bad. A bit nit-picky, but what can you do. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I would have put this at the top of my favorites as well. Oh well. Guess the only thing we can hope for it that this does get an official publication, along with other great stuff from Naver.

Manhwa's are amazing! I wish they could just add something to em like the word Unofficial or something or fan made or something to signify that it's not published y a proper company.
