You could say that the source material is other, mainly because the OEL comic or light novel does not meet the criteria to be added here.
Just for the record, TBATE is not a manhwa. Don't know why so many of users say so. It's an OEL comic aka Original English Comic. It's just using the same style as a manhwa but it doesn't make it one.

I think, not everyone knows either the diffrence between that many manga, manhua, manhwa, OEL and more types. Or they don't know what is added to the Mal database.
I asked the same question and didn't know either😅

As for me I know but I don't see myself remembering to call it OEL comic instead of manhwa

Because the source material is an American comic, not manga or LN.

The source material is NOT an American comic, but a web novel, as seen by the fact that the first episode contains characters that aren't even on the comic yet.

MAL should really add the TBATE novel and comic. Had to make an Anime Planet account years ago because of MAL's weird rules.
At least they finally started adding some chinese and koreans comics lately.

I don't think so. MAL only contains materials of East Asia (Japan, Korea, China). TBATE is original English, American content. That's why it's not available in MAL. If they add TBATE than Comics like Teen Titans, Marvel can be added to.

@MadanielFL Sorry. Forgot that there are no borders on the internet and author's nationality is irrelevant. 🙏

You can call it an American web novel if you want...

I know. Thanks for assuming i didn't /s

TBATE got an Anime with Japanese voice acting, might as well add the source material.
Weird ass gate keeping from MAL is all this is.
