This is begging for racist psychoanalysis of the Asian male psyche. The protagonist is a professional tutor and he's helping his students cheat by feeding them the test answers ahead of time. There's a white chad that is portrayed as the villain for rightfully accusing him of cheating (and also fricking the sideways vagina that he crushes on)

Maybe it's selection bias but all the manhwa I've seen are insane. Action MCs are universally murderhobos. They glorify mind-numbing grinding for literal years in online games or school as an incredible skill. The panelling is shit optimized for mobile phones. Usually one panel at a time, covered by gookrunes and stretching over 5 screen heights of whitespace. I'd judge the readership harshly but I've read japanese isekai LNs in the past so![:marseyembarassingpurchase: :marseyembarassingpurchase:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyembarassingpurchase.webp)

I love scrolling through a really tall piece of art on a screen, it gives me nostalgic vibes for watching an ansi scroll in my childhood. I like manhwas more than jap shit on average, the art is frequently quite good. Right now I am liking this one: https://asuracomic.net/series/myst-might-mayhem-5a8b5fc0
The protagonist is definitely pretty murderhobo though, but the horror art is sick as heck.

I have a similar complaint about manga. Mangas tend to never ever grasp the gravity of murder as a concept, and routinely forgive or make established serial killers into side characters or insta-redeem them (making a chocolate cake totally makes up for murdering 5 passer-bys dudes. They're friendly now!
)

Western media dose that too. Especially videogames. Mass murdere becomes your best friend at drop of hat. In general, modern entertaiment media dosent give life enough gravity. Except main cast. They cant die becouse it would make people sad

What i have recently noticed is how lives of little people dont ammount shit in korean stories. They are really aristocratic. There is Elite that matters and everyone else that get fricked.
It dosent matter if its story taking place in olden times or current time. Little people dont matter.
Its odd how they dont break that mold.

Literally every Chinese story (korea is just shit china so it's included) is "oh herro I am weakest person and everyone burry me sad face but secretry I have secret power rat make me strongest and now I burry everyone erse yay"
It's never the western conception of "I should dismantle the unfair system that oppressed me" it's always "I'll have my turn at the top, sucks to be everyone else".
You also see this with Indians when they flood into western countries, they immediately start talking about how they're going to take revenge for historical slights rather than how much better their life is now.

Is it heritage of god emparor system. Top is god. And what changes is court under him. Japan its very entrenched still. You still cant mock emperor in media.
Maybe elsewhere it comes out. System is entrenched forever and only who get to enjoy fruits of system change. That's why those fo dont make play for top dont count. Only once that matter is those who make play to top. And in stories hero is one who wins

Yeah I noticed something like that too, I've read a few manhua and in several there is this one plot (because a lot of them copy each other's plots) where basically it goes like:
1. Earth is going to be doomed in some way
2. Character goes back in time
3. Character has some knowledge from the future that will allow them to get strong faster to prepare for the doom
That method can be unusual tech, knowledge of future forms of magic, or something like a cultivation technique that levels you up super fast.
They NEVER do the obvious solution of sharing this knowledge so that the population of earth can become strong and overcome the doom. They always keep it to themselves so they can be treated like golden gods and shit on the filthy peasants who beg them to save them. It's extremely weird because the plot will insist this is all necessary to save the world, but the characters are deliberately endangering the world to get kitty and the story won't call them out for it

Yes. And every other character that means anything to story are also part of some elite. May it be superpowered humans in current earth or martial artist in olden time.
Its never story of mere mortal man against horrors of universe. Its always special beings against bad guys

Shonen protags almost always get kitty as a side effect of selflessly saving the world because it's the right thing to do, whereas chinese ones demand massive tithes and kitty before they'll lift a finger.

And in nip comics. Protag is part of force trying to protect people. Either secret organisation or open.
In other gook comics. Protag is part of force trying to enrich themselves or protect his and his familys wealth. Or outright there to get atenttion.

It's not just the stories. Check the Miryang gang r*pe incident, for example. Girls systematically being gangraped in school by dozens of boys from prominent families, and it was filmed. The police subsequently harassed the families of the girls for reporting it and demanding the boys be tried and punished. It isn't odd when you realize it is the ever-present reality of Korean society. Goryeo had the longest unbroken legal tradition of slavery in history. Everything blacks accuse white people of doing, creating a giant society wide system to continually keep them down? Actually true for Korea's former slave classes. If you don't come from a prominent family then your son will be extorted on a daily basis and your daughter will be gang r*ped. It is no wonder that South Korea has the world's lowest fertility rate. Why would you want to have children that are going to be r*ped and extorted?

I have my own theory about this: If there's some injustice going on, the Korean instinct is to get pissed off at you if you complain about it. Stop rocking the boat! Stop making me actually try to solve the problem! The worst kind of landlord you can have is a Korean because he'd rather have a tweaker who pays their rent on time and breaks into everyone's place than a normal person who pays their rent on time and complains about it.

The "readership" if you can even call it that is 12 year old boys. Every popular manhwa is a male power fantasy where the comments are celebrating ruthless crushing and torture of MCs rivals.
Everyone who enjoys manhwa is a child, or has the brain of one.

There's one I saw where a guy gets bullied then finds a magic sword that instantly turns him into basically the villain from the first hulk movie and he's an unstoppable invincible muscle juggernaut and just spends 100 chapters slaughtering anyone he wants and raping people while they cry and beg for mercy. Kind of fricked

I remember seeing one that was literally a Western except America is colonized by the Chinese in the 13th century. Was absolutely fricking hilarious, even included a classic showdown except instead of unholstering a revolver it was unsheathing swords. I don't think it was supposed to be funny though.

I think it was suposed to be funny. No other reason to make it so cheesy.
That comic is more self aware then 99% other shit. It highlights where wealth comes from. Regular people and harshness of life. Its not just demigods throwing themselves at each other damm the consequences for anyone else and live off by leaching off from regular people.
