Manhwa with an acronym as a title

I think it was three letters.
The plot was about people that are thrown into an experiment with two gamelike traits, if one is good then the other is detrimental. The are only able to see one of the traits of the other participants. When the MC dies he is goes back to the ...

New Poll - Reading Layout
(10 posts, 340 views) Posted: 3 days ago by Joese in News
I totally agree with you. Single page all the way, except on seishua page (the single page interface is terrible on phone and web).
Most webtoons abuse the spacing between each panel and sometimes repeat half the prior chapter. I think it's because they force the authors ...

New Poll - Number of Series
(13 posts, 761 views) Posted: about 1 month ago by Joese in News
I'd say about 20.
I more or less follow 15 weekly/ monthly series and sometimes I check out series I dropped to see if they get better or if my predictions were right, but only a chapter. And lets be honest half the series on more than a year of haitus usually get axed and...

New Poll - Physical vs. Digital
(17 posts, 1101 views) Posted: 2 months ago by Joese in News
I'll go with digital.
I prefer reading full screen, except wide-ban format the printed ones are too small for my taste. Also, physical copies would occupy a ridiculous amount of space and licenses are a real problem since they take so long to be licensed, the collection e...

Quote from zarlan
That might be, or might not be, good advice ...for someone who lives in the US.
In countries where you don't get crippling, if any, debt from going to higher education, you absolutely should do so.

New Poll - Geography
(16 posts, 1080 views) Posted: 3 months ago by Joese in News
Probably Eastern Europe on the poll. I mean ONU does use those denominations, but Europe is excessively subdivided it that division and it counts everything east from the Urals (most of the Eurasian tectonic plate) as Europe.

Have you read past chapter 60 before giving this a rating?
(2 posts, 303 views) Posted: 3 months ago by Joese in Hero Has Returned
It's quite understandable, most similar series are usually power fantasy, harem or rely heavily on echi so those are the most likely to give the series a chance. If you don't catch on the fact that all is planed by the time hero you might find some things unreasonable.

New Poll - Unfinished Series
(19 posts, 1307 views) Posted: 4 months ago by Joese in News
Some other reason.
Mainly badly executed tropes and consistency. A good example of both would be Eleceed, it's so formulaic it hurts, chapters feel like a checklist destroying any hope of consistency and ruining many tropes.

Manga about swordsmiths

The only non fantasy I found searching in title /description that was historic was: "Utsushimi no Hana", but some of it's genres are (Drama Historical Romance Yaoi ) , and "The Swordsmith's Wife"
there's also a "Sword Smith/s" category, but most of it is fantasy.

I never thought determination and moral integrity would be the top 2 qualities of a hero.
(3 posts, 279 views) Posted: 4 months ago by Joese in Chatter Box
Well those two are the basics of idealised heroes, and quite standard qualities almost everyone wants to have/ see reflected in the MCs. Even if the canon of what a hero is differs from one country to another, the hero concept was usually used as a symbol.

I totally agree with you. I've been into manga for a bit longer, but the feeling is the same. Once you stick the a certain demography you end up getting fed up of the same tropes. And big series that you haven't read sometimes become a miss since you've read the series t...

New Poll - Manga Quality

In general, no, but some new manga are really bad.
There was always generic garbage and that hasn't really changed. From the old stuff usually only the best survive and sometimes some old manga that gets an adaptation or suits current tastes. I recently rediscovered "Shang...

New Poll - Qualities of a Hero

I voted for "Selflessness". I might've put Other and empathy, but selflessness is close enough.

Used to, but not really anymore.

Is there a way to search manga by year?
(2 posts, 333 views) Posted: 6 months ago by Joese in Suggestions & Bugs
After the search, order by year or add
&orderby=year
to the url and then after page 2 you can change the page number on the url. I usually put 100 per page.
If you just want popular old manga, you can check the lists of an old admin or a random user that has an old series yo...

What are the trends present in modern mangas and light novels that you hate the most?
(10 posts, 586 views) Posted: 7 months ago by Joese in Chatter Box
As all of you said harems are terrible. After reading lots or shounen I've become a inmune to it.
