As long as you realize they even exist...

I don't know... Mostly switched to Korean mahwas lately, as those are easier to find official translations of...

Over the past decade or so it became harder and harder for me to find new Manga's I was interested in. Seemed like so much of the new content that was being put out there were just harem-isekai's. I was initially interested in some of the "earlier" series such as Shield Hero, Gate, Kumo, and re:monster, to name a few, but lost interest in most - some way faster than others...

Right as that happened more and more Manhwa's started getting translated, so I slowly transitioned into that space. I'm not exactly in love with most of what I'm reading now on the Manhwa front as most of those series are cookie-cutter stories leaning on very similar tropes and often leading to very unsatisfying endings.

Yet the mainstream generic Manhwa series still seem to appeal to me more than most of the generic mainstream Manga's even though the isekai trend seems to be winding down. Most of the manga's I'm still reading are monthly and have very erratic release schedules. The one or two series I look forward to every week are now Manhwas.

I used to love having weekly/monthly series I was excited for, but it's gotten harder and harder for me to find quality content that I can consume with any kind of regular cadence.

Meanwhile the Manhwa scanlation scene is just a complete mess - I know plenty of the manga speed scanning groups of yesteryear weren't exactly beloved by the community, but I at the very least never felt like their content was straight up awful and wrong, and found they mostly stuck to decent series and never tried to translate literally everything they could get their hands on. Now I can't find a single Manhwa scanlator that isn't an aggregator trying to translate virtually anything they can find, usually to poor results, while simultaneously complaining about not being able to make a career out of their illegal translations and asking for money/paywalling their scans. By todays standards Narutofan wouldn't have been a scandal but an above average service...

Could you add such release filters? It's _manga_updates. I don't want to see manhua, manhwa, indonesian, oel and such.

As for the title, I read more manga than anything mmm... But I probably spend more time reading LN/WN lately mmm...

I will change this world mmm...
So the world can change me mmm...
