Vai, sāk parādīties jaunas pakaļdarinātāju trupejas.
Kas notiek ar korejiešiem un:
Izglābto vampīra/pūķa sidekick
Piespiedu paverdzināšanu.
(Tas mani uzjautrina, kāmēr jāpīši lētajās trupās atsavina vergus tikmēr korejieši paverdzina un šantažē ļaundarus)
Kādam kas, ko pievienot?
Domāju regresija/tornis/starstream nepieskaitīsim, tas vairāk piederās pie žanra.
lol, pirmo reizi dzirdu, ka korejiešiem tā tās lietas darās. :D Ja es tevi pareizi saprotu, japāņu stils ir nopirkt vergu veikalā, taču korejiešiem paverdzināt savu ienaidnieku. Ej tu nost, tur tajā Āzijas izklaides industrijā es kaut kā galīgi nejūtu aizspriedumus pret verdzību. xD
You have to understand something of the big three (Japan, Korea and China).
It’s that, when it comes to stories, Japan can do just about anything, it just might not hit super well all of the time.
Korea however, will make absolutely crazy scheming stories, whether financial, medical, Hunter and Tower sort of deal, or anything else, it’s going to be insanely scheming focused. The power leveling almost seems secondary, even in stories that want to focus on it specifically.
With examples like: (The world after the End (although it’s very much a parody of the scheming ideas), Labyrinth Odyssey (Despite the clear power levels and attempts at codifying as much as possible, it clearly still has massive scheme influence, mostly in the form of diplomacy, but also in the ‘unlikely allies’ trope.
Chronicles of the demon faction, also, has incredible scheming happening near always, whether it’s the initial ‘hide your powers to not draw attention’ to the later 'how am I going to make this guy come out so I can rip out his throat.)
China in its stories, when you can wade through the unimaginable slop and abysmal translations, will have one thing.
Power. It will cling to the idea of power, setting all else aside. If you aren’t strong, you aren’t righteous, if you’re not ripping by the roots, you aren’t doing it right. Kill, maim, and make sure that all that stand in your way know that they’ve fucked up so royally, that even their grandkids will remember it. (Provided they’re still alive).
A chinese story will try to scheme, try to make something up, but it will be so profoundly, absurdly stupid and backwards that you’ll simply watch as if it’s a trainwreck in slow motion.
A specific example I have in mind as I’m writing this, is from the comic Evolution starts with a big tree. Quintessential slop, but entertaining enough by virtue of the fact that the emotions and relations between the main cast feel sincere, even if severely rushed and sometimes boiled down to: “I met you once, you gave me an apple, I will give you my life in return.”
In said story, the protagonist is a tree with a system, said system gives him strength according to what creatures he manages to kill, which allows him to evolve. Said evolution was spotted rather early on by humans using a satellite that can ‘read’ spiritual power. Humans, who’d been rather rattled by monsters in recent times, started to mount expeditions to scout the place our protagonist is stuck in (owing to being a tree). Humans, noticing his growing army/family unit, freak out after getting rustled a bit and taking a grand total of 2 casualties, claim that the tree is an abomination, must be cleansed, must be destroyed now, now now, immediately.
Fast forward to 30 chapters.
The captain of that scouting team holds a massive grudge, and that grudge has allowed him to take control of roughly 50k military assets, infantry, tanks, helis, planes, even a spiritual nuke (more powerful than regular ones), and hijacks the operation meant to control the east china sea being overrun by monsters orders of magnitude stronger than our protagonist at the moment.
He then uses this entire force, including superhumans that are incredibly difficult to nurture correctly, to hunt our protag tree.
Both sides blow out, protag is dead, the captain is dead, his entire force, and what the country would consider their only chance at fighting against monsters, also gone.
All because one moron was really, REALLY ready to cut that tree down.
And that, is the level of scheming in chinese webcomics, most of it. I won’t deny that there isn’t absolute slop in any of the three, nor that there isn’t any really really good stuff, but on average, this is what is seen.
yeah, after first few cultivator manhuas I entirely dropped it as genre. Chinesese seem to be obsessed with the fantasy of being able to ruin lives with the pretense of self protection so very much any kind of proper writing becomes second tier concern.
So you missed all the good ones then.
Lot of the good ones aren’t chinese though.
I mean the good chinese ones, of course.
