tbh it irks me when people say psyche was "weak" before her character development. she was naive and sheltered, yeah, but weak? she stood up to those two men for badmouthing medea and straight-up asked them what they know about her. that spine of steel was always there somewhere. even eros, who looks down on and scorns her, is noted by the narration to know that "she may look delicate, but she is a strong person" and that "she's someone who does not flinch in the face of storms".

your throne is a great example of how a webtoon suddenly becoming romance focused ruins the entire storyline and just basically the whole story.

Your throne/I want to be you just for a day TRIAL saga SPOILERS
I find intresting how in the "Trial" saga in Your Throne, when Medea want to be seen as a seductress by the people, she decide to hairstyle her hair looking like her mother who was the person who teached her hoe to "seduct" the Prince. Also she wear uncharacteristically red clothing, that at first I thought it was to recall Perion color palette apparence, but it also recall her mother's hair color.

Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)
I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.
Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.
I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.
By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.
One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.
People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.
I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr

hi! wdym when u said that your throne is going downhill? what happened?
sorry for seeing this so late, im rarely active on tumblr :(
and about your throne going downhill, it was moslty because i felt like the author butchered medeas character for fanservice (the whole eros and helio love triangle thing ig?). her character just felt so weird at the time? i can't really comment more on it since i have dropped the webtoon and picked at random times so the whole storyline is jumbled up for me and im only reading rn for my pookie psyche cause we finally got the backstory of her parents and her (which im happy and sad at cause omg PSYCHE DESERVES SM BETTER)
i just dont think medeas character isnt as well written as it was before and medea is a huge base for the entire plotline and it just was so messy like suddenly romance became the focus? and the whole thing was so weird and the storyline doesnt even make sense at this point. i feel like the author is rushing to finish it since it was said by her that the ending is nearby.
also if u do like the current your throne plot, then thats fine too! i havent read the webtoon properly in a while so take my words with a grain of salt. i just dont like how the author is treating the characters now and its just feels like the writing has gone worse.

it will be always beyond me how you guys will root for the mean female character in the isekai / historical stories and call her "girlboss" just for doing anything . But ofcourse the girl who is being all cute and extroverted is bad and an immediate threat to her!!! But the guy who is being all cute and extroverted is a potential ml and you guys will swoon over how y'all be getting "2nd male lead syndrome" even if the guy has the persona of ⅓rd of a raw bread lmao.
Yes I won't outright hate you for writing female characters who hate eachother and all but I miss the thought behind writing them and interpreting them properly .
wow I needed to get that off my chest .
In conclusion: y'all are mean to female characters without no reason and lenient with male characters for no reason and it's dumb lmao
