: I have read a lot of manhwa's manhua and manga as well as Chinese, Korean, Filipino and English novels. It doesn't mean that that aren't on the list that they don't deserve to be recommended. Once again I have read alot, but if I were to recommend stuffs, here are the list that came into mind. So if you're trying to find your personal fav, this is just my preference haha.

: I also barely included the famous ones like the sports manga, and some favous manhwa like WMMAP cuz those are just you know, they know about it for sure. Then again I included TCF and ORV on the novels because not everyone is really interested on reading long ass novel like jajdjskajhdiakjsjan I did not even include my BL list HHAHAHA

: If I'm not updating, I'm just reading, reread these stuffs. Bye.

[rxrmp]

At this point, I want to study and learn Korean language to read bl novel kasi bitin ang updates ng mga mahwa *^*

[misto713]

ok, i can agree with that. there are some dumbasses on both sides of the fence xD

there's a lot of readers/viewers who just can't be bothered to put a single thought into the content they consume and blame it on the author. and there are also a lot of really weak authors who nonetheless get their work published.

maybe it's the type of works i read lately - korean and japanese novels and webcomics (i utterly gave up on the chinese ones, never found one i'd actually like). i can't even count the number of works with blatant internalised misogyny where somehow the girl is always at fault, even when a man cheats on her or abuses her.

at this point i'm so sick and tired of it that i immediately drop the story if i get even a hint that the original MC or saintess was 'evil all along'. there is only one story where i (almost) tolerate it but even that one is getting boring because now EVERYTHING is blamed on the girl :/

by contrast, there are some really fantastic stories out there. solid plot, good world building, interesting mystery, colorful characters... they are a rare find but so good!!

if you like mysteries and slowly unveiled clues, and amazing characters, then give these ones a try:

Beware of chicken

a take on the 'xianxia' type of novel subverting all tropes. i adore this work and all it's characters.

Mark of the fool

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/41618/mark-of-the-fool

brief summary: the 'class clown' type of character becomes a hero and is actually frighteningly good at it. and he also bakes pies.

i privately call it "finally a male protagonist with high EQ". alex is a good boy and is doing his best.

A Countess' Magic

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/60649/a-countess-magic-a-transmigrated-into-a-villainess

"broken engagement" trope done right. not much romance (yet) but the story is fascinating even without it, even if the beginning kind of implied it will be romanve focused :D lots of politics and scheming but written so excellently that it's fun to read.

Saintess Summons Skeletons

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/62087/saintess-summons-skeletons-a-holy-necromancy-litrpg

overpowered MC, lots and lots of skeletons, explosive fights... in one word: shenigans. i like the author's style.

Another typical fantasy romance

https://bato.to/title/96753-another-typical-fantasy-romance

one of the few manhwas i actually love. i love the healthy communication between the main couple and the way they refuse to fall prey to nasty clichés.

Finding twilight

https://bato.to/title/117229-finding-twilight

starts kinda... spicy but there is nothing truly explicit in the story. it's both a romance but maily it feels like a mystery. still not quite sure where the plot is going but i like it.

Dungeon reset

https://bato.to/title/88714-dungeon-reset-official

more of a 'boy' mahwa, but it's a fun read with no harmful tropes. i especially love the friendship between our MC and the 'original' hero. really fun story!

Daughter of the Albert House wishes for ruin

https://bato.to/title/113668-albert-ke-no-reijou-wa-botsuraku-wo-goshomou-desu-official

highly appreciated since it's one of those works where the original heroine remained a sweet cinnamon roll.

--

there are more good stories but these ones stand out / am currently reading.

whoever finds this rec list, hope you enjoy :)

I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.

‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.

‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.

‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.

So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT

[hopeheartfilia]

thr mahwa ive been reading doesnt have any more chapthers out so ive started on the novel its adapting... and its on wattpad so that brings some memories back.. so many things change everytime i open it

[wisteriaxxviolet]

Thanks for the tag!

Okay here goes~

Three facts about me:

1. I have two cats and a chinchilla 🐈🐱🐭

2. My favorite color is green

3. I have a three year old niece who is often mistaken as my child because we look very similar. My sister constantly jokes that she had my kid and is waiting for me to have hers 😂😅).

Favorite Season:

I don’t really have one but I mostly like Spring and Fall. Fall because it’s a cool enough to wear sweaters and hoodies but not cold enough for a winter jacket. I grew up in the Midwest, so winters were always harsh and snowy. Spring because I love being able to take walks in the parks and it’s warm enough that I’m not constantly sweating. I live in the South now, so summers are humid and hot 🥵, so the A/C must constantly be on🌬️. Otherwise, I usually suffer from seasonal allergies 🤧 so it’s a struggle.

Continent Where I Live: North America

How I spend my Time:

-Helping my sister look after my niece

-Watching Movies (been in a thriller/horror mood because of Spooky Season 👻🎃)

-Playing video games (console player 🎮)

-Writing (both original and fanfic works)✍🏾📖

-Reading (novels, kindle Vella, manga, mahwa, comics, graphic novels. I’ve been listening to audiobooks more often because of how busy I am.)

-Scrolling through Tumblr and Facebook

-Posting updates for my online used bookstore. Usually pretty active on Instagram and on here😉.

-Shopping for books (more like putting them in my wishlist…my TBR list hates me 🫣)

-Watching YouTube videos, mostly gaming videos, true crime, or music.

-Listening to music 🎶🎧

-Spending time with my family

-Scrolling on Pinterest and creating inspo boards for my books and other random things

-Cuddling my cats and feeding treats to my chinchilla.

-Playing DND with a group of online friends

Are you published?

I self published one book around 2014-2015. It was shortly after I did Nanowrimo that year and I was proud of it. I decided to take it down in order to polish it, but I wasn’t able to write for years after that. Now, I’ve got so much I want to write now, is crazy. I’m trying to balance it out between my day job and other responsibilities. I’m so thankful that my family has been super supportive in my writing journey.

Introvert or Extrovert?

Definitely an introvert. It’s one of the reasons why I hate retail/customer service jobs. It’s not that I can’t do those jobs, it’s more that it takes a lot out of me mentally. Writing used to help me cope with it but lately it’s been causing so much anxiety that I can’t write 😓. Social settings, it depends if I’m am alone or with friends. If I’m alone, I make friendly chit chat but I’m mostly quiet and to myself. I’m actually trying to get out the house more so I can be a bit more social. I’m a homebody but I occasionally go out for movies, food, and for my niece’s sake.

Favorite Food:

I love pasta and pizza🍕 🍝, but friend chicken and waffles 🍗🧇comes close to my favorite comfort meal. I also love udon noodles and pot stickers. I love barbecue as well, especially ribs (pork ribs to be exact).

thanks for the tag @mjparkerwriting :)

Three facts about me:

Instead of growing, I started shrinking—I went from 5’4 to 5’2 over the course of 3 years.

I’ve had 4 near death experiences, with one resulting in a trip to the hospital.

I’m very accident prone, but I’ve never broken or fractured any of my bones.

Favorite season: Fall and spring. Fall because it’s cold, but not cold enough to the point where I have to sleep with a hoodie and a heater, and spring because where I’m from, it tends to rain a lot during the spring.

Continent where I live: North America

How I spend my time:

Listening to music

Studying / doing assignments

Reading (mostly manhuas though 😬)

Watching TV / Movies

Drawing

Scrolling through TikTok / Tumblr

Going through YouTube

Writing

Watching / practicing volleyball (i used to play varsity, but i don’t have the time to play as much nowadays)

Are you published? I remember in high school, we had to write a short story and a poem for the school paper, but I don’t know if it was ever published or not. I don’t think it was though, so nope.

Introvert or Extrovert? I’m an introvert cursed with a group of extroverted friends who are constantly trying to push me out of my comfort zone. I still love them tho lol

Favorite Food: I grew up in a Haitian household, so most of my meals had some sort of meat, so maybe chicken or beef. But I also really like takeout and Popeye’s lmao

[otomelavenderhaze]

I didn’t realized it before, but now I was thinking about it and I want to share this sort of trip with whoever is keeping up with “Seduce The Villain’s Father”, because I think you guys will appreciate and feel me more than anyone else. 

Doing a quick recap: we know that Yenni, in her previous life, had read the novel that gave “birth” to the world that she has born into as the first generation of it, that the story is actually about the next generation: Yenni’s niece, that when we start the mahwa has not born yet, and her knight’s son, right? Right. 

So, my mind wandered off that, rather than whatever was happening on Yenni’s alternative timeline, I was thinking about the things that Yenni changed for the parents of those kids and in Erudian’s life, and so I was thinking how many minor characters I loved, like she did when she read the novel, and I saw dying for the sake of a plot or for the sake of another’s character development, that wished had never happened too. 

Not mentioning that we can all agree that the idea of seeing family members (such as her pregnant sister, her sister’s husband and the knight) suffering is a reason itself to act... and when it comes to Erudian, I think it’s a combo of “being killed by your own not-born-yet son is tragic” and with the “I wish this character didn’t die because I was actually sad reading it”, not mentioning that, yes, keep Erudian alive is win for her too, because his divine powers are strong enough to heal her situation with manaa.

But the point is: this is really relatable. The ideia that, if present, some of us would/could take some risks, if in her situation, to keep a character that we loved from a novel or tv show alive. 

Even more because, in her situation, all those characters that she liked in her previous life are now real people, living and breathing, with real thoughts and feelings, not anymore something abstract and intangible, not just a step for another character’s grow, but actually people that she knows, talk to, laugh with, cry with and has feelings for. 

I guess we see more of that with her interactions with Erudian rather with the with her family members, after all he is the character with she surely spend more time with, but I really love how, in a very subtle way even, does that connection and how it’s not on our face all the time, but we can relate because of all of that, y’know. 

And I do have a whole appreciation for how Yenni should be just a really small side character, that has not much voice/action on the original novel, but when she reborn inside of it, she chooses to not stay put or not stay silence about all the horrible things that are bond to happen and actually does something because she can, she cares and because nothing else could do it besides her. 

It’s a really clever way of writing a heroin and giving her a powerful position on the plot, without forcing it upon her, without put her as the chosen one or even without making the male lead dragg the heroin along and just force her to go with the flow. 

I do have a whole appreciation for this one more than I can actually express and I know it’s all because of how they have write Yenni to be what she is, even my appreciation for Erudian comes from the fact that Yenni is the one dragging him alone and acting, most of the times, by herself before he could act upon whatever is happening around them. 

Just like the marriage idea came from Yenni and everytime she asks him about marrying her, he always reacts and it’s always her searching for a answer from him and not him questioning her or trying to force it upon her despite being her kidnapper. I love how he tells her at certain point “princess, I didn’t kidnap you to marry me” and I just burst out laugh because he is SO against the idea of marrying her at first. 

Erudian clearly finds Yenni cute and interesting, because she is always doing unexpected things, but he is so not after her, he is so clearly not the type of man that would just flirt with someone all the time and woo woman intentionally, but more even, because he knows she is up to something asking him to marry her so out of blue too. And I just can’t, because he slowly gives in to her, without even wanting to and it’s just so cute.

Hi! If I were to read the novel rn, what chapter of the novel is the mahwa currently on? Since I don't really wanna reread the entire thing lol

Chapter 95 of the manhwa covers up to the very end of chapter 161 in the English translation. So 161 or 162.

[manhwamuneca]

He's cute but........ "What if we do it just once" ****Spoiler*****

Manhwa: Turning (Nah man. Wait 200 chapters for a kiss, and like it)

About donating via Patreon, Ko-fi, etc.

Hi everyone,

This is something that has been on my mind for quite some time so I’m just going to share a few thoughts about Patreon, Ko-fi and other such platforms on which you viewers donate money to us translators, subbers, scanlators or basically anyone who helps you view any content as per your comfort.

Now since money is involved in these donations, every person who is trying to donate money via such platforms should think a few things through.

When should you donate via Patreon, Ko-fi, etc.?

Only when a person is releasing/ publishing/ making available online original content that they have created from scratch. This includes original stories, videos, audios, merchandise or any graphic content that one has developed from their own mind. Not based off of any existing products that can be legally bought. A donor must always check this before they donate. For example, if you or someone thought of a story and either wrote a novel from it or drew a manga of it and shared it with people online, then you can donate to them to show your appreciation for viewing their content.

When should you NOT donate?

When, in general, any translators, subbers, manga/ manhua/ mahwa/ in general comic scanlators have donation links in their websites or pages and they are simply providing English version of these original non-English contents, that is, English translations of novels, manga/ manhwa/ manhua, anime, live-action,  audio drama, etc.

Why you should NOT donate?

The copyrights for anything related to novels, light-novels, anime, donghua, manga/ manhua/ manwha, live-action series, audio drama, merchandise, etc. are with the original creators. So if there is any way you want to show appreciation, you should be purchasing the original content in whatever language it is in from the respective websites where they are sold. Just googling for guide for purchasing from a particular website, e.g. missevan. com, will show you links to many many detailed nice guides for how to purchase stuff from it.

I have seen many translators, subbers and scanlators advertising their donation links (Patreon and Ko-fi) when they translate, sub or scanlate any of the above content. I've also asked around people why they take the money and have gotten the answer- translation is a lot of hard work, so there's no harm in asking for donations as a token of appreciation. Many also answer that we don't force anyone to pay us, so what's the harm? But this way of thinking is wrong, because the basis of this thinking itself is wrong. We simply cannot request for your Ko-fi or Patreon or any other kinds of donations. We simply cannot leech off money from the content that the original creators created and put up for purchasing via different channels. The reason is, it is their copyrighted material and we did not ask for permission from the original creators for sharing this content. Also, if there have been multiple adaptations of the original content, just like MDZS has audio drama, manhua, donghua and live-action, all the creative teams have given money to purchase the original story and adapt it into the different types of media we all can see. And this money rightly goes to the respective original creators in the form of royalty. We still want to share translated or subbed content in English so that more people all over the world could be encouraged to buy the original content after they understand what exactly is in it and that’s why we sub or scanlate series. Even though I scanlate, whenever I see any English publishers licensing any manga story which I like, I make it a point to buy from them. I already have 3 book cupboards packed full of manga I’ve purchased from Viz Media, Yen Press, Kodansha USA, SuBLime, Tokyopop, Dark Horse and Seven Seas. If I can afford, I do buy them still.

If you come across people who say something along the lines “commissions open” only xx members will get to see subbed version of yyy show” or “I translated zzz novel or comic or song, buy me a Ko-fi or become my Patreon” or “I’ll translate or sub this for you, but I’ll need donation”, etc. and you donate/paid to them, then you’ve been duped. Such people and their website are no different than aggregator websites which wrongly leech off of money created by wrong methods. So please be careful not to give your money in such places.

Why make such a fuss by writing about this in detail?

Because, it involves money. Many of you, who are following us and many other translators, subbers and scanlators, might be students who are getting pocket money from their parents and this money is of course hard earned! And so, if you have not been aware of these things before reading this, your money did not go in the right place. Even if you donated US$1, as most of you might already guess, this amount of money is already a substantial amount for many people from developing countries like mine. I could buy at least 3 different food types for a quick brunch with US$1 in my country. And so, this post is just an effort to make you aware to spend money wisely.

[malelead-mylove]

I read so many light novels and mahwas that I don't necessarily have a particular villain in mind. If I had to say recently though (the webtoon/or manhwas i have been consuming), I'd either be a... Demi-God Lord who secretly controls humanity, A very buff and strong dudebro who hates wizards to the point of familial abuse, the Strong Dad/or Brother of a fucked up family or a Goddess stuck in an eternal time-loop destined to destroy the world or be destroyed.

In which case, I'd just try to be nice to people around me and stop my own doom by being far more chill and humane, lmao

Considering that all of them are just, op. Lol. I think I would enjoy my powers though?? Who doesn't like having supernatural powers/strength or influence.

We all know that being transmigrated or reincarnating as a villain is not really rare in isekais. I was asked what I would do if I get transmigrated as the villain of my favourite novel.

Damn.I have no idea what I will do if I become the delusional white fucking radish that wants to become a motherfucking god.

[gillianxypherathy]

haaaaa what should i do? wuwu my head hurts, my heart hrts, my whole body hurts... damn, do i have some kind of illness or something? the headaches are getting frequent too lol i can even laugh at this point since ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gosh so hateful why can’t i just die it already just kidding hahaha i really hope some meds would fckn help me and i’m getting stressed by ttoo much school work and only books like novels and comics(e.g. manhuas, mahwas, and mangas) are my obsession llololollol anyway if yyou keep reading these imma just wanna say you are reading nonsense haha sowwy anyway it was already obbvious from so many errors lol

[kristinegragasin]

How I Use Media?

People nowadays prefer to live a simple life. Communicating is not an exemption. We want the fastest way of communication which is through the use of media. Television, radio, newspaper, magazines, and the internet are examples of media that we use every day. To keep myself updated to current events, I also use these media forms except for the radio for the purpose of obtaining information.

I always watch the television news early in the morning before going to school hoping for class suspension only to hear about the endless drug operations. I also buy newspaper sometimes whenever I didn’t really have the chance to watch the news. I read Readers Digest to feed my mind and the Lifestyle Magazines featuring national and international celebrities. And then the favorite of all millennials, the internet which is also my favorite. The internet is the most accessible of all. Just search, then boom! The information you want will appear in a flash.

I also watch videos on Youtube and read novels on Wattpad and Webnovel. I also read manga on Manga Rock and mahwa on Webtoon. Whenever I’m bored, I search for random images on Google or Pinterest, weird memes on Facebook, and posted artworks on Instagram and Pinterest.

As a student, my school hours is longer compared to my leisure time. As a responsible media user, I always see to it that my usage is not abusive especially when it comes to the internet and my social media accounts. I never used the internet for more than five straight hours in a day. I watch the television for just an hour. I read magazines for like less than an hour and I open my social media accounts just so I could read the private messages and the reminders in our group chat.

Being updated and being able to obtain information in the fastest way possible is one of the advantages of my usage. However, responsible media users aren’t flawless. There are times wherein you lose your time consciousness especially when you’re having fun on what you were reading, listening to, or watching. I think that is the main disadvantage of my usage.

I was never satisfied with one reference alone so I look for other sources before accrediting a certain information. Fake news are all over the internet today so it is better if we have a confirmation first before believing it. We don’t just simply look, read, or listen to media forms. We have to understand the contained information to avoid misunderstanding and misjudgement. A practical media user is always being careful in discerning facts. Cracking the code is an easy step for media literates.

If I am to rate myself as a media practitioner on a scale of one to ten, I think it’s seven. I am fully aware of my own shortcomings in using media. Since it requires some skills and practice, I think I should focus more on decoding the message because I am being “slow” sometimes.

[manhwamuneca]

Man I love Korean novels and Manhwas. New favorite! Hunter's gonna lay low! Above novel art, below Manhwa art.

Highly recommend! Be aware some tears may be shed but also had me cackling.
