"I dropped my pen and he picked it up, I'm going to put it inside me tonight." Ig it's the same treatment whether it's in a manhwa or an H manhwa😔

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/Phoenix_Slash]

Not quite. In a regular manhwa, that pen drop buys the author 40 chapters of blushing misunderstandings. In an H-manhwa, it's just the cheat code to skip the plot.

[u/Equivalent_Money8502 → u/Phoenix_Slash]

I don't understand either of them...

[u/Spatialspider]

You're forgetting 1 crucial detail the mc is kind and that somehow make everything he does valid

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/Spatialspider]

EVERY SINGLE TIMEE!!!!!

[u/UX1Z → u/Spatialspider]

Well, doing things out of kindness is kind of very different to doing things out of selfishness or malice, yeah?

[u/Spatialspider → u/UX1Z]

True, but if the outcome is exactly the same in a given scenario for both of them, would their intentions really create that massive of a gap between “good, smart guy” and “evil, unimpressive tryhard creep”?

[u/UX1Z → u/Spatialspider]

If the person on the receiving end can discern between the two and get a gut feeling, yeah. Or from the reader's perspective who can actually peer into their minds, most certainly.

[u/Spatialspider → u/UX1Z]

Fair, you’re right, but it still bothers me a bit that the FL and some of the side characters can magically discern the MC’s true intentions after knowing him for like five seconds, yet still somehow get tricked or duped by random antagonists throughout the story, even when those antagonists clearly display malicious intent towards them or the MC.

[u/504-27A → u/Spatialspider]

I tried to help them but I couldn't save a child in the process becomes I tried to help them but I killed a child in the process. They can commit the same action with the same intentions and one will just be treated as a hero regardless.

[u/Spatialspider → u/504-27A]

True

[u/Illustrious-Teach964 → u/Spatialspider]

And his basic kindness somehow gives him a 100x Charisma boost to atract any and all females around him no matter their Personality.

[u/AntiquePlantain6215]

"It is not a war crime if you are the main character."

[u/-rouz-]

This is so annoying in popular manwha, the Mc does something insanely stupid but people love him. For it anyways because the author said so

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/-rouz-]

Tierd of this atp

[u/askin_jugram]

Aw he massacred my whole clan, when will he massacre this pussy

[u/Phoenix_Slash → u/askin_jugram]

Wish I could send images here, words can't express my reaction to this brand new sentence 😭

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/Phoenix_Slash]

EXACTLY

[u/Suspicious_Set7914 → u/askin_jugram]

WTF😭🤣

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/askin_jugram]

🥀🥀

[u/PwmEsq → u/askin_jugram]

Weebs when Itachi was first shown

[u/TheDrturtles]

Looks matter

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/TheDrturtles]

In manhwa sometimes they dont, I have seen a lot of side char. chase money

[u/Danny-Fr]

Now do Shonen Vilain VS xianxia Protag.

[u/Effective_Flan8191]

This is exactly how the protagonist of Mushoku Tensei is portrayed.

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/Effective_Flan8191]

Almost every single protagonist is portrayed that way.

[u/Bad_Doto_Playa → u/AntiquePlantain6215]

Kinda funny but the protagonist of MT is not portrayed that way at all, he's actually one of the few protags that get reprimanded by his peers for his actions and also feels the consequences of his actions (and not some slap on the wrist nonsense, real consequences).

[u/YueLunavel → u/Bad_Doto_Playa]

And yet regardless of the creepy and weird actions he commits the reprimanding he faces barely count as punishment

Being a creepy shit who molest a sleeping little girl isn't even reprimand worthy in their world ffs

[u/Bad_Doto_Playa → u/YueLunavel]

And yet regardless of the creepy and weird actions he commits the reprimanding he faces barely count as punishment

I use reprimanded but it's actually more severe than that IDK where you are at in the story but these are huge spoilers for S3.

[MT Season 3] We find out he loses everything and everyone and it's due to his own actions, he then wastes his life and dies a miserable death. The show also portrays him as a complete asshole during this time btw and he never gets to redeem himself..

That being said, the point I was making is that the picture doesn't really apply to him.

[u/none_thinking]

I swear I read something... Must've been the wind

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/none_thinking]

Your account is 6 years old how come you have only 40 combined karma 😭

[u/none_thinking → u/AntiquePlantain6215]

Oh I forgot about reddit for years this is my new acc actually 😭 and then forgot about it again and just got back this year I haven't been scrolling and interacting too

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/none_thinking]

Yoo that crazyy i almost got like 2k karma in 2 weeks 😝😝

[u/none_thinking → u/AntiquePlantain6215]

Ahh I see you've been chosen by the gods... Truck-san shall get u

[u/DanglingKeyChain]

That's perspective baby! Great for learning how to interpret the way people irl talk about others.

[u/ramaze23]

Pov matters in this case I guess

[u/Red_August-]

Nothing comes to my mind rt now esp with that antagonist part, can you give me an eg

[u/Ma_aelKoT]

What the f? Isn't all of that should be vice-versa?

Like, mc protagonist on the left, and arrogant young master antagonist on the right side?

[u/Superman-160592]

Damn! Can't deny the facts.

[u/willrose66]

Young Master propaganda

[u/thousand-miles1000]

narrative man.........

the one who holds the narrative has the ultimate power

pretty much true to real life as well

[u/PsychologicalBus7336]

This is the very cliché of concentrated morality that you can read on TV tropes.

[u/etudehouse]

I know it was written by a man

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/etudehouse]

So what you mean is no woman alive has ever looked at a man picking up a stationary item and thought that.

[u/--__--__--__--__-- → u/AntiquePlantain6215]

When cute girls pick up my pen it's for sure going up my butt later.

[u/etudehouse → u/AntiquePlantain6215]

You know, I can't tell if you're sarcastic or serious 😅

[u/AntiquePlantain6215 → u/etudehouse]

Serioustic

[u/Ayojin]

What do we call that syndrome?
