Discussion I feel like a lot of manhwa readers aren't ready for morally gray stories

• Upvotes

​

I love morally gray stories, especially the ones that leave you feeling bitter after a chapter. Maybe a character got a fate they didn't deserve, maybe someone got away with something terrible, or maybe nothing worked out the way you wanted. Sometimes, though, that's exactly what makes more sense for the story.

I've noticed that a lot of manhwa readers (not everyone though) seem to have very specific expectations when they start reading something. When a story goes against those expectations, they criticize it harshly without even giving it a chance, simply because something makes them uncomfortable.

Not every author wants to please their audience. Sometimes, a story is meant to make you angry, disappointed, or uncomfortable. Not every character needs to learn their lesson, face the consequences they deserve, or get a redemption arc. Real people don't always do those things, so why should fiction be obligated to?

Of course, criticizing writing is perfectly valid!!! But there's a difference between pointing out flaws and deciding a story is bad simply because it doesn't follow the narrative or moral direction you wanted.

I'm curious to know if I'm one of the only ones who thinks this way; I understand that some stories are really bad too, okay? I mean more about stories that are really well-written, but people don't even give them a chance because of something.

However, it's important to point out that if you have well-defined limits on what you read, that's perfectly fine too!!

I definitely recommend this webtoon! It came out in May '26 and is still updating. I'm really digging it so far. To me, it feels like a new and fresh story and theme. I'm enjoying the different art style too. All in all, 5 stars & 2 thumbs up!

Title: Code <grace>

Creators: Midoryka, Violet Matter

Platform: Webtoons App/Site

Summary:

Grace Shaw has big plans and no time for inter-personal relationships. Until a cheeky VR game hacks its way into her holotech hair-clip. If she fixes the glitchy code, it’s hers to keep. The only catch? She needs a Player Two. And while she’s playing to win, Levin is playing for keeps. What starts as a shortcut to success spirals into a messy, mysterious drama that rakes up her past and shakes loose every doubt and dream. Finishing the game means untangling her own inner code, but Levin might be the system error she never saw coming.

Advice/Critique/Help Can someone explain this? Coin issues.

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

So i decided to try and buy some coins, and got denied. I had some free time so decided to try to math it out…

So i tried to buy ‘39.99cad’ worth of coins, as shown in the first pic.

It then went to confirm the amount(oh look, its has ‘us’ in the amount…i’m sure its nothing) as shown in the second pic.

And in the third pic is the credit card company denying the ‘67.17cad’ charge.

I understand the apple app store has a 30% charge, but that still only raises it to ~52$. The best way i could get the charge to line up was to consider the original charge as usd then converted into cad then 30%ed…but surely that would be false marketing then?

Can anyone tell me what am i missing, or is webtoons just lying to me…

Advice/Critique/Help WEBTOON Ads Inflating My iPhone Screen Time?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced this on iOS?
I suspect WEBTOON's ads are causing imasdk.googleapis.com to accumulate Screen Time. Every time I open an episode, an ad appears. I close the episode to make the ad disappear, but the domain still seems to count the time.

Here’s what I noticed:

WEBTOON — 1h 45m;
imasdk.googleapis.com — 1h 45m.

WEBTOON — 3h 13m;
imasdk.googleapis.com — 3h 23m.

I also noticed that closing the episode doesn't stop the domain's time from accumulating. It seems to be contributing to my actual daily Screen Time total.
Could this be related to WEBTOON's ad SDK, or is iOS misattributing the activity?
Has anyone found a way to fix this without uninstalling WEBTOON or disabling Screen Time?
I've attached screenshots of both days.

Question Is this logo offensive?

Thumbnail
gallery
229 Upvotes

Hi guys! When I was designing the logo, I sincerely didn't know about this symbol and it was honestly just a coincidence that the symbol in the logo and the intersex* symbol are the same!

In the comic, I touch on many queer situations, mental health and disabilities, however, none of it is related to intersex people experiences, and now I'm worried that I've been unknowingly making fun of it or being offensive by having made my logo this way :(

Do you think it's wiser to change the logo? Aw man, I'm just so disappointed in myself, I'm really sorry

////Edit* Someone here informed me that the term intersex is better than hermaphrodite, so I changed the terms! Sorry for my ignorance! (⁠˘⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠˘⁠)
