hunter gate is the isekai of korea
plenty of good manwha that isn't braindead solo leveling type clones
reference above list for actually well written stuff
But that hunter gate is the thing that sells well. Orv is slow paced story will take a long time to attract casual anime fans so won't get as big as solo leveling ever. It will be like those seinen animes highly rated but not insanely popular like top shonen.
People who think manwha will ever overtake anime industry are so delusional. No manwha will ever get as big as solo leveling unless it's another power fantasy as good as solo leveling.
Isn't Solo Levelling turbo mid tho? I heard that the entire plot just bends to serve the Mary Sue ass main character aura farming and there's zero meaningful character development
Yes its a shitty generic junk food power fantasy but it's THE power fantasy. It doesn't try not to be a power fantasy, it fully accepts that it has a shitty generic premise but leans into it so much it becomes peak.
