Some graphic artists, like the legendary Lee Hyun-se, see AI as a path to immortality; others wonder if it’s a threat to their own creativity.

      Assuming 99% of korean webcomics weren’t trash anyway. Maybe even 100% if you don’t like sappy romcoms.

        Korean shounen stuff can be solid, like Solo levelling, The Breaker, God of High School, or Omniscient Reader, but outside of that it gets a bit more iffy.

        IMO the real trash market is China. Every manhua I’ve read from just feels forgettable and soulless.

          For good chinese Manhua, take a look at Ancient Sovereign of Eternity (aka Ultimate of All Ages), possibly the best ever Xianxia/Cultivation story in comic format. Magic (or Demon) Emperor is also great. And Martial Peak is good for the first 2000 or so chapters. Chinese comedy stuff tends to be fairly good as well, like Top Tier Providence.

          Also, Solo Leveling is typical op MC done as cliched as possible, just the art style that’s quite good, although a bit overdone these days. Everybody is trying to copy Redice’s art right now. Koreans have crafted some amazing wuxia manhwas though: Gosu, Legend of the Northern Blade, and Red Storm are examples of amazing completed works in the martial arts murim genre.
