Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)

I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.

Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.

I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.

By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.

One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.

People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.

I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr

Ok. Ok. Little background on this for those that aren't Brazilian/don't speak pt: the imperative of Focus is 'Foca', which just so happens to be the same word for seal.

So there's a bunch of these official govt psa's about 'focus on [important thing]' that are just. Like this. Because of that pun

^ specifically traffic safety ones. I saw this guy while taking my traffic knowledge test lol

i am curious about why this is such a universally pro-bhelen website. i mean i’m right there with you i love that freak but i’m surprised it’s such an unquestioned take, especially when i don’t think the main pro-bhelen talking points online or the consequences you will get in the epilogue slides for selecting either ruler are actually very well spelled-out in game for the new player

Fortune Teller Shen Yuan

Isekaied or transmigrated as random npc Shen Yuan who ends up working as a traveling fortune teller in the years building up to Luo Bingges rise to power

It probably started as coming across a normal fortune teller telling some girls supposed fortune and Shen Yuan recognising a thing she's wearing pared with her name and going, out loud; "No that's not it" and then being angrily asked what he means.

His "prediction" somehow included things he really should not know, like the existence of an uncle of hers and his very secret job, but ended with a supposed husband of the "most handsome in the world" type, which really just further semented him as a proffesional. However, together with the other things, the still young girl took it to heart, completely dismissing the previous guys predicted "rich but unfourtunate"

However, he quickly gains a reputation for Always adding that last bit, although he only does so to 40 percent of the women who asks, and is miffed whenever it's pointed out.

"But, really, how can both I and my friend marry the most handsome in the world? And besides, youve got a reputation, which other than for this is really good! But you can't expect any of us to truly believe in this "husband" at this point!" Huffed one upright cultivator.

"Well it's not My fault the guy marries every women he ever meets!"

"..."

Of course, occasionally he comes across people who are mad because he Doesn't predict the husband for them.

He looks at the younger sister of wife number 143, of the "revenging my dead sister" plot. He takes in a deep breath, things for a moment, and starts writing down everything he remembers about it. "You might", he says. "But it will be up to you, not to fate."
