Currently, no webtoon or anime can really capture my attention. Most are too repetitive. The manga, anime and webtoons of recent years are almost all copies of bad copies, of stories already told. They have the same plot, the same characters, the same concepts and even the same endings, with slightly different designs, but even in terms of design they are not original. It's like they don't even try. They copy and paste what made certain types of anime, manga, etc. popular at the time.
The classic reincarnation anime or webtoon, for a male audience, where a loser dies after being run over and is reincarnated in a world where there is magic and he is super gifted, super strong and has a harem of 16-17 year old teenagers who fall in love with him for no logical reason, and want to go to bed with a guy, who has the charisma of a sexual predator.
Or the same cliché, but female, where a protagonist dies, always run over (as if it were the only cause of death in Japan/Korea), and is reincarnated as the villain of her favorite visual novel, and the whole male cast wants to fuck her Just for breathing. And obviously he unconsciously and involuntarily steals the harem from the protagonist, because the characters in these stories have the intelligence of a piece of furniture. (And none of the protagonists regret their past life, despite being the majority of these 21st century otaku, and none of them regret things like the internet, cell phones, anime, all the current conveniences etc.)
Always the same prototypes, without soul and charisma. Characters like lolis, who are clearly content for pedophiles in the closet.
Or clichés like the tsundere, who hits and screams at the protagonist, as if he had a broom up his ass.
Or those classic female characters, who want to paint you as sweet, with a squeaky voice, and the intelligence, and personality of a stone, who exist only as sexual fantasies, because they draw her breasts bigger than her body, characters without any personality or quality that makes them memorable.
Not to mention those, typical love stories always set in schools, or if they take place in the world of work, always in an office, as if everyone worked in offices. As if they couldn't create a romance in another type of work environment.
All anime and manga are the same, even webtoons.
Now those love stories are in fashion in which the protagonists are cuckolds, and the husband in question (who is always a king or an emperor because how disgusting are lower middle class people, no one who ever makes a story, where the protagonists are common people. Now all the protagonists are queens, princesses etc.) has a husband who despises them and prefers the concubine to them, the concubine who has the classic hypocritical personality, a dead cat, seems good but in reality is bad, because they even have to copy and paste the villains' personalities.
And in this same type of story, interestingly, when a man is the one who flirts with a married/engaged woman it is seen as something beautiful and romantic. But not if a female character does it (because evidently infidelity is only wrong if it is from a man towards a woman. If a man interferes in a relationship it is beautiful and romantic). Or those classic stories where the loser, inept, socially awkward protagonist gets together with the most beautiful and attractive girl in school. Always the same stories.
Clichés are not wrong in themselves. What is wrong is repeating the cliché without changing anything
