When I read a korean webtoon, I've felt that on average the plot, characters, motivations and planning feel underdeveloped, less thought out; shallow. The artwork feels wanting. It's like I'm gazing at a genre stuck in the formative 70s. I don't know how else to describe it.

A lot of the popular korean stuff I've read gives me the same feeling as Bleach. Like, stuff is happening but I don't care about any of the characters or plot and there's so much blank space.

For some reason I very specifically can't get into any of those "gates open up on earth, people form video game guilds for some reason" series.

yeah, I've tried a bunch of them and can't think of one I'd recommend.

it feels heavily influenced by alien/gygax rather than the generic DnD enemies

I know you meant giger but it's funny because gygax is the creator d&d

I always assumed that korean escapist power fantasies are a reaction to how absurdly neo-confucian korean society is, and that korean guys are bitter about wasting part of their youth on military service that didn't actually let them do anything cool.
