Well, I generally look for actual intelligent conversation on topics like this, rather than "lol, i liek this manga(korean webcomic)" and the like (not that I necessarily disagree).

So:

I feel like in a lot of Manhwa (Korean Comics, not Korean Webcomics[I'm specifically not talking about Korean Webcomics, as I haven't encountered the same problem there. In fact it's been a fairly startling level of consistent high quality]) there is a general lack of empathy. It almost comes off as a kind of culture shock, like what I'm reading must be different from what the intended demographic sees. It makes it very difficult to read because generally I look for a certain level of empathy (basic genuine kindness) to connect with characters, and oftentimes I simply don't see any. It genuinely feels like everyone involves is either a complete douchebag or a sociopath, in that they literally feel nothing for other people.

Once again I'm not relegating every manhwa to this category, but has anyone else experienced this?

I've experienced it when I read some Im Dal Young manhwas for like 2 years ago. At that time, i do think all manhwas are pure crap(only garbage compared to mangas).

That's when before I have read Noblesse, ToG, Melo Holic, and other webtoons.

^^ try bounty hounds or blade and soul.

try Dragonica (DGN) online.

(I have a friend who likes granado and dragonica so..)

Nice way of putting it.
I am still looking for another MMO to play. Been on the beta test of Raiderz and i wasnt impressed. Anyone knows of any other MMO out there that is fun?

have you tried Dragon Nest online?

well, hello guys..

I'm not much of an active forumer, i just love to lurk.
and also, i'm just your ordinary person, just reading mangas/manhwas for enjoyment.. not much of a fanatic at all.
Though i play DN online game

(I only read TOG nowadays, since i had stumbled on this site)
