I heard there's anti-Japanese sentiment in the original Solo Leveling and in a lot of manhwa. I understand why a lot of Koreans resent Japan, but I find it strange that they're expressing resentment in a literal rip-off of Japanese anime/manga, it comes across poorly to me. Manga was already a rip-off of comics and cartoons but at least they worked to make it their own style. I don't know, I'm ignorant about manhwa, but I wish I saw some that would at least try more unique art styles instead of generic anime look. Maybe it'll evolve with time, but I doubt it.

Are generic Korean manhwa protagonists any better? I haven't read any. How are they different?
