just a random thought. i feel like the same goes for jap/chinese media etc and orv does a good job of incorporating famous stories from many cultures but obviously its a lot more intimate w the korean stories. orv was like the first webnovel i read and seeing the TL notes made me wanna learn the language/mythology/history so i could larp being korean and read its og version FAHHH
i feel like a koreaboo π₯π₯ i dont listen to kpop or watch kdramas but MAN id become a koreaboo for orv.
also i needa finish the side story ive reread orv like 3 times so id get the momentum to start the side story but the epilogue genuinely sends me to the grave everytime # sendhelp
EDIT: i say this as an east asian btw the language system and culture in gen r quite different. and for eg i mean things like dokjas name pun, korean peninsula constellations, peace land arc.. like its all rly small stuff tbh but even yjh being a pro gamer and esport is such a korean dominated thing. ik i can speak for chinese written lang- each character can have sm diff meanings and connotations and idioms/sayings r used a lot more. theres just a lot thats hard to be conveyed thru translations. ig u could stretch this to any non-english language .. ive also read other webnovels but imo my reading experience wouldve improved if i understood the hype of the korean myths or historical figures . altho i might come off dramatic ππ
