What's that storyline you have an urge to read but can't find?

[Enthriex]

Yess I can imagine there may be many stories but there's nothing like personally recommended ones ;D I think the not finding many anti heroes would be in anime perhaps. Gotta admit I haven't actively looked for comics with this theme, I might try to at some point cause I really do like them haha

[Enthriex]

And yess hope I can! Though tbh it was more of an example so others can share more than asking for recommendations haha. I don't expect people to find my specific interests So I'm good with everyone sharing their frustrations

[JaveCraze]

Oh I was talking about shows, but I know a few manga with anti heroes but not webcomics

[Enthriex]

Ohh if you do please do say! Mangas or even novels are fine by me as long as they're good

[TheLemmaLlama]

Hm, I've talked about specific scenes I want to see but have trouble finding, but as for entire storylines:

• a slice-of-life set in a fully fleshed-out fantasy world with super in-depth worldbuilding that doesn't feel 'gamey' and the characters' daily lives feel truly foreign from our own, but there also aren't any high stakes plots so we can relax and really soak in the details of this world
• a story where the issues the characters face are caused by someone being too selfless
• (EDIT: oh, oh, one more thing! 'Scientific method fiction' A story where the characters try to figure out how the fantasy world they live in works, using controlled experiments and constructing rigourous models, but the audience follows this development from ground up and so is perfectly capable of understanding all the jargon and everything I didn't think to list this seperately because I'm combining this with #1 on this list (the slice-of-life) in a project I'm planning, but it could totally be separate :P)

Hmm can you elaborate on the selfless causing issues? Is it like an innocent character causing disgraces because of not thinking things through for example? :0

[JaveCraze]

Fire Punch has some weird themes and such, but if you can get past it it has an anti hero protagonist
That's the most recent one I've read.. My MC's gonna be an anti hero I think because I like stories like that, but angled more on the good side than any bad side, I guess.

[JaveCraze]

I really like the second one, people don't realize that being too selfless is also an problem

[Enthriex]

Yesss, it sounds really interesting, the selfless one! Thus why I'd want more details because I'm sure I've read those types tbh though I can't remember right now XD

[Enthriex]

Ohh thanks for the rec! I'll check it out

[TheLemmaLlama]

I was thinking more like, someone wants to help someone else/fix a problem they see, but they want to take ALL the responsibility for fixing it and refuses to burden other people with the issue, so they do it all by themselves and screw up because ... yeah, I guess they didn't think things through because they're only one person so they'll inevitably miss some things even if they're not particularly innocent or naive

[Enthriex]

Ahhhh I've seen that but like in character's behavior in animes for example of the character being kind but screwing everything over and over, but gee as for storylines that have that as a main theme... yeah, at least I don't remember if I have seen any right now :0 If I ever do I'll be sure to tell you B)

[TheLemmaLlama]

Oh, I'm interested in places where it's not the main focus as well! (If it doesn't take too much effort for you to dig up ofc XD)

[Enthriex]

Well the protagonist in cells at work is always trying to do her work but always ends up apologizing because she gets lost and such failures to do her work hahah

In My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Not really trying to take responsibility and failing but she thinks she screwed up important moments and such and ends up apologizing, hmm...

In Keroro Gunsou there's this pair in which the girl always apologizes for his brother being useless constantly

That's the most I can come up with right now XD But if I remember more I'll tell you, my brain just started to come up with characters that just apologize xD

[TheLemmaLlama]

Ah, I guess I was more thinking about people who cause problems because they're trying to take extra responsibility (so for instance, does the protagonists in Cells at Work get lost and fails at stuff because she insists on taking on more than she has to?)

(Or if their apologies cause more problems in and of themselves, I guess that also counts :P)

Thanks anyway

[Enthriex]

Ahhh I see! Hmm, the protagonist causes problems just doing her work cause she is new so I guess that doesn't apply to what you're looking for.

If I do run into a story like what you're looking for, I'll be sure to tell you though

[CCaps]

I'm eagerly looking for a storyline rooted firmly in real-world social justice. I would love to have a crusader emerge and fight for the oppressed. The real-world social justice I want to see should be on the lines of oppression as mentioned by Isabel Wilkerson in her book, Caste. It would be wonderful to either have Baba Saheb Ambedkar's life in comics or have a fictionalized version of Baba Saheb Ambedkar born in present times crusading and championing the fight against caste system.

You have GOT to read The Firelight Isle. I think it might be exactly what you're looking for.

Read The Firelight Isle | Tapas Web Comics

Haha I checked it out after you mentioned the creator got it printed it on a scroll A bit more plot-focused than what I had in mind in this thread, but I did enjoy it a lot - the worldbuilding was definitely up my alley

[XiuLyn_12]

I lowkey need more comic with strong and dominant female lead. Most female MC I came across are soft and obedient(?) towards the male MC I guess?
I don't hate it though, haha.
