| So I have always wondered why is there not an MAL entry for The Beginning After the End. Now that we have an anime adaptation coming out for it next year, I wanna know even more. Shouldn't it be added in the database? Or is there a specific reason for it to not be in the MAL database? |
Ace_2020 said: So I have always wondered why is there not an MAL entry for The Beginning After the End. Basically, MAL doesn't allow works outside of Japan, Korea and China. They don't allow WebNovels too, anyway. You can find all rules there : https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=515955 Ruthless_Lord said: But The beginning after the end is manhwa. MAL does allow Manhwas (Korean comics - https://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php?type=manhwa), but The Beginning After The End is not one, it's an OEL (Original English Language; American comics). |

| All right I see. I was under the impression that it is a Manhwa, didn't know it was actually originally in English. That clears it up |
| No web novel ever gets added on MAL, not even Japanese ones. |

Hussar1 said: Well autor of tbate is korean. If i remember correctly, there was something going on about his nationality, which he officially changed multiple times. Even if he officially is now, the WebNovel was officially published as an English-native work, anyway. Hussar1 said: but there’s also LN That's not a Light Novel (Japanese label for short Novels), but a WebNovel (online published Novels), which are not allowed in MAL's database. Hussar1 said: why woul they reject it when solo leveling got added Solo Leveling's Novel was added only after it received a physical publication in Korea (and a few years of pending), officially making it a (classic) Novel, which are allowed on MAL. Its entry represent the physical Novel, and not the WebNovel. |

Inazuma127 said: Indeed Beginning after the end is originally a web novel, but now there is the manhwa so we could add it as this logically. As i already mentioned in this thread, The Beginning After The End is not a Manhwa (Korean comics), but an OEL (American comics). So it won't be added to the database, and doesn't impact the submission of other works in the franchise. As for the WebNovel, no matter what, it won't be added, as this type of work is not accepted in the database; there is not enough professional involvement for it. |
