English speakers gone wild

[Hauberk1800]

Do people of other languages but also know English ever look at the English comments to like watch reality TV?

I just tried to go to a comment on a chapter to find it locked cause people were acting out. It was both amusing and also very telling given the chapter in question.

Man, a bunch of English speakers watch some chapters' comments like a comedy-drama. Good fun, if you can keep from getting ragebaited.

If you only read popular stuff, then yeah you can try and have some fun reading the english comment sections. Otherwise most stuff has barely any commenters.

How are we qualifying popular? I wonder if the manga I have in mind qualifies or not

47K bookmarks tells that this is a popular title. About why a chapter becomes locked, from a series with "cheated" in the title + romcom + shounen + adaptation... is there anything I'm forgetting @Angry_Panda ?

From what I'm seeing, I'd say more than 20 comments per chapter is already a popular manga (more so when they're right after the chapter gets posted). If you want to see some brawl in the comment sections, I think at the 30 comments cap it's already very possible.
Of course I'm only mentioning popularity regarding the comments on this platform, because that's what your first message was about.

Now, for very popular, I'd say more than 40 comments right after the chapter is posted is quite popular. Anything with these numbers and above is what's trending.

You can see the weekly top ten (=>"popular new titles" on the front page) corroborates what I'm saying. I'm not mentioning below the 20 comments mark, although 10-15 regular chapter comments also means the manga is quite popular; it's just that an argument rarely has time to develop in that range.

No, I think that covers it.

These days with instant online translation, I have seen people who talk completely different languages have full on converstions between each other.

Hmm, ok

Hmmm,

Ok so by that standard When I (M) become me (F) would qualify as popular with 20k bookmarks but has consistently 20 or more comments each chapter.

There is likely a correlation between popularity, the manga in question and the comments section for sure. I myself am not immune to raging in comment sections. Maybe not even popularity, but maybe engagement and content, though the point of popularity means there are so many people reading, bookmarking, that you can get enough to actually comment and then react to things

I didn't even consider this but that makes perfect sense!
