Separation of actual historical tag and “western themed fictional setting not on earth”

[JamesBunny]

Title says it all. Idk what you would call it, western setting…?

I know that adding alot of tags reduces their value, novelupdates is a good example of too many, but I feel like there’s a ton of works that would justify being put under that instead of “historical“ (looking at you every single Korean manga ever).

ideally historical tag will only take place in works based on... historical time periods or events and the other tag will be used for fictional settings not on earth.


I made this post because I am so tired of looking through the 100th medivial fantasy manga about a reborn protagonist vowing to get revenge when I just want something related to the past on earth

A lot of tags is actually useful! The more you have the more value they have when searching for titles.
MangaDex is lacking compared to what I'm used to.
But that is only as long as they are placed appropriately and what you are saying is justified.

"classical fantasy" or maybe "themed fantasy" to feel more broad. but yeah i can understand your issues

Excluding Isekai or Reincarnation tags, or maybe Fantasy as well, does reduce most (I reckon 90% but don't quote me on this) of those fictional/fantasy historically themed works you mentioned. But yeah, would be nice to separate theme

I could, but sometimes reincarnation tag falls under what I’m talking about (reborn in the past), and ofc not excluding it leaves thousands of copy paste “reborn as empress in fantasy land“

for isekai ig that works but doesn’t solve the issue yeah
