Just like the title, I have a problem about picking a perfect setting, While I may be good at making fantasy worlds, my mind often goes to a certain point where Shit lets loose and the world goes downhill.
So I tried limiting that and decided to go into a more Modern world Fantasy, Fiction, Whatever... but there's this problem, Political and social problems.
I mean, if we're going about in this way, Korea and Japan are technologically advanced and Economically successful nations (Apart from their Ever-so increasing Debt), and their infrastructure is also great, thus creating good settings, but In my country, where webnovels and Webcomics aren't much successful, along with that is our Shitty economy, Technologically Inept gadgets, and shitty crumbling Infrastructure, the Setting sucks.
Adding to that is the 'Antagonist', which obviously needs to be guys from different countries, I mean, I don't have the balls enough to make references to certain Foreign Political leaders, unlike Korea and their Infamous Modern-day Manhwa's which basically undermines other countries and showing theirselves in a good light, though at a certain limit, (It is also successful because most of their readers are Korean, since Webnovels are very popular in Korea, The same goes with Japan and their Light novels, their readers are mostly local, thus making them successful, unlike my country)
So, repeating the question, how can I make a modern-day setting successful, with a good reader base (Maybe even International)? and without... discriminating and Undermining one's country?... (I mean, I can make them antagonists, but I don't want them to be too salty or something, I dunno know?)
(If you want to know my Country, Here's a hint, Our president declared an All-out war against Drugs.)
