Seems like there was a lot of focus on the RPGverse stuff - I wouldn't say it's an excessive focus just yet, though
(Example pass - they should ideally focus more on the trope and what caused it (e.g. the Samurai Jack example). I'll do web comics separately in a moment.)

Line 4:
The '''Fantastic Tribulation''' is a phenomenon describing a setting which has gone through through a storm of chaos brought about by supernatural forces and beings, such that society is incapable of countering this event through conventional means. This leads to either an [[Urban Fantasy]] or an [[After the End]] scenario turning into a [[Cozy Catastrophe]] - in either case, they involve [[Differently-Powered Individual|people gaining access to magic or some other form of mystical powers]], and learning to use them is crucial to surviving in this new world.
 
The theme of Fantastic Tribulations is a somewhat recent{{when}} trendcommon in Koreanweb-based media, includingparticularly webgaming-themed novelswebcomic and has seen a relative resurgence in [[Korean Webtoons|Korean web novels and webtoons]] - these particular works are often set in an [[RPG Mechanics Verse]] that may or may not be full of dungeons, both of which mayare beoften tied to the civilization-shifting catalyst this trope describes. These and someSome urban fantasy works maythat employ this trope alsoadditionally focus on what new adversities arise in these conditions from not just this new status quo, but [[Who Watches the Watchmen?|the people seen as its protectors]].
 
Contrast [[The Magic Comes Back]]. See also [[War in Heaven]], which may precipitate this trope.
