I feel that the advent of mobile gacha games have negatively impacted the animanga RP scene. Mind, there are some positives too, such as providing a wealth of aesthetically-pleasing and permission-free faceclaims in the form of their official art. But on the negative side of things, I feel that the storytelling of these games have influenced RP storytelling as well and not in a good way.
I don't know if I'm just overanalysing, or if this is even an official trope, but Gacha Game Subplot Syndrome is real on the sites I used to play on. This is referring to the tendency for gacha games to have character subplots whose stakes are on an equally large/grand scale as the main plot, if not sometimes more so.
Which goes against the more "traditional" (at least in the shonen action adventure sense) animanga narrative where character subplots tend to involve more personal scale stakes for the character, while the large scale stakes take place within the main plot.
