Sci-Fi (542)

Imagined technological advancements or natural settings which are currently unreal in the present day but could be invented, caused, or explained by science in the future. The narrative of science fiction (Sci-Fi or SF) stories focuses on the societal or individual reprecussions caused by the imagined technology or natural phenomenon, and are frequently dystopian in nature. Sufficient world-building is required for a work to be Sci-Fi; an alien simply visiting from outer space and living on Earth with unusual powers would be Supernatural. Characters in Sci-Fi stories can have unnatural powers without a Fantasy/Supernatural tag, but there should be a plausible scientific reason for these powers described by the creator. A futuristic setting with impossible, unexplained powers (e.g. humans randomly evolved to control the weather via thought) would be Fantasy.

Diotima

Kwon, Gyo-jung 2024
This manhwa deals with lives of a captain and her crew on a space vessel named "Diotima".
Diotima is set in 2092, far in the future. This manhwa is considered sci-fi for that. However, the manhwa's plot is "life". In other words, this is one of very few life manhwa. The episodes involve lives of captain Namer Joon and her crew onboard the space vessel, Diotima.
The plot goes a little further and tries to convey conflicts between Earthians and Moon settlers.
There are clearly some mysteries about Namer Joon, Diotima, and its creators.
