Gaming hwaman

Gaming hwaman, referred to in Sandea as video game hwaman (비디오 게임 화만), is a genre of hwaman where video games, video game culture, or competitive gaming are essential to a story's plot.

As real-life gaming technology advanced and online esports streaming became popular, the genre achieved mainstream popularity in the very early 2010s, not long after aenimo and hwaman's perceived increase in international popularity.
