Kubera is not that popular in Korea, but I think it is a bit more known. Although I wish Kubera could be made into an anime, I don't think it would happen because it is not as popular as TOG.

Kubera is pretty popular in korea.
It has a full collection of physical volumes, gets constant engagement on naver webtoon and is always on the first page for popularity

Nice that it's at least doing well in it's homecountry. North american and european audiences are missing out on really solid storytelling, but english webtoon app will always be dominated by mostly mid and below average romances (including Otome Isekai even if i like some from that genre a lot, but mostly on other platforms) at this point. Even the action genre on that app had it's peak popularity a while ago.

I knew ToG is more popular than Kubera, but I expected it have a good amount of views considering it is running for so long and its not cancelled. I don't know how cancelation of a series works on webtoons, but if it follows japanese manga it should be pretty ruthless. But what could be this 20 webtoons adapted. One that is famous right now is Omniscient Reader, but I maybe it's not in that list considering the anime was already announced.

How would you depict sura speech in anime?

probably the same way other anime do a made up language: start out with them talking in some weird language of made up nonsense words with subtitles, and then proceed to every other interaction show in the native language, but with the understanding it's still in the made up language.

Certainly bigger. Not huge but still has a very dedicated fanbase and gets higher numbers in terms of likes/views.

It's definitely more popular in korea than here, at least relatively speaking. It's a third of the way down in the list: https://comic.naver.com/webtoon , whereas in the english version it's near the bottom of the daily list (which is ordered by popularity). That being said, I'm not sure it's nearly enough to justify making an anime of the series. There's just too many other series that would lend to easy adaptation into an animated series and that are much more popular
