So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.
Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out…
Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.
I realized it was a manhua.
I don’t know why but there’s always so much happening so fast it’s hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.
What are your thoughts?
Other manhua I’ve dropped:
-
Versatile Mage
-
My Wife is a Demon Queen
-
Monster Pet Evolution
If you liker bastard, give Swet Home a go, it’s from the same author and the vibe has a similar-ish eerines.
Also,as a general recommendation that I’m reading and enjoying right now:
Black knight: kinda decent vibe to it. I reincarnated as a legendary surgeon: yes, I know, isekai bs, but the story progresses in an organic way for now and the MC is likeable. The return of the crazy demon: it might not be up your alley but the entire pretext is that the MC is actually kinda crazy so I do enjoy binging 5-6 chapters from time to time.
I’ve read both Sweet Home and Shotgun Boy. It wasn’t as fun as Bastard. But it was a nice read.
Honestly, I want to read something that gives me the joy and fear of unknown. For example, when I talk about fantasy, I want to enjoy an unknown world that I might be somewhat familiar with. I will gladly accept the good and bad side of a world, as long as it is neither glorified or vilified. I want a main character that does not deviate from their moral responsibility. I don’t want to read cartoon-ish heroism or villainy. I want a world that isn’t black and white, where the conflict between two groups is complex.
I don’t want a fantasy that bends to fan service. I despise evil stuff, but if such things exists in this fantasy, I expect societal problems to affect the main character as well. I don’t want to read the story of the hypocrite power-fantasy MC who has a twisted sense of justice normalized by the mangaka. Honestly, I don’t find comics to be fun anymore. Maybe there’s a small subset of books out there out there that is for me. One reason why I like comics like AiRen and Shakugun no Shana is because it has this concept of “joy” in “despair”. Too bad I won’t be able to read SnS because apparently, they never translated the book to English.
