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

    It’s not only you. There’s too much text in Manhua in general. Not saying Manga/Manhwa aren’t guilty of this but I have seen this occur in Manhua more. The MCs don’t stop yapping whatever the fuck about power system and what not. It’s like they don’t understand how to write without having their characters talk in multiple paragraphs. I guess this is why Chinese Novels have thousands of chapters. I have less Manhua in my library compared to other two. I probably read them since I was too bored to find something good

    I’m reading Isekai, Tower-Climbing, Gates etc trashy comics because it’s mindless fun and easy to read not the opposite.

      Yeah I didn’t even mention the word dumps…

      If I wanted to read a novel I’d be on a LN damnit.

      You get tired fast. I use a tablet to read and if I gotta zoom in every other page to read the loredumps that’s annoying.

      Not to mention topic hopping and blasting through content. I’d prefer if they pick an event/topic and flesh it out.

      Instead it’s something like: (my actual recap of this demon cage)

      I’m sick.

      Can’t afford surgery. Only have 30k

      New game to make millions?? Cost 30k. Buy…

      Play. Oh! Body feels good. Use martial arts. Win big. Get strong.

      New person. Make friend. Buy my loot. Good.

      New mission! Succeeded! That was hard. Crazy detective story with crocodile boss. I kicked its ass. (Seriously. Dude goes on a mission and it gets like 3 or 4 panels…)

      Sell loot. Same guy. New mission! Escort. Party with same friend! Ok go! RICH PRINCESS!!

      Etc…
