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

  • velox_vulnusEnglish

    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.
