I like how much you care.
If you're down to watching anime together sometime (through our own tvs, but we text over discord or something), then I'd love to see what you think of Death Parade.
ah that's very kind of you ^^ one of my biggest obsessions in life is overthinking about indulgent trash or art people seem to not care as much about haha. i can add you on discord maybe? send me a pm with your handle!
Unfortunately, it wasn't like this in the novel. The MC isn't as stupid and he was trying to get stronger by himself. And the whole thing where he goes to save his friend happens before he goes to his own kingdom, and the confrontation with the yandere grand duke was not as stupid as shown here. And once he meets his own grand duke the guy rightfully chews him out for putting himself at risk to which the MC agrees with and stops doing. And the grand duke is not that rapey in the novel!! It's R15 so they don't really do it either like it's shown here.
these are some super weird changes to make in a webtoon smh >__> it feels like the artist and original author weren't working together at all or something.
I'm not surprised though it does feel even while reading this that there is an "actual" story here that is being skipped over or neglected as you read it, it feels like someone is summarizing events you are supposed to know already happened or something... whoever is making the storyboards really isn't good at their job, shame cause the art is nice and the story had potential :(
Then, do you think it's worth reading through the mtl?
Sry, it's for personal reference. I prefer sticking to one version (novel or manwha in this case) rather than going thru both
I think reading the novel is worth it. I mean it's mtl so you might miss some details or not understand everything, but I still think it's better than the manhwa since they've changed it so much. And if you want to start reading the novel then begin from ch 1 since they literally skipped out on an entire arc in the beginning. And you can always change to read the manwha if you don't understand the mtl, but for me the mtl is pretty good in this novel.
Gotcha, thanks!!!
Real for this, the manwha literally skips 1 whole volume and it was the introduction arc.
bruh the plot is so paper thin it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
1) he goes to the "Domination" kingdom to save his friend, with a time limit. As a king, who is A WEAK SPECIES. But BY HIMSELF. ???
2) he goes there finds his friend and the weird yandere grand duke, gives a speech that annoys the grand duke and makes him attack, so not very persuasive either..
3) TURNS OUT THE KING FIGURED OUT HOW TO AVOID THE GRAND DUKE'S MANIPULATION SKILLS ALL ALONG BY *checks notes* DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT JUST TRUST US THAT IT HAPPENED WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING LIKE THOUGHT TO BE PUT INTO THIS STORY???
4) TURNS OUT HIM BEING THERE WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY HE WAS ONLY THERE AS THE VIEWER'S POV TO MOVE ON THE PLOT WHY IS HE SO USELESS HELP ME
5) Random extra grandduke shows up out of nowhere without a proper introduction
and uuuuh gives a hickey to the mc that he doesn't notice???? Like... IT'S A HICKEY NOT LIPSTICK STAIN BRUH WTF HOW DID HE NOT NOTICE???
Like aesthetically the story has such drama potential but it's so thoughtlessly written, it's like 95% of the people who churn out isekai webtoons just don't give a shit about making a coherent, good story, they just care about aesthetics
