Yes, I understand that now, but I couldn't have known this. Calling me a pussy out of the blue won't change mine or anyone's mind about the series, nor give me a better impression of it. It could have easily had an opposite effect.
Again, I apologize if I made you or the artist feel bad by my comment. I'm still enjoying the series even if I don't like the fight scenes. c:
As an artist as well I know how hard it can be to get criticized when you never asked for it, but it's something even non artists have to go trough. Not everyone can like everything you do, so it's just best to do whatever pleases yourself.
That sounds a bit hypocritical after I actually was the one to criticize. I am feeling a bit bad bad about it, but I still don't think I should be held accountable for writing a comment about my feelings on this platform. Just like you did on that another series comment section.
You misunderstood something.
I'd like to argue that, with this arc, I believe the focus isn't Daniel nor Vasco. They are there as righteous / moral figure.. I guess? Idk how to put it. But anyway, I think 'God Dog' story centre around God Dog's leader Johan.
The author with this manhwa was never about the characters, they're simply there to be sort of the "messenger" / the face & personality. I've always thought the author has his own agendas behind all the characters. For example, how he used Jiho (the short loner glasses kid who went to jail) to inject / give insight on the psychological part of gambling addiction, negative peer influence, too trustful & just basically a complete garbage gullible dumbass. Cause there's always something to take / learn from almost every important arc.
But yeah I see your point. It may not be a strong arc and I get why it can be exhausting to read. I'm not gonna argue that the plot could've been a lot better since you're allowed to feel that way.
This makes sense to me. Maybe I was indeed too invested in the characters themselves instead of the message. I did feel bad for Johan, but I never thought of it that way. I'm propably going to take a new perpective to read this toon in the future thanks to this. Though I think the message could still be delivered without that much fighting scenes, they do make more sense if the point was to get Johan's story across instead of the persons closer to Daniel. Since Johan is involved with gangs it would be weird not to show any fights at all.
I fell a bit dumb for not realizing this type of storytelling sooner, specially after the jail arc, now that I think about it. Still doesn't change my feelings about how boring the fights are to read, but I understand why they want to show them now.
Anyway, thanks for opening my eyes a bit. I think I'll be able to enjoy Lookism more now that I understand better. :D
this is going into a direction that i didn't sign up for when i started reading. it's basically just fight after fight and it's getting kind of boring. i like the story and i do like where it's going, but all the scenes seem the same now. good guy vs bad guy. good guy gets beaten, they make a comeback, bad guy gets beaten. and sometimes the bad guy makes a comeback and good guy makes a second comeback. they just drag the fights for way too long. i didn't think this would be so heavy in the fighting side.
